Guitar Hero Developers Neversoft Working on Call of Duty

[News Portal]

It's been known since late last year that Tony Hawk developers, Neversoft have been hiring for and working on an undisclosed shooter. Now, it has been announced on their website that the new shooter in the works is actually a new Call of Duty game. It's unclear at this stage as to whether the developers will be making an all new game, or providing support for other studios already developing CoD games, such as Treyarch, Infinity Ward or Sledgehammer Games.

Given how much Activision keeps putting into CoD do you think they'll actually collapse when CoD dies off?

Neversofts logo is so awesome. Loved seeing it for some weird reason in the tony hawk series :/

This is not that surprising when you think about it. Neversoft seem to be Activision's go to studio for overused, repetitive franchises.

CoD: Grind Time.
Can't wait!

Finally CoD will have vehicles.
You'll be able to skate through the warzone popping tricks and ****.
Awesomeness. I've been waiting a long time for a skate boarding shooter.
Question is, will it be 1st person or 3rd?

Neversoft are a perfect fit imo. The boss fights are rhythm games anyway (mash <a key>, mash <some other key>, mash <yet another key>).

I try not to jump to conclusions with this sort of stuff. They may be capable of making an amazing FPS. It does, however, appear to really show just how cynical Activision have become about milking their cash cow for all it is worth.

"You - You make games, right?"

"Sir, I'm just the vending machine repair man...I don't know anything about making ga..."

"Nonsense! We could shrink wrap a turd in a box marked COD these days and make millions! Get in there and make a COD game!"

xD i think spinning around doing multiple 180/360's in a first person view would be extremely disorienting not to mention all the crazy fast paced shooting involved lol Then again a lot of the CoD console kiddys love all that 360 noscoping jargon so it might be a perfect game for that demographic! ;D

xD joking aside i like to think of Activison/Treyarch etc as more of a glorified modding team rather than a full fledged AAA developer as when you think about it a large amount of mods consist of re-skinning the entire game new weapons,maps,location, etc Sound familiar? xD

The more i think of CoD as fully priced mods the less bothered i am about the new title each year.

Maybe... however, I'm still not entirely sure on how the partnership works but doesn't Activision still have Blizzard?
