Call of Duty: Ghosts is the best-selling next-gen game
Early adopters of next-gen consoles are typically on the lookout for something brand-new to play on their shiny new systems. So, what next-gen game did gamers buy for their PS4s and Xbox Ones? Call of Duty: Ghosts, of course.
Early adopters of next-gen consoles are typically on the lookout for something brand-new to play on their shiny new systems. So, what next-gen game did gamers buy for their PS4s and Xbox Ones? Call of Duty: Ghosts, of course.
Activision has announced that Ghosts is not only the most played game on both Sony and Microsoft's new machines, but also the top-selling game at retail for both platforms. Ghosts is apparently also the "most desired" video game according to GameStop PowerUp Rewards members.
"Around the globe, Call of Duty: Ghosts is leading the next generation. It's the #1 selling title at key retailers and it's also the most played game on Xbox One and PS4 globally," Activision Publishing CEO Eric Hirshberg said in the announcement. "As we've said before, we've got the best community of fans in the world, and we're thrilled they're coming with us to the next generation."
Unsurprisingly, the announcement focuses on Activision's ongoing partnership with Microsoft with the Call of Duty brand. "Xbox and Call of Duty together have formed a valued and lasting partnership on Xbox 360, and we know this is just the beginning. So we look forward to an exciting new future on Xbox One," Activision Publishing EVP Dave Stohl said. "As home to the largest and most engaged Call of Duty community, it is no surprise that the newest entry in the blockbuster franchise has quickly become the most played multiplayer game on both Xbox One and Xbox 360," Microsoft marketing VP Yusuf Mehdi added.
Neither party seems interested in mentioning "resolutiongate" caused by the PS4 version of the game running at a higher resolution than the Xbox One version.

Last level of ghosts and the space zlevel I'd pretty cool.
-
I liked the skyscraper level a lot too, but it was so short. Really all the levels are short.
-
Yah the space level was much cooler than I expected it to be, so was the scuba stuff too. The SP was basically precisely what I expected. I know people like to bitch about the length but I thought it was just about right, long enough to feel like a full game but didn't overstay its welcome either.
-
How does the shooting in the space level work? I've seen the commercial and they are shooting guys in space and not flying all over the place?
-
-
To the surprise of no one, the biggest yearly franchise on current gen systems is also the biggest franchise on next gen systems.
-
Don't folks buy what they think is fun?
-
Its not 'next gen' anymore so yah, stop calling it next gen.
-
crap...was hope they were staying on last gen....

Runs just fine for me. I don't get all crazy about FOV stuff and as such havent messed with it.
Note: I'm not saying the FOV is good, or that any of you are terrible people if you have issues with it. I just don't have an issue with it.-
CODG is less of a PC game than BF4 is. BF4 has an FOV slider and it supports Multiscreen monitors out of the box.

I liked CoD for the SP :( The MP was so shitty with running/jumping akimbo shit (with no accuracy penalty) I found myself stooping to their level and talking INSANE amounts of shit. then the aimbots came. sigh.
First CoD game I've skipped in a while. hearing the SP was shrunk down to something like battlefield would produce... it's just sad. they used to have some neat shit in the SP.-
You should play Black Ops 2. It is easily the best Multiplayer CoD I've played (note: I skipped MW and MW2).
Ghosts is fine, far superior to MW3, but I would say BO2 is a much better game all around, and unequivocally a better PC port.
The single player is really short and generic but it is still fun. Not worth buying the game for though.

-
When you fly a helicopter in BF4, multiscreen is awesome.
-
SP seems to be mainly a place for them to try and showcase the few neat little things that they've added.
All in all it is fairly worthless but you do see some pretty stuff from time to time.

Ok...way to reply with something that has almost nothing to do with what I said.
COD has primarily been a console game for years and years now. Battlefield has pretty much only had a PC focus. It should come as no shock at all that COD has less optiions than BF4 does.

I really don't get why so many people play this still, maybe to get angry? So many bad people playing on the console, I'll never understand it.
-
because multiplayer is fun?
because its a game I can jump into with any of my friends and instantly have fun with them?
what games do you like so that I can tell you I don't get why you like them?
i don't know of any cod games except maybe the very first ever that I actually played single player. id be happy paying slightly less even if they would deliver me an updated multiplayer every year without any of the single player. might even make them more money by not having to invest in the production of the single player experience as I am sure that I am not alone there.-

The dog is still pretty cool. Only gets used in the first... 1/3 or less of the game.
-
-
I haven't gotten there yet. I keep playing in 5 minute chunks.
-
Just finished the game. Yes, that part was pretty stupid. Thankfully it was short and fairly easy!

COD:Ghosts 2- dogs in space

Not saying it's the explanation, certainly not the only one, but I've been telling my "less into gaming" friends "no" when asked if they should buy BF4. I won't recommend something that crashes a month after release, several times a night.
Fucking hate the fact that the game is so much fun, because at this point I feel just as mistreated as a customer as I did when I bought fucking SimCity. -

Maybe Ozzie will play it again and realize how much he missed when he covered it on Weekend Confirmed. Yes the dog takes down a chopper and yes I cried *half a tear" when Riley got stabbed. If a game is able to develop a bit of emotional attachment even if it's more of the same and the cheesy cliffhanger moment, I'd say that's art. For those of us in internet starved regions, the various stages of the campaign are our defend/firefight and sniper scope game modes.

And when Riley got shot by a sniper and I carried him to the evac site.
