Raven? I remember back in the 90s thinking what an awesome studio they were. Maybe there is hope for this new CoD after all?

and by "hope" I don't mean sales. I mean breaking the mold set by Modern Warfare and being a bit of a new standard/benchmark for the series.

Raven has been working on COD since Black Ops 1. They did the DLC maps and user interface in BO&MW3. They make the DLC so the studio can get right to making the next game and patching the old one.

JsonHenry3985d ago

I was completely unaware of this. So basically there is nothing new about Raven helping. Great news story.

csreynolds3985d ago

Oooooooooooooooold news. This information hit the web months ago.

mega313985d ago

Seriously I can tell u this, BF4 already won, because this, it just looks the same, and three different companies working on it, Yikes

famoussasjohn3985d ago

You didn't watch the video they showed yesterday then. The jungle they showed us looked pretty damn impressive, especially for COD standards.

Cueil3985d ago

is there a skateboarding section of the game or is Tony Hawk going to make a cameo?

mega313985d ago

They take talented companies and just make them work on a generic shooter, like seriously Stop, your all ruining the game

r213985d ago

Poor Raven :C Really wished Activision would give Singularity another chance and give it a proper sequel. Loved that game.

Cancelled Call of Duty Game "NX1" Gameplay Footage, Black Ops 4 "War" Mode" Surface

A cancelled Call of Duty game titled "NX1" had footage surface online, along with a Black Ops 4 unreleased mode called "War."

RaidenBlack81d ago

looks like the OG Infinite Warfare

Profchaos81d ago

Yeah it does look good wonder why it was canned

EvertonFC81d ago

Probably a proper game with no MT and they didn't see any profits 😂🤣

Name Last Name81d ago

That Neversoft logo took me back to Tony Hawk days. Sad to see this cancellation led to the studio closure.

Juancho5181d ago

It’s always sad to see great concepts destroyed so deep into development. They obviously had a lot of ideas and aren’t happy about it. Now withe layoffs even more videos like this will surface soon.

Raven Software Had Projects Cancelled Including COD Zombies Live Service & Sequel to Classic Title

A former Raven Software developer has outed the studio was once working on a standalone live service Call of Duty Zombies game.

It obviously would have been Heretic/Hexen. With the resurgence of DOOM, Wolfenstein, and "Boomer Shooters" in general, it's a good time to bring back these older franchises. Same with Quake and Unreal.

DefenderOfDoom296d ago (Edited 96d ago )

Oh my goodness I would love a new Hexxen ,Heretic single player game !. Also I would absolutely love to play a new SINGLARITY game which was one of my favorite video games from the PS3 ,Xbox 360 generation.

porkChop96d ago

Singularity was great. It's a shame it didn't get a sequel.

rlow196d ago

We need a sequel to singularity. It was really a fun inventive game. Hopefully Raven doesn’t continue to get stuck with Call of Duty anymore.

rlow195d ago (Edited 95d ago )

Raven is a great studio. Hopefully now, they can move onto something different. A studio that was getting stuck with ten years of Call of Duty stuff, must of sucked.

Fearmonkey95d ago

Heretic is the number one game I'd love a reboot of, less Hexen more Hereitc though, more fast pace with lots of weapons. Love a reboot/remaster of Heretic 2, thats a game you cant find these days in a store

Xbox Boss Says He Will Recognize Raven Software's Union After Acquisition Closes

Phil Spencer says that Microsoft will recognize the first AAA video game union once the acquisition is complete.

Number1TailzFan693d ago

Still disappointed they sold the Soldier of Fortune series to Cauldron.. Why Raven why?

PhillyDillyDee693d ago

I mean, its a good show of faith by the corpo giant, but they have to legally recognize them regardless.

lodossrage693d ago

not sure why anyone would give you a disagree. It's the truth, they have to honor it no matter what PR message is said.

senorfartcushion693d ago

Idiots with the brains of 90 year old pensioners?

lodossrage692d ago

@KillBill

If you read that fully, you'd realize that unless they negotiated with the employees otherwise, they would still have to honor it because the union was created before the Activision purchase was closed

Aloymetal693d ago

Yes, yes. We know you love to say a lot of things.

anast693d ago

I doesn't matter. Raven's Union will have zero power when it counts. Everyone knows this.
