Bobby Kotick Announces New CoD Studio

February 09, 2011 in News comments 7

Bobby Kotick is an entity that can't be stopped. When he's not making you angry or killing your favorite games, he's announcing new games or new studios to make these new games. Today, he continues his trend by announcing a new Call of Duty studio.

It’s been a relatively above-average day in the gaming industry. Borderlands 2 was announced, Battlefield 3 was confirmed to be a true PC game, and Kevin Butler accidentally tweeted the PS3 root key.

To end the night, we have one final piece of news, straight from gaming’s beloved monopolist, Bobby Kotick.

    Plus we loose 3 major titles, two of which are major franchise, DJ Hero, Guitar Hero, and the soon to be released True Crime: Hong Kong.

    Seems Activision no longer want to run the Single Player route, concentrating on "online interactive" gaming.

    Shame Kotic - shame.

    I don't care about DJH or GH but TCHK is a shame.

    Oh well one Activision game that I would actually bought I can't.So on the bright side, less or no money for AV from me.

    I don't even know any AV games/franchises I'm even into.I don't play Warcraft, Starcraft or COD so what else is there?

    So that is now five Call of Duty focused developers..

    Infinity Ward (Single Player/Multiplayer)
    Treyarch (Single Player/Multiplayer)
    Sledgehammer (Single Player/Multiplayer)
    Raven (Multiplayer only)
    Beachhead (Digital Distribution)

    So at any one time now there are at least 3 games in the Call of Duty franchise being made, while Raven works on the DLC maps and now Beachhead works on micro downloads and smaller chunks of content.

      With so many studios working on COD, we'll probably see an increase of games to year, it'll now be about 3-4 COD games a year.

      That is until they over-saturate the market just like with GH and then COD finally once and for all dies.

    Yeah this was worth cancelling other promising games for

    3 Cod games in a year.....seriously did they learn nothing from the death of Guitar Hero??

      They weren't trying to learn anything, merely make as much money off the games as they could. And now CoD is slated for the same shit. And, for once I think it's a good decision just because how *bleep*ing boring CoD is getting. Same shit rehashed, new guns, nothing different.

    *facepalm*

    The most common complaint of the COD franchise lately has been people criticizing the publisher's favor of quantity versus quality of COD titles. Gamers would rather developers spend more time fine-tuning their titles instead of cranking them out year after year like clockwork.

    Contracting another studio to develop another COD title isn't helping!
