I wonder how this will sell?

Do you think it will flop in terms of sales? Or will it sell well, and maybe even be the best selling Vita game?

 

[grimshawish]

well maybe you is the one who is missing the point,looks like you really want this game to be a disaster

What? I took issue with 'for a portable' bollocks. It is bollocks. There is no 'for' about it, there are handheld games that look great and ones that don't. Simple as that, being a handheld shouldn't mean lower quality in any respect.

Best selling Vita game. Had plenty of ads on UK TV, at least.

 

[chickdigger802]

Too bad it's only playable on a smartphone/tablet. I love my iPhone, but touch controls just don't work for FPS games.

True. but that doesn't seem to bother most people. And I've seen some high level fps play on ios on youtube .

 

[f@luS]

I just bought it. 45e. But I can't play my ps3 anymore I hate to play on tv I just like handheld. I hope I will enjoy it. Some DM/Tdm here and there is all I ask

 

[tusken77]

Not mine.

Plenty of people from Spain have the game already.

played the game today looks very nice for a portable game

Definitely looks nice in those screenshots.

 

[AndrewDean84xX]

The first screenshot looks great.

The textures look bad, but the photo/art work background looks nice though.

more pictures/impressions.. less talking about a game you haven´t played yet.. please..

There is quite a bit of youtube footage throughout this thread. IMO it looks decent enough but $50 decent? Well I don't know about that.

 

[AndrewDean84xX]

It's a message board.

 

[MDSLKTR]

Whats that even from and I think you are really really missing the point.

Just ugh all round

Please enlighten me. I bet you didn't even bother watching the vids and impressions posted in the 5 pages before but just came here to defend some joker poster and to quote some off screen pics. The game is nice, plays nice and is the definitive cod experience on the go. Simple as that.

 

[Iacobellis]

Not really a COD player. But wasn't 'Tags' or something quite important? Have not seen any of those pop up during the vids.

Do you mean clan tags?

 

[Massa]

unit 13 which was probably made in a few months and was a launch window game looked nicer than this

Looks about the same to me.

Why can't you accept people out there think it looks fine?

I have a pc that can give amazing visuals but that doesn't stop me thinking this looks fine.

To me graphics hit a point a while back that are good enough to immerse you in there world. Better graphics are still better but that doesn't mean stuff like this automatically looks crap. No CoD games look that great but they do look good enough.

Decent frame rate and low lag is what this needs to be good for me. Those were resistances issues and it would appear they have been fixed.

I'm pretty sure your average gamer will be fine with these visuals. As long as the game resembles the CoD gameplay they know (and most people play nothing but TDM) then it can possible do pretty well.

If you don't like the way it looks then fine but there is nothing wrong with other people thinking it looks nice. Notice no one said amazing... Just nice.

 

[Ran rp]

Grabbed some shots of similar looking areas from the Unit 13 OT.

 

[test_account]

Are you not seeing the same images as me?

Game barely has any content as it is, funky textures should be unacceptable.

Looks good to me. But as usual, games usually looks better in motion.

Deary dear. And I thought the E3 console videos were fugly :/
Not going to blame Nihilistic mind you - not that it matters now.

Besides the car that sticks a bit out, i think these screenshots looks much better than what we saw in the first trailer.

Certainly. You can tell Europe rushed that out - am still not 100% sure if that was a mistake or not but they are trying.
But on the car looking bad, its the only thing of any real consequence in those shots. So am not sure that can be 100% side stepped.

The game just generally sounds horrible to me; the visuals just are a cheap highlight of its issues.

Why can't you accept people out there think it looks fine?

Again. This. Is. Not. The. Point.

"for a portable game" is a horrible critique. Thats my point.

 

[not_so_special]

these screens are from the online portion not single player (cod)

Is this why we can't take screenshots?

 

[bobbytkc]

Lol. It bothers most people. They just live with it.

 

[VanWinkle]

i took a picture of Resistance Burning Skies to try to mimic how that picture was took. Here's a comparison.

My camera could be better than the one that took the CoD picture, though, which could make Resistance look a little sharper.

 

[OldJadedGamer]

So the press doesn't have copies and it comes out tomorrow?

