Gameskinny - Last week I had the opportunity to see Call of Duty: Ghosts in action at the Activision pre-E3 event before the Xbox Reveal today. The new game engine technology behind Ghosts is quite impressive, as is the decision to go with a new story and new characters. Also intriguing is Infinity Ward’s decision to continue to work with Hollywood talent. This time, acclaimed director Stephen Gaghan has embedded himself in the game’s production. The Modern Warfare games, and more recently Black Ops II with David S. Goyer in the Hollywood spotlight, have focused on cinematic storytelling.
The legal battle for the acquisition of Activision Blizzard continues, with Microsoft countering one of the FTC's latest moves and the Judge delaying a relevant ruling.
Look, to be honest the FTC should just stop.
MS has A/B and nothing has really changed yet...if you are worried about 5-10 years from now...just drop it cause the future is unpredictable.
Take this week's news, that 4 Xbox exclusive are going Multiplatform.
The FTC and the lawyers behind the "Gamers' lawsuit" against Microsoft over the acquisition of Activision Blizzard are denouncing the recent layoffs within the respective legal battles.
“Jason and Vince just got fired!” A lead artist shouted, as he rode in on one of the many small kick-push scooters that would typically lay around the studio. He quickly scooted away to some other part of the office space to spread that shocking message.
A friend worked there in production and was miserable due to working with IW and with ATVI. When he complained to his VP about it, he was told...be glad you have a job and are making games.
Sounds about right, but is also sounds like something Infinity Ward would say. They made their own bed and cashed in hard to do it. F em.
That sucks, but that’s corporate America. I mean, they could’ve turned down the money and leave to Respawn too. At least they got something, my corporation would’ve probably expected everyone to go back to normal.
daaaym
"oh we're running ur life? pff get over it, like honestly"
scum
I mean, if my company wants to give me a bonus and raise my salary by 50%, I'd get over whatever the hell they wanted me to. 🤷♂️
This game looks even better than MW3, but it's the dynamic maps that should be interesting for multiplayer.
Rubin did a great job at the event.
I just kept thinking of Rick rubin the whole time and the famous music he recorded.
I wasn't really impressed with the Ghosts reveal to be honest. I was actually expecting more.
Looked lovely, high detail on the faces and very nice looking clothing textures.
Now the gameplay, Cod gameplay always felt a bit plain to me, wonder if this one will have a bit more fleshed out features
