Call of Duty: Ghosts Review| IGN

Call of Duty: Ghosts isn't a reinvention of the franchise, but proves there's still room for innovation within its existing formula. Though at the risk of overcomplicating things at times, its robust multiplayer gameplay, surprisingly fun co-op modes, and lengthy, challenging, and varied campaign makes Ghosts one of the best Call of Duty games to date.

I prefer xbox, but I just watched the XB1 gameplay of this and I can't comment on any other version, but the game just looks terrible. It looks no better than MW3, and the animations in this game look like a budget title... I'm sure that applies to PS4 and PC as well... please knock it off with the year after year titles. Take a break, regroup, and make a game that wows us, this looks pathetic and you should be ashamed of yourselves for disgracing the Call of Duty franchise. This game hasn't changed in years and this title only reinforces that notion.

MasterCornholio3845d ago

Well with the PS4 and PC versions you get a terrible looking game at a higher resolution. Which is really sad in my opinion when you compare it to Battlefield 4 and Killzone Shadow fall.

This Gen will be the downfall of cod and the rise of Killzone and battlefield.

Cod still manages to get a very good score from ign. .. why am I not surprised??

torchic3845d ago

LOL trust IGN to give CoD a 9! (8.8 is very close to 9 so leave me alone and let me make my point!)

I'm not into conspiracy theories and I doubted this whole "IGN always gives CoD a 9" but wow you can't deny it after this!

-Foxtrot3844d ago

Find it funny aswell how Battlefield 4 got an 8 (8.5 for PC) yet despite calling out Battlefield 4 for some things they ignore them in Ghosts.

I mean 8.8....seems like they wanted to be close to a 9 without actually giving it a nine AND at the same time make sure it has a better score then Battlefield 4.

johny53845d ago (Edited 3845d ago )

They have been giving high scores for Call of Duty since COD4: Modern Warfare yet time and time again they ignore user complains about Activision not innovating enough on there sequels and using a god damn 13 year old engine!

Yet the amount of money spent on advertising and paying off these publishers could go into a brand new engine but since there greedy "and it shows" they prefer to change the color and scenery and slap a new name on it and call it a new game! How sad.

You have totally lost me IGN...

All Call of Duty Games Ranked from Worst to Best

BLG writes: "Call of Duty has to be the most recognizable franchise on the planet. They didn’t get that way by only making a handful of games.

COD has a long and storied career. Launching as a PC WW2 first-person shooter, Call of Duty has gone through numerous makeovers and been on just about every system. The series has gone through some serious highs and tragic lows. I’ll be looking at each Call of Duty game, the good the bad, and the ugly."

Vanguard better be at the fkn bottom. Can’t believe ppl haven’t eviscerated that game with all its lacking

Minimoth819d ago

Yeah, it's close to the bottom. There are a couple of worse ones. Infinite Warfare definitely deserves its place.

KyRo819d ago

There's a number a lot worse than Vangaurd. It's also a lot better than that car crash Treyarch released before it.

XbladeTeddy819d ago

World at War is my favourite. Didn't know the N-Gage had a Call of Duty.

MadLad819d ago

Same for me.
I was never huge into Call of Duty, but I sunk a lot of time into WaW.
Both the campaign and the multiplayer are on point. Wouldn't mind a remaster.

I quit on CoD for a long while. Though I'm the odd man out that actually really enjoyed the campaign for WWII, being I got it through Humble monthly way back when.

TheLigX819d ago

I really enjoyed the Infinite campaign. Multiplayer... not so much.

Yppupdam819d ago

I agree, The Infinite campaign feels more like it's own thing that they slapped the CoD name on. If it stood on it's own, (sans the CoD name) I think it could have been it's own scifi franchise. And a damn good looking game, to boot. I never bothered to play the multiplayer.

victorMaje819d ago

MW 2019 apart from the desastrous file sizes is way better than AW.

MadLad818d ago

That was one I grabbed for Playstation because it pretty much just came out during the Redbox purge of videogames, and I got it for dirt cheap.

It was great coming home to an update every night, and watching one game eat up almost half my console's memory.

Amplitude819d ago (Edited 819d ago )

Will get disagrees but Infinite Warfare campaign was really good. Decent story, set pieces were amazing and if it didn't have the CoD game on it I'm sure people would have been more into it. Advanced Warfare was alright too. Titanfall 2 was just 1000 times better than both but I enjoyed them for their campaigns. I literally barely gaf about the story I'm in it for the set pieces and 5 hours of being stoned watching cool nonsense happen if I'm in the mood to play a CoD campaign. If I'm looking for a deep plot I'm gonna go somewhere else.
Ghosts was the worst story-wise though lol that cliffhanger ending was so bs.

Also MW 2019 was sick and is one of the best CoD games in yeeeears not sure why it's so low on this dude's list. Campaign was great, multiplayer was great and Warzone was fun for a while. Over it now but shrugs.

Beat the Vanguard campaign too but I can't even remember a single thing about it other than that it felt like it was 45 minutes long. Might be the most forgettable thing I've ever played lol just fully erased from my brain

Wore implementation I've ever seen,.. guess it just does not work all that great on every engine

MarkyMark891780d ago (Edited 1780d ago )

Agree, but this gives me hope that one day Ray Tracing can be a software based feature and not require some type of proprietary hardware to achieve. Software will always outpace Hardware so it could happen, but I feel like its going to take a lot more time to achieve the same level that RTX has already shown glimpses of so far. Really just waiting for Cyberpunk to see if RTX is actually something viable. I think if anybody can truly showcase RTX Features it would be Projekt Red.

zeal0us1780d ago

Too bad it doesn't make Mankind Divided a better game.

starchild1780d ago

It doesn't need to, the game was already fantastic, imo.

zeal0us1780d ago

Human Revolution was a better game and not to mention longer.

isarai1780d ago

Reshade is not raytracing, its a screen space post processing effect. Thats like calling SSAO "global illumination"
