Shooters
The holiday season, a time for giving as much as it is a time to splurge on the hottest new releases, always sees the release of major first and third-person shooters. This year, EA has two first-person shooters that will be released in an attempt to dethrone Activision’s stranglehold on the genre. Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare, Battlefield 1, and Titanfall 2 will all cost $60 at launch, so dedicated FPS gamers will have to fork over $180 for the standard editions alone. If you have an Xbox One or a Windows 10 PC, you can buy Gears of War 4 for $60 as well. These four major shooters will cost you around $240, but wait till you see how expensive the collector’s editions are.
Titanfall 2’s Vanguard Edition will run $250 when it is released on October 28 and the Deluxe Edition costs $80. Battlefield 1’s Early Enlister Deluxe Edition is listed at $80, but Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare’s Legacy Edition may be the best snag. It costs $80 and comes with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered for the current generation of consoles. Gears of War 4: Ultimate Edition is $100, and this includes the Season Pass for DLC and an Early Access code, which allows gamers to play four days earlier on Oct. 7. Total, all of the premium editions will run players $510, and we’re only just getting started.
