New Games Coming Out Soon or Next Year

Hello it is time to again review some new games coming out soon or next year that may interest everybody.

First up is Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare - release date 11/4/16
This old franchise is doing a futuristic warfare first person shooter and it is not generating much interest. I talked to several gamers and they are not impressed. COD franchise needs to get back to basics and stop the path they are headed seems to be what people are saying, well at least the older gamers. Activision should see this because their last 3 COD games are pretty much dead online. Older COD games, COD, COD UO, COD 2, COD 4 and COD WaW are still very active compared to latest releases.

Second up is Battlefield 1 - release date 10/21/16
The Battlefield franchise has gone back in time to do a WW1 first person shooter. I will give them credit they are at least breaking the trend of modern warfare or futuristic warfare but is this game any good? I talked to several gamers that have played the beta and they were not impressed and just stopped playing it. The realism is not there one of them said. The tanks of WW1 went at maximum speed of 5 MPH which means a man in full combat gear can out run one. Well according to one gamer they were just flying over the battlefield. They said same could be said for weapons, planes and gameplay.

Third up is Mass Effect Andramada - Release Date early 2017
The latest Mass Effect Series role playing game from Bioware. This is the start of a new part of the series now the Mass Effect 3 closed the story on the first three games of the series. This game is highly anticipated and is generating a lot of interest. I personally can't wait and enjoyed the first three mass effects!

Fourth up is Battalion 1944 - Alpha release date May 2017
FINALLY a new WW2 first person shooter! I know quite a few gamers watching this game! Lots of interest from old time gamers. I am looking forward to it and hope it meets expectations!

The last one I am going to mention is there is rumor that Bioware will doing another Dragon Age game. I will continue to monitor this and since in Inquisitions they do leave you hanging at the end on their last DLC they did for the game I would say it is a safe bet they plan on doing another one. I for one hope they do another game!

well i hope 1944 works out ok!

Reviews have the game as highly rated and they did make adjustments from the Beta to final product. It is a squad based game so friends can play together, you can't rent dedicated servers, but if you play alone and go into a game you will probably get owned....one person verified this to me I talked to. The game is large with 62 players and of course tanks, planes, and various classes of soldiers. There are three versions of game you can buy stating at 59.99. The cheapest version is just the game, next one up at 79.99 has some goodies added and the third at 129.99 is the deluxe version a whole lot of goodies added. The multiplayer games are on dedicated servers run by EA Games, should allow renting with admin tools in my opinion. The game play from who I talked to is good and smooth but as he said before realism is not there but then again WW1 was trench warfare and was not that exciting, so they took liberties on game play. So realism had to go out window to make it entertaining and playable. There will be DLC coming out for this game in the coming months that you can purchase if you choose. Probably the best shooter game coming out until possibly Battalion 1944 comes out which goes back to old school.

Follow up on COD Infinite Warfare:

This game comes out early November and is seriously being bashed by reviewers and gamers. One review said Call of Duty series is sinking faster than the Titanic and need to get back to basics. Since COD WaW the Call of Duty series changed how their games are setup and run, relying more on matchmaking than dedicated servers. Only a couple of the releases since WaW you can rent a dedicated server. In my opinion they need to take a page from EA Games and go back to any type of warfare but modern or future and allow renting of servers or run their own dedicated servers, should allow renting as best choice with admin tools. This game I would stay away from with main reason being Call of Duty has always seemed to be a golden child of reviewers and gamers but they are bashing it already it must not be very good.
