Netflix's upcoming TV series, The Witcher, is one of the most-anticipated original series coming to the streaming service. And those wanting to see more of it can look forward to a new trailer arriving tomorrow.The Witcher Twitter account released a teaser for the trailer, which you can see below, and the 22-second video features Geralt of Rivia, Yennefer, and Ciri, along with some impressive usage of the Aard sign.Oh little birds with tweets of sorrowTo you we bring some newsFor when the rooster crows tomorrowA trailer shall be viewed pic.twitter.com/uuSZlGrUj9 — The Witcher (@witchernetflix) October 30, 2019Hopefully, the trailer will finally deliver the release date for the series. There have been rumblings that the show will come out at the end of November--even though it wasn't listed on Netflix's November release list. Redanian Intelligence, a Witcher informational account, took a photo of alleged promotional art which claims the world premiere for the series is December 16. If this is true, we could see The Witcher arrive on December 20, as Netflix typically debuts its bigger original series on Fridays.Recently, some more images were released from the upcoming show, one of which shows Geralt riding Roach. Witcher stars Henry Cavill as Geralt of Rivia, Anya Chalotra as Yennefer, and Freya Allan as Ciri.If you're impatient for the TV series, why not play Witcher 3 again, but this time, on Switch? In his review of the Nintendo port, Jacob Dekker gave The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt an 9/10 (while the PC, Xbox One, and PS4 versions received a 10/10), and in the review, Dekker said, "Although the Nintendo Switch might not be the best platform to play The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, it's still a fantastic experience that shouldn't be missed. If you are looking to replay The Witcher 3 and bask in its detail and beauty, the Switch port may not quite scratch that itch. However, what makes this game excellent isn't its graphics, but the powerful stories it tells, and those are as vivid as ever on Switch."Info from Gamespot.com

Disney+ launches in two weeks now, and the new content continues to be added to the day one line-up. We already know that there will be a host of classic Pixar movies to stream, and the studio has now announced that six new Pixar short films will also be available.Disney released a new trailer for the collection of short films, which is titled Sparkshorts. The six films are Purl, Smash and Grab, Kitbull, Loop, Wind, and Loop. The shorts have all been made by upcoming animators at Pixar, and while three of them-- Purl, Smash and Grab, and Kitbull--were released online earlier this year, the other three will make their Disney+ debut on November 12. Check the trailer out below:#SparkShorts, @Pixar’s new collection of artists’ projects, streaming Nov. 12, only on #DisneyPlus. pic.twitter.com/usR7Ov1pDG — Disney+ (@disneyplus) October 30, 2019The SparkShorts program was first announced back in January. In a statement, Pixar boss Jim Morris said: "The SparkShorts program is designed to discover new storytellers, explore new storytelling techniques, and experiment with new production workflows. These films are unlike anything we've ever done at Pixar, providing an opportunity to unlock the potential of individual artists and their inventive filmmaking approaches on a smaller scale than our normal fare."In related news, the full trailer for Onward, Pixar's next theatrical movie, was released earlier this month. The movie stars Tom Holland and Chris Pratt as two Elf brothers who embark on an unusual quest, and it hits theaters in March next year.For more, check out GamesSpot's guides to every exclusive Disney+ launch show and everything that will be available on day one of the service.Info from Gamespot.com

November's free games for PlayStation Plus subscribers have been revealed, and it's one of the best months in a while. Subscribers will get the challenging action game Nioh as well as the terrifying horror game Outlast 2.Nioh is set in fictional feudal Japan and puts you in the shoes of William Adams who--in-game and in real life--is the first Western samurai. Its gameplay is very comparable to the Dark Souls series, with challenging combat, huge open levels, and big bosses that will likely kick your butt. Our Nioh review scored it a 9/10 and called it an "effective and engrossing spin on Dark Souls-inspired combat and exploration."Gigantic bosses can cause dread, but the second PS Plus game inspires pure terror. Outlast 2 is a first-person trek through one terrifying area after another. After a helicopter accident, your wife goes missing in a creepy remote region that's full of disfigured cultists looking to murder anyone they find. Equipped with your trusty camcorder, you must utilize its night-vision and recording functionality to sneak, survive, and save your wife. GameSpot's Outlast 2 review compared the game to "a ride through a really amazing haunted house," scoring it a 7/10.Both games join the PS Plus lineup on November 5. Once they're available, you can add them to your basket and checkout. After that, they're yours to keep for as long as you're subscribed to PlayStation Plus.Of course, there's still some time left for October's PlayStation Plus offerings, so if you haven't claimed the free games for this month, then make sure to do so before time runs out.

