/v/ - Video Games

what's with all the fucking remasters?

>>14523395

Easy money, broseph

>>14523385

but then what's the point? everyone plays this game only for the multiplayer

Why are these fuckers so retarded?

How to make fat stacks:

>Announce MW2 Remaster

>Remaster the SP and MP

>Add some small new shit to the SP such as a playable version of Operation Kingfish

>Multiplayer is exactly like the original with all DLC

>Release it in a working state

>Sell it for $20

>>14523419

You're missing the point. Modern COD games sold themselves on multiplayer, it's the most retarded decision ever to remake them without multiplayer.

nuCoD is shit anyway, so who cares?

Do normalfags still care about CoD?

Well I don't see a problem since Modern Warfare 2 is where Call of Duty multiplayer went to complete shit.

Not sure if this is more or less insulting than an MW2 remaster without nerfed noob tubes.

>>14523395

The video game industry is absolutely starved of creativity. They need to make something but no one is thinking of anything new to create.

>>14523434

Not the Single Player content, at any rate.

>>14523427

It's likely due to the failure of MW1 Remastered, which fucked itself by being excessively Jewish while all anyone wanted is a shiny MW1 with all of the stuff the game originally had.

If they actually did that, I'd imagine it'd be a best seller by now.

>>14523419

Imagine the fat stacks of cash Activision could make if they would sell something for less than $70 for once.

Has there ever been such a stupid decision made in gaming? You might as well package shit and call it the next Call of Duty at this point. I thought they would've learned their lesson from the last remaster blunder.

>>14523426

Sage for off-topic. Is The Cat in the Hat a good movie? I haven't seen it since I was a kid, but I feel like a lot of the jokes went over my head.

But who even played it for the single player? Are they stupid?

>>14523458

I thought that movie was something like 4 years old until I read your post and checked.

It's just fucking weird. I'd only recommend it for nostalgia or in combination with some drug.

>>14523443

I haven't paid attention to CoD, what went wrong with the CoD4 remaster?

>>14523487

They added lootboxes.

>>14523489

Was it just cosmetic?

>>14523490

Nope, it had new weapons too, though activision claimed it was only cosmetics.

>>14523492

I didn't play 2 but didn't it still have Cpt. Price who was pretty consistently entertaining?

>>14523506

i haven't played though most cods, just the first one on PC, PS2's port of 2 and MW2 and Price isn't really in the game much, you spend a ton of time switching between 3 different random "characters" in 3 completely different locations.

>>14523506

He's in all the MW games.

>>14523492

I'll never be able to fathom why people were fawning over this character even before release. Was the edgy skull mask really all that did it? There must have been some astroturf marketing going on that no one caught since we were just entering a new decade of major companies learning how to shill online.

>>14523500

>>14523497

Holy fuck, Activision deserves what comes to them. I'd be willing to buy a discount MW2 remastered because CoD was a guilty pleasure of mine in 2010, but not with that track record. The old versions are literally better than the remasters.

>>14523599

Yeah, the source is Charlie Intel. I don

>>14523657

't know them.

Activision knows the CoD fan base just wants a version of MW2 MP without all the cheaters. They would eat it up, lootboxes and all, while ignoring Black Ops 4 entirely. Its the one thing they keep asking for and get denied because Activision cannot even deliver a followup that CoD fans want.

wait what

what's the point then?

>>14523671

I'm assuming the rumor is wrong because not even an executive with no understanding of the industry could be this stupid. Any teenage boy's parents would know that CoD is for multiplayer, and the people running a company don't know that? It has to be wrong.

>>14523385

Braindead normalfags will buy it anyways so why should they give a fuck?

>>14523686

>sequel isn't original

No shit. I'm not exactly sure how MW2 is more cancerous than CoD4, if either was really cancerous at all. (I don't consider a game cancerous just because it's of low quality) I'd blame the rest of the industry for copying them. CoD wasn't trying to ruin the rest of the FPS's, they just made their game and then other companies killed FPS in their desperation for CoD bucks.

>>14523681

>not even an executive with no understanding of the industry could be this stupid

I don't really believe this, but dumber shit has happened before.

