'Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare' trailer (PC/XB1/PS4/360/PS3, Nov 4th) [Up: Info]

So you are fine with co-marketing by Sony & 3rd parties, but not fine with co-marketing by Microsoft & 3rd parties?

Some posts here just show how they are fanboyism.

You buying Destiny? Assassins Creed?...heck..didn't the Batman games have Somy exclusive stuff?...did you buy those?


God I hate defending MS/ACTIVISION/CoD....leaves a bad taste in my mouth...but come on...

calm down, i'm just annoyed at having to wait a month or more for new maps.

So Sony and X partnerships are the good kind of bullshit?
i'd prefer if neither company did this but if it has to be one, i'd rather it be Sony since i own a Playstation. make sense?

Dat Xbox marketing...

Seriously, this is why Activison is the number one publisher right now unlike that stupid EA. They know how to get cash. They play it smart by keeping COD marketing active on Xbox brand while pushing other new IPs like destiny, diablo on PS system to attract other side of gaming crowd. Also PS fans have traditionally been more open to trying new genres.

But stupid EA threw all money at Xbox with BF and now gonna back peddle like chumps.

People still thinking that the Playstation and Xbox audiences are different when most of the time the same kind of games sell well on both consoles and many people own both. Also wish this "console warz" bullshit that invades EVERY thread these days would die in a fucking fire.

Anyway trailer looks good, but seeing as how this is a COD game i am not expecting too much out of it these days. They haven't really been great since COD4.

Really liked the future setting and it's impressive visually.
I'm afraid it's going to be the same scripted crap though.
If the wall climbing and jetpacks are really open it could change the level design in a positive way but I don't have my hopes up.

Didn't even bother watching the gameplay, I just wanted to see digital Kevin Spacey. I'm genuinely surprised anyone cares about the story in these games anymore. (Admittedly, I'm just assuming that at least one person said "That looks fun guys".)

This. If we check the best selling software on both platforms, we will see most of them are the same.
 
Looks alright.

Kevin Spacey, Exoskeletons, PMCs being the villains not those no-good Russians, Nigeria...

For a next gen game though I'd have thought they could do a better job on the mocap, the textures on Kevin Spacey's facey weren't great.
 
But Kevin Spacey didn't work on The Rock? Or perhaps that's the devil's greatest trick.

The font treatment makes it look like a DIRT crossover.

Ken Block and Oscar Mike teaming up against a Finnish megalomaniac/rally champion. Biathlon with cars. They should do this.

I was honestly a little bit freaked out when I scrolled down the first time. If I could purchase that Kevin Spacey doll I'd buy them all and burn them.

Dude, there are franchises which have been close to one system than the other. Whenever it's COD, the system that comes is Xbox. But when it is AC, it's PS.

And how is my comment related to console war in any form?

I was talking talking in general in relation to posts i am seeing in this thread.

disappointed its not next gen only, I'll pass.

I don't think you'll be seeing a COD game that isn't cross gen until the 360/PS3 are completely dead.

I am disappointed that those drones are still massive. A future with flying bikes, but no small hand sized drones? cmon!

Hmm I think this is sort of the case really. Sure I think the likes of COD/Fifa will sell well on both regardless, but it seems the PS audience is simply more open to new genres and unique titles, while for Xbox, well my brother and his friends are still playing 360 mostly, all they buy and play are Fifa/COD/GTA/maybe BF, none of them ever seem interested in single player experiences, mostly just games you can play together and it's usually the big brand names for that. For PS, we're seeing things like Heavy Rain, Journey, Unfinished Swan and the like actually sell well. I just can't see that happening on Xbox.

Well I was thinking maybe they'll make it less of a wait this time. With PS3, not so sure COD owners were quite the majority of the overall COD owners, so I guess Activision simply didn't care or see the urgency.
With PS4 being in the lead by nearly 2:1 I believe, I don't think PS4 owners will be keen if a month wait for a map pack, I don't think they'll want to annoy that much audience. Maybe they will though, depends how much MS pay I guess ha ha. If you care that much about playing map packs day 1, just get an X1 if that makes you happy, COD still wants to prefer Xbox, and probably won't change, I think Activision will want to keep COD Xbox presence and Destiny PS4 presence, good deal for me as far as I'm concerned, ha ha, but I'd rather rid all this rubbish tbh.

looks better than anything Treyarch has done. Once I saw mechs and the speeder bikes, wall climbing shit, etc. I got interested. To call this CoD is hilarious though. It's not, but I understand they want to sell copies so why not, eh.

interested unless it plays exactly like the rest

I wonder if the super jumps can be used in MP, that'd be one step toward titanfall-like gameplay.

Off-topic:
Can someone explain to me what is wrong with Battlefield 4 ?
What's making it have such a bad rep ? Details please, not just 'it's glitched" (what glitches?) ?

Better get uninterested!

It had a lot of irritating bugs and bad lag that lasted for 6 months after it's release. The major stuff is patched up, but there are a few loose ends here and there. It just annoys people that the publisher and developer of such a high-profile series can't iron those things out in anything resembling a timely manner.

titanfall comparisons are a bit weird...as if titanfall was first to do high jumping or jetpakcs, mechs, etc...

It's the proximity. Titanfall just came out a month and a half ago, and it was made by ex-Infinity Ward developers. And I've heard people say they can see the Call of Duty roots in it to some extent. Haven't played it myself though, so I wouldn't know.

They haven't been able to get the shit together even in 5 months time. Too much rubber banding/lag and it gets worse in 64 player maps. Also game sometimes freezes in dawnbreaker map.

From my experience on PC - atrocious rubberbanding (I haven't tried after the new servers though but that should have been solved a long time ago), fundamentally bad netcode for shooter (tickrate of only 10Hz whereas something like CS has 100Hz, getting killed despite entering cover, poor feedback in damage indication - multiple shots get heavily condensed giving the illusion you just got 1 shot killed despite no headshot). When the game works, it's brilliant but that comes up rare for me.

So I watches the Trailer and i thought " meh".
The graphics are less than standard for the Current Gen. Lightning was not very good and you could see a lot of aliasing. I know this can be fixed, but it looks like they are using the same shit old Quakeengine all over again. I know they want to stick with the " CoD" feel , but when are they going to have the balls to change to their new Acti engine ? It really really bothers me.
The story is also the same old stuff, just no Russians, not we see PMC's.

The only thing I am curious about is MP. I hope you have the Mobility and the high large jumps from the Trailer in there. I also beg that they think "less is more". All the perks and Killstreaks made the game worse. Thats why CoD4 was the best game in the modern serious,

Wow, just zero journalist integrity, i don't care if this is coming from Acti or not, you suppose to actually service your readers above all and inform them on all platforms and not to act like a fucking PR arm, embarrassing.

This may have been a clause to be able to do the debut, no direct mention of competing platforms. So it's not like they have an option to have the rights to the debut while advetising the debut in ways Activision doesn't like.

Not that I root for IGN but dissecting the issue.
 
Ok so, the game itself looked fantastic without Spacey, but christ, the game has Kevin Spacey in it! I'm fine with this. Campaign is looking awesome.

What I will say though, this future tech stuff sure does open a lot of doors for bullshit, no skill gimmicks in multiplayer. Black Ops 2 had quite a bit of stuff that pissed me off and this looks even more 'advanced'.
In multiplayer, please don't add in all this bullshit tech / abilities that can kill without the other player standing any kind of chance.
