'Call of Duty' returns to 'Modern Warfare' with new video game out Oct. 25

USATODAY - Tech Top Stories

The wait is over as gamers get a glimpse of Activision's 2019 "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare." Activision is set to redeploy "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare." The next edition of the multi-billion dollar video game franchise will harken back to 2007's "Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare," the first entry in the series to depart from a real-world historic conflict to explore modern-day hostilities. Since then, Call of Duty games have gone into the future with "Call of Duty: Black Ops 2" and "COD: Black Ops 3" based in 2025 and 2065, respectively. Originally, the first-person shooting games were set in World War II or the Vietnam War.


Why PC game downloads are so damned big

PCWorld

Back when 48KB of RAM was a huge deal, or when a 450MHz processor was the norm, or when 10MB of storage space was more than anyone expected to fill in a lifetime. Nowadays I have multiple terabytes of storage capacity...and it just keeps filling up. One of 2016's large-scale PC gaming trends--emphasis on large--was the rapid inflation of download sizes and drive footprints. Let's dig into why before examining some potential solutions. This 10TB drive is truly vast and stupendously fast (for a hard drive), and is also miserly on the power consumption.

Gravity Rush 2 is my most-anticipated game of January 2016. January is almost upon us, and with it comes a bunch of new games. There's nothing really earth-shattering releasing in the first month of 2017, but there's at least a few good games you should keep an eye on. Following is the full list of releases. After that, we'll take a look at the ones that are on my radar.


'Star Wars: Rogue One' And 'Call Of Duty: Infinite Warfare' Tell Basically The Same Story

Forbes - Tech

A small band of heroes willing to take on a daunting foe or die trying. The rag-tag bunch of heroes is diverse, comprised of various races and sexes: a dashing young captain and his strong female counterpart, a humorous robot who has no trouble engaging in combat, and various other side characters. In the end, most of these characters will die for their cause, but they'll strike a major blow against the enemy. Sounds a lot like the new Star Wars movie, Rogue One, doesn't it? In that film a small crew of Rebels led by Jyn Erso and Cassian Andor sneak into the Imperial base at Scariff to steal the Death Star plans.

Review: 'Call of Duty' still infinitely exciting

USATODAY - Tech Top Stories

In the new video game'Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare,' some combat takes place in zero gravity. The latest Call of Duty video game is out of this world. Previous Call of Duty games have made forays into outer space, but Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare (out now for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PCs, rated for ages 17-up) takes the first-person shooting franchise fully intergalactic. As a result, Infinite Warfare has a different, but not unwelcome feel from the preceding adventures in the multibillion-selling Call of Duty series. Most fans will likely enjoy embracing their inner space cowboy.


Review: 'Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare' Reaches for the Stars But Never Gets off the Ground

TIME - Tech

Once more, we're drowning in a season of shooters: the jazzy robo-parkour of Titanfall 2, the eco-pocalyptic hustle of Gears of War 4, the anthologized toil of Battlefield 1. It's the thirteenth installment in Activision's granddaddy projectile-chucker that's been nipping at Pokémon's fourth place heels in the battle for all-time bestselling franchise bragging rights. If last year's cyberpunk Black Ops III by alt-subsidiary Treyarch dared to broach protocol by disappearing down quasi-existential rabbit holes, studio Infinity Ward's sci-fi shooter rights course by acid-washing any nuance from its galloping potboiler. It's a tale of one-dimensional interplanetary insurgents reduced to no-dimensional quarry -- blockades of human or robotic militants jammed into moon base corridors or crowding orbital arenas, meat-or-metal-bags of variable lethality interposed between you and the next achievement unlock. It's also the story of your battle with Rear Admiral Salen Kotch (played by Game of Thrones' Kit Harington), a disaffected Martian radical about which those four words are all the game ever gives you.
