preorder the premium for 80, download COD4, sell Infinite Warfare for 60, 20 bucks for COD 4

And the rest of you seem to be under the delusion that no one would buy IW without the remaster. It just simply isn't the case.

This isn't saying what the game will be like. It's just sales records.

The problem here is that Activision has no faith in Infinite Warfare and they know the fanbase doesn't want it. But why is it being made? Then, they are going to rely on a remake of a 9 year old game to sell copies of Infinite Warfare on the back of CoD4 Remastered and then tout Infinite Warfare as a success. Then the next CoD will be Infinite Warfare 2 and they will remaster MW2 along with it.

It's pretty transparent. I would have zero problems with a $60 CoD4/MW2 Remastered collection with all DLC included. I'd even be okay with extra weapons as DLC on top of that. But this is just lame.

ETA: I guess, in a way, I'll just be happy with the CoD4 Remastered as something I've kind of always wanted.

Sure, regardless of how this board feels this game will sell. They didn't have to remaster this game for it to sell well. Now it will sell even better.

Pretty much the entire board saw the trailer and reacted the same way...no thanks on IW and yes please on CoD4 with the added bonus of everyone basically wanting CoD4 Remastered to be sold separately.

It will probably be coupled with COD IW for a limited time. I bet at some point you will be able to buy it on its own.

Why would they want to compete with themselves? Of course it's going to be released with the new game.

This board is not representative of everyone. This board doesn't care for Uncharted, myself included, but it's a big deal everywhere else.

I believe this, at least on PC where they have been experimenting with selling MP only months after.

Uh, this board was heavily into CoD in the past. During the CoD4/MW2 and Black Ops days this place was rocking. But when they shifted to robot suits and space jam video game settings everyone here soured. It's a different demographic as we're all kind of older now. The people buying CoD nowadays with all the moon shoes and stuff are likely our little 15 year old cousins.

That's not what did it. COD died in this place way before that.

I am under no delusion that millions of teeny boppers will purchase IW and it'll likely break sales records yet again on its own....

But I do believe the giant spike in sales numbers will be in largely due to them tacking on a remastered COD4. It will be a drastic increase. But I can assure you, most on this board, will be spending $90 for COD4 and not IW.

Yes Sic, I do in fact, get that just because people here and my interwebs friends don't like a certain game type or franchise, millions of others do. Much like how Justin Beiber's popularity disgusts me, yet millions still buy his garbage music

COD just isn't going to be what it used to be. And people need to get over the idea that getting rid of the space and jumping stuff is going to fix it. MW3 was the beginning of the end for this series. Even with BLOPS 2 there was no real resurrection on the GB because "COD was back". Maybe I can understand a little being upset about COD4 not being sold by itself, but beggars can't be choosers.

If they ever do release it stand-alone, I just might.
