Those are quite the sacrifices. Last Deus Ex and Tomb Raider games were great. Would love 1 more Deus Ex game.
Hope this pays off for Square Enix. Or they're gonna have some pissed off fans. |

I didn't bother, but I hear good things.
Also, that boost mode makes Until Dawn, Bloodborne and AC Unity run much better. Rainbow Six Siege is going to need a frame rate limit, it's hitting 110fps in some places. |

Ps4 finally getting external hard drive support built in. My only complaint I've had with the PS4 given I could only keep like 7 games on the thing at once and it seemed stupid they didn't have it supported day 1.

I just installed a 2tb HDD into the PS4 when I got it...it's not terribly hard to do, but certainly isnt as easy or convenient as just plugging in an external. Pretty shocked they took this long to enable it via update tbh.

Man, they can spin that show in many ways. Richter, Simon, Alucard, Hector, Gabriel, etc.
Any main character from the series could work as the main hero. |

I think honestly it has more to do with them probably rewriting the scenario to reflect current events. Matt and Trey are very anal about south park in that sense and they probably started reworking bits just based off of the election just like with the show.

Activision thinks the setting was CoD's problem.
When they see people laugh at a WW2 or 1 CoD, after Battlefield 1, they'll see the folly of their ways. They need a year (maybe two!) off, both IW and Treyarch, to completely reevaluate how CoD should go forward as a game series. Top down. There's a strong chance the industry itself outgrew the franchise. |

It is a shame as it's the best CoD single player campaign in years. But if you want a single player FPS, Titanfall 2 was even better.
That said, it was still the best selling game of last year even with the drop. |

Yes but its a port of the last game (and missing a couple of features).
Rumor going around the net is Activision has quietly canceled the series at least in regards to console games. They've been teasing at the brand's future being in doubt ever since SuperChargers. |
