Free at point of useWow, Activision almost gave the whole game away free with that Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 beta. To be honest, I’ve always felt Call Of Duty becoming free was the inevitable end game of the whole series. It may be hard to believe now but Call Of Duty used to be noted for having relatively few microtransactions compared to other online games.
This was back in the 2010s when value for money was a big selling point for the games and the formula hadn’t started to get old. Now though, the Call Of Duty name is not what it was and nobody talks about value anymore, just the fact that it’s the same old thing every year.
When that’s the majority opinion I think it will finally go free. I think it’ll actually fare pretty well against Fortnite and the like, because Call Of Duty is a good shooter, it’s just everything else around the game that’s slowly getting worse and worse every time.Keister
Fan serviceI have a friend that’s really into Kingdom Hearts and I have to say I do not get it. They also really like Disney in general, and Final Fantasy, so I guess I do understand on that level, but the games always struck me as really bad. Whatever you think of the story (and haven’t got a clue what’s going on) the gameplay is really bad in all of them, or at least the ones I’ve played – thanks to the friend.

Every one I’ve played barely feels like an action role-player and is basically a straight action game, but a really bad one, where the combat feels like you’re never making contact with the enemy and the platforming is awful. Obviously, Kingdom Hearts 4 could be different, but after all these years I somehow doubt that. Apparently, that’s just how fans like it.Noisegun
Rival teamsI hope 2K is working on a FIFA game, because it is well beyond time we should have got a proper EA Sports FC rival. I really can’t see what else 2K is hinting at, especially given the people they’ve hired, but there is always the chance they could cancel whatever they’re planning, when they realise how hard and expensive it is to make.
If it does happen it’d presumably be something like NBA 2K but for football, so it’d be pretty unusual to see a massive budget sports game like that go up against another game that’s about the same thing. Something tells me it won’t happen, but with Xbox going down the drain it’d be nice to have some proper competition for at least something in video games at the moment.Pr0metheus

One good gameGreat to see Pokémon Pokopia doing so well, when most people would’ve figured it for being an easy to ignore spin-off. It goes to show that it’s not really marketing that determines whether a game is going to be a hit but word of mouth and reviews.
How many Pokémon spin-offs have there been in the last 30 years, and the only ones I remember are the ones that came out in the first few years, like Pokémon Pinball. But after all that time, all it takes is one good game and suddenly everyone’s excited and Pokémon itself seems more exciting than it has in a while.
The positives I’m taking from this is that it’s never too late for a franchise to come good, even after decades in the wilderness, and no game or spin-off should be discounted until you actually see what it’s like. Pokémon Pinball and Minecraft with Pokémon sound like dumb, lazy ideas but they’re great.Limpton