>>14523419

>Multiplayer is exactly like the original with all DLC

>Release it in a working state

>Sell it for $20

>people stop buying the new games

>>14523385

I find this somewhat difficult to believe

>>14523385

>Yes you heard that right. Activision is going to sell a half baked remaster that doesn't even include the multiplayer components

Fuck off you retarded Redditor cunt

I don't give a fuck about CoD, but not even 2 years ago we were calling out game companies for putting too much emphasis on muh multiplayer at the expense of single player. This is a brave fucking move on them in this case in the land of e-sports faggotry

>>14523848

Pretty sure it's laziness, not bravery. Also a bad business decision. This is a remaster of a game that sold for its multiplayer, not a new single player IP. Not bravery, laziness.

>>14523848

>This is a brave fucking move

It's a retarded fucking move. Most people who play CoD play it for the multiplayer. Even if a company's product is shit, why would we approve of them making it even more shit by removing its primary selling point? It makes sense to disapprove of that. A remaster isn't going to affect industry-wide focus on singleplayer vs. multiplayer.

If it's real and sells poorly, it's a bad thing that will do good in the long run, because it'll hurt them financially. If it's real and sells well, it's a bad thing that will become a worse thing, because it'll set a precedent of being able to sell even worse, lazier, remasters and possibly holding core features hostage.

>>14523906

CoD remasters selling is always a bad thing since they take normal games and shove them into a p2w model.

>>14523405

The coop mode was decent though.

>>14523442

Why its still being made though? I wouldn't invest so much in what essentially is trailer fodder. The SP in MW2 was alright though, shit stains notwithstanding.

>>14523930

>Why its still being made though?

You could ask that of any recent CoD and, well, i don't really have an answer for you. They've apparently been trying way too hard to make people play, or at the very least complete the fucking single player content for a long time now for god knows what reason. Like, apparently one of the CoD BLOPS just unlocks all the levels so you can play through them in any order.

Yeah MW2's singleplayer is okay. It's the video game equivalent of a mindless action flick, nothing praiseworthy, but it's great if you got a few hours to kill.

>>14523385

>No Multiplayer

So, they fixed it? Might actually be worth a pirate now.

>>14523930

honestly cod gunplay is just trash, just fight hordes of human/subhuman dudes with very generic guns that have minimal recoil in either a very generic desert shithole or a very generic russian shithole

it's not even remotely a simulator and doesn't have fun unrealistic mechanics so why go with the boring setting that limits you to human enemies and that's it? it has no real reason to exist, no niche aside from children that have since grown up

>>14524013

it's a rumor with as much credibility as cnn bruh

>>14524106

The game was trash thanks solely to the riot shield.

>>14524158

nobody even used the riot shield, everybody used the ump/grenade launcher/bolt action/akimbo lever action shotguns exclusively

>>14523395

Jews can't create good things on their own, the huwite male slaves that used to do that job have been replaced by soycucks and independent womyn so the kikes are resorting to the next best step under the circumstances.

If things keep going like this western AAA is bound to crash, they can't keep feeding off nostalgia foreverunlike nintendo

>>14524167

I used the riot shield.

>>14524167

I had 3 friends i used to play with, and we would all use riot shields, and take strategic spots, and have each other's back with one person usually in the middle with their gun drawn, which is not complicated, but people online would call us cheaters for using any sort of tactics. This game's multiplayer community was trash

>>14524208

I've never played the game, but wouldn't that just make you a prime target for a well placed/cooked grenade?

*nostalgiafags*

Modded rust for days TBH. I remember all the xbox modders selling golden deagle as well kek.

>>14524214

this post here explains it

>>14524241

the whole game was filled with obnoxious twelve year olds that run and gun, and sadly the game is designed for that, so they tend to get the highest score. The game is trash, all around

>raven software

ah yes, developers of such classics like F3AR that totally didn't torpedo a franchise into the ground

why are these faggots even still around after that shitshow?

>>14524253

t. casual

MW2 was FPS kino.

>>14524167

>everybody used the ump/grenade launcher/bolt action/akimbo lever action shotguns exclusively

>everybody

>exclusively

Yeah, they were popular weapons, but they were not what everyone used, not by a long shot. You haven't even listed the full meta, which was mostly assault rifles. Don't make shit up.

>>14524208

MW2 was the game where I constantly got accused of hacking. It was glorious.

>>14524241

Can you please stop with the bullshit? There are only a couple maps where a thrown grenade can even reach the other spawn.

>>14524253

People who run around aimlessly get the shit kicked out of them.

>>14524214

And yes, grenades were what made riot shields mostly a novelty. But if you didn't happen to have any grenades when you met a riot shielder, you would have a problem.

