7 Games That Call Of Duty: Advanced Warfare Is “Borrowing” From

So, there it is then. The new trailer for Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare. Except, it's a franchise that's now basically synonymous with creating its sequels using "ctrl + V" shortcuts, so how much of it is really new? It's not a series in its death throes, by any stretch of the imagination, and even middle-of-the-road reviews for last year's Ghosts couldn't stop it from selling $1 billion worth of units in just 24 hours. But overall - compared with the previous Black Ops 2 numbers - sales were down.

I bet if I let you stand there for 50 years listing the games you thought would be in this article, the N64’s Star Wars: Episode I Racer would never crop up. But look at that screenshot above and tell me that isn’t pure LucasFilm. I mean LucasArts. I mean Disney. God, I don’t know. But look, whatever it is, it’s a space opera floaterbike.

The horrifying point of this is that it seems to confound my worst fears about a new Call of Duty game: on-rails driving sections. Quite what the developers seem to think about player’s enjoyment of these sections remains a mystery, and jumping a giant chasm in a Ski-Doo was just about the limit for me – so having to fly a bloody Podracer around to escape some neo-terrorist in a heavily scripted action sequence would probably be the nail in CoD’s coffin.
