Why would you buy the ps3 version?

So we have to pay for Zombies now? How is this exciting to everyone?
I counted 16 in a stream earlier, I saw no spaces, but you're right, there could of been 2 slots left.
Isnt this a new engine? Why would the MP take such a hit visually? I know SP usually looks better but not by that big of a margin
Hmm a negative for overpowered weapons? That's fine since that's something that can and will be fixed constantly.

Man, Videogamer just don't give a fuck about embargoes anymore do they? They must be hurting for views or something.

It's currently making it's rounds on Twitter and it has to be posted. What a hilarious screenshot of AW:
I don't know... David Cage makes entire games that consist only of this type of "gameplay" and people go for it so...

Pretty big, but framerate on X1 at least is solid.
Get the PS4 version with it, and the digital PS3 version is cheaper than the PS4 version (in some regions), I think.
As explained they bought it themselves because they would not get a copy from Activision until tomorrow. It's totally fair, they didn't sign a NDA.

LOL I don't give a fuck about k/d, never have, never will. Communicating doesn't even matter in this series. You die so fast that you can't really plan for anything. This isnt Gears horde mode. And yes randoms tend to mostly be 12 year olds just waiting to insult you.
They weren't under an embargo, thus they don't have to abide by it.

Well review embargoes are bullshit anyway. Good on them for ignoring it.

it just seems a little useless to make people press a button in that type of sequence. Why not just make the character do it themselves, unless there are branching paths and by not paying respects you become a different kind of character.
In Europe? Quite easily. I got CODs in the past 4-5 days early. Maybe they also have some retail hookup which makes it even easier.

New engine, but no one knows why there's a graphic disparity between SP and MP. What's super disappointing is the amazing HUD from SP is not in MP.
If I had to guess, the new engine is for SP only and MP is using the same old engine CoD has been using since the original release.

It's way more prevalent on Xbox live. I have yet to be insulted by anyone in my 8+ years of playstation online gaming.

Oh, I completely agree. It's just funny that between The Evil Within, Sunset Overdrive, and now this, it's obvious they just don't care. It would be really cool if I actually respected their website and opinions but I don't, not by a fucking mile.

When I was in retail, we'd often get copies of big games like Call of Duty a week or so in advance. If they've got a retail-based source willing to give them a copy under the counter, then it's reviews-away.
Probably bought it from an indie shop which usually sells early or something. Nowhere near as shady as a review from a strict review event in a closed, controlled environment.
Sounds good to me. I just feel sorry for all the review outlets compelled to play by the rules and honor the embargo.

Yeah, reading their review and seeing them say BO2's campaign was terrible I can't respect their opinion. This article is actually the first time I've visited their site, so maybe its just the one reviewer.

They bought their own copy, therefore no embargo.

Netcode is pretty solid by the looks of it. Game looks beautiful a lot more color then ghosts also loving the sound and traversal.
Get these best value and download the companion app in the playstation store. There around 90 euro's so 80/90 dollars
Works with PS3/4 and Vita.
I was hoping there would be a special COD preset for this game :/

Fuck, the timer was done but game locked itself then changed to a stupid 8hr timer. Fucking trolls
If Activision didn't seemingly try to snub small outfits like Videogamer by passing them off with release-day copies, it wouldn't happen. They didn't have to invite them to the big event but they could have at least sent out a copy of the game to be ready for review on launch day, rather than be ready for Tuesday/Wednesday when everyone's already gone out to buy it.

They have done that a couple of times of late, publishers not liking their output ? The editor comes across as a bit of a snarky twat on Twitter imo.

Ok so usually COD comes out the first Tuesday of November, but now it's out tonight at 9? Sorry, I haven't been following too closely this time around.

there's already a full-blown co-op mode in the game. zombies is most likely just an extension of that survival mode. never really cared for the co-op modes...but i guess it sucks for those who do?
anyhow...i'm more annoyed that gorge requires you to buy the season pass instead of just including it with all day-0 purchases like they did in previous years with nuketown 2020 or freefall
there is a "day-0" pre-order version that releases a day early. not sure if you can just walk into a store and pick it up? also digital might still be available for pre-order.
you either the luckiest man on earth, or you don't play that much multiplayer games ¯\_(ツ
_/¯ either way that is cool.Game seems solid, thou I don't like the writing style of that website, not a bit.
Did he just imply that MW3 is better than BO2? Whaaaaaat? Get outta here.
Did they give your favourite game a bad review or something?

That's still some shaky ethics if they're buying games they shouldn't be before release date and putting reviews up as quick as possible to get views. Just because they can doesn't mean they should.

This is 1080/60 on PS4 right?
No, I get that, the bad guy here is definitely Activision for trying to control the message so tightly. But Videogamer still wins because they get their review out first and a shit ton of hits, the review still has a decent score bolted on so Activision won't mind too much, so the only people who're diminished by this are the reviewers who are obligated to honor the embargo. They played by the rules and came in second.
Not saying it's Videogamer's fault, though. They did what anyone would do.

And does it skip frames from going over 60 again? Or conversely does it drop frames? Do we have to wait for the fucking embargo to be up to get Digital Foundry stuff?

Hahahaha awesome OT title.
Not really interested in this game after Ghosts but hopefully it turns out well.
