This looks so dumb stupid, and has so many explosions and hover bikes, and mech spider tanks and jetpacks, and frank underwood, that it may just be my return to CoD.

...As long as it doesn't actually take itself too seriously... oh who am I kidding.

It's nice to see an effort put into a CoD campaign again. Sadly, I can only assume 90% of the people who buy this will see none of the Spacey, because multiplayer.

Looks like they forgot to animate Kevin Spacey's eyes.

So, Kevin Spacey is a mustache twirling villain?

This is the best. Really funny.

I've always found these games adequate for what I want out of them. They're a popcorn flick for me. I take the story about as seriously as I took the story in Olympus has Fallen. That is to say, enough so that I care about the characters and what happens in the plot, and not so much that I criticize it for not being on par with an Uncharted or Last of Us. I submit that these games are action movies. You don't need a good story, or innovative new gameplay mechanics. You just need something functional and enjoyable for what it is. I present to you Call of Duty. If you don't like it, that's great. For those of us that do, there's nothing else out there that compares. *hasnotplayedTitanFall*

I am so sick of Call of Duty. I really wish this franchise would die and take its repetitive and increasingly stale shooting with it so we can give press to better ga-

Hoverbikes, you say?

I'm interested. It seem like the developers are trying to once again push the envelope like that did with COD4. And Kevin Spacey makes a great villain.

Kevin Spacey as President? So this CoD is canon to House of Cards?

Jokes aside, I am really excited Sledgehammer decided to go where Treyarch went with Black Ops II; futuristic stuff with sweet sweet tech. Glad to see that Sledgehammer knows who to take their cues from. I wonder what their "third gamemode" will be, since Zombies and Aliens are taken.

What about robots? Maybe Titans for a good laugh.

Bets on this opening the Microsoft Press Conference?

Digital Spacey gives the Microsoft Press Conference. Big floating head on giant screen with matrix background announces everything, real spacey is backstage with mo-cap ping-pong balls on his face.

I'm going to play this with the mindset that Frank Underwood became immortal and rules the United States.

sure, i'll play call of duty if it's got kevin spacey in it. not a huge fan of the franchise, but if they're going to add a compelling narrative to the admittedly solid mechanics i'll bite.

I love Spacey, but I don't love him sixty dollars for six minutes of cutscenes.

EDIT: Oh, gosh, "House of CODs." It's perfect.

It probably won't play that different from MW2 or BOPS. It sucks because the story looks like silly fun, but overall it seems like a cosmetic upgrade.

I'm not even remotely interested in CoD anymore, but I will play this one just for Kevin Spacey alone.

I have no idea what planet you live on where no one calls Nintendo out for making sequels, but it certainly isn't Earth. People mention it all the time, are you kidding?

@snail:

Not grandiose enough.

Real Spacey must fight with his digital doppelganger. In the end, digitalSpacey must win, finalizing the climactic fight with "THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE."

The words fade into the text ONE, which merges into XBOX ONE.

That is *surprisingly* awful facial animation. They have Kevin Spacey ffs, and they didn't pay him the courtesy of actually animating his face?

Yeah, after watching Patrick & Alex talk about this before I got a chance to see it first. It's extremely noticeable because I was watching for it. Some of it looks passable. However, with one scene in particular when he slams his hands down on the table, yelling in disgust (and posing a rhetorical question) about democracy. There's basically ZERO upper facial animation that even comes remotely close to relaying that emotion. I'm no expert in animation, or even what's involved, but come on. Even I know how facial muscles work, and react.

I'm a huge Spacey fan, and I really do hope they polish at least some of that up.

I might be able to get back into COD if they keep going down the futuristic scifi road. I will check back in a couple years.

I think Call of Duty is starting to get a bit desperate with their shitty Kevin Spacey "PLEASE BUY THIS REMEMBER HOUSE OF CARDS?" ploy. It sounds like a shitty cash-in. But who knows? Maybe they'll do heavily political future warfare games from now on? It could be interesting.

I know they are just trying to blind me with cool, sci-fi shit. Why is this working? I know it's almost certainly going to be the same-old, same-old.

Bah. Back to shooting the bad men in my giant robot buddy.

What other games is the Golden Gate Bridge destroyed in? Defiance and Fracture? I can't think of many, but Alex seems to think it happens pretty often.

Did I miss something? We now have a three year dev cycle for COD? An extra twelve months to make sure it looks and plays just like the one before it.
