"When it comes to the marketing side of things, box art has played almost as big a part of game sales as the design and programming of the titles themselves. In the early days of the industry, it wasn't uncommon for games to have imagery that conveyed completely unrealistic ideas of what the gameplay was actually like."
The Call of Duty video game series has changed the way people think about the entertainment business. Avatar made $232 million globally in its first five days of release. Call Of Duty: Black Ops made $650 million. An infographic on GNVR gives us an visual look full of details showing us just how big the Call of Duty video game franchise really is.
GamePodunk editor MarshallHenderson reports with such problem as login and other unexpected issues arising for Call of Duty Elite, there has been a setback in release of Call of Duty Elite. Read on for more details and the expected release date.
"There’s something about certain games that naturally draw me in. This is considerably easier with any sort of RPG that involves decisions and progression that allow you to influence not only your character, but the actual game itself. I’ve spent so much time with these games because I’m able to make the character my own, affect the environment, and play the game almost exactly how I want to play it."
"Gamers are finding it exceedingly difficult to invest in multiple games throughout the year due to financial constraints. As a result of that, gamers are directing their spending power to a limited number of games, or rather franchises."
"COD is a bit of a fishy beast. In theory, a game that remains the same year in, year out with only minimal upgrades and some new levels shouldn’t do well. It should probably be instead a fond memory, drifting in the breeze and whispered only in passing by those who still recall the good times they had with the product. The exact same thing recently happened with Guitar Hero; after years of stagnant gameplay that did absolutely nothing to innovate, the franchise itself has been put indefinitel..."
As soon as the Guitar Hero franchise was put to rest last week, many gamers were afraid that eventually the same situation will occur for Call of Duty. Check out the full article to find out why that may not be the case. Cheers!
"I thought this appropriate after hearing the release numbers for the latest game in the series (Black Ops). Hearing that it had the biggest release day, beating Modern Warfare 2, and also had the most money spent on it for development, I expected…more."
Black Ops and World at War brought a new aspect to Call of Duty with the Zombies mode, now that this has become extremely popular and Activision has brought its intentions to the surface, what will happen next? Will the rumors come true and a sci-fi style COD come to light?
CoD: Black Ops might be about to hit the market, but game companies are always thinking ahead. TK-Nation's Andrew Ting digs for clues at what might be next for the Call of Duty series - and it's looking an awful lot like space to me!
Activision has confirmed that there will be a new Call of Duty game coming out before the end of this year in their latest quarterly financial briefing.
If you managed to get your hands on a special edition of Modern Warfare 2, you would have had access to the soon to be released Xbox Live Arcade game, Call of Duty Classic. Essentially an updated port of the original Call of Duty game, how does it fare against Xbox Live Arcade titles? Read on to find out.
"Modern Warfare 2 has been unleashed and has resulted in mass hysteria at retailers around the globe. Being Call of Duty, it’s only natural that such hype should be sustained by a brand name alone. But how long can Activision annually release the same series before their work reaches the predictability of other industry juggernauts such as Madden and Guitar Hero?"
"Activision has told CVG that there will be no multiplayer beta for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. The last Inifinity Ward developed Call of Duty, Modern Warfare, had a popular public beta released in advance of the game's sale date.
For those looking forward to the new multiplayer features in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, it looks like you'll have to wait until the game hits store shelves on November 10."
"“We don’t look much at Western RPGs,” said Kitase. “But, for instance, we really look at Call Of Duty and other Western FPSs in terms of how to immerse the player in the moment of the action and how to portray the right movements for the supporting characters in battles – those sorts of games do this really well, and it’s something we considered with FFXIII.”"
"In regards to subsequent titles after MW2, it appears that Treyarch’s next stab at the franchise may center on the Vietnam War with possible espionage missions based on The Cold War era, and I have previously suggested that Future Warfare would be received well, should it be the decided direction when the series inevitably shifts gears again.
But what about the Civil War? Would this be a viable course for the franchise at some point in the future?"
"The websites of both PEGI (a European game ratings board), and the ESRB have given ratings for the game and listed it as on Xbox Live Arcade and PSN. Obviously, that's not a total confirmation that the game will be coming, but unless the ESRB has started hiring drunken hobos to work on their website, the news seems fairly legit."
GameInformer, the popular magazine about all things gaming that has somewhere near three million subscribers, always has a different game on the cover each time. MTV wanted to see if there was a GI cover curse, so they looked back into the past and pulled out magazines from 2-3 years ago.
One game titled Superman Returns didn't so well, receiving 6/10's. That's nothing compared to Fear and Respect, which was at one point on a GI cover, but ended up being canceled!
All in all, the game...
"Plenty of people use non-expensive laptops and desktop pcs for simple school projects, music management, and web browsing. A lot of these people are also gamers, but don't buy games for their PCs because they think that their setup can't handle anything beyond Bejewled. Well they're wrong. I happen to be one of those gamers. I got my laptop last Christmas and ignorantly popped in the Orange Box and after the lengthy install, dove into Half-Life 2. It wasn't pretty. I thought my computer was g..."
In recent reports you may have read that Infinity Ward were possibly going to become the sole Call of Duty developers. Well Activision today have come out and rubbished these reports and said Treyarch are still going to be producing future Call of Duty games alternately whilst Infinity Ward make theres.
Singleplayer is awesome, sure multiplayer can be good but its that story driven action packed campaign that we hunger for. Here is a list of the top 10 FPS singleplayer games. While all these titles are available for PC many of them are or will be on consoles. System Shock 2, Doom and Deus Ex all make a appearance but which one will be top dog?
The list is as follows (in reverse order, even though the numbers are incremental):
- F.E.A.R
- Call of Duty 2
- System Shock 2
- Aliens vs Predator 2
- Far Cry
- Ca...
