With the Holiday avalanche of games upon us. Can CoD 4 maintain its online dominance or will it fall off the map due to all the new competition being released over the next two months in the shooter genre?
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."

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
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Call Of Duty is back with its yearly instalment, but is Modern Warfare 3 breaking new ground, or just a lazy cash grab? The answer may not surprise you in today's review from JDR.
R2 will create new sales records this Fall
and also in reviews
please mark my words on that prediction
I will mark those words,, but what do I win when you are wrong?
But COD 4 is the best shooter on either console right now. Don't believe me? Just look at the NPD chart from last Oct to now and tell me if you can count that high. Also, I dont see Gears 2 or Resistance 2 doing anything to hurt the sales of the new game. Not only is it bigger, but its already been said by many reviwers and previwers that the game is as good if not better then COD4. You fanboys won't ever accept that fact, but I dont care, and neither does Activision. I promise you the COD5 will be the most played game in November.
I had fun with COD4, but I traded it in once I got the Socom Beta.. COD4 was good for what it was.. A mindless FPS.. Ive never seen a game where I can kill 70 people in a match and it be the norm.. Get 7 kills Hide call helicopter.. Helicopter gets 7 kills hide.. Call another.. Rinse repeat.. Game got boring.. But I give it credit it kept my attention for a couple months.. Now SoCrack Is back!!!
Im a Sony Fanboy myself, but anyone who plays COD4 knows that you can only call in one airstrike, and one helicopter per life. So I doubt your even good enough to say that you can get 70 kills in one game. Also, if your sick of playing Mindless games then play search and destroy or any other game besides TDM and domination.
Im calling you out on trading in COD4 for socom. I for one think that Socrack needs to get delayed because its not even half of what I expected it to be, and the lag online is horrible,, I would rather play p2p then these retarded dedicated servers that have no use. Yes it has tons of potential, but I think that the 3rd person view in the game makes it the most unrealistic shooter on the ps3. COD4 is far superior to Socom,, with the realistic recoil from firing weapons to the realistic reloading magazine clip animations.
I think the claymores and C4 are totally retarded in the game too. The C4 should have the remote detonation but nooo, that wouldn't make sense. So they put a timer instead, and put the detonators on claymores that should be proximity. The game is retarded. The game modes are boring. The graphics dont even look as good as COD4. It takes forever to get into a game,, man I could just keep on going.
Like I said, Im a ps3 fanboy, but I own both systems and I will say what is wrong with a game without candy coating. You have to have a loose screw in your head if you think Socom could replace any COD game. Oh yeah, Im getting Resistance 2 and not Gears because Ive seen both play and Gears just looks more of the same. Too many games out now to be playing the same old stuff ya know what I mean? I heart Fable2 though. Guess I get the best of both worlds cause I own both.
