Black Ops 3 dev shocked by Deus Ex comparison. "We always start from real tech"

It's not a huge surprise that most people took one look at the new Black Ops 3 trailer and thought 'hmm, looks a bit Deus Ex-y', what with all the augmentations and so on. It was, however, a complete revelation to multiplayer director Dan Bunting.

lol COD games always copied one or some mechanics from other games. No surprise.

Xavior_Reigns3980d ago

Yup, first Titanfall now Deus Ex. Hopefully they modify the borrowed elements better than the same engine they continue to use.

InTheLab3980d ago

Just want to point out that Titanfall isn't original either....

Xavior_Reigns3980d ago

@ InTheLab

True but if I'm not mistaken, it was the first to bring lots of attention to those mechanics.

AceBlazer133979d ago

@Xavior_Reigns boasting a borrowed/copied idea as original doesn't look much better so yh lets just say a lot of games borrow from each other.

Antifan3980d ago

COD also copied Mario 64's dynamic fish AI lol

Muzikguy3979d ago (Edited 3979d ago )

The COD devs always act like they work so hard. Type up a speech that's a few paragraphs making it seem like you're doing something and see how many millions you can fool again. I don't buy any of that talk they're saying. Sorry, I just can't. Fish AI, dogs, jet packs....

Before I actually saw the trailer for Black Ops3 I was thinking about giving it a shot. The second I saw the person jump on the wall and use a jet pack I said "nope, not this time". :/

seanpitt233979d ago

I would of defiantly bought it if they went back to world war 2 style but sadly they stuck with the exo suit crap and all you do is get shot in the back thinking how did he get there... Oh yeah we can basically fly now.

"For the first time on this planet we're releasing CoD to next gen coonsoles PS4 and XBONE. Never before has any developer ever embarked on this great journey as we are ding now. You'll see Next gen graphics, next gen linearity, nextgen repetitiveness and obciously nextgen rehash of similar mechanics you never found in other games!"

spacedelete3979d ago (Edited 3979d ago )

i think you people are over thinking this. i doubt Activision even knows that Dues Ex exists. how much copies did Dues Ex HR sell ? probably 1 or 2 million then compare them to COD sales.

DankSinatra3979d ago

You do realize deus ex existed before call of duty.

bixxel3979d ago

Enough to be in sight of the planet's develoeprs.

AnotherProGamer3979d ago

I didn't know Dues Ex created the concept of human augmentation

Vegamyster3979d ago

Every game copies from one another, look at how many games started using create a class/loadout after CoD 4 popularized it.

Shocked? Own up to it. DX:HR made some waves, it's not like they were all oblivious.

Braid3980d ago

I am shocked too. Please don't compare Deus Ex to COD because Deus Ex is a god compared to run and gun military shooters. What a game Human Revolution was.

AnotherProGamer3979d ago

lol HR is a watered down game from the original

Shinuz3980d ago

Well i for one thought it looked like crysis 2.

Yeah, the Microsoft deal has DEFINITELY worked out for everyone.

galgor133d ago

Can this mother fucker just get lost already

PRIMORDUS133d ago

He belongs in here ⚰️, hopefully sooner than later.

MrDead133d ago (Edited 133d ago )

Kotick Made $155 million from MS in the buyout, the little b*tch needs to stop whining. Thanks to this Microslop deal and massive industry consolidation thousands upon thousands of devs and other workers lost their livelihoods. This greedy piggie pervert needs shut up and f-off.

Microsoft needs to listen or risk irreparable harm to Call of Duty

Windows Central: "The money may keep rolling in, but Microsoft is the custodian of one of the biggest selling video game series in history. If something doesn't change, I fear we'll reach a breaking point and irreparable damage will have been done."

Because ms is so good at managing studios, surely they will get it right

:P

franwex184d ago

In my view, they should probably merge MP with Warzone and essentially make it free to play like Halo Infinite. The campaign/zombies mode can be $30 yearly DLC. I know this would be insanity as most COD players essentially pay the full price of the game simply for the MP. However-with a shrinking player base they may have to consider it. Making it free would bring in a ton of players.

Profchaos184d ago

To late MW3 should have been a lesson but here we are two years later with a steaming pile a shite called blops7

bsingle40184d ago

Nothing lasts forever, eventually something will come along to make people forget about COD

Halo killer once arrived and technically call of duty killer also arrived, its name is Fortnite

dveio184d ago

Call of Duty was riding the revenue horse and charts for ~20 years. Whether undeserved or deserved.

But I endorse everyone to remind you that Microsoft could have decided differently when they took it over.

The money was certainly there, and they could have taken their time revamping the franchise:

Current-gen tech, manageable microtransactions, not imitating Fortnite and returning to core values of the franchise's origin.

They didn't.

Let's see next year. Hopefully without the then 13 years old PS4 and One hardware.

blacktiger183d ago

you need to stop saying "let see next year"