Making video games is hard. The beautiful landscapes, the engaging combat, and the stories that stick with us for years all came from hard-working and talented individuals who spent years honing their craft. As someone who has tried making a small-scale game themselves, it can seem like a steep uphill hike trying to learn game development. It can also be expensive, but if you're looking to learn, then digital games retailer Fanatical has a great deal on some game development ebook bundles.Fanatical is offering several ebook bundles, many of which relate to game development and other forms of programming and web production.

Team Ninja has announced the release date for Nioh 2: March 13, 2020. If you're itching to try out the game earlier than that, an open beta will begin this weekend."I know many of you have been waiting and we thank you for your patience while we worked to set an official date," Team Ninja producer Fumihiko Yasuda wrote in a blog post. "One of the primary reasons for not rushing to set a launch date was to ensure that we can achieve a genuine evolution from Nioh, which to us meant that we needed to bring in fresh new elements while retaining the things that we felt were right from the first game."From November 1-10, you'll be able to download Nioh 2's open beta from the PlayStation Store. You don't have to sign up anywhere--all players can jump in and experience Nioh 2's character creator, environments, and new weapons (like the Switchglaive).The open beta begins in a safe zone where you're able to test out the attack patterns of different weapons. "This place [the Interim] was designed and based on the Tibetan Buddhist concept of intermediate, transitional state between life and death," Yasuda wrote. "I'm actually very fond of the environment we created which is modeled after the Sanzu river surrounded in tranquility (similar to the River Styx from Greek mythology)."From there, you can move on to one of Nioh 2's levels, a location that's based on Sunomata castle. If you can beat it before the open beta ends, you'll earn The Mark of the Demon Slayer--which will reward you with a special helmet to wear in the game when it officially comes out next March.Pre-orders for Nioh 2 are officially live, starting today. If you're still on the fence about buying the game early, PlayStation Plus members can download the original Nioh for free starting November 5--a deal that will continue through the month.Info from Gamespot.com

Shudder's recent TV reboot of writer Stephen King and director George Romero's classic 1982 horror anthology movie Creepshow has proven to be the most-watched show that the streaming service has released so far. With the final episode hitting the platform this week, it has been announced that the series will return for a second season.As reported by Deadline, Creepshow Season 2 has been been greenlit by Shudder, with showrunner Greg Nicotero set to return. In a statement, Nicotero said: "For me, Creepshow has been a true labor of love. To be able to pay tribute to George A. Romero's visionary project and have the show so embraced by fans everywhere is humbling to this horror kid from Pittsburgh. I couldn't be more pleased and look forward to continuing the series with more ghoulish delight."Creepshow Season 1 featured 12 stories, spread across six episodes. While King wrote all five episodes of the movie, the show featured a variety of writers, and included adaptations of stories by acclaimed writers such as Joe R. Lansdale, Joe Hill , Josh Malerman, and King himself. In his review of the first episode, GameSpot's Mat Elfring described it as "exceptionally promising." No premiere date has been announced for Creepshow Season 2 yet, but a release in the weeks leading up to Halloween next year seems like a good bet.In related news, details emerged this week about when we might see the next season of the biggest horror/sci-fi show on TV--Stranger Things. According to reports, Stranger Things Season 4 will start shooting in January 2020, and will continue until August, meaning that we're unlikely to see the show before 2021.Info from Gamespot.com

