Call of Duty 4 E3 Trailer

Sa74n · Jul 2007

just found this on gametrailers.com and holy crap this looks like its gonna be one hell of a ride

visually it looks absolutely stunning and even though i was doubtful about the middle east setting it makes a lot more sense to me now.
also they seem to push the cinematic quality even further. i am definitely going to get this game. multiplayer is most likely going to rock as well, considering how awesome cod2mp was

enjoy

As much as I want to hate this game because I'm getting sick of the genre, I must that, it defiantly looks fun.

Daz · Jul 2007

Yeah that's looking pretty damn intense. That humungous nuke type explosion looked incredible. I'm still dubious of the phrase 'actual gameplay' though. I think the expression they're really searching for for some of that is more like 'in engine', and damn, I still hate that totally stupid velvet character shader!

Tulkamir · Jul 2007

haha, those were pretty much the exact same thoughts that went through my head Daz. Looks beautiful, but there are some parts which I can't imagine are actual gameplay. And what is up with that stupid velvet shader anyways? I keep seeing it, and it keeps looking dumbassed.

Fuse · Jul 2007

some of that action brings to mind the cinematic direction of games like MGS... looks real impressive, despite the velvet shader

poopinmymouth · Jul 2007

uff, want. Want now!

Armanguy · Jul 2007

i so glad i bought a 360

Mongrelman · Jul 2007

Looking pretty nifty and intense, looking forward to it.

Jesse Moody · Jul 2007

yeah i can't wait to get this. i would be in line right now if it came out today.

MoP · Jul 2007

Hmm, looks very nice!
Again though, while I don't doubt it's "actual gameplay", I doubt that any of those cool cinematic camera angles are "gameplay", unless watching cutscenes counts as playing a game these days

JordanW · Jul 2007

looks cool, although I'm not a fan of the heavy handed rim lighting on the characters...although that could be said for 90% of the FPSs coming out in the next couple years.

Have you guys played the Call of Duty games? Every last frame of that speaks CoD-Gameplay to me. CoD2 and 3 are very, very cinematic experiences that make you feel like you're right in the middle of a good action movie. They (Infinity Ward) enjoy taking control of your camera as you play to show you things through a first-person perspective that you'd normally NOT see if you left it to the player to watch.

'In-engine' is probably more accurate, but to the average player it's all the same. Right?

I heard this time around IW has hired some Hollywood writers to do the story for CoD4. The reason being WW2 is easy to write a story for, but being something from a present-time war (or a not-so-distance future) they wanted to bring in professional writers to keep up with the story quality of the previous games.

Looks badass, those particles swelled me up a little.

Daz · Jul 2007

Yes, and I'm confident that the scripted style gameplay that the series is *very* famous for doesn't need to be explained to anyone in this thread.

I still happen to think that the term 'actual gameplay' is misleading when you're not controlling the camera or any events occurring, that's all.

The game is looking killer, and I can't wait to play it.

adam · Jul 2007

Had to make sure we were speaking about the same thing. Game-play/in-engine, or "Holy shit theres a lot going on"?.

2 sides to the coin on this one, you know.

And luckily you're on me like a fat kid on cake tonight. And here I was bored not 10 minutes ago...

danr · Jul 2007

awww, i quite like the velvety shader and the heavy rim lighting. I know it's probably not a conscious decision, but it lends it a slightly painterly feel - they can't quite pull off hyper-realism, so this sort of thing fills the gap with a certain style. Personally, i still like to see games that styistically remind you it's a game. Kinda like the Interstate 76 cutscenes writ large

indian_boy · Jul 2007

i think i finally know what rim lighting is!

but yeah, the graphics are looking great, but the gameplay. no offense to cod fans, but cod 4 looks like another run and shoot game. but then again, only id and epic have ever excited me about FPS games.

since both epic and Id are known to make fps that are not run and shoot eh?

i think it looks pretty awesoem. Wish we could see something that was a bit more hands on though.

adam · Jul 2007

Yah.. hopefully CoD4 is not on rails as much as CoD3 was.

At least if it is, its safe to the multiplayer will be fun.

indian_boy · Jul 2007

@motives: lol... okay i shoulda spent more time on that reply. the most exciting run-and-shoot games i've played are from id and epic. possibly because of the originality? im almost sick of seeing the same /close to same setting etc. etc. with all the WW fps games. CoD, Medal, Battlefield [the first one or two i think?] etc. etc. no _real_ story lines except "hey its WW2, you know the story, now just go shoot some "insert enemy name here"". but then again, my reply was incorrectly phrased... sorry.

this one does seem to be different from the traditional war though, i might rent it when it comes.

ebagg · Jul 2007

Wow, that looks awesome. I hope it has a lot of non-linear level design, I loved clearing the towns in CoD2.

snap.crackle.pop · Jul 2007

Is there some sites that gives some concept art (screenshots) for call of duty ? i'd love to play with this style.
