There will be a lot of big first person shooters at E3, but one on many minds is Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. Gameinformer close in on an exclusive Road To E3 2007 coverage interview with Infinity Ward Studio Head Grant Collier, and not only give you the full run-down on this highly anticipated shooter, but a number of new screens as well.
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?
those screens look simply amazing!
this and KZ2 will own all - sooo looking 4ward for this title - i just hope they have co-op online
This is looking great! The lighting is like nothing I have ever seen!
They pretty much say NO CO OP for this years COD. But seems like its a goal for future gen of COD since they are fans of CO OP.
They also mention this "There are some small differences on the technical side between the Xbox 360 and the PS3. For our engine, they really seem to be minor as far as what the player is going to notice."
He also mentions PC will have 32 players online while 360 and PS3 will have 16.
I just hope the PS3/360 versions are as good as PC one in terms of graphics and gameplay. Nice new screens, cant wait.
...no co-op...
"Collier: Well, we’ve always been huge fans of co-op and have always wanted to do it, but we’ve always been biting off so much—we bite off huge amounts—like when we had Call of Duty 2 a launch title for 360. Now, with the entire change to modern warfare and the total revamping of the technology, whenever we set out to do something we want to do it really, really well. We want to do co-op, but we want to do it really, really well. I’m not going to comment on the future, but we’re fans of it and anything we do we want to do really, really well."
Why don't they just do it really, really well and implement it into CoD4. Problem solved. :-)
