tadp0le Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Quote Red Dead Redemption 2 probably won't be quite the juggernaut that GTA V was but it's still bound to be a huge release. If Activision released Black Ops IIII in the first week of November, it would fall directly in the wake of Rockstar's beast. Perhaps just as importantly, it's very likely that EA's Battlefield game---WWII themed Battlefield V---will launch in late October. Battlefield 1 launched on October 21st, 2016. Battlefield 4 came out on October 29th, 2013. It's entirely possible that EA will also move up that release due to Rockstar's domination at the end of the month, but now early October is a much less appealing window. Read that on Forbes here: https://www.forbes.com/sites/erikkain/2018/03/08/call-of-duty-black-ops-4-is-scared-of-red-dead-redemption-2/#14183c7c6e35 This is a bit old news, but I really didn't even consider this. I mean this is a good thing, right?? Devs behind a game like Call of Duty are worried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawn Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 A lot of them should be worried. Rockstar really made a huge impression with GTA V and while this is not going to be another GTA, it is still going to have a lot going for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mizTik Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 I don't think they are worried their games won't match up, they are worried the people who have to manage their spending will choose RDR2 over their game when they first release. This increases the odds of them getting the game on sale then and them not making as much money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would choose spending $100 on a jar of air over buying COD. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those games are copy/paste and have been for the longest time. Last one I enjoyed was Black Ops II and that was only because of the people I was playing with. They should be worried cause of gamers like us who won't waste money on their crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dIV4r Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 This just comes down to money. No matter how bad games like CoD get, they still sell. They just want to meet their quotas. I get that Devs would rather sell their games in the first 3 months of release an all but they can't expect everyone to be able to buy every game they want when they come out. I only buy games new if I really am invested in them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only buy games new if I really am invested in them. I don't think it is fair to say that it is always down to money. Some devs actually do care about their fanbase. I would consider CoD makers to be those who just don't. They just want money and it has shown more and more over the years as it became a "mainstream" game in the sense that people of all ages play it, experiences and unexperienced.

SNAK3S Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 I think I am more scared of Rockstar than CoD makers. Think about it. We have been waiting all this time for this game and what if it tanks!? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since the latest trailer, I think we will be fine. haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
