I decided to get Twilight Princess HD because it's a Zelda game I haven't given a fair shot. I find myself wishing that they'd gone for a colorful aesthetic like Skyward Sword or Breath of the Wild so that the Twilight sections would look even more alien. I do really love the geometric, black-and-neon Twilight aesthetics, though.

I think that's fake, Call of Duty World War II is a phenomenally dumb name.

I could maybe go for a new WW2 CoD (the last CoD I played was Black Ops 2) but the supply drop things people talk about in the newer ones sound really bad (I guess I don't know the details but I think you get weapons/ingame currency from lootboxes)

Just because it's phenomenally dumb doesn't mean a bunch of people didn't get paid to come up with and sign off on it :smith:

Though if it is real, they'd have done much better to name it after a famous battle of World War II that the campaign focuses around or something like that. It'd certainly pop a lot more. Call of Duty: Normandy or Call of Duty: Iwo Jima or something

I don't think most of them have the balls to defend actual literal WW2 Hitler-Nazis, they just like to hem and haw and whine about how they're not Nazis, they're merely Naziesque.

Because Activision has a franchise with space guns, jetpacks and probably wallrunning with a new entry coming out this year while Battlefield One was well received.

battlefield one wasnt well received with the kind of people who play cod though, they're a bit more of a separate market. it just seems like if they do this they'll be basically giving away more players to titanfall

There is not a new Titanfall coming out this year and CoD's sales numbers have been going down while Battlefield One did similar sales numbers.

I am certain there are CoD fans who hate Battlefield but based off its sales it probably has more significant overlap than you think.

they went up with black ops 3 and back down with IW because the multiplayer is all kinds of hosed up on a technical level. there wont be a new titanfall but at the moment people are moving back to black ops 3 or looking at titanfall 2 and if the next cod moves backwards on the mobility it'll just make that titanfall 2 purchase seem like an even better idea. i'll probably move to titanfall 2 with some black ops 3 if cod is ww2, theres no situation on the planet where i buy a ww2 cod in 2017 and i love cod games.

Absolutely not. It doesn't matter that Titanfall is a good game or not. It's going to be a year old by the time CoD is out and no meaningful amount of people go back to a year old multiplayer shooter when newer ones are coming out. Anyone who did probably already purchased and owns Titanfall. They might move to a competitor but in this case, again, Activision owns the most likely competitor.

"Nobody is going to mass go out and purchase a game they have not already purchased" is clearer for you then?

The idea that, a year after release, literally millions of people would go out and purchase a moderately successful year-old shooter they didn't purchase in the first place is beyond absurd. Some may go back to Titanfall 2 but considering its sales numbers if they lost every single person who purchased Titanfall 2 but gain 1/5th of the people who purchased Battlefield One that would be a win for them.

Most of them are still going to buy CoD WWII. Of those that don't, a not-insignificant number will go for Destiny 2 instead. Activision has little reason not to try to grab some of the Battlefield pie because if it works out it's a huge boon and if it doesn't then the game everyone hates and stops playing still sells more than almost every other game on the planet.

Call of Duty sells because it is The Big Shooter Franchise as much as anything. Even if people stop playing it they don't stop supporting it and they won't until enough time has passed that it being the Big Shooter is no longer true, but because of its name recognition value and yearly release schedule there's not a lot that will compete with it, especially because EA is just as prone to fuckups as Activision is.
