The trailer for the forthcoming game Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare really is something to behold.
Sure, the previous version was a linear snoozefest. Despite the being on the new Ps4 and looking fantastic, the game was virtually played on rails, like being on a ghost train and shooting things that jump out. Unlike, say, InFamous: Second Son, which has a free roaming sandbox approach the gameplay of the last COD was a huge disappointment and this trailer offers few clues as to what the next installment will be like.
What we do know, however, is that trailer could be for an action film. Not only is Kevin Spacey providing the voice of the bad guy, they’ve used his likeness as well and the quality of the scenes previewed show how rapidly game makers are reaching the levels of special effects in Hollywood blockbusters. After all, many of those films are largely computer effects anyway.
The game may or may not disappoint again, but game trailers have never been more impressive.
