Activision has drastically reduced the number of games it releases these days. The company remains focused on core franchises like its two Call of Duty games, including Treyarch’s Call of Duty: Black Ops 2, and popular Skylanders toys and games. But while many publishers have moved away from Hollywood licensed games, Activision still dabbles in them. You just don’t hear a lot about some of these games, including the new Battleship game from developer Double Helix.
Cheat software provider EngineOwning will pay Call of Duty creator Activision nearly $15 million in damages and legal fees.
This is what developers and manufacturers should do. I know going after cheat devices/makers is a cat and mouse game, and cost money. However, they can get that money back by sueing these manufacturers of cheat devices. Take a page from Nintendo's playbook.
Microsoft's Activision subsidiary announced today that it is opening a new game development studio to take advantage of the huge talent pool growing in Poland. It'll be the second Activision studio based in the region, joining Infinity Ward Krakow, although this studio is, in fact, not working on Call of Duty.
The details for multiple future Call Of Duty games appear to have leaked, including a follow-up to Advanced Warfare.
nothing about the movie looked appealing.
I decided to wait and go see prometheus instead. Should be sweet.
Good. Whoever "Ok'd" all of this, should be kicked in the balls/vagina.
Activision's game and the movie flops? This is great news. I was rooting for this to happen.
Take a hint Hollywood...Get some originality and stop flocking to these untalented writers and directors.
Prometheus, Avengers, MIB3...these are movies people want to see. But Battleship? You would have to pay me to see this.
I Loved Battleship its a really good movie.
