Do it with everything you own! DUH! At least that’s Activision’s plan. After their ‘Hero’ games hit saturation level and stopped making them billions of dollars Activision had to ‘go back to the drawing board’. With the lackluster sales of Tony Hawk’s most recent game they couldn’t go there. So, they thought ‘Hey, Call of Duty just made us even richer than we were, by a lot, why don’t we exploit that and make the public sick of that franchise?’
Well, that’s what they’re doing. Activision is still whipping at the backs of Treyarch for this years Call of Duty game and they’re going to have two developers working on COD games for 2011. The newly formed Sledgehammer games(lead by the Dead Space team ship-jumpers) and a yet to be named studio will be working on them.
I don’t know if this is why, but I can understand if this plan is what upset Vince Zampella and Jason West so much that they’re no longer with Infinity Ward, the Activision owned studio they founded. It’s like someone wants to start exploiting your child without your permission. Activision is worse than a pageant mother, it’s a foster pageant mother.