The first Fast & Furious spinoff, Hobbs & Shaw, follows the titular characters, working together to stop a super-powered terrorist, looking to get his hands on a deadly virus. It's the kind of action-packed romp that we've come to expect from the FF franchise, but with a decidedly science-fiction slant.On the home release for the movie--which arrives on November 5--there are plenty of special features. One of which features WWE star Roman Reigns knocking out a cameraman. In the featurette "Keeping it in the family: A conversation with Roman and Dwayne," Dwayne Johnson and Joe Anoa'i, Reigns' real name, discuss Samoan culture and how important it is to them to have it represented in the movie. They also discuss their Samoan heritage and its wrestling roots.However, the best part of the feature comes from the final moments where we learn Anoa'i knocked out a cameraman during the filming of Hobbs & Shaw. "He's gonna have a hell of a career, in Hollywood," Johnson said. "If he doesn't knock out any more cameramen." During an action sequence, Anoai was throwing a club, and it hit one of the cameramen, knocking him out.Because the two are laughing about the moment, it's pretty obvious the cameraman escaped unscathed, but there is a brief moment in the video shown where you can see the club leaving Anoai's hands and realizing he made a huge mistake.Hobbs & Shaw on Blu-ray$40 $25See at AmazonWhile the movie is available digitally now, the vast majority of the special features, including commentary from director David Leitch, is only available on DVD, Blu-ray, and 4K UHD. In addition, the home release contains an alternate opening, deleted scenes, and numerous features about the fight sequences, making the movie, Hobbs' family, and the insane elevator stunt.In GameSpot's review of Hobbs & Shaw, Chris E. Hayner said, "Ultimately, Hobbs & Shaw is probably the movie you want it to be. It's funny with massive-scale action, the likes of which you rarely see outside of this franchise. It's loaded with car chases, explosions, and fight scenes in which every character should repeatedly die. It's just unfortunate that the pieces of the film that aren't soaked in action don't add up. This movie could have been incredible. Instead, it's just a lot of adrenaline-fueled fun. Sometimes, though, that's more than enough."Fast & Furious: Hobbs & Shaw is available digitally now and arrives on DVD, Blu-ray, and 4K UHD on November 5.The products discussed here were independently chosen by our editors.

The reimagined, revamped version of Persona 5 has officially launched in Japan, and developer/publisher Atlus went the extra mile in letting people know it's out there. Along with a launch day livestream, a modified version of Persona 5 Royal's opening cinematic took over multiple screens at the iconic Shibuya Crossing. It's life imitating art, as the Phantom Thieves have a knack for hijacking the huge screens of their fictional Shibuya during pivotal moments in the game.You can watch an on-the-ground video of this happening in a tweet from the official Japanese Persona Twitter account:令和元年10月31日午前0時、渋谷の街は『ペルソナ5 ザ・ロイヤル』怪盗団が頂戴した‼️#P5R 発売記念生放送アーカイブ➡︎https://t.co/77zW6l88fa… pic.twitter.com/OT0mNsCQen — モルガナ_ペルソナ広報 (@p_kouhou) October 30, 2019The Twitter fan account Persona Spain also clipped the moment from the livestream's angle, which you can see below:PERSONA 5 ROYAL, SHIBUYA 😱😱 #P5R #Persona5TheRoyal #persona5royal @ThePhanSite @Persona_Central pic.twitter.com/8BT1YFMXP8 — Persona Spain (@personaspain) October 30, 2019Here's a photo from the ground that shows another angle of what it looked like at Shibuya Crossing:本日0時、渋谷のスクランブル交差点が、まさに「ペルソナ5 ザ・ロイヤル」の世界に！ いよいよ発売！　#P5R pic.twitter.com/kovpwxmHTs — おしょう（千木良 章） (@gameosho) October 30, 2019P5R has a slew of additional content like a whole new palace, new social events, an extra semester in the story's timeline, additional battle mechanics, more activities during free time in Tokyo, My Palace mode, new characters, new endings...it's wild.The new character, named Kasumi Yoshizawa, plays an immense role in P5R, and her presence drastically changes the way events of the original game play out.

Electronic Arts is the biggest publisher of sports video games in the world, and the company is looking to expand even further. The publisher confirmed in its latest earnings report that it will add another sports game to its catalogue in the next fiscal year.In fiscal 2021 (April 1, 2020 - March 31, 2021), EA will "add at least one more sports title to our annual slate," the company said in a release.Management added in prepared remarks that these new sports games might be developed for upcoming next-generation consoles coming from Sony and Microsoft. "New consoles are always an opportunity to drive more innovation in our EA Sports games, as our fans are eager to begin experiencing a new generation of play," EA said.There is no indication as to what the new EA Sports titles might be. EA already makes officially licensed FIFA, NFL, NHL, and NBA video games. EA recently canceled NBA Live 20, though the company said it continues to work with the NBA on a next-gen basketball game to be released later.EA formerly published the Tiger Woods series of PGA Tour golf games, and later made Rory McIlroy PGA Tour in 2015 after EA and Woods parted ways. That game did not resonate very strongly, and EA hasn't released a PGA Tour game since. In 2018, the PGA Tour announced that it granted HB Studios the license to make PGA Tour games, though EA remains involved in some capacity.Another dormant sports franchise at EA is the UFC series. The latest release was 2018's EA Sports UFC 3. In April this year, UFC commentator Jon Anik let slip that EA Sports UFC 4 was in the works, though this has yet to be confirmed.Another franchise that could be primed for revival at EA is the NCAA series. EA made college sports games for years before it stopped due to lawsuits and other matters involving former players. Just recently, the NCAA announced that student-athletes can profit off their names and likenesses, which seemingly paves the way for EA's NCAA series to return. It's also possible that EA has a new sports game in the works that no one is expecting or that it is an arcade-style game or something else completely. Keep checking back with GameSpot for the latest.If I was a betting man, I'd put money down that EA is talking about EA Sports UFC 4 here given it was already hinted at. Another strong candidate is a college sports game, given the recent NCAA changes and EA's statement that it wants to return to making them. What sports game do you want to see EA add to its lineup? Let us know in the comments down below.It's not just a new sports game that EA is working on to fill out its portfolio. In the earnings report, EA also confirmed that Motive Studios, the team that worked on Battlefront II's story mode and a canceled Star Wars game, is making a new IP.Battlefield developer DICE has "new projects" in the works, including a next-generation Battlefield game. Additionally, BioWare, Maxis, and Criterion are all working on new games. Info from Gamespot.com

