Call of Duty: Ghosts

[Nathan]

I don't think the PS4 version will look that much better. Total Biscuit has a first impression video up of Ghost, and he pretty much trashes it. And he is playing on PC, with everything set to the max. I think he calls the game a waste of everyone's time, and even calls the video he made himself and people are watching, a waste of time. Everyone should stick to BlopsII or BF4.

 

[Benstamania]

Or Killzone.

 

[Destructus86]

Wow...I almost bought this game purely because of the space scene..LOL And then I saw the game on max settings...wow...that's kind of a dissapointment.

 

[Tron Bonne]

Apparently, there's been a lot of reports about the PS4 version of Ghosts having a lot of technical issues. Particularly with frame rate, which is COD's bread and butter.

 

[jacobed]

Hahaha killzone. Ah man what a terrible franchise. I guess Sony community has to latch onto some type of shooter franchise.

 

[Tron Bonne]

KZ2 was really good. I never played the third one, though.

 

[Nathan]

Played KZ 1 and 2, but never cared long enough to finish either of them.

 

[Tron Bonne]

The original was alright; it just suffered from being overhyped. The second was legitimately good, though. I enjoyed it as much as I have any other shooter.

 

[CELTICPRED]

Ghosts' mp is excellent. They've finally done away with favoring smg players and have gone back to the open map ranged gameplay. It certainly feels more along the lines of COD4/MW2, outside of not having a good challenge section, which is upsetting.

 

[Benstamania]

Killzone is a GREAT series... Seriously, I'm convinced everyone that "hates" on it never really played it or just hates on it due to OPSM calling it a "Halo Killer" back in the PS2 days. It's a very fun series and Shadow Fall looks to be terrific and quite possibly the best looking next gen game across both systems.

I like Killzone and I'm excited for ShadowFall. I can understand not everyone being a fan of some of the earlier titles compared to other shooters though. It was a good idea getting this available for release before the likes of Destiny and TitanFall and I'd be interested to see how well it does compared to BF4 & CoD on PS4.

The frame rate issues could probably be fixed by lowering the resolution. They've always focused on their 60 FPS even last gen rather than looking good.

 

[Wolfwood]

I've heard that it's not BAD...it's just...Nothing new and a few steps back from Blops and Blops 2. Even the campaign.

This is pretty much it. I'm not sure if I'm just feeling series fatigue, but this game really feels like "more of the same" than any other COD game. I'm really getting into Extinction mode, but pretty annoyed they only gave it one map/mission. Sure, it's long, but come on.

 

[StrainedEyes]

Yes! I was able to get a refund for my digital PS4 preorder. I'm not stuck with this game anymore.

 

[Genesis 1.0]

Wow, just watched a guy go 4-56 in standard Team Deathmatch. It's at that point where you get your receipt, take your copy back to the store and invest in Candy Crush or Lego Batman because this shiz is not for you. How the Hell do you even get 56 Deaths in a 75 Point Core Deathmatch?

 

[Wolfwood]

Wow, his teammates must've been super pissed. I can't fathom how that is possible, I'd love to see the footage of it.

 

[Iceman]

What stats would you expect someone new to gaming to get against CoD veterans or even average CoD players who have been playing for years? There are new people joining every day who are still figuring out how to hold the controller.

 

[Soapy]

Hahaha killzone. Ah man what a terrible franchise. I guess Sony community has to latch onto some type of shooter franchise.

I think I just sprained something I rolled my eyes so hard.

 

[Spider-Vader]

Or Killzone.

Yuck. Not if it was the last game on Earth. Sony should be pushing Resistance as their premiere FPS instead of Killzone.

Does feel like that doesnt it, more like Black Ops as well, not a looker it has to be said but enjoying it more than the last couple CoD games.

Thing is I dont think they will ever get back to the best days for map design like in CoD4/MW2 or WaW, they just cant get them as good as that, but I wouldnt mind a classic map pack this time with some of the best CoD maps of this gen, people always want new ones but that doesnt always mean better.

SP is surprisingly better and more interesting this time too.

Sounds like a hacker to me.

 

[Grievous]

I'm on the fence about arguing that COD games never change. You don't change much and people say its the same old thing again and again. But if you change enough to make a difference then you get people crying they made the game too different and it isn't fun anymore. For example you can't say it has been the same old Halo time and time again, but when 4 came out you had people complaining saying the game wasn't even Halo anymore.

 

[Travesty]

Some of the mechanics stay the same(60fps, the game engine), but they add new perks, guns, attachments, playlists, maps, etc. Every COD game plays completely different than the last. It's not the exact same game, it's just a similar game at the core, put into a completely different settings. If it was the exact same game, than map remakes would play the exact same as they did in previous games, but that is never the case. Just look at all the remakes in BO2, and then tell me those maps play the exact same as they did in BO1. You can't, cause there's so much stuff that has changed since then, that you have to play the game differently.

As for this game, it play completely different than any COD I've played. It's one of the slowest/campiest FPS I have ever played. Since the health is extremely low, you have to play the regular playlists like hardcore. I just stick to domination or crank, cause those seem to be the only playlists where people are actually moving around. Playing regular Team Deathmatch or K/C, and all I see are people camping in corners or holding down hallways or certain parts of the map.

 

[runawayboulder]

The style of the maps do encourage camping. There's way to many areas to hide in.

 

[Grievous]

Well since next gen will have more ppl in lobbies then current gen. It's clear IW made this game with next gen in mind. Which sucks cause current gen makes the maps too big. They need to bring back Ground War. It was my favorite playlist anyway.
