Call of Duty now on three year development cycle

3.9
Activision has released that it will be moving the CoD series to a three year development cycle instead of two.

While this still means a new CoD entry each year it *should* allow much more time for the respective devs to fully develop their CoD. One would imagine their hope in this strategy change is to foster more innovation while allowing further care of previously released games in the form of better crafted DLC.


"Sledgehammer is a triple-A studio built from the ground-up around prudent talent with a 90-plus-rated pedigree both in studio leadership and throughout the organization.

They demonstrated their skill on Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, and on their past high-rated games. They're the perfect choice to support our new approach and bring fresh ideas and creativity to this great franchise, and to raise the bar for next-gen games overall.

So glad there doing this hope this will improve the cod series

-LOST- Good idea but it will be strange only getting a new cod from each developer ever three years.


I'm sure they'll eventually give up.

What an amazing idea! This will make COD better than what it already is!!

HovaPosted:

This makes sense. The current gen is more demanding and they probably don't want to deliver a smaller game and piss off fans.



Sledgehammer was rumoured to be working on a 3rd person CoD action game before they were shifted over to Modern Warfare 3 after Infinity Ward fell apart. My hope that their game is not a 1st person shooter.

Hopefully they're better than the past few ones have been. Looking forward to hearing more about future CoDs.

Streaming I'm so glad they've done this, more time means better games.


This is true. I didn't put that into consideration.

WubsPosted:

I'm still a fan of CoD.
But now that each dev gets 3 years to work on the next CoD that means a more polished game.
Lets just hope SledgeHammer can show that they can make a good CoD.

This might be the thing that revives cod :D
