- Start date
This will be the CoD Vita title to end all CoD Vita titles.

In a perfect world, we'd all be homersexual
Can't believe there are still no screens, info or previews for this game out there. What are they doing? I predict a phoned-in disaster.

I hope Sony didn't pay too much for this game. lol
Facts can be so misleading, where rumors, true or false, are often revealing.

Actually, the 6 month quote was just a joke. The internet rumor comment isnt related to that. It could mean that Nihlistic have worked on two games at the same time. I'm not sure how likely it is, but just wanted to comment on the 6 month thing.
Smash Bros for WiiU and 3DS was announced over a year ago, even before it went it developement. As to this date, we have not a single piece of information for that game, besides that it will work together with the 3DS/WiiU version somehow.
They announced it at E3. That is where the Declassified subtitle was first announced. So it is not a rumor.

It was announced on January 27th, 2011. Remember the NGP?

True, but it was officially announced at this year's E3. Back then it was just a CoD logo.

Atleast the devs for that has been announced. We still don't even know who is making this, and it's supposed to be coming out this year (i think)

How many people work at Nihlistic?
At this point unless there is a big reveal soon, I don't think its likely they would show a game and then release it a month later.

60-65 people.

That is true. And i forgot about the information that Bandai Namco is also helping. So we know that tiny piece of information.
Over 60 according to their website:
"From this original group of 12 people, the team has carefully grown to over 60 developers today."

Thanks. If that is the case, then Nihilistic seems unlikely to work on CoD Vita.

The Nihilistic rumor might explain why Resistance was so uneven.
If it's not at Gamescom, it won't be coming out this year.

The same reason Sony gave one of their most important properties to them?
It's COD, it's released every year on multiple platforms, it's the same game every year.
There's not much more to show than the name alone can't do
Btw I think that the deadline for them to properly showcase the title is August at Gamescom.
I guess that they're working under a tight development schedule (1 year if not less) so they're delaying the actual presentation as much as they can to show something representative of the final game.

They said "this holiday season" at E3. Game could be delayed of course.

Not really. It could also just tell us the game isn't coming out this year which is more likely considering the complete lack of media.
Source? All I'm getting is a December 31st placeholder.

If the game is a bust on day one, then we better see patches like the console versions see DLC.
Who knows, maybe a new Uncharted portable?

Working on "multiplayer" for Uncharted.

They said "this holiday season" at E3, and ~6 months dev time is very unlikely.
Well they said even at E3 it's coming this year. My guess is they are waiting for a big event again for the reveal. Gamescom could be it
My guess is an Uncharted sequel
Some people speculate that Sony is making the call of Duty for the Vita themselves
COD3 was developed by Treyarch in nine months across like five or six platforms.

From the description of the game given by Wal Mart it sounds like a compilation of spec ops missions anyway. Still I don't ever remember them giving a date.
Depends on how worthy Sony thinks Vita is of an Uncharted sequel. I think they might be making a next gen Syphon Filter personally.
If there was an actual Sony studio working on CoD Vita, we definitely would have heard about it at E3.
And given the scope of this game being based on Spec Ops, rather than a proper campaign, you can definitely imagine that getting done in 6 months time.

E3 was the biggest games event of all year. Sony should have shown it then.

If its not coming out this year, don't bother releasing it next year. The Vita will be 12 feet under by then.

Interesting, do you have any source to this?
Launch period given here:

Yep, the spec ops + multiplayer stuff sounds plausible i think. They usually dont give out multiplayer info for CoD games before ~2 months before the release.
Uh... no? It's a standard FPS. It does nothing really well, but neither does it do anything really terribly.
Why would they?
It's of course made by Activision, and yeah we know it's going to be a spin off made under a tight development schedule.
They have 9 months to make the game, they will try to focus on that and hitting the intended release date.
It's not like Ubisoft has managed to do much better with AC:Liberation, they just made a really short trailer showing the main character at E3.
Gamescom should be more about COD Declassified.
If anything the fact that Sony isn't able to showcase anything about either COD and AC is a prrof that it's not under their control, it's not developed by them.

It could mean a lot of things, really; it could mean that they're going to take advantage of the push notifications to alert players to Spec Op challenges and multiplayer updates, like what Zipper did for Unit 13, or it could mean what you said, and that it'll be a fairly barebones multiplayer experience with a low player count.

It also had 2 vs 2 and 8 player free for all. So "tailored for" can mean much.

We don't actually know this is an FPS though do we? I mean it could be a strategy spin off or anything.

I searched on google for "Call of Duty 3 nine months" and "Call of Duty 3 developement time", but couldnt find anything. Thanks
The most logical explanation is that it was due to an agreement between MS and Acti. It makes sense if you think about it because we have yet to see BO2 on ps3 even.
And I am not too sure if E3 is the biggest event all year now for the gaming industry. Europe is one of Sonys strongest markets and they use Gamescom for some big announcements as well. It will be closer to the launch window of fall also. Time will tell if this line of thinking of mine is correct.
I presume MS has public showings of cod stitched up as per their exclusivity agreement.
You guys do realise that this game is just as important to Sony and Activision this christmas. Sony for driving western adoption of their machine and Activision to promote their premier ip. It's the same reason FIFA got so much love from EA.
