Activision-Call of Duty Inc.

Featuring products from Blizzard

 

[mjc]

I'm so tired of waiting for Blizzard games. Goddamnit.

 

[Takao]

Apparently they're also making a new Spyro.

lolololol

That sure is a new IP.

 

[No_Style]

They did the exact same with GH. But this time it's worse, not only is it going to destroy a brand, it's going to destroy a genre.

I think the first person shooter genre is a bit more resilient than that.

Unless we're considering Call of Duty games a genre on its own.

Spoiler

In before: shitty P2P FPS remarks

 

[Pooya]

lolololol

That sure is a new IP.

it's being made by http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toys_For_Bob apparently (via supererogatory) . their list of games are pretty sad , from Star Control to licensed stuff.

 

[apana]

Spyro for all consoles, reboot?

 

[smokeymicpot]

Cod free to play is odd. Guess you are gonna are gonna need to pay for the guns.

 

[domlolz]

profit profit profit profit 500 people unemployed profit profit profit profit shareholders profit profit sell sell sell profit fart shareholders are pleased profit profit profit

 

[BloodySinner]

Keeping milking franchises to death Activision. What are you going to do when people get tired of CoD?

Move on to the next thing and squeeze THAT to death?

 

[dragonflys545]

I want Diablo 3 so fucking bad! Release it this year please

each virtual bullet costs just 5 kotixs! and for 2 extra kotix you can customise the colour and even add a humourous message to your bullet!

Spyro nooooo

 

[Rush2thestart]

Anything about the James Bond titles? Specifically Goldeneye?

Man... that's almost depressing. Hey, they did make Pandemonium though! So they have some experience with platformers

To be fair to Spyro, Toys for Bob seem to be really excited about, so it could potentially be a good game.
And they've constatly said it is remiscent of their "classic" games. So there's that.

maybe it's good, you never know.

I hope it's a Spyro game that plays exactly like Star Control 2, but with Spyro instead of a space ship.

 

[V_Ben]

Im keeping an open mind For a licensed game, the madagascar stuff wasn't bad. If they're excited, then I am

Now I want a new crash though.

 

[Hero of Legend]

I hope by classic they mean classic Spyro. I'm sick of the Legend series, DOTD was good, but it's been too long since we last saw classic Spyro.

 

[AzureNightmare]

I imagine with the cancellation of Guitar Hero they will come up with something insipid like cooking hero or babysitter hero to release this fall.

Call of Mama?

 

[Nirolak]

Like this Activision.

Feel free to replace the guy with Spyro.

 

[Hero of Legend]

His source for the Spyro info:

@GoldMetalSonic Putting things I've seen and heard together and figuring 2 + 2 together.

I'll take his word on it for now, he has a good history.

 

[anaron]

Good. More time for Torchlight 2 to claim its rightful throne.

 

[Scrow]

"Should we not release a major title from Blizzard this year, we would expect for planning purposes to launch a minimum of two Blizzard titles in 2012."

so D3 and SC2 xpac in 2012.

 

[Lothars]

Also, Diablo III and Heart of the Swarm next year (or one of them this year) = hot!

Yeah I have no doubt that Diablo III will be released this year in the summer time I suspect.

 

[Castor Krieg]

Yeah I have no doubt that Diablo III will be released this year in the summer time I suspect.

D3 - Q1-2 2012, WoW Expansion - Q4 2012, Starcraft Zerg - Q1-2 2013.

 

[thehillissilent]

I'm suprised that they aren't doing COD free to play here. They would make loads of money. I guess they figured that most people will still buy the $60 game and then buy as many of the $15 map packs as possible. They should at least make the maps compatible between the games.

 

[Darklord]

I'm so tired of waiting for Blizzard games. Goddamnit.

While I'm all for waiting to get the best possible game do they have to announce them sooooo early? They should have announced Diablo 3 at the latest Blizzcon. Not 3 years ago. Why announce it then go quiet for years?

 

[Scrow]

D3 - Q1-2 2012, WoW Expansion - Q4 2012, Starcraft Zerg - Q1-2 2013.

sc2 exp Q2 2012, D3 Q3-4 2012, wow exp Q4 2012 - Q1 2013

 

[Naeblish]

Yeah i hate it too. Complete bullshit to announce it so early and have people waiting for a game for 3+ years. FROM software does it perfect with Dark Souls, a year before release.

 

[MrBelmontvedere]

Activision also planning games based on Family Guy

this (or these...) will bomb

this will not

 

[Hari Seldon]

Blizzard games are fun and well polished but unless you get into the multiplayer they are not worth the wait imo. I beat SC2 in like 2 weeks and haven't touched it since. That was not worth the wait for me. I will probably ignore D3 since I don't give a fuck about loot whoring anymore.

 

[YakiSOBA]

*Checks out this thread, see's possibility of no D3 in 2011*

or, fuuuuuuuuuuuuck.gif.

 

[Lothars]

D3 - Q1-2 2012, WoW Expansion - Q4 2012, Starcraft Zerg - Q1-2 2013.

Your Crazy, it's gonna be D3 - 2011 Wow Expansion and Starcraft Zerg - 2012.

 

[thehillissilent]

each virtual bullet costs just 5 kotixs! and for 2 extra kotix you can customise the colour and even add a humourous message to your bullet!

They will most likely block progression and have a cap at level 5 or whatever unless you pay. You will probably pay for perks, clothing/armor customizations, use of vehicles, bullet types, and of course additional maps.

 

[Bizzyb]

Has this been Mentioned?

New Spider-Man for 2011

Didn't Shattered Dimensions JUST come out a few months ago?
This has to be the worst run company ever.

Seriously, if it were not for Blizzard and IW's genius, this company would be dead by now. I bet if they had it their way they would release a new WOW expansion every 6 months

 

[Cmagus]

Doesn't SK still have that Xmen game? wonder if that will come this year

I thought the Spiderman game was at least popular.
