My money is on Russia 0-1 Saudi Arabia.

I can't see Activision changing their stance on this sadly. They've already trapped people who have pre-ordered on PS4 who cannot cancel if they've used any pre-order bonus on BO3. It's basically the same strategy they did for Modern Warfare Remastered - force people to pay an premium before launch and then make the content available for an even greater price as a standalone after Christmas. Them locking down digital pre-orders on the PS4 shows their intent that they don't want anyone to cancel their pre-purchases before launch and consumption of DLC6 diminishes their refund rights completely. They are immune to criticism and scrutiny because they know people will still pay up no matter what. This move stinks of Michael Condrey - he was a piece of shit at Sledgehammer and now he's going to be an even bigger one at the helm of Activision. Free DLC probably was on the cards until he got employed.

With The Division 2 coming out one month later which is an established brand; I think this game will be DOA. BioWare are already talking about the possibility of revisiting Mass Effect and Dragon Age in the future so for a small studio that's allegedly 100% dedicated to Anthem; that doesn't exactly ooze confidence especially when Anthem is clearly relying on continued future content and long term support. If this game fails; the devs may not even get another chance to make a new (old) game either. I can't see this ending well....or even beginning strongly.

Just to clarify Phil; win the match or the world cup? 😎
-
Activision may do a u-turn...
-
Here we go! List of daily fixtures and info can be found here https://www.fifa.com/worldcup/matches/ First match is Russia v Saudi Arabia - the hosts are the lowest ranked team in the competition at 70th in the world with Saudi in 67th place.

https://charlieintel.com/2018/06/13/new-activision-support-faq-says-black-ops-pass-content-cannot-be-purchased-separately/ Wow, Activision originally weren't going to sell the Black Ops pass (season pass) separately so you'ld need the £80 Deluxe version minimum just to play the DLC maps. They've since updated their bullshit FAQ stating that it will be available standalone at a later date. Activision are practically the only publisher left still doing this outdated season pass aspect. It will definitely hurt them this time around as people are sick of it. Free DLC is what is keeping people engaged and returning to games now. BO4 could be dead before Xmas and the only way of freshening it up is to spend £40 more on a pass when it becomes available!? This will bite them worse than the failure of Modern Warfare Remastered.

Footage from the new Frequency map I'm getting Infinite Warfare and Advanced Warfare vibes here. Oh dear!

Should somebody create a separate World Cup pinned thread? We had one last time and it worked well. I'd do one myself but I don't know how to create a new thread on this forum and my English isn't very good either.

The base game content is unclear regarding the amount of maps but the Deluxe version upwards contains the Black Ops pass which is essentially a season pass of just 12 additional MP maps, COD points and other small bonuses. The base game contains MP, BR and 3 zombies episodes in total. The rumour that all DLC maps post-launch would be free was sadly bullshit.

Definitely in the EU you can cancel your pre-order anytime before release as long as you don't download anything attributed to it or consume anything that is included i.e released beforehand (e.g pre-order bonus) I think you still get two weeks after release to claim a refund assuming you don't install the material. Basically the only reason DLC 6 has been created for BO3 is so people are forced to pre-order BO4 digitally on PS4 (most expensive) and once they've used the pre-order bonus on BO3, that means they cannot refund their BO4 pre-order at all. Microsoft wouldn't allow this as per their policy of fucking over their own users with small print and if this was on Steam, Valve wouldn't allow it either with their strict refund policy on pre-ordered material. They've got PSN owners by the balls on this one and most of them don't even know it. Having said that; anyone dedicated to pre-ordering so blindly/early would never cancel their pre-order regardless but it's incredibly bad so see such sick retail tactics in play.

Too bad he put this managerial sacking in the football (you meant to say soccer, didn't you) transfers thread though😎
-
That list was debunked as fake last week. No Raid Remake or Standoff confirmed. I had to edit my thread and replace it with the real list of 100% confirmed maps instead
-
Cyberpunk 2077 is confirmed as a first person shooter
-
They are only giving away BO3 for free so they can push the new DLC 6 which requires users to digitally pre-order BO4. Crafty fuckers.

Fuckin hell, even poverty-stricken people in Africa have managed to find time to play Skyrim. You better have a bloody good excuse as to why cos it's literally on every bloody system imaginable. I even have it on my microwave oven. Even Her Majesty The Queen has played it. Dear oh dear, I'm in shock😎

Ark is 67% off down to £16.50 from £50 so that's a great deal now https://store.steampowered.com/app/346110/ARK_Survival_Evolved/

Plus we already know that at least 4 of them are gonna be remakes in either the base game or DLC. How many fucking times do I have to pay for Firing Range? I bet the pass is essentially all or nothing too so you either buy all the post-launch maps or none at all. If Battlefield 5's maps are genuinely free with no strings attached, then there is no reason to buy this - it's bad enough that it's a BO3 asset rip that copies all other original games and has no campaign. Why the fuck would I pay more money for less content in a COD game! I don't really trust EA with Battlefield either so we'll have to wait and see on that one but so far that's winning by virtue of less scumbaggery.

I think some of the AI incidents was carefully scripted as expected but I'm expecting the final game to perform to a similar standard. The original PS3 title was remarkable and way ahead of its time so it wouldn't surprise me if this one is the same. The visuals and gameplay look very credible so its only the AI that's questionable and if it plays anything like the trailer then it'll be a near perfect representation.

I love Kojima but I really wonder what he smokes to make him come out with this. Hopefully it'll all make sense someday
-
I've been waiting years for this! I loved the original but 2 was just an exceptional step up. Never forget the first time walking into the police station. Just hope they don't drift too far away from the spirit of the original game.

Be interesting to see where the Xbox One X stands because a couple of key developers reckon it only has another two years despite it being a OTT powerhouse right now. Year one has been a complete write-off though. Even the PS4 Pro is beginning to show its age and is way behind the X so I'd expect Sony to move towards the PS5 to get back out in front in terms of name and technical power once again.

Square Enix's showcase was a bit medicore - Shadow of the Tomb Raider looked underwhelming and not much of a step up from Rise and Just Cause 4 sounds decent but nothing we haven't seen before. Ubisoft had lots to show in the 90 minutes but nothing that truly stood out as generation-defining. Plenty of established franchises and safe bets and aside from possible 8 man raids in The Division 2; no major advances from their usual gameplay formats. Sony's event was a bit disappointing in the end too - great to see TLOU2 and Spiderman along with Death Stranding at last but not much in terms of investment in the future. Just wonder if they've played all their cards. I thought Microsoft's conference was far more convincing but they didn't have much in the way of exclusives aside from a few already tired franchises. Just wonder if this is the PS4's final days before an upgrade.. Still, plenty of amazing games on the way so RIP wallet.

Is it me or does this actually sound worse than the season pass? https://charlieintel.com/2018/06/11/call-of-duty-black-ops-4-black-ops-pass-announced/ I thought that all DLC maps would be free and it was just the zombies portion that would have a season pass but it seems you have to buy the deluxe at the bare minimum to access the additional maps. This sounds a bit confusing and the whole thing is misleading - I knew free maps was too good to be true especially with these Activision pricks. All they've done is cut the campaign and renamed the season pass after the game. It's the same fucking bullshit but possibly even worse.