 

[Ricker]

The quoted screenshot look a lot better hehe...I am disappointed that single player is like 2 hours long? as that been confirmed...? believe it or not I am more into the COD games for the single player,so I usually just rent them but no stores rent Vita games around here.I would of picked this up if the SP was at least like the console SP in length but I wont pay 49 bucks if its 2 hours long...

 

[Ran rp]

Is this why we can't take screenshots?

CoD doesn't allow screenshots? Maybe. To be fair though, the Vita screenshot feature adds some nasty compression. Games usually don't look as bad as the screenshots suggest.

That's true, but even after the fact Unit 13 still looks sharper and more detailed.

With SP being so short I can see why Activision decided to hold review copies back till after release date.

Oops, i didnt see at first that you ment the E3 Black Ops 2 videos, sorry. Declassified wasnt shown before at Gamescom.

How do you mean with "the only thing of any real consequence in those shots"?

 

[Ran rp]

That's true, but even after the fact Unit 13 still looks sharper and more detailed.

Also true, but the blurriness of the CoD shots may just be the camera. VanWinkle's Resistance shot is much sharper and CoD's supposed to be more polished than that.

 

[grimshawish]

How do you mean with "the only thing of any real consequence in those shots"?

Just my lazy wording
Its the only thing in focus really, and instantly noticeable. It might 'just' be the car but based on those shots its kind of hard to miss it out. Plus nothing else looks very sharp, all a bit bland.

 

[Tiamant]

So the press doesn't have copies and it comes out tomorrow?

Welcome to vita reviews.

Also what a turnaround, last time I came to a Declassified thread things looked really grim, now... it's not that bad!

Great sign of confidence...

Ah, like that, i understand what you mean. English isnt my first language, so i wasnt sure what "real consequence" ment

Yeah, the look of the car is very noticeable in that screenshot, but overall i think the game will look fine In the 1st screenshot, i noticed the good details (relatively speaking) on the weapon and the factory in the background.

It is just gaf over reaction. If it is not the best, it is automatically the worst. Best to just ignore it.

 

[Kazerei]

Well, I'm going to the midnight launch in about 6.25 hours. Then I'll play for awhile and post some impressions. Should be an interesting night

 

[sajj316]

Should get mine tomorrow. I'll post as well including better cam shots

 

[chickdigger802]

Also true, but the blurriness of the CoD shots may just be the camera. VanWinkle's Resistance shot is much sharper and CoD's supposed to be more polished than that.

which is why people calling a funky off screen camera shot 'good looking' is complete nonsense. The game could actually look like a ps2 game for all we know, or it could look like the best console game out there, no one can realistically tell.

 

[Iacobellis]

I'll keep my promise and take screenshots, but video might be an issue. I want to whip out the DSLR for everyone, but it doesn't seem like I could get a good angle without a tripod.

I wish I had a DSLR .. Do your best.

Thanks. I will guarantee sharp shots, then we can put this debate to rest.

PSN is sajj316, prepare to die

 

[VanWinkle]

I think the picture I took of Resistance is a very good representation of how the game looks and that was with a DSLR. Just try to get some good shots of it and it should give a better look at the graphics than a video would.

 

[CoachKevin]

Amazing insight from Ben Kuchera on Twitter...

So no reviewers were sent the Vita Call of Duty? I'm really starting to question how much longer Sony can justify that system's existence.

 

[chickdigger802]

We just comparing shooters now?

nova 3

modern combat 4

What other 2012 portable fps are there?

Amazing insight from Ben Kuchera on Twitter...

wait, so there are no review copies at all?

 

[AranhaHunter]

I was holding out hope for this as a savior for the vita.. I'm officially done with it and moving to the 3DS which actually has games... Anyone looking for a mint adult owned vita with 16gb card, case and stand make me a reasonable good offer and it's yours!

I'll pay for shipping and handling and a game of your choice.

 

[Massa]

Oh there, I was wondering when chickdigger was gonna post about his favorite iOS games.

 

[sajj316]

Amazing insight from Ben Kuchera on Twitter...

Interesting indeed, didn't know it was Sony's job to send him copies

 

[Carl]

Amazing insight from Ben Kuchera on Twitter...

Lol, idiot.

 

[chickdigger802]

id post other vita shooters, but they are covered already.

Are there any fps on 3ds?

It wouldn't be worth posting if there were any.
