Activision Talks Sequels
Publishing arm Activision has hinted at new versions of three of its most lucrative titles. Speaking at an event in New York held by in-game advertising firm Massive, the company briefly discussed sequels to three key franchises; Call of Duty, Tony Hawk and Guitar Hero.
Speaking in regards to its newly announced in-game ad deal with Massive, Activision presented a screenshot of what it referred to as “Guitar Hero 5” featuring a Burger King ad on the screen to describe how the ad deal would work.
During the event Activision went on to say that the next Tony Hawk game will play differently to previous iterations of the series. MTV Multiplayer reports the company as saying “you’re not going to be playing this game with a controller in your hands.” The next Tony Hawk game is expected to launch on the Xbox 360, PS3, Wii and DS in October.
Finally, the company spoke (again, briefly) about the next iteration of Call of Duty. The upcoming sequel, expected to be launching before the year ends, was referred to as Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. No details on the game were released, though the franchise’s development cycles and newest name is making enough hints for itself.
Liverpool-based developer Bizarre Creations – the outfit responsible for the Project Gotham Racing series, now an Activision subsidiary – explained that it was working on a new James Bond title, as well as a game the developer described as "Mario Kart meets Forza."
i would like to see a racing game with damage .to take out the deliberet crashing of compition.and one can win that way.and that is the one thing that i dont like about arcade racing .you can make 2 ways to play arcade or sim.and like some games the car sounds dont match .and why not model cars after some ones real hot rod .and allso new factory cars.some thing with old school and new school like my favorit racing game is gt2 all it needed was better graghics.i read one comment that about doing certine races.well thats to class cars.but there should be more then 3 laps more like 10.never raced online but would love to with a good game and to be able have and build a car like what i have in real life .racing aganst others for compition.and keep the racing on the track not on the streets
Stop the press! Enormous publisher churns out more tired sequels to established cash-cows!
Normally I would agree, but COD: Modern Warfare 2, mmmmmm, can't wait.
