I watched; I know what you did last summer. What a shit film. Terrible acting, cringeworthy scenes and not even Sarah Michelle Gellar's legs could save it.
Even had Johnny Galeki aka Leonard Hofstadter trying to play some hard bastard
^Agree with Techno. Battlefield 4's destruction can dramatically have a massive impact on the gameplay of a map from the start and when the destruction occurs which changes the way the map appears and plays. Levolution is a bit messy and glitchy at times plus it can be predictable but the dynamics can change significantly meaning camping areas get obliterated and routes get blocked off. Cover can also be diminished which can drastically alter your approach to situations on the map.
COD on the other hand uses the most basic and static designs even with the so called 'dynamic' aspects. These didn't really do much for gameplay with lampposts falling over and the typical spots and flanks always remain the same which isn't really a bad thing. You an play a map on a mode hundreds of times and it doesn't get old. Games will always be different even if you're utliising the same playing style. Learning a map and the way they pan out is still fun in COD. I don't think developers of COD and BF have the knack to design a system where maps can be generated either. There is too many glitches occuring on their flat base maps most of the time so coding in maps with aesthetically changing landscapes could be a horror show.
I'm pretty tired of the usual shit from the likes of COD where you get 15 flat maps and then the usual DLC roll-out. Counterstrike Global Offensive has over 1,000,000 players a day on PC and over 20,000 user created maps for free. Some of these are of a much better quality than most of the premium ones we see in COD and are created by players who have considerable experience in playing FPS games. I'd like to see a feature or programme implemented in COD where you can create and publish your own maps upon approval. I just feel there is still this huge corporate gap between the community and the franchise even with the close-knit relationships COD has with so many YouTubers. Most of them are promotional puppets but I think it would be good to have a greater input from the players rather than some shitty survey they recently released.
Shit maps can be disappointing especially with 90% of them in Ghosts but generated maps could add a whole level of shit into the mix. It's an interesting concept but I'd be more than happy just playing on 12+ really good and familiar maps and building knowledge and playstyles tied to those than worrying about what I'm walking into next match.
TWAT ALERT
I personally cannot stand the guy and he represents everything bad about the modern pop industry. He cannot sing, he cannot talk properly and his lyrics are cringeworthy. He fits in a treat then
People buy his shit, he has fun doing it so that's the main thing - I just wish I didn't see it or listen to it on a daily basis as I can't escape one day without hearing his name.
I think Destiny will do well but my only concern would be that it wont stand the test of time come November when everyone jumps on the COD bandwagon regardless of how good it is. My worry about Destiny like many games we've seen so far is that it will just die a death overnight. Hype is more brutal than ever but Destiny seems to justify the hype but COD always has the knack of turning heads for the foreseeable. I think games like The Division could be the ultimate title to change gaming as it's something on another level. Destiny is unique for this generation as it's good quality and is coming in at a time where games are few and far between.
A COD killer would be more than welcome as the more better games, the merrier. After how shit Ghosts was; AW has really stepped it up and that's what COD needed. They sat pretty too long on dated technology and a lack of forwarding ambition. Games like Destiny and AW will set the bar for what is expected. Considering that these titles were in production before Ghosts; it just shows how dreadful that game was.
Aside from the hype; will Destiny beat the likes of Borderlands and Halo? Certainly the latter but time will tell. It's actually a real shame that the last gen was dominated by COD actually because the likes of Borderlands was an infinitely better experience and probably the best co-op game in existence. Shame more people didn't know about it because seems we're all crying out for a good game in the genre yet there was one sitting pretty years previous.
Hope Destiny is more than just a benchwarmer until November but I think this will be a good alternative away from the usual COD and all it's predictable annual nonsense.
It's just been announced that the PS4's have once again outsold the Kinectless Xbox One's for the last month.
In light of them dropping the XBTV; they really need to consider dropping the price further; not just to try and sell more units but to try and justify the price of £350 without Kinect and now Xbox TV. They can't keep removing once key USP's and still charge the same.
I could probably club together a more powerful PC for £300 so south of £300 is where the Xbox One should sit else anything above is scandalous.

LOL!
..Apparently shutting down their Entertainment Studios which covers TV. The console is barely recognisable now as it's stripped bare of all the alleged USP's that were supposed to entice people to buy it. All that's left is games and there ain't much of those in the pipeline.
What a complete fuck up of a console