>>14524258

They didn't make F3AR. They made good games until mid 2000's and have done nothing but Call of Duty maps for almost a decade thanks to Activision.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Raven_Software_games

>>14524167

The execution of the riot shield was fucking ridiculous.

>spotted

>dude fires an RPG

>just raise shield brush off an RPG no prob

At the very least make it vulnerable to explosions.

>>14523458

I am almost certain it was a bad movie, but not offensively shitty. It has plenty of good scenes for posting on imageboards as webms, reaction images, or just because you can.

I'm not going to stop you spending two hours of your life rewatching it, though. Watching a bad movie is far less time consuming than a bad book or bad video game, so I don't consider it a waste of time unless its insultingly bad. As long as you don't spend any money on it, of course.

to be fair, the multiplayer in mw2 was terrible and poorly balanced

honestly a call of duty game remaster with no multiplayer doesn't sound so bad

>>14523395

Easy money to made on existing games, of which the originals aren't compatible with the latest systems due to lack of backwards compatibility? In some cases it feels really fucking egregious, like The Last of Us seeing a PS4 remaster like only a year after originally coming out for the PS3.

>>14523405

>>14523419

You do know that if there was a multiplayer then it would be riddled with micro-transactions and supply drops, right?

HOLY FUCK!

HOW CAN YOU FUCK UP THIS BADLY?

It's the one thing this piece of shit franchise is known for.

>>14524167

>forgetting about the literal lazer gun that was the acr

>>14523385

damn, now if i need a retarded fix of killstreaks, sprinting and hipfiring i'll need to play black ops, black ops 2, ghosts, advanced warfare, black ops 3, infinite warfare or ww2 we wuz nazis edition

>>14524167

Don't forget the broken three round burst guns.

>>14529676

apart from the m9, the f2000 and the miniuzi

>>14523395

They're safe bet for making cash.

>>14529697

The M9 was a monster, especially with extended mags. You could kill the whole team without reloading. Higher fire rate than the USP and less recoil IIRC.

>>14523489

>>14523487

>>14523500

I thought it was the remaster being incomplete alongside having to buy Infinite Warfare.

>>14523395

Same reason we've had a decade and a half of reboots from Hollywood.

It's easy.

>>14523385

but weren't the CoD games multiplayer only?

i never played them myself, i just asume they were becuase of the marketing campaign and the only thing CoD player semmed to care about

>>14523419

You're not thinking jewish enough.

>Sell Singleplayer remaster for $25

>Sell multiplayer remaster as a seperate client for $20

>Have quick level boost microtransactions "for the older fans who've done it before"

>New weapon skin-I mean camos you can get from lootbox rolling.

That's what will actually get you fat stacks.

>>14523385

>no multiplayer component

that's pants on head retarded because the multiplayer is practically the only reason anyone would have given a shit about this in the first place. bravo konami.

this is really sad to me. i have an enormous amount of nostalgia for MW2. I would have played the fuck out of it yet again, put 2000 hours in.

oh well. they would have ruined it somehow anyway either way.

>there are people who still haven't played Starsiege:Tribes

That's why I hate COD

>>14523395

Consolefags.

You know how I remaster a game? I run it on a better computer. After getting a 1080 I've been having a blast with 4K DSR and reshade.

Hell, you can fuck with dx8 games with reshade now, and its especially useful to unfuck things like far cry 2's brown and bloom.

>>14523723

Came here to post this.

>>14531507

they'll sell it as dlc with the headline 'by popular demand' and then charge for ammo

>>14531626

>You know how I remaster a game? I run it on a better computer. After getting a 1080 I've been having a blast with 4K DSR and reshade.

Or even just wait for modders to do it which is even better.

this like buying touched up special editions of Star Wars with all the unnecessary shit and tons of CGI

>all these normalfags coming out of the word work

What, has summer started early or is it just the 8/v/ Steam community?

>>14531643

You misunderstand…you do BOTH

>>14531659

>stop talking about video games I don't like

8chan is a chan built on free speech.

That's pretty stupid. The single player campaign is just an extra that you can finish in 10 hours. The meat of COD is multiplayer.

Reminds me of the order 1866.

>>14531659

Did you know you can make your own thread about games you like?

>>14531659

calling people normalfags on 8chan is like going to an AA meeting and calling people alcoholics. no shit.

this whole website is filled with people blogging about their 9-5, blogging about their wives, and blogging about their children–and conversely, bullying you if you don't also have these three things.

come to wizchan if you're tired of this.

it was actually the other way around with older CODs, they had great campaigns

after MW2 the multiplayer started to become more important, and games went to shit

last good cod are World at War and Black Ops

>>14531698

It used to not be the case.

