Infinity Ward, the developer of the popular Call of Duty franchise and Neversoft, famous for their Tony Hawk and Guitar Hero lineup are revealed to merge this year.
“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. 🤷♂️
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.
Activision developer Infinity Ward has opened a new studio in Austin, Texas, which will work on the Call of Duty franchise.
"Infinity Ward has opened a brand new studio in Austin, TX," reads an advertisement from the developer.
"The studio will work on creating new and innovative experiences for Call of Duty and create state of the art technology to power them. Our studio provides a safe, trusting, and empowering environment to unleash your creativity and help make the extraordinary."
Another dev team for call of duty, like there isn't enough currently........ yayyyy
Well this atleast partly confirms yearly releases are definitely remaining, doubling down if anything.
Neversoft nooo!!!!, I need you in Tony Hawk games ;(
Wait call of duty... On skateboards... Hmmmmm
Na seriously dont sell out neversoft.
A moment of silence, please. RIP Neversoft.
Makes sense. Both studios were working on COD games and IW is too incompetent to make AAA games on their own now that all their talent left the studio. Sucks for Neversoft though.
