'We want to make COD5 the best game ever'

MCV: Developer Treyarch tells MCV about its lofty ambitions for Call Of Duty: World At War

user8586215810d ago

its like saying cod3 will b better then cod2

Silogon5810d ago

Of course you do but it's a FPs and that means it's going to be more of the same.

Run, shoot, jump, flip some switches, throw some grenades, complete 3 to 4 objectives and don't forget the innovative online modes.

Capture the flag and team deathmatch!!

Sounds like a real blockbuster treading on the new ground they just broke open.

trying to be gamesblow hahah thats an old video

nvm people cant see things funny the way i do jeez.........

Silogon5810d ago

Games blow was an idiot and I hold the honor of never watching anything he has ever done cause he was a complete moron everywhere he went. Neogaf for one. I don't care if he works for Sony or not, he was full of $#*T and wasn't even one guy. Go talk to the guy on the offical blog I always go at it with. He too is named Gamesblow and he will tell you how he and two other guys use the name to troll.

jenzo got the damn joke!!!

haha

solidt125810d ago

I gotta give him props for having a winning attitude about this game being the best when it launches, that can go a long way and lets you know they believe in there game. But after playing MGS4 and with Gear 2 and Resistance 2 shipping around the same time they are going to have a hard time getting people to buy this game so even if it is better it won't appear that way. I will probably play this game at some point because I believe it will be a good game, but I don't think it will be the best. Maybe the best out of the COD series is what he meant.

vickers5005810d ago

Sorry, but BioShock holds that title. 2nd comes call of duty 4.

Well thats all well in good. If you only say you want to make it the best ever you should be fine. But if you come out and say COD5 is the best ever then they will get killed. H@ll they will probably get killed for this statement alone. I think this game will be interesting. I don't believe it will be as good as COD4 but heres to hoping at least the single player takes longer than 7 hours.

Uncommon Calibur5810d ago

They are going to have a hard enough time trying to make this game rentable, they should forget about making it the best game ever made...

Megaton5810d ago

Yeah, no kidding. How about setting reasonable goals first, like somehow making a WWII shooter interesting.

ice_prophecy5810d ago

one should always aim high :)

What was the quote from kojima about flying cars and what not?

*laughs*

ianp6225810d ago

I believe it was "MGS4 is the best. The end."

rushbd5810d ago

deep down every devs want their game to be best. but going press with it before achieving the goal can be fatal.

Looking Back At 2008, An Unbelievably Incredible Year Of Video Game Releases

Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."

ChasterMies25d ago

Some of these low paid video game “news” writers weren’t born before 2007.

just_looken24d ago

Here here

Those that were around before 2000's i am sure are like me that think we entered a world of non readers or those that follow without question.

I can not wait to see fallout 3 a goty game even though it was about water with non content until you add the dlc/updates then you got the performance/crashing

CrimsonWing6925d ago

I don’t think anything can compare to 2023

lucasnooker25d ago

1998 - the best year in gaming! Metal gear solid, crash bandicoot 3, medievil, half life, ocarina of time, thief, tenchu, resident evil 2, Spyro, tomb raider 3, oddworld abes exodus, banjo kazooie.

It was a different breed of a gaming era. You’ll never understand what it was like back then. The aura of gaming, it was different!

KyRo25d ago (Edited 25d ago )

I second this. Gaming was a lot more varied and fun than it is today. I'm 35 so getting on compared to some here but I got to see all the changes from NES up to now but I've never felt so disappointed in any generation than I have this current gen. I was expecting more from this generation rather than prettier versions of games that came before it. Game mechanics have become so refined that alot of games feel the same and has done for a while now.

Maybe it's time to have a break for a while. I love gaming but I don't feel I get much fun in the traditional sense out of it anymore.

CrimsonWing6925d ago (Edited 25d ago )

Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 2, Abe’s Exodus, and Ocarina of Time are the only things from that list that I liked.

Here’s the 2023 game releases that I personally liked… and big releases that I didn’t care for:

- Dead Space Remake
- Wo Long Dynatsy
- Resident Evil 4 Remake
- Diablo 4
- Fire Emblem Engage
- Hogwarts Legcay
- Street Fighter 6
- Hi-Fi Rush
- Like a Dragon: Ishin
- Octopath Traveler 2
- Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters
- Final Fanatsy XVI (actually ended up not liking this, but it was still a big deal release)
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon
- Lies of P
- Mortal Kombat 1
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
- Starfield (Ended up hating this one, but big release)
- Super Mario Bros. Wonder
- Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (I’m an old-school Zelda fan, but didn’t really enjoy this game)
- Alan Wake 2

I mean, honestly I’ve never seen a year of major IP releases like that, ever.

Profchaos25d ago (Edited 25d ago )

Isn't it just a generational thing realistically.

I've been gaming since way back and I some of my favourite games go as far back as the late 80s for me each generation has a year or two of game changing releases one after another before an inevitable dry spell.

I kind of agree gaming had a different feel games hit different because we didn't have the internet nothing got spoiled and you really had to put in the effort to beat a puzzle which could set entire groups of people looking for a solution. But most importantly games were experimental and not as cookie cutter as today even basics like controls were not universal today r2 is shoot l2 is ads garunteed you can't deviate from that in a shooter back then it could of been square, R1 or R1 and circle nothing was standard.

But as time moves on a new generation picks up their controller they are going to be interested in different things that PS1 demo disc with the t Rex blew our primitive 16 bit brains back on launch but to kids today it's laughable.
The new gen of kids coming into to hobby seem to value different things to us there seems to be a huge focus on online play, streamers, gaming personalities, and social experiences, convience of digital downloads. To me I value none of that but that's ok like my parents not liking the band's I would listen to its just the natural cycle.

Gameseeker_Frampt25d ago

Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.

2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.

just_looken24d ago

It still amazes me we got over 7 rockstar games ps2/ps3 but 3 for the ps3/ps4/ps5

Dragon age 1-3 and mass effect 1-3 in 7ish years what a generation.

Why MW 2019 is still the best looking Call of Duty to date

MW 2019 is five years old at this point and on previous gen hardware, but it is still the best looking Call of Duty game to date.

MW was an excellent videogame. They messed up Spec Ops big time, but aside from this it was a huge step in the right direction initially. Most notably, at launch it seemed to come from a very cohesive creative vision that was felt across gameplay, to story to art style/visual direction. It was also very notably written by prominent ex-Naughty Dog guys that quit almost immediately before release.

That COMPLETELY dissolved through post-launch content and the full pivot to a "cross-mode" narrative that completely obliterated the cohesion in overall story direction. Warzone then "became" the new face of Call of Duty and the franchise completely removed itself from anything remotely creatively "good". It is a pure money machine, so I kinda get why they're doing it....but I personally completely lost interest.

I would love to see Infinity Ward move off CoD and get to make their own product with full control. They clearly have some massive talent in their ranks but it's perverted by Activision's corporate interests.