>come to wizchan if you're tired of this.

Their vidya board over is absolute garbage, in addition to being dead, and for some reason not being nice when telling someone he has shit taste is enough to get your posts removed. /wiz/ is more or less fine though for random discussion.

>>14531659

I browsed image boards before MW2 came out. I liked the game but knew it couldn't be discussed.

It seems that no one gives enough of a shit to bother stamping it out anymore, so here we are. There are plenty of new games to get mad at anyways.

t. old normalfag

>>14531812

Remember when /v/ worried about people supporting bad games?

Now the worry is that people will support gambling DLC that doesn't guarantee any new content for overpriced remasters that don't actually improve the game.

>>14533192

both of them are shitty memes to be honest.

>>14531635

They'll pull that bullshit and we all know it.

>>14533195

>Now the worry is that people will support gambling DLC that doesn't guarantee any new content for overpriced remasters that don't actually improve the game.

So what's the next step of their master plan?

>>14536039

They're about as close to trading money in exchange for absolutely nothing as they can get. The next step is to make the game subscription-based, I guess.

>>14536039

Selling Special ops as "episodes" which are really just the separate mission difficulty tiers

>>14529774

Woah anon don't say that word or else I'll have to report you

>>14536896

>>14536893

Both of these are terrifying teebeeach.

>we already went from making every single game multiplayer to removing multiplayer from MP-focused games

So is there an insurance scam for shit AA video games like there is with shitty Hollywood movies?

The only three weapons I maxed out were the FAL, riot shield, and the ASP.

Riot shield was prime salt mining.

>>14539626

Some of their devs are anti-NRA cucks now. So I can see this happening.

I don't think anyone would give a shit about MW2 remaster anyway. The first MW was actually good in its time and I could see how people would be nostalgic for it. The campaign was appreciated equally as much as the multi. Everything after that was just more samey hollywood shit that people bought for the multiplayer, not because they liked the campaign.

It's almost as if filling the corporate ranks with Lowest Common Denominator double-plus good-speakers has created a talent/creativity void in the entertainment industries.

I wonder who could possibly benefit from that type of environment; where erasing all of a culture's values and replacing them with completely incompatible values is what turns the highest profit.

You think one (((specific))) subhuman culture could do that?

>>14555610

Im not sure you remember but that reveal is so serious that 2 characters normalfags jack off over died as a result of finding out that makarov and Shepard planned the airport attack.

>>14555636

Oh wait, now I know what you're talking about. I thought that was just Shepard going rogue because most of the enemies you fight are shadow op U.S. soldiers from that point on. And wasn't there that huge battle at a plane graveyard or something between Shepard's forces and Makorov's forces? I didn't give enough of a shit about the campaign to pay really care about the details. The last Call of Duty I cared about was World at War because that one at least tried to keep a coherent narrative. And because they went the extra mile to create a PS2 version, which in my opinion has the superior story

>>14542650

>Some of their devs are anti-NRA cucks

Supporting the NRA makes you a cuck, anon. You mean the nogunz crowd.

>>14555880

The NRA, like them or not, are the biggest pro-gun lobby around.

That's a shame. MW2 had some enjoyable multiplayer with friends. Spec Ops was pretty neat, too.

I wouldn't buy this anyway, but it's still too bad that they're this out of touch with what players like.

>>14559201

Better than nothing.

Does anyone remember a video of some guy ( I think he was a """competitive""" CoD player) talking about how MW2's multiplayer was worse than MW's because of the map design? It was like 10-20 minutes long and was basically nothing more than the guy talking over gameplay footage. I saw it once years ago and the fact that I've been unable to find it since has bugged the shit out of me because it was actually a pretty interesting video about map design.

>>14562201

MW2 maps were better, less possibility of spawn trap. MW maps were notoriously bad in that regard, even worse many maps were asymmetrical and spawn trappy so one team was raped in the match by default.

I witnessed the entire start of /r9k/ devolving from a board that was mainly about original content and getting autobanned for having a repeated post, to being flooded like a social experiment, about relationship issues or girl problems.

I even remember a thread with an anon pointing out the flood of relationshit threads was artificial, but no one figured who or why would want to flood a board with depressive posts.

I might buy this if this has no MP to be honest.
