VideoGamer.com writes: "Ubisoft has bullishly claimed that upcoming open world safari FPS Far Cry 2 is "more fun" than Infinity Ward's phenomenally successful Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare."
"I think it's more fun for everybody," said Far Cry 2 multiplayer producer Richard Gaetan. "In Call of Duty 4, the good guys are always the same, they always play the same way. In Far Cry 2 you cannot do that. You have to adapt, you have to change your strategy. And with the map editor you won't be able to learn your maps, because you have so many and if you want to play with your friends and with different people then you have to switch - it will be a bit of a surprise all of the time. So I think it's more fun."
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.
The original Modern Warfare and Modern Warfare 2 games have been drawing players back in
I really hope we get other activision games on GP soon. My dream would be Scarface but I know the license probably expired
Love me some Scarface! I even bought the comics. Yeah, licensing would probably be an impasse.
I played through Scarface again last year and it still holds up. Such a fun game. I would love for Xbox to get the rights back to remaster Scarface and make a sequel. It sold well and they had plans for Scarface 2, 3, and 4. With how long it takes Rockstar to make games the market is wide open.
That game was so much fun. Expected a cheap GTA clone but it was a good drug empire building game.
They didn't just have plans but there's actual gameplay out there for scarface 2
Seriously man we need games like
True crime
Sleeping dogs
Watch dogs( more like original not legion)
And proper saints row
GTA can’t be the only option we need other games
None of those games had dedicated servers on console in the first place? Were always player hosted. Did something change?
call of duty 5 claims it will be better than cod 4 so really it should be Vs in that not something that everyone been playing for a year
i wonder if u can make new maps and share them on xbox live for free. i hope so
I think Far Cry 2 will def. be better than COD5 but not sure if how it compares with COD4. But he is right...map editor gives so many possibility therefore one can not learn all the maps.
they did it with the first farcry on xbox so they sure will do it on this
I would of like to of seen better support from the ps3 side like unreal
The only thing I'm worried about is being able to see the enemy. From the videos I've seen it seems like people pop out of nowhere. Hopefully that changes when I play for myself.
And they're right about COD4. You always know where the snipers are camping out, and I do often find myself doing the same things depending on the map. I think that made me lose interest after a while (although I'm starting to play COD4 again, which is a testament to its awesomeness). If you really can change the environment like they say, it could be a really great game. I'm interested to see if the console versions get a map editor, and how its implemented. I think there was a PS3 trophy for playing custom maps, so I guess there will at least be maps for download.
On a side note, I'm really disappointed FarCry2 doesn't have co-op. It seems like the perfect game for it. I'm really hoping they add that on (even though there is almost no chance of that happening, ever). I'd even consider paying for co-op mode as DLC if the game is as good as it looks.
