A Challenger for GTA V?

[HydraulicWaRiOr]

So, it's pretty obvious the new Call of Duty takes place in L.A, just like GTA V, that is, if you've taken your sweet time to watch the trailer.

 

But this begs the question; Is CoD challenging V with this game?

 

Now, I'm not saying CoD will be any better, or it will be much of a challenge for that matter, but it brings up the subject of another V trailer. CoD is most obviously not a sandbox game, but the whole location seems too strange for this CoD to take place. So, whether or not CoD is going up against V, do you think this competition will end up in a new trailer or information of any kind? Or will we have to wait a few more weeks?

 

Discuss..

Probably not they should just call the game Modern Warfare 4.It looks like reused bull again.GTA V wont be challenged.

[Dragonjack]

Its "Weird" to...but this is Call of duty Not Grand theft auto.

[StateofMind15]

So because COD uses the same location as GTA means COD challenging V? COD isnt even a sandbox like you said. I guess Need for Speed is challenging V since it has cars too.

[Long_Haired_Boy]

f*ck No

Yeah this doesn't make sense.

Is this a joke?

[Eagles]

Nah, wouldn't make much sense. One is a linear FPS, the other is a sandbox TPS. Different publics and proposals - although the IV multiplayer was full of stupid kids, unfortunately.

 

About the trailer, we ain't gonna have a trailer because of Black Ops 2. My thoughts are that it won't affect GTA V in any way.

We will have to wait a few more weeks. It's not too far. Max is coming, so Rockstar can't hide the game in a locker for so long.

I never said it was true. It's just an "If so...".

 

But look at it in the perspective of a Rockstar employee.

 

So there's this new CoD. And it takes place in L.A. V takes place in L.A.

 

Besides, every single game poses some sort of challenge to sales of other games. CoD is one of the more popular games that everyone seems to buy, just like GTA V. Now, considering it takes place in L.A. just like V does, that should say something about one of their possible minor intentions with the game.

Just watched the new COD trailer a couple of seconds ago. It seems like a desperate attempt to stay interesting while running out of ideas. They've done...

 

-WWII on both fronts

-The Cold War (including Vietnam)

-The War on Terror

-The Stereotypical Future Altercation with Russia

*The Gulf War is all they haven't done and maybe Korea (not sure) and the Gulf War is just the recent Iraq War with lower tech.

 

I expected the COD series to at least try to pool its resources and try to hold a torch to GTAV. Judging from the trailer it's...Halo minus aliens and a little less futuristic.

 

Now I'm sure GTAV won't have a problem with COD.

[RipGore]

OH, gimme a break.

 

COD isn't challenging GTA V.

 

 

Treyarch just wanted it to be in Los Angeles, and they just felt like doing it. I don't think they put effort to challenge another video game; for the most part, THE SETTING. It was just their first thought: LOS ANGELES.

 

LOL i don't even think Treyarch even THOUGHT about GTA V being a challenge due to the setting.

 

 

 

EDIT:

 

From a Rockstar employee's perspective, there would be nothing to worry about. COD is a completely different game; genre. I don't even think Rockstar had second thoughts about COD taking place in Los Angeles.

No.

 

but the whole location seems too strange for this CoD to take place.

Aside from those futuristic alien movies that came out in the last years like skyline and the other 10 blockbusters and all the games that take place in California that have come out in the recent years, what seems so strange?

Its just CoD being CoD and using the flavor of the month albeit a few years late to make a quick buck.

You're missing the point.

 

I'm saying, whether or not the setting has something to do with V, will a new trailer come faster because of it?

Yeah Call of Duty has taken the Tom Clancy game turn. They have no ideas left, so they go to the future. CODs gonna flop. I said it would with 3, and it didn't... but this is the SAME GAME as the last 5 or so. Just in the future.

[A320]

Not at all, Call of Duty is in decay, and by decay I mean they're on a freefall.

 

CoD is the least of R*'s worries.

[supreme]

Let me get this straight, your suggesting that the people who are copy/pasteing the new COD chose to use LA in their latest "game" simply because R* is using a city BASED on LA for GTAV? And your also suggesting that they are doing it just to compete with R* even though they are two COMPLETELY different genres?

 

ARE YOU F*CKIN STUPID OR WHAT?

 

What the hell is wrong with you? Pull your head out of your äss and stop making retarded post.

