Guardian Unlimited's first impressions from a night with Infinity Ward's riproaring modern shooter: " ..Oh and the visuals are stunning - not just for effects or basic aesthetic competence, but for the sense of place. The detail. Pulverised low-rise buildings, bullet-riddled vehicles burnt out and rusting in the sun, rubbish swirling through deserted streets like tumbleweed. CoD4 is a patchwork of every nightmare battlezone to hit our screens for the last twenty years. In its approximation of war-battered streets, all that's missing is haunted-eyed kids playing amid the soldiers."
"I advise you to buy this game when it hits the shelves on Friday and then cancel whatever you have planned for next weekend. As a lesson in multiplayer level design, CoD 4 is quite possibly peerless."
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?
This is nice and all but when are the reviews coming? I thought the embargo lifted today. I have both systems and do not know which one to get it for. I am not going to base my buying decision on what fanboys quote from a gamedaily article comparing incomplete builds of a game. I wonder if a true comparison will be up today. I plan on going to pick up my pre order after I get off of work. I am open to getting either version because I love both platforms, just hurry with the comparisons already.
Just come out already... f@ck w/ level design..I just want to play it...
First!
Oh wait...second!
I've read nothing bad for this game..... I'm a little excited about this... next week is Assassin Creed's debut, right?? sigh... so little time......
I dont see how they can possibly lower the review scores for this game when they come out....unless they do the same to this one as they did with ratchet and say it has....(FAMOUS IDIOT QUOTE) TOO MUCH VARIETY..Gamespot LOL
he said to come back at around 5:30 and they should have it, and if ur gettin the 360 version, my friend already had it [i was surprised] and playing it, when i went to go compare games i saw like 90% of the achievements are beating the game on veteran and the rest were things like "get 4 headshots in a row in campaign" and "kill an enemy in campaign after getting flashbanged"...it didnt look like there were any online achievements..
