Right lets get the sad out the way first some people lost there jobs boo hoo.
Rightt simpathy over;
http://kotaku.com/5483348/report-strang ... ard-president-oustedThen we have this;
http://kotaku.com/5483412/deja-vu--surrounds-infinity-ward-rumorsAnd finally;
http://kotaku.com/5483427/activision-ci ... ward-insubordinationTwo things really;
1)If true; Good job on those guys for standing up and saying there not interested in more COD. You've realized it's crap and you want out good job.
2)These where important guys how well is the studio going to do without them? I mean..well thinking on it they only need to cut and paste the exact last game and people buy it so i suppose they'll be fine till the franchise is ****** out and worthless.
Rather funny thing how ******* it must be to have them as your publisher i hope more walk out and it gets left up to the other, lesser studio to make COD games. That would please me.
edit:
http://kotaku.com/5484046/infinity-ward ... r-creative-directionAh there we go. They wanted to make a new IP and Activision wanted to ***** out the franchise even more. It's rather amusing I've not got a drop of experiance in the video game industry and yet i can see what these morons can't.
You've got 3 big franchises guitar hero, WOW and COD. Anyone with a bit of common sense knows unless you expanded and create more you're taking a massive risk year in year out and you can't be supported on those franchises forever. Yet these morons refuse to allow them to create a new IP, do new things even though they have PROVEN to know how to make a decent game.
INSTEAD they stamp on them for disagreeing. What there not realizing is they don't own the people they own the studio. The studio is **** all without the talent and unless you treat them right (see not forcing them to make the same game yearly) you'll have trouble.
