I think the game likely did over 2 million first week with digital. But I still thinks sales would be lower than prior games due to franchise fatigue. A lot of the bigger IPs are having lower sales (Fallout 4 should be an exception).
It would technically be up to EA; they own Criterion and the Burnout IP.
The games main plot issue is introducing new character that no one wanted and were unnecessary. Locke,Holly and Vale were barely fleshed out and their part of the story is silly. Sending 4 less experienced soldiers to capture the most dangerous person of all time, who is backed up by 3 spartans more skilled than any member of fire Osiris.
This title is deceptive; it should be 'top 5 games requested for backwards compatibility'.
I got people on my friend list that are already at level 30 !
They have been using the same engine since 2003.The call of duty engine is in fact a modified version of the very old quake 3 engine.
It happens with nearly every release .
Gears 3, Halo 4 both already emulated.
One thing I wish they could do (at least for 1st party games) is increase the games framerate. I recently played Perfect Dark Zero and it's obvious that even the 360 could have ran the game at 60fps (or more) with better coding.
Why is this game getting so many 9s with all it's issues? Bethesda shouldn't get a free pass.
Just play the shorter game first.
The main advantage of the PS4 GPU is the higher number of ROPs, which is why the PS4 can handle 1080p more easily.
Galahad should not be in the thumbnail, swap him out and replace him with a bloodborne hunter.
Sponging.....
The Forge maps are very aesthetically weak compared to the other maps. Orion looked terrible weak textures, lighting and architecture.
This gen also suffers the most from diminishing returns. The biggest difference I see between the XB1/PS4 and 360/PS3 is textures, lighting and particle effects. Core geometry and models don't have as stark of a difference. Simply increasing polygons doesn't make a big difference once you get to a certain count. Games near the tail end of the 8th gen life cycle will look a fair bit better than they do now.
I however don't expect a graphical difference comparable t...
The issue here is the game engine. The unity engine simply not that good. More demanding games on the XB1 have hit 900p and even 1080p due to better optimization.
The game is not a 10 for me and I've been playing Halo since Combat Evolve. I give the singe-player an 8.0 due to the cut-scenes, combat, levels and set pieces. The story and redundant boss fights brought down the campaign for me . They did nail the mp (which still needs some tweaking), I can see myself playing the game for months,so I personally rate it a 9.
They're likely just not very confident in their product.
What does Scalebound have to do with this article? Why is it in the tumbnail?
