Kevin O’Leary, brand manager for Battlefield 3, and Infinity Ward’s Robert Bowling have each spoken to Kotaku regarding the rivalry – be it real or fan imagined – between the two shooters slated for autumn, and both developers are resigned to the fact that “passionate” fan reaction comes as part and parcel with the territory.
Battlefield 3's former Lead Designer has revealed that there were two cut missions from the main campaign
Get rid of campaigns, move the game to mobile, and try to compete with warzone. They would save time and money.
“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. 🤷♂️
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.
Don't let these words fool you though. Both developers have locked horns in, what appears to me, is the biggest rivalry for a multiplatform game.
Nothing comes close to the drama, the degree of speculation and sheer attention to detail, the scrutiny of differences and frequency of debates that has arisen out of this battle between these two behemoths.
There is a lot at stake here and these guys know it more than we do.
What is the point in this petty bs its not like bf3 stands a chance at the main factor which is ofcourse SALES.
publishers will do anything to mislead the press. These 2 games are still at it and I think EA is taking it seriously.
EA wants in on the full "pie".
They may even get a bigger slice this year.
It bugs me when i see that while EA has talent Activision owns the sales but the games are crap. Something needs to be done here and soon.
