Call of Duty vs Battlefield

The war between the Call of Duty and Battlefield series has been going on for years now, with each game vying to be the best war shooter on the market. While Battlefield has taken the crown in recent years, it looks like the Call of Duty series has taken it back this year with the upcoming Black Ops 4.

This information was revealed by GitHyp, which published some analysis on how each game is doing in the popularity category on various platforms. It reveals that on both Twitch and YouTube Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 is doing better than Battlefield V, beating it in both views and overall like to dislike ratio. Black Ops 4’s highest concurrent Twitch viewer count was recently marked at 367,000, whereas Battlefield V’s only managed 150,000.

A similar story can be seen over on YouTube, though in a different way. While both Black Ops 4 and Battlefield V videos have millions of views on YouTube, the big difference here is that Black Ops 4 has a much better like to dislike ratio.

The reason for this is actually a reversal of fortune compared to what the Call of Duty series was experiencing just a few short years ago. Big controversy surrounded Infinite Warfare’s plunge further into futuristic territory, which was a move fans weren’t happy with. Now, Battlefield V finds itself in hot water with the developer’s baffling representation drama, made worse by the developer’s arrogant responses to the fans who have voiced their issues.

Blackout is a big reason why Call of Duty’s popularity has skyrocketed, which is the series’ first foray into the Battle Royale mode. This new mode will be launching when the main game does, whereas Battlefield V’s battle royale mode called Firestorm may not be available at launch. This all adds up to a scenario where Call of Duty is shaping up to steamroll Battlefield V this year.

What’s even more impressive here is that GitHyp is also predicting that Black Ops 4 will overtake PUBG in terms of popularity when it launches in October. Considering that game’s massive success, things are looking good for CoD. It’s true that PUBG’s popularity has been sinking in the wake of the juggernaut that is Fortnite, it’s still played by millions daily and is a major player in the battle royale space.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 launches on October 12th, whereas Battlefield V was delayed recently until November 20th. Both games will launch for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC.

Helldivers 2 proved to be a surprising success, highlighting the unpredictable nature of the gaming industry. As per Circana analyst Mat Piscatella, it currently ranks as Sony’s seventh highest grossing game in the United States to date, trailing behind a trio of Spider-Man titles, a couple of God of War games, and Ghost of Tsushima. It’s only been on the market for less than three months and is not even being sold at full price.

According to Piscatella, a significant factor contributing to the game’s success is its release on PC. He mentioned that, based on Circana’s Player Engagement Tracker, the game has consistently ranked first in terms of active users on Steam in the US since its launch, including April. The release of Helldivers 2 on both PlayStation and PC has been an extraordinary triumph.

He stated that Helldivers 2 has already become the seventh highest-grossing Sony-published game in history. Without a PC, it would not currently be considered one of the top 20 games. While I’m emphasizing the success of the PC SKU, it’s important to note that I’m not disregarding the success of the PlayStation SKU. I just wanted to clarify that. This launch has proven to be incredibly successful.

Prior to the release of Helldivers 2, Sony made it clear that they would be launching their live service-style titles simultaneously on both the PS5 and PC. The success of this approach will undoubtedly strengthen their strategic vision. It will be intriguing to witness if the company reveals official sales figures in the near future, as the title appears to be one of the platform holder’s most successful sellers to date.

Shift Up, the Korean developer, seems to be reconsidering its contentious alterations to the Stellar Blade outfit. In a message to fans, they have urged everyone to stay tuned for updates and expressed gratitude for the passionate feedback from players. For those who may not be aware, a petition gained significant attention over the weekend when gamers discovered changes made to a few of the game’s costumes through a day-one patch.

The launch day update includes a fantastic New Game + mode, but some players were disappointed by the changes made to protagonist Eve’s outfit. These alterations sparked debates about censorship. Director Hyung-Tae Kim later clarified that this was the studio’s original vision, but he acknowledged that it may require further persuasion to win over users. Internal discussions were also underway to address any concerns.

There is no definitive confirmation regarding the reversal of the outfits, but considering the language used in the statement and the widespread controversy surrounding the alterations, it is highly likely that a future patch will restore the original costumes. If you want to get a sneak peek at all of Eve’s different outfits and learn how to unlock them, be sure to take a look at our comprehensive guide, All Outfits and How to Get Them.

Unfortunately, Stellar Blade will not be available on PC, at least not initially. Currently, the game is only available on PlayStation 5 starting on April 26, 2024.

Regrettably, it appears that there is no indication of a potential PC release for Stellar Blade in the future. In most cases, trailers for PlayStation timed-exclusive titles conclude with a disclaimer that specifies the duration of their exclusivity.

In the Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth launch trailer, it is explicitly stated that the game will only be accessible on other platforms starting on May 29, 2024.

Regrettably, when it comes to the stellar blade, there is no indication of such.

It’s important to note that Sony Entertainment Interactive published Stellar Blade, unlike Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. This means that the chances of it being released on PC or other platforms in the near future are even slimmer.

However, it is worth noting that there is a chance the game might be released on PC in the future, given PlayStation’s track record of bringing their exclusive titles to the platform. However, it could be a while before this comes to fruition.
