EA, fund it.
Honestly my beef isn't with CoD's graphics. They're okay enough besides the terrible art direction some games have (like the venerable Ghosts, where the colors are so washed out you can't even distinguish enemies from the environment).
My beef is moreso with the actual gameplay, stuff like the abhorrent hit-detection, non-existent gun balance, over-abundance of useless perks and killstreaks, the terribly-optimized netcode, etc. If they can fix all of that stu...
The difference between 'arrow to the knee' and the fish jokes is that the fish jokes are actually funny.
Right now the chips are being fabbed at TSMC. They will be getting fabbed at GloFo (Global Goundries, the fab that was spun off from AMD themselves about a decade or so ago.)
Will it change the "quality"? Not really, but it might allow them to have better yields or something down the line. In the future, it's a no-brainer that the chips will get die shrinks which will lower power consumption and heat generation by large amounts. I guess the next die shrink will...
Tom Hulett left quite some time ago to join WayForward, and Devin Shatsky left before Downpour even came out because his work was already done, and he wanted to be closer to his family. Regardless, they did a great job on the games they worked on, and I don't get the retarded hate that a lot of "fans" had for them.
Kojima? Nah, Kojima himself said he's not confident he'd do a good job with it, and I don't want someone like that to work on a new game...
The sad thing is that the next game will most likely continue the terrible direction the series has went down, and even worse -- the game will still sell millions off of hype and marketing alone.
I remember after RE6 came out, some time later, Capcom announced that RE5 was like, their best-selling game of all time. The way they said it -- combined with the fact that they were very well-aware of the negative criticism the 6th game was getting -- made them come off as "LO...
There was only one Dynasty Warriors game on PS1, and it was a 1v1 2D polygonal fighting game.
Koei Warriors games haven't been graphical powerhouses by any means, but the 7th Generation games did look pretty damn good for what they were, even whilst keeping decent smooth framerates. Dynasty Warriors 8 on PS4 wasn't even built from the ground-up for PS4, it was pretty much just a slightly-scaled up port from the PS360 version.
I'd expect them to ...

Even if the X1's Bonaire GPU were clocked higher than the PS4's Pitcairn GPU, it wouldn't mean that it was actually faster. Clockspeed is only one factor of performance -- architecture plays a huge role in this as well. The Pitcairn GPU's simply have more render and compute resources which can be leveraged to provide higher performance -- and that's not even counting the fact that the X1 GPU is 128-bit memory bus whereas the PS4's GPU has the 256...
Just for reference, the original Medal of Honor games and early Call of Duty games (which were actually made by the people who made Medal of Honor: Allied Assault, i.e. Infinity Ward before they left EA and named themselves that) were all great games.
Maybe he was just legitimately curious? Jesus, people on N4G are way too combative and defensive.
I lol'd at 'Netcode 4', xD.
A framerate that is constantly at 30fps is better than one that is constantly shifting around from 30 to 45 to 50 to 42 to 55, etc. Big jumps in framerate like that can cause stuttering and input lag. If the framerate is locked at 30 instead, it would feel "smoother" than a framerate that is constantly shuttering around all over the place.
Yeah, most of the people who do this are the people who buy everything they see just because it's cheap when those massive Steam sales happen. Doesn't make any sense to me, but as they say, a fool and his money are easily departed.
Yeah, I remember when that game first came out, everyone was worshiping it as if it were the best game ever made. Only took me a week or so to realize that the game was incredibly flawed, and definitely not deserving of all the perfect scores it got.
Yeah, it may be ludicrous at times, but it's not sexist. We see just as many buffed-up wonder boys with no shirts on just as much as we see hot chicks clad in bikinis made out of dental floss. It's a two-way street, really.
I was livid when I found out that they put The Getaway 3 and Eight Days "on hold" to do EyePet and Singstar 4491 instead. Those two games (Getaway & 8 Days) were some of the reasons I bought my PS3 all those years ago.
Best case would be it being released on PS4, X1, and PC, to maximize profits and ensure that tons of people get in on the fun. The fact that the original two games were Dreamcast and Xbox exclusives didn't help their anemic sales figures back in the day.
The first game at the time was sort of ahead of its time, and while it certainly wasn't without its flaws, most gamers just weren't feeling it back then. Then by the time the second game came out, the Dreamcast w...
Armageddon was the piece of shit that killed off the entire franchise. Screw that noise.
Mass Effect isn't even an FPS. Do you know what FPS stands for? "First-Person Shooter". Mass Effect is a TPS, or Third-Person Shooter.
Anyway, wishing death on an entire genre just because you don't like some of the games in it is just stupid. If you don't like those games, then simply don't play them. There's TONS of other games in many different genres besides Call of Duty and Battlefield.
Watch this end up becoming a secret "Extra Ops" mission in TPP. If Big Boss could bone Kazuhira on the beach in a cardboard box, this scenario isn't far-fetched at all.
