Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Might Be Relying Too Heavily On Nostalgia

It’s becoming increasingly clear just how powerful nostalgia can be, especially when it comes to the entertainment industry. Though new IP is often some of the most creatively interesting projects in the entertainment industry, it’s sequels and remakes that are usually the ones making the most money, with audiences being much more willing to invest their money into an IP that they already know and love, regardless of its actual quality. While this certainly isn’t a new concept, nostalgia has definitely become one of the most powerful marketing tools, and even upcoming AAA games like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 are embracing that tool fully.