The Star Wars: Battlefront series from Electronic Arts is a tremendous commercial success, despite all the hullabaloo about loot boxes and microtransactions. The publisher confirmed in its latest earnings report that the 2015 Star Wars: Battlefront and its 2017 sequel Battlefront II have combined to sell 33 million copies.No details were provided about how the sales numbers break down by title. However, EA did disclose earlier that Battlefront II sold 9 million copies over its first three months in 2017, which compares to 13 million copies sold for the first Battlefront over its first quarter in 2015.With both Battlefront games now combining for 33 million sales, it seems the titles performed very well after their initial releases.EA caught a lot of flak over how Battlefront II allowed players to buy loot boxes--which contained items that affected gameplay--for real money. This controversy led to a global discussion about loot boxes, and various lawmakers around the world began looking into best practices. In the United States, the ESRB has begun to place stickers on game boxes to inform purchasers about whether or not a game has loot boxes. Additionally, Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo have announced plans for further disclosures about loot boxes.33 million in sales for both Battlefront games is a huge number, but it only begins to describe how much money the games are bringing in. Battlefront II got rid of loot boxes, but the game does have numerous microtransactions available for players, and EA's live services--which cover these microtransactions--are booming at the publisher right now. Impacting the profitability of the Battlefront games is the fact that EA must pay Disney/Lucasfilm a licensing fee. Terms of EA's deal with Disney are unknown, however.There is no word yet on if EA will make Star Wars: Battlefront 3, though given the success of the first two games that seems likely. The franchise is developed by DICE, which is making a next-generation Battlefield title and another mysterious title.EA's next Star Wars games is Jedi Fallen Order, which launches on November 15 for PS4, Xbox One, and PC. This game is not expected to be as popular as either Battlefront title, as EA is modeling sales of 6-8 million copies during its launch quarter. Info from Gamespot.com

BioWare continues to work on Dragon Age 4, but don't expect it to release anytime soon. Electronic Arts CFO Blake Jorgensen said on an earnings call that Dragon Age 4 is likely still two or more years away from releasing.He said fans can expect to play Dragon Age 4 after Fiscal Year 2022. That period runs from April 1, 2021 through March 31, 2022, so fans shouldn't expect Dragon Age 4 until April 2022 at the very soonest. Jorgensen said "plans are underway for that product," which makes it sound like it's still early days for Dragon Age 4.After much speculation, Dragon Age 4's first teaser was shown during The Game Awards in December 2018. A brief teaser trailer showed some slow pans across artifacts, and a hashtag that likely hints at a central story figure. It read, "The Dread Wolf Rises."In a 2018 blog post, BioWare's Mark Darrah confirmed that Dragon Age 4 has been in the works for "quite a while." Some of the "core" team that worked on the previous Dragon Age games are back for the new one, while BioWare's plan is to "push BioWare's storytelling to the next level."Dragon Age 4's creative director is Matthew Goldman. He said BioWare has put together its "strongest team yet" to work on the new Dragon Age. He called it the "most epic quest ever."Dragon Age 4 may not be the only title BioWare is working on right now, as Jorgensen added that BioWare has other titles in the works, though he did not name them.The Dragon Age franchise hasn't seen a new release since 2014's Dragon Age: Inquisition. That game was well received and it was a commercial success. Info from Gamespot.com

