How two trailers have changed my mind (slightly) about MP games

I played the Destiny beta and enjoyed it but I didn’t enjoy it that much that I’m going to rush out on launch day and buy it (I like online gaming but if push came to shove, I’m more of a narrative-driven kind of guy – and Destiny’s story campaign doesn’t seem that good) but damn, this live action trailer Activision sent through is something else.

Watch it and tell me you’re not impressed? 

But is it so good that it’s convinced me to perhaps buy it at some point? Probably not but my interest is more for the game than it was a few weeks ago.

And sticking with Activision: I wasn’t that interested in COD: Advanced Warfare but after being hounded into watching game play by my COD-playing teenage son, I’m actually considering buying it (considering it: Not definitely buying it) but the latest trailer has me thinking that the multiplayer actually looks pretty good this time around.

Here, take a looksie:  

So much exoskeletons. So much jumping. So much explosions. So much future war stuff.

But then, I don’t really go for online games first and foremost, do I, so the chances of me picking Advanced Warfare up solely for MP is  unlikely but, still, who knows what will happen?

Thoughts?

COD Ghosts: the helicopter-attacking dog edtion

OMG, ANOTHER GAME VIDEO ON GAMEJUNKIE 2.0! WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON????

Sorry about all the caps but this is the third game trailer that I’ve posted in as many days, and this one’s for Call of Duty: Ghosts, a game that I have to admit hasn’t caught my attention at all … until now, that is.

I mean, you’ve played one COD game and you’ve played them all, right? At least that’s what I think. I enjoyed Black Ops 2 but in my mind, the original Modern Warfare is the best COD game in recent times.

And I know this trailer is most likely a montage of stuff you can do in-game but it actually looks like it could be interesting.

The trailer opens in space, showing astronauts popping out of a space station and firing guns in space, then there’s a missile attack on the United States which leaves it open to attack from forces “south of the equator”. There are explosions, crashing helicopters and a soldier (and his dog?) jumping from car to car on a cable car – then perhaps the coolest part of the whole trailer: A freaking german shepherd attacking a passenger in a helicopter. Go, Fido, go!

So, yeah, check it out and maybe, like me, you’re a little (not a lot, just a little) more interested in COD: Ghosts. Me? I’m going to watch that trailer again and watch the dog bit over and over again. I can’t get enough of that.
