Call of Duty 5 Autumn 2008

[Bald Bouncer]

Activision held their quarterly conference call yesterday and spilled the beans on what they have planned for 2008/early 2009.

The big news is that Tony Hawk is getting a huge makeover according to Mike Griffith, President and CEO of Activision Publishing:

Over the past six months, we’ve been working reengineer the Tony Hawk brand. We started with a deep dive evaluation of our approach to the genre and new trends in the videogame market. Then we conducted a significant amount of consumer research and testing to better understand the types of innovations that consumers want from this brand.

I guess this is what happens when you stop being the only game in town and a newcomer (in this case, EA's Skate) pulls in a crowd too.

Griffith also talked about the next entries in the Guitar Hero series (which should ship sometime between April and June) and made a few remarks about the series appearing on new platforms, "headlining" bands and new hardware innovations.

So, while cryptic, it certainly sounds like Guitar Hero for the DS and Guitar Hero: Aerosmith could become a reality. But the "hardware innovations" quote could mean anything, maybe "Drum Villain" (which Activision owns the trademark to) is closer than we think.
Finally, the company confirmed that Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 and a new Spider-Man game are coming this fall. They've also confirmed that Call of Duty 5 is coming to the PC, PS3, Xbox 360, DS, PS2 and Wii.

Here's the full list of what Activision has lined up for the rest of the year and into early 2009:

April - June 2008

Kung Fu Panda (six platforms)

2 Guitar Hero Spinoffs

Fall 2008

Call of Duty 5 (PS3, Xbox 360, DS, PC, PS2, Wii)

Guitar Hero 4

Next Tony Hawk

Quantum of Solace (Bond 22)

Madagascar: The Crate Escape

Kung Fu Panda Followup

Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2

Next Spider-Man

Early 2009

Monsters Versus Aliens (Dreamworks Animation)

Any cod game not made by Infinity Ward is a waste of time IMHO. COD 3 was liked but it pales in comparison to COD 2 and COD 4.

oh dear treyarch - and too soon for decent sequel

[dave2014]

I thought all the Call of Duties where quality games, although it does seem a bit quick for a sequel. Makes sense that it was being developed a while ago by someone other than infinity ward if its coming out this soon

A COD once every second year would be enough.

[lloydi]

ah fuck it will hire it and give it a bash no doubt, time will tell i spose

[tornadotaz]

only time will tell but if its good like cod 4 then cant wait

[HELPERS]

PS3 and PC only would be commercial suicide for a massive cross platform game like COD.

PS3 just doesn't have the user base, and PC games simply don't make enough money because of mass piracy.

It'll be on the 360, sell loads, and even if Infinity Ward don't produce it, we'll probably all play it anyway.
