More COD, GH, Spidey, Shrek for 2010 News

News by Robert Purchese

6 November, 2009

Activision boss Mike Griffith has told analysts that in 2010 there will be more Call of Duty, more Guitar Hero, more Spider-Man and more Shrek thank goodness.

"In [calendar year] 2010, Activision Publishing is expected to release strong, innovative new titles. The diversified lineup will include titles based on the best selling franchises including Call of Duty, Guitar Hero, Shrek, [and] Spider-Man," said Griffith during a conference call (listened to by GameSpot).

Hardly unexpected. Back in May, Activision was caught licensing Vietnam War-era music for Call of Duty 7, which will be (true to form) developed by Treyarch. This suggests the Call of Duty series may have left World War II behind forever.

Modern Warfare 2 will be released this Tuesday 10th November. Infinity Ward's game is expected to be one of the biggest games ever.

Innovation is adding a number on the end of a title it seems.

I didn't see that coming, too. I am really looking forward to the innovations of Guitar Hero 6 and GH *insert random band name here*, the new and purely innovative Spder-Man open world game, Call of Duty 4.3 and the immersive movie-tie-in Shrek. My god I am psyched...

Activision really are a joke these days.

But a joke that makes lots of money... However I shall never buy another CoD or GH game. Thoroughly bored of just hearing those names.

When Kotick announced he was canning everything he didn't deem to be an "annualisable franchise" (his words), I didn't realise that literally meant they would only ever release the same 7 or 8 games each year for the rest of eternity. Jesus fucking Christ.

New Call of Duty or the original Call of Duty? The really premium packages get it for free with MW2 but I'm sure it is just a download code that comes in the package. I'd not be suprised if it the actual release was held over until the start of Q1 2010. That said, Treyarch will no doubt get another chance to up their game and to catch up to IW. Lets hope they manage to close the gap and deliver a better game than their last ones...

eHH...

You mean Call of Duty just a little more ridiculous and less realistic, i mean fuck me you have probably made the DLC before the fucking game pricks.

The same Guitar Hero just with a few more songs...

Shrek wtf serious, i had completly forgot about those games

and Spiderman.... The only good games of fucking spiderman were on the PS1

Fuck off you pricks you ain't getting any of my cash next year.

More of the same then eh? I think I'll pass, unless COD offers something new. Guitar Hero ain't my thing, Spider Man games are always crap, and as for Shrek, well, I'm too old for that kind of thing.

Note to Activision, people might be getting bored of the whored out franchises...
