Polygon: ''Following Call of Duty: Ghosts official reveal during Microsoft's Xbox One event, Infinity Ward announced that Raven Software and Neversoft supported the studio during Ghosts development.''
A cancelled Call of Duty game titled "NX1" had footage surface online, along with a Black Ops 4 unreleased mode called "War."
That Neversoft logo took me back to Tony Hawk days. Sad to see this cancellation led to the studio closure.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
Phil Spencer says that Microsoft will recognize the first AAA video game union once the acquisition is complete.
Still disappointed they sold the Soldier of Fortune series to Cauldron.. Why Raven why?
I mean, its a good show of faith by the corpo giant, but they have to legally recognize them regardless.
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.
@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
I doesn't matter. Raven's Union will have zero power when it counts. Everyone knows this.
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.
Oooooooooooooooold news. This information hit the web months 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
is there a skateboarding section of the game or is Tony Hawk going to make a cameo?
Poor Raven :C Really wished Activision would give Singularity another chance and give it a proper sequel. Loved that game.
