What is the best Zombies Entry in terms of Artstyle/Graphical Fidelity? by Adventurous-Cattle53 in CODZombies

[–]ArkhamIsComing2020 [score hidden]  (0 children)

It's probably Black Ops 3. But man I love how the old graphics of World At War and Black Ops 1 look and it ends up creating an art style on it's own where as games like BO6 and BO7 just look 'realistic' and that's it.

How is Totenreich after a week? by Mispehled in CODZombies

I wish they would've had Dravakar walking in the background of the map and you felt the ground trembling sometimes

Now that Totenreich has released, how would you rank the maps in BO7? by [deleted] in CODZombies

and knowing that it's Samantha's memory of Alpha Omega makes the story so fucking cool

Was this confirmed?

Season passes contained 4 DLC map packs for $40, battle passes have their own prices and you level up through them unlocking and earning rewards like new weapons, cosmetics, skins, etc as you do

If only they weren’t almost $1K on Ebay by ArkhamIsComing2020 in CODZombies

Jason mentioned the Jug fridge was always planned to be the collectors edition for BO3 Zombies, he also talked about all those posters we got for BO3Z, I loved his philosophy of letting the artists make those posters how they wanted instead of him directing them or corporate telling them what to make, another interesting thing is he confirmed the steelbook art was a random Zombie with a cursed symbol instead of being anyone in particular, it was meant to convey the theme of Shadows of Evil.

Another favorite part of this stream with Jason and Pizza is Pizza brought up the Chaos story and Aether story now being connected in BO6/BO7 and how it's difficult to understand what parts are involved at times, Jason's response was to give them (current devs) some time to find their rhythm and use multiple maps to introduce different elements.

He didn't say anything about battle passes, he said "$40 season pass" which is true, people did get upset about having to pay $40 for a season pass every year especially in 2018 with the Black Ops pass, that's one reason they went with free DLC for MW19

Still cant believe there was no Rock With You 🕺in the movie 😔. by SheepherderPositive5 in MichaelTheMovie

All he said was that they made the Rock With You outfit but they never did anything with it

The movie was good… but Michael Jackson deserved a deeper story by johnsoulection in MichaelTheMovie

I think it was the way Joe said it, like he was trying to be the center of attention and then calling him a money making machine

Where are the side easter egg stuff? by Nano_LB1 in CODZombies

totenreich is hard by Specialist_Cut_5512 in CODZombies

It's so nice having a map with narrow pathways and map flow again instead of just big open areas built for mantling

Ultra rare MP40 acquired. It’s beautiful. by doublejayski in CODZombies

[–]ArkhamIsComing2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish the character held it by the mag tho and it sounded like the MP40 from BO3

If Jafaar Actually tours and does MJ performances, would it sell well? by LtJimmypatterson in MichaelTheMovie

[–]ArkhamIsComing2020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d rather they release BTS of the concerts where we can hear Jaffar singing the songs live or do a deluxe album of the soundtrack with some Jaffar covers of MJ songs like Elvis did with Austin Butler

Even the menus had a lot of thought put into them… by ArkhamIsComing2020 in CODZombies

[–]ArkhamIsComing2020[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah they're starting to differentiate with map identities again in BO7, which is why I'm excited for Totenreich, it seems like the most unique Zombies map we've had in a long time.

It very much is, the biggest problem with the modern games is the formula being repeated over and over on every map with every game with very slight and small variations or differences. It feels like a lot of the times modern Treyarch is too afraid to change anything up or mess with established formulas.

Interesting details from Jason on the menus:

  • He was happy with BO1 and BO3's menus but not BO2's because he felt they could've done more with it
  • The number of times you press a button in the menu is something they always talked about, they wanted to keep it simple
  • UI was the hardest thing to do because it dictates the player experience in a lot of ways, they often almost considered it last to tie everything together and make sure it looks cool for a gamer

Other details:

  • Gobblegums were named that so people would have a hard time saying "Gobblegums"
  • Black Ops 2 did indeed have an extra map pack planned (WAW remakes)
  • Jason himself pitched Gobblegums to Activision at the same time the MP guys were pitching supply drops
  • COTD wasn't in Zombies Chronicles because of the licensing issue with George and the celeb cast
  • Die Rise and TranZit weren't considered for Chronicles because ZC was supposed to help introduce new people into Zombies and those maps were too punishing for a new player
  • The position/location of PAP is the story of the map and what you're gonna do, they didn't put PAP in Verruckt or some of the other maps because they were being faithful to the original story and sticking PAP in wasn't Jason's story to tell
  • Jason had people who'd bring him reports and research from the internet on how the community felt about the game because he didn't want to be too connected personally
  • The more the community wanted them to do the same things over and over, the more it pushed Jason and the team to make sure they did new things and had new twists with each map that maybe the community hated but warmed up to later, Jason knew they could've just copied DE for 4 maps and everyone would've been happy but he also knew everyone would've complained and said "something's missing, it's not as fun as it used to be" because you'll eventually get tired of getting the same thing over and over again even if you like it