Sons of Anarchy and Mayans creator Kurt Sutter has spoken up to offer his thoughts on why he thinks Disney fired him. In a statement to cast and crew regarding his firing, Sutter referred to himself as an "abrasive dick," and now he's shared more insight, including details on an off-color joke he made about Walt Disney.Speaking to Deadline, Sutter said he thinks he was seen as a "loose cannon" who did not fit in well with Disney's family friendly approach."I believe that decision to un-tether myself from corporate process is what led to my dismissal," he said. "In their eyes I was a loose cannon, who could ultimately besmirch the family friendly brand. And they were right. It was best for all parties to part ways."Sutter created Sons of Anarchy, Mayans, and The Bastard Executioner for Fox. Disney acquired Fox and these franchises earlier this year, and as part of this, he became a Disney employee.Sutter is in a tricky place now, as he is on contract with Disney "for another year." Ideally, he would like Disney to pay him out of his contract and let him loose "so that we all can heal and move on."Sutter also spoke about he was becoming "burned out" after working so frantically on Sons of Anarchy, The Bastard Executioner, Mayans, and other projects over the years. As a result, he said he was become more and more frustrated. He said he was losing patience and he was no longer feeling very inspired to collaborate.The timing, with Disney acquiring Fox as Sutter was feeling this way, led to a bad situation, Sutter said."In this transitional phase, from one regime to the next, stability is key. You want to try and make it as smooth as possible," Sutter said. "You have brands combining here, and so everybody is upside down and worried anyway. So you really need a lot of stability."He added: "Then you plug my personality into those two circumstances? That's what didn't hold together. Had this gone down two or three years from now, when the transition was over and people were more settled, there may have been a different response to it."Also in the interview, Sutter spoke about how his relationship with Disney began to crumble after he wrote a joke--"not a very good one," in his eyes--for Mayans that executives were unhappy with. Go to Deadline to read more about what Sutter had to say about this dark humour joke and what happened behind the scenes as a result of it.There is no word yet on what Sutter will do next.

Red Dead Redemption 2 is finally coming to PC. In fact, it won't be too long until you're able to jump in and live the wild west life of Arthur Morgan, as it releases next week. There are plenty of ways you can pre-order Red Dead Redemption 2 on PC, but the most interesting option for those in the US and Canada might just come from digital games retailer Green Man Gaming.When you pre-order Red Dead Redemption 2 on PC at Green Man Gaming, you get a bonus code for a spin of the site's Wheel of Credit. The Wheel of Credit will net you at least $4 of credit, but if you're lucky like me, you could hit the largest amount of $50. Yep, I can't believe I actually got that much either.See Red Dead Redemption 2 (PC) at Green Man GamingAfter spinning, you'll get a voucher code that can be redeemed for a gift card. You just need to add a gift card of the same amount to your cart and then put your code into the designated spot--once you do that, you'll get the gift card for free. On its FAQ page, Green Man Gaming notes the code will eventually expire. We've reached out to clarify what the expiration date is and will update this story with that information.The FAQ also lists your chances of getting each prize.$4 - 93%$5 - 3%$10 - 2%$20 - 1%$50 - 1%In GameSpot's Red Dead Redemption 2 review, the game earned an impressive 9/10."While Red Dead Redemption was mostly focused on John Marston's story, Red Dead 2 is about the entire Van der Linde gang--as a community, as an idea, and as the death rattle of the Wild West," wrote critic Kallie Plagge. "It is about Arthur, too, but as the lens through which you view the gang, his very personal, very messy story supports a larger tale. Some frustrating systems and a predictable mission structure end up serving that story well, though it does take patience to get through them and understand why. Red Dead Redemption 2 is an excellent prequel, but it's also an emotional, thought-provoking story in its own right, and it's a world that is hard to leave when it's done." Info from Gamespot.com

