Robert Bowling Abandons Call of Duty, Respawn Entertainment Next Move? - Unscripted Access #1

"Robert Bowling calls it quits on Infinity Ward, Zipper Interactive possibly being shut down by Sony, LittleBigPlanet Karting emerges, Prey 2 likely cancelled by Bethesda Softworks, and much more. After numerous requests to launch a brand new audio podcast on The Gamer Access with an unscripted format similar to what they have done previously with shows such as their CES 2012 Recap, Unscripted Access is finally here!"

I wouldn't be surprised if some of his old buddies over at respawn showed him some early footage of their upcoming game and offered him a deal... In theory, that might have happened.

Who cares what some random IW employee is going to do next? COD has been auto pilot for how many years now?

Hey, show a little respect. The guy has to work on a million dollar franchise, try his best to generate positive hype for it AND deal with a lot of haters. Take the CoD name out of the equation and suddenly you see him as a pretty respectable guy.

Who gives a fucking fuck?.

Im more worried about Prey 2 been dump than the fucking rest!

I don't see why so many people hate him. Whether or not you liked his work, I don't see why anyone should hate him.

Good luck Bob, I wouldnt tell future employers that you where " creative strategist " for COD ( one of the most un-creative games year after year ) if I where you. Shit, you're better off saying you used to make Wii games.

I thought MW3 had some really cool additions. The kill-streak system was completely revamped, weapon specialization, new modes (Team Defender, Kill Confirmed, etc), improved UI (HUD looks better). Also, Call of Duty Elite is probably one of the best, if not the best, stat tracking service on consoles (followed by Halo and BF).

However, the game play and fundamentals are still the same old Call of Duty that millions of gamers love.

Having CoD on his resume would sound astounding to any publisher.

"Okay, sure, you're qualified. But what have you worked on?"

"Call of Duty."

"The same one that sold over millions of copies in the first week?"

"Yep."

"YOU'RE HIRED."

Think Michael Bay. His movies suck, but they make tons of money, so they hire him some more.
