While we’re still quite fond of the formula, there’s a very clear recipe that all Call of Duty games tend to adhere to. However, relatively new studio Sledgehammer Games promised that it would change things up with the upcoming Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare – and speaking as part of an interview with Game Informer magazine, senior development director Aaron Halon has hinted that the firm’s treating the impending instalment like a new intellectual property.
“We really look closely at a lot of different things,” he explained. “The pacing is different, things that are... there are very core things that Call of Duty [does] that won’t change: 60 frames-per-second, the moments and things in it that are very memorable in the game. But our take on it – our spin on it is different.”
Ex-Dead Space developer Glen Schofield continued: “We approached this like we would any new IP. I mean, this has been one heck of a creative challenge. I mean, everything is brand new in the game. We’re really looking forward to sharing more because we think that we have some meaningful way to make this franchise feel like it’s got its Sledgehammer mark on it.”
As of yet, we haven’t seen enough of the release to truly appreciate the studio’s words, but the setting is certainly a change of direction for the series. Rather than focus on the modern aspect of more recent entries, it will instead take place in the faraway future, allowing you to commandeer hover bikes and other such exotic gizmos. Moreover, the title’s being developed for next-gen formats first, meaning that it will probably look the part to boot.

Now all we need is a playable demo
@RawWilson1 That almost never happens with COD, you know considering the millions that buy it day one.
Topic: Oh thats so sad Activision placing them on the COD bandwagon so they must do "new IPs".
I feel like Sledgehammer will do us a solid and change this game enough for me to play again. I'm very curious as to what their version of zombies will be (I never cared for extinction).
@Stealth_sneak (reads comment)...............(sees profile pic).............i know what i want to fight
@TOMBOY25 If that happens my life will end...
Yeah, we believe.
They made the same kind of statements before Ghosts released, so I'll believe it when I see it.
meh, I don't care either way, I'm getting this game. At least it won't be loaded with rubberbanding.
@Demi_God
Also there might be less kids online on the PS4 version
@Demi_God no, just terrible P2P with the "host perks" and hacked lobbies. Like EVERY call of duty online EVER.
I might be tempted by the new call of duty depending on how different this is haven't bothered with cod for a couple of years now
I'm actually putting a little more faith in this game that I think I should, but I'm holding out hope that it will be different.
That's what they say about every CoD game, but it always ends up being just the same as the last.
Ya, CoD is all about the campaign for me. And as such, all I ask for is a new one that I haven't played or beaten yet, just like any sequel to any other game. I don't need revolutionized innovation here, just gimme the gameplay I know and love. If I wanted something different than CoD, I wouldn't be buying CoD in the first place....
@JaxonH Same here, I play CoD for CoD and love the campaign. However, I am hoping that they add some parkour-ey elements and big exosuit killstreaks in multiplayer...partly because I still don't think any game has captured District 9 or Elysium, and also because I want someone to beat Titanfall at its own game.
They better do something coz ghosts was RUBBISH! !!
@Punished_Boss Dang...
I don't blame Call of Duty for receiving ideas from previous FPS titles. I think it's about time they realized that they need to change their game up (A LOT), plus the gaming community hasn't been that well lately and there is many ideas left for these kinds of games. Call of Duty Advanced Warfare