Translating the speed and precision of Call of Duty's multiplayer to a touch screen sounds like a no-brainer. You want the same high-octane action on the go, and now that most phones support Bluetooth controllers, the issue of virtual buttons and joysticks bogging down the experience is a moot point. It's both curious and surprising then that Call of Duty Mobile not only doesn't make use of more traditional controllers, but that it also doesn't feel like it needs to. Its smart control scheme is core to why this scaled-down version of one of the most popular shooters in the world doesn't make drastic compromises to get there.Call of Duty Mobile is like a greatest hits tour of the best aspects of the series' console multiplayer. It features the most popular game modes and some of the best maps from Modern Warfare and the first two instalments of Black Ops, faithfully recreated to give you the same sight lines and choke points you're familiar with. It looks great, too. Playing on an iPhone 11, I was surprised at how much detail is packed into each map while the game sticks to a silky-smooth frame rate, only briefly dipping with large amounts of action on the screen or out in the more graphically challenging open environments of the included Battle Royale mode. Weapons feature their signature punchy animations and sound effects, killstreaks retain their destructive glamor, and a variety of cosmetic options keep things from drowning in boring military styles. There's no mistaking it: This is Call of Duty.It does, however, leave out controller support, despite Android and iOS supporting it widely. Instead you have to use on-screen touch controls, with a handful of buttons and two virtual joysticks controlling the action. First-person games with this type of control scheme have been attempted numerous times, and they've hardly stuck. The inability to continue firing while both moving and adjusting your aim is the issue, typically requiring you to sacrifice one or the other to use a finger to hit the trigger. This is how both Fortnite and PUBG work on mobile, but Call of Duty Mobile gives you numerous options to tweak it for the better.The default mode removes manual shooting altogether. Instead of tapping a button to fire, it's triggered automatically when you keep your reticle fixed on an enemy for a short amount of time, which is drastically reduced if you're also aiming down the sights. This lets you focus on keeping aim on an opponent at all times without having to temporarily stand still to hit fire, allowing the action in Call of Duty Mobile to remain fast and fluid. Additional options allow you to make minute changes to the controls, too. You can choose which type of weapons use automatic or manual firing (snipers, for example, benefit from more precise firing) and finely adjust how closely you need to be aiming at an enemy to trigger a shot. Its flexibility lets you experiment with what setup suits your playstyle best while keeping everyone using the same input method for balance, and it works really well.A well-placed action bar at the bottom of the screen and contextual buttons for equipment, like grenades and killstreaks, keeps all your actions within reach, letting you tap them quickly enough to not seriously affect your ability to continue moving and shooting. Battle Royale also includes the same automatic pickup systems featured in Black Ops 4's Blackout, and feels far more suited for this constricted control scheme. Attachments and weapons that outrank those you currently have will automatically be picked up and equipped as you hover over them, while additional ammunition and healing items will be added in the same breath. There are instances where you'll have to dive into your item menu and make quick, small changes to suit your preferences, and navigating this on such a small screen is cumbersome. But for all the potential areas where Call of Duty Mobile might have had a problem with its interface, it approaches the majority of them with smart solutions that let you just focus on the action without worry.Being free-to-play, Call of Duty Mobile does come with a recognizable suite of microtransactions and blind loot boxes for you to purchase, the majority of which only contain cosmetic items such as weapons and equipment skins. It's typical for the game to bombard you with messages when launched about new in-game currency offers, Battle Pass exclusives, seasonal events, and more, which is frustrating if you're just trying to log in for a quick game. Whenever you earn a loot box through natural progression, you'll be reminded of how much better its contained loot would be had you splurged on the Battle Pass, offering yet another pop-up to route you towards its purchase. Call of Duty Mobile is unrelenting in the way it tries to steer you towards options that require your credit card, but thankfully it has a miniscule impact on gameplay.Traditional progression governs when you unlock new weapons and equipment, and there's no way to pay money to speed this process up. As you rank up, you'll unlock new custom class slots, tactical equipment, weapons across all classes, and special weapons that you can use in a similar fashion to the hero abilities in Black Ops 4. Where it deviates is with weapon attachments. Each weapon you use has an associated level. The more you use a weapon, the more attachments you unlock for it. Although you can't outright purchase new weapons, you can purchase weapon XP vouchers that can drastically speed up the process of unlocking attachments for them. With just a few you can take a brand-new weapon to its maximum level in a few seconds, circumventing the grinding you'd have to put in otherwise.This can give you an advantage, as spending money could allow you to more quickly unlock a precise red dot sight to improve your aim or a foregrip to steady your shots. It is easy enough to earn these vouchers through regular play, which mitigates the gap between paying and non-paying players to an extent, but if you're not looking to spend anything you'll have to play a couple of games with a slight disadvantage once you've settled on a new weapon. But once you've reached the maximum level for your preferred weapon, the playing field is entirely even again.Beyond its messy microtransaction menus and the slight time-saving purchases, there's not much else in Call of Duty Mobile that detracts from its faithful recreation of the exhilarating and fast-paced multiplayer action of the core series. It's flexible and easy-to-use control scheme mitigates the lack of controller support, and its celebration of the best modes and maps the Black Ops and Modern Warfare series have produced makes it a pleasure to line up game after game.Info from Gamespot.com
