The reason they blame next gen is because they thought people would be surprised by the Call of Duty graphics on PS4/Xbox One. I mean really Ghosts on next gen consoles looks like a standard PS3/Xbox 360 game. It's getting shit on by games like Forza and Killzone.

That's probably because it is. There is a reason this game is an off name release. It is merely to cash in on the yearly cod trend with little to no additional efforts. The mainline MW4 or black ops 3 will be the first cod game from them with an actual next gen engine. 

Nope.



Sounds good, activision.



But I thought the Xbox360/PS3 would be the one hindering next gen consoles not the other way around hmmm forum posters lied to me again :(



Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.

Nah. It's because the franchise is done.

Like Guitar Hero, they pushed it too far. Black Ops 2 was already a big decline from Modern Warfare 3, Ghosts will only follow the trend that has been set.

What's gonna be hilarious is when sales of CoD: Ghosts, BF4, Destiny and Titanfall are all evenly split across the platforms they're on (X360/One/PS3/PS4/PC/Wii U), and all competing for the same users, so that each platform/title combo gets like 200k sales and bombs hard, but if it was one shooter on no more than two platforms it'd be a success.



OR people finally understand buying their games one year out of two save 70 bucks and don't make the slightest difference.



When the newest feature you can boast about is a dog, fish A.I and more of the same...

I personally think, its the slow transistion to next gen that's slowing down pre-orders. Too many choices. 

 

But god I would....be happy (even though its wrong to wish a game to fail in my eyes) to see this franchise bomb so the FPS genre can slowly go the F**K AWAY!!!



Don’t follow the hype, follow the games

Here a little quote I want for those to keep memorize in your head for this coming next gen.

It's not next gens thought, it's the fact COD has been reskinned continuously since COD 4. What do they expect? But the problem is that it will still sell millions of copies anyway



Xbox Series, PS5 and Switch (+ Many Retro Consoles)
