Activison Has Plans to Release Call Of Duty “6″ and Guitar Hero “5″ In 2009
Talk about milking the franchise, Activision has announced that both Guitar Hero and Call of Duty will release brand new games in late 2009. The announcement comes out before Guitar Hero: World Tour and Call of Duty: World at War are sold to the public later this year. Publishing CEO Mike Griffith had this to say:
“Multiple new Guitar Hero SKUs [and] an all new Call of Duty [due to our] leapfrog studio strategy.”
The “leapfrog studio strategy” refers to having companies rotate development roles, just like having Infinity Ward develop Call of Duty 4 one year, but have Treyarch produce Call of Duty: World at War the next. Basically, it’s the easiest way for Activision to keep the same franchises coming-year after year, without sacrificing quality right away. Although, how long will gamers fall for it? Many consumers who purchased Call of Duty 3, knew the game didn’t live up to the standards of its predecessor.

Treyarch should stop making call uf duty-games. It’s the infity ward ones that are good. Cod4 is one of the best fps-shooters i’ve ever played.