[HydraulicWaRiOr]

You're retarded. Read my other posts. I'm not saying they're going full-on competition because of it, I'm saying it could be a minor objective.

 

And they are both highly grossing games. It doesn't matter. When you go into the store with $65, you will have the choice to buy one or the other, so what really matters is what seems more interesting in an L.A perspective. You musn't assume so much. Read the back of the book first jackass.

I do. I find historical and futuristic games more interesting than those in the present, and I much prefer the Old West and Outer Space compared to modern New York or Paris.

 

[supreme]

[Slamman]

I can't just reply with "no"

 

But the topic is SO SILLY and without merit that, yes, the answer is 'no'

 

GTA is light years ahead of every other game, since it's astonished other game builders who can't capture any of it's magic. Even Red Dead Red is alone in exceeding any genre and game defining moment thus far in history

 

There have been runners up, should haves, and Almost Rans, but no one is as good as putting it all together, four wheels on the ground hitting it, running, like Rockstar Games

I'm sure they are amazed at the reception and success, but as the history attests, this is because they came at game building from unrelated success, the Housers. So they think a bit outside the 'box' ie The Norm

[supreme]

Well that's good for you.

 

I seriously doubt there's a lot of people out there thinking of buying a game by the city it's set in or the time setting without considering the game's genre.

If you like FPS shooters and want to play in a futuristic L.A. go for it... I fail to see how someone could choose GTA or CoD based on city and time setting.

 

[GreatGig]

 

But look at it in the perspective of a Rockstar employee.

So there's this new CoD. And it takes place in L.A. V takes place in L.A.

 

You're only encouraging the view you were trying to diminish by saying this. By your logic, that same Rockstar employee could say "So there's this new Forza and it has a couple of tracks in L.A." I get your original point but you're in a GTA forum, do you really expect anyone, besides ZeeWee Herman, to stick up for CoD?

 

As for this:

No. Rockstar Games have a marketing strategy lined up for V and I doubt they'll change it because of something so menial.

[Slamman]

Ah, but if you're a GTA forum regular, it's no secret that Rockstar doesn't divulge ANY DETAILS, so there's no information about LA as the location that the other studios were privy to in the slightest, have we not gone over this many many times?!? It's actual truth

[1whitebuddah]

treyarch probably chose l.a way before gta 5 even got announced.

[Lazlow54875]

This is bullsh** I posted the exact same topic and it got locked, nice consistency Mods.

 

My thread had everything to do with the setting of Call of Duty Whatever being the same as Rockstars new game so one would think that it was a move by Activison to counteract the sales of GTA V by using the same setting.

[dirtycopVCPD]

Probably. Besides It's not like you can really call Blops an LA based game. It's likely that one, maybe two missions will even take place in Los Angeles.

[GR7]

So because COD uses the same location as GTA means COD challenging V? COD isnt even a sandbox like you said. I guess Need for Speed is challenging V since it has cars too.

In a way it is a challange to see who can do L.A better. The same thing happened to NYC when several games were trying outdo the last's representation of the big apple and funnily enough I think GTAIV started that trend, maybe after V the new goto area to set a game will be L.A.

[The_Mario_Man]

TONS of games and movies use places like Los Angeles/New York/Miami//DC/etc as settings. They're important either politically, economically, or culturally, and have easily recognizable landmarks that you can blow up all day to show off your fancy computer effects.

 

I don't see how both games having similar settings (at least partially, because the CoD games tend to bounce around several locations and points in time within the same installment) would somehow make me more inclined to choose one over the other. My deciding factor, if for some reason I don't just grab both, will be which game I decide is more fun to play. The setting often has very little to do with that.

The location and time setting inspires alot of the characteristics of the game. Especially if it's in a realistic perspective like GTA V. Obviously if it is a futuristic game, it will have much more different weapons than one that is modern. It's one of the biggest concepts and determines how most of the game will look and feel. We didn't have airplanes and AKs in RDR, that would be stupid. We had horses and revolvers. So if you don't think that matters, there must be something wrong with you, because that's one of the most important elements of the game, especially when they attempt realism with it.

Can you steal and car and run over an old lady in CoD? I don't think so. They are two different genre of games. One is a closet pecker with invisible walls and the other is a free open world extravaganza. No challenge ever.
