Looks like it's easy to downport to current gen devices.

Also the gameplay looked just completely braindead. Zero replayability.

its COD.

most people don't give a shit about SP and it's replayability

 

[Tookay]

dog acts as communications medium

Fucking lol.

 

[hey_it's_that_dog]

It would be the best if after jumping through the window the dog unlocked the door for you.

Also wtf at having a gun but using your dog to shatter a window.

 

[Hypereides]

No diver dog?

Considering its one of the major selling points, I'm shcoked aswell that the dog is missing from this footage.

Hopefully IW is working on a scuba suit for the dog.

So we can't say is bad?

 

[CF_Fighter]

As usual this will be a rental. I have a soft-spot for the over-the-top Michael Bay style campaigns. I'm also interested in at least hearing about what this "event" was that has so thoroughly wrecked America. San Diego's suburbs looked like a hell-hole in that one level.

 

[Tookay]

Shortly after that gif, the dog is found lying on the other side of the window, embedded with glass shards and dying. You have to perform a QTE to mercy kill it.

[Majanew]

Lol it'd be too dangerous to let a dog constantly jump through closed windows. It'll get sliced up eventually.

This is a common misconception. Some years ago, like a few...I don't remember, but an IW guy was quoted in an article saying how "50% of the people who buy CoD don't even go online. They just get it for the campaign.". It sounds crazy but he said it. Maybe it's 30-40% now, who knows.

 

[MikeE21286]

Looks good graphics-wise. Decidedly cross-gen "haze" is apparent though.

Wish they would have selected a 1080p feed with a non-water section.

Also looked to dip below 60FPS a good number of times.


The gameplay looks completely unchanged though. But I'll probably pick it up to have some next-gen CoD action.

 

[Mass Effect]

Not necessarily knocking the game, but could they have picked a more boring level to demo? I mean seriously, that was fucking dull.

Also, they should do fur-shading on the dog. We got that on the Gamecube back in 2002, consoles should be able to do it today.

 

[Kandinsky]

Honestly we are going to rely on exclusives from both sides to finally see what next gen can achieve. Even if I think this footage is way above anything current gen is still below BF and KZ.

 

[CrisKre]

Not feeling this at all. Looks boring to me.

 

[Dude Abides]

Why did they chose such a boring part of the game to demo? Pick something interesting next time.

This assumes they have something interesting to show.

Can't wait for next generation. I'm loving all of these innovative new ideas in gameplay.

Spoiler

So where's the gameplay?

 

[IcyBlueStrawberry]

Gameplay looked the same as every COD game since 4.

Graphics were better than any other COD, but that's not really saying much.

 

[Smokey]

So we can't say is bad?

You can say what you want...but it's COD. I dunno why people expect some earth shattering revelation every year. It's the Madden of FPS.

 

[survivor]

Doesn't look too interesting. Then again I never liked any of the SP footage they demoed in the past for the previous games. Will wait for the multiplayer videos and whatever coop thing they have planned for this game.

 

[Tomat]

This assumes they have something interesting to show.

Whether or not you find CoD interesting (assuming you don't ) is one thing, but usually CoD campaigns, despite all the scripting, do have more interactive/involving parts than the underwater sequence.

[Hagi]

same old boring shit just underwater woop woop

 

[KAL2006]

the YouTube videos on the OP are bad quality, anywhere I can watch in full quality

 

[HeelPower]

I'll be honest I am already attached to Dog..His gameplay parts were hilarious lol

 

[DidntKnowJack]

Here comes the next gen, same as the old gen.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

I think that dog into window gif is our new wallguy for the next generation.

 

[xandaca]

I bet you won't even be able to savage a chicken.

 

[ebullientprism]

You would be surprised how wrong this is.

A lot of people I know buy CoD for the SP and only dabble in the MP. And this isnt anecdotal either, Steam achievements stats back that up. CoD has more people finishing the SP than most traditional SP games.

Edit This looks dire though. Not just graphics but everything. So bland.

 

[Randdalf]

Wow, the two clips I've seen take linear to a whole new level, the other guy literally tells you exactly what to do now.

 

[scitek]

Actually, this is current-gen gameplay running on next-gen hardware, if I'm not mistaken.

 

[TedNindo]

Perfect example of making a game as good as you can get away with.

I wonder what COD would have looked like today if IW remained as it was and had freedom to do whatever the fuck they wanted with the series.

 

[fluffydelusions]

I still don't get why you'd want a dog to jump through a window when you've got guns

 

[Valravn]

What a surprise.
It looks like every other CoD game.

 

[The Librarian]

I still don't get why you'd want a dog to jump through a window when you've got guns

NextGen immersion.

 

[Arkos]

Q: How is CoD Ghosts like the dog van from Dumb and Dumber?

A: They're both just expensive dog vehicles

 

[Smokey]

I still don't get why you'd want a dog to jump through a window when you've got guns

Riley needs some action too

Correct me if I'm wrong, but weren't the original CoD campaigns fairly similar, just a little less scripted?

I know I've got CoD1 + the expansion lying around here somewhere. May give the singleplayer a go.

With radios.

unless you were serious, of course

Who's that and what is his contribution to society?

I wouldn't be so sure about that. I'm pretty sure there has been more than one statistic proving otherwise.

 

[Cosmozone]

That first Youtube comment is hilarious.

 

[Giant Panda]

I was under the impression that shooting guns underwater didn't work too well…

 

[Jburton]

That action lol!

Yawn me thinks.

 

[Minigo]

So that Dog, at the end, ehhhhh right?

 

[HelloMeow]

 

[bj00rn_]

While ARMA, im guessing just has water environments within their big maps that may not get as many details since the map is huge to begin with. COD:G only has to deal with prebaked levels so they are not comparable i would say.

I wasn't disputing or complaining about that. I was puzzled by his "Arma 3 check and mate" talk regarding underwater scenery, which has no root in reality.

 

[ToD_]

The underwater section looks pretty good to me, judging by the low quality(!) youtube video. The series don't interest me, so I won't be picking this up, but I thought it was pretty impressive.

 

[NullPointer]

its COD.

most people don't give a shit about SP and it's replayability

Plenty enough do though.

But lets take what you're saying as gospel. Why not make a full on Spec Ops co-op campaign that can be solo'd? Make THAT the campaign for COD.

No need for a focus on story or hollywood screenwriters. Just awesome missions that you can play solo or with a buddy. Give it loadouts and a progression system and a star rating.

Boom.

I'd offer the same advice to DICE. Take that onslaught mode, refine it, and pack it with enough content to stand in as a campaign.

The fact that neither company is doing this is just insane to me.

 

[HeelPower]

I wouldn't be so sure about that. I'm pretty sure there has been more than one statistic proving otherwise.

Yes I know people who actually raved about blops campaign T_T They even urged me to buy the game just for the SP.
