UK, December 3, 2007 - Activision Blizzard has confirmed that Call of Duty 5 and Guitar Hero 4 are both in development just hours after news of the company's merger hit the wire. And while the news is unlikely to come as a shock, if Activision Blizzard's recent boasts are anything to go by we could see both of the series reaching bigger and better heights.
Indeed, during a conference call held today Activision CEO Robert Kotick and Jean-Benard Levy spoke of the company's huge projected success and hinted that many of Activision's franchise could learn a lot from the success of World of Warcraft, which has 9.3 million users across the world. More specifically, Kotick expressed a distinct interest in the subscription model employed by the WoW developer, although quite how it will work with Activision's other franchises - including a new racing title from the freshly-acquired Bizarre Creations - remains to be seen. One thing is for sure, World of Warcraft won't be coming to console any time soon, with Levy categorically stating that a current-gen version of the game was most certainly not in the works.
In a press release posted along with the call, the combined company outlined some of the pipelined games that the Activision side of Activision Blizzard will be contributing to the mnerger and releasing in the near future. (Vivendi/Sierra/Blizzard of course have Starcraft II as well as several other titles in production.) Included in the list are:
* Guitar Hero IV
* Call of Duty 5
* James Bond (2008)
* Tony Hawk (new - 10th franchise entry)
* New Dreamworks Titles (various franchises)
* New Marvel Titles (various franchises)
* Bizarre Creations' New Entry in Racing (following September 2007 acquisition)
No further detailers were announced for any of these titles, and no platform plans were listed for the games listed. IGN will have more on all of these games hopefully early in 2008.

the july 2008 edition of the uk oxm did and exclusive on the game. the game is subtitled "return to iwo jima" and i think it is set in japan. the game is still under development.
the game looks very nice, great graphics and seems like loads of fun. however, i do not like first-person shooters so don't think i'll like it.
just wanted to find out, has anyone played raibow six las vegas and is it a first or third person shooter and what dyu think about the game army of two?

Rainbow six vegas is a first person shooter but it switches to third person when you hide behind something And thus allows you to fire, move crouch etc in third person. I didnt really get excited with army of two, but the multiplayer was fun. |
