what even is this review?
2026 CoD is supposed to be the first current gen only CoD featuring the tech overhaul similar to what IW did with MW'19.
2025 CoD is supposed to be in similar vain to 2023's MWIII. Smaller scale. Either that or its also rumored that it might BO1 or BO2 remake.
It'll showcase and not a SoP ... Grubb just used the SoP as a placeholder word
Hope ND, Santa Monica, SP announces their next projects @ the showcase
yep it'll renamed to Quarter-Life 1
again, take away his^ drums ...
Only the Remakes (if done right) might give them some chance ... the Splinter Cell and AC II Remake.
They're also working something interesting & different with AC:Hexe ... so lets see if that works out
that's nice
while this is no excuse ... but Obsidian is more known for RPG mechanics specialization compared to Santa Monica who have been perfecting the hack n slash mechanic since PS2 days ...
you can't just compare id's Doom Eternal gun-fu with something like Deus Ex's can you?
I mean yes you can, both have guns, but the dev's focus is a bit different in both projects
and of course, GoW is a GOTY and Avowed will just be a decent to pretty good RPG at best ......
the game's still at early stage and is by a new studio from a country not known for much game development
I understand what you are saying ... but original was also limited by budget & the X-ray engine ... now maybe they want to appeal to a wider audience & give the game a more cinematic or immersive feel? Cutscenes won't ruin the flow unless the direction is f-ed up.
Its the OG devs afterall & not some totally different studio taking over. Maybe they wanted for the OG trilogy as well & couldn't?
I understand your enthusiasm regarding the franch...
dayyuum Callisto?
take away his^ drums
nah ... multiple internal projects got cancelled after AK, which led to sucide squad getting green lit later
edit : unless you're making some joke, then i missed it
One of my most anticipated AA game of this year
yea, I was dissapointed too but will still look forward to it ... this new studio is trying to do something different, so lets see ... and dedicated extraction shooters are still going strong with Hunt Showdown and Tarkov ... and Marathon will join as well.
yep ... hope they continue making both the series alternating between the two
Releasing two AAA sandbox open world game close to one another? Especially GTA VI?
Its quiet similar to what EA did with Titanfall 2 and BF:1 ... BF:1 ate into Titanfall 2 sales.
No way its a sane business decision ... Mafia will always be at a disadvantage unless it releases at least 6~8 months prior.
know what? Furious 4, although looked weird at the time, seems kinda 'fun' now retrospectively
anyways they later removed BiA from F4's title, making it a separate thing.
But yea, an gritty, emotional BiA 4 in UE5 would be great.
Finals is still better than many other shooters and atleast this new studio is experimenting unlike other AAA studios
yep ... like for AC ... Ubi can alternate between OG AC style games (for older AC fans) & later RPG style AC games (for newer AC fans)
Same for BGS, i.e Bethesda can make the grand main entry and then give Obsidian the chance to make the tighter spin-off based on the main entry.
This was actually adopted by FarCry team ... with Blood Dragon following FC3, Primal following FC4 ... but they stopped after FC6
