In the aftermath of Activision killing off Guitar Hero, TheSixthAxis looks at what could be next for the genre.
Chance Glasco, one of the co-founders of Infinity Ward and creators of the Call of Duty franchise, has claimed that Activision once pressured the studio to include an invasion of Israel by Iran.
Former CEO describes lawsuit filed by Swedish pension fund as a "collateral attack" on Activision Blizzard.
Kotick Made $155 million from MS in the buyout, the little b*tch needs to stop whining. Thanks to this Microslop deal and massive industry consolidation thousands upon thousands of devs and other workers lost their livelihoods. This greedy piggie pervert needs shut up and f-off.
Windows Central: "The money may keep rolling in, but Microsoft is the custodian of one of the biggest selling video game series in history. If something doesn't change, I fear we'll reach a breaking point and irreparable damage will have been done."
In my view, they should probably merge MP with Warzone and essentially make it free to play like Halo Infinite. The campaign/zombies mode can be $30 yearly DLC. I know this would be insanity as most COD players essentially pay the full price of the game simply for the MP. However-with a shrinking player base they may have to consider it. Making it free would bring in a ton of players.
To late MW3 should have been a lesson but here we are two years later with a steaming pile a shite called blops7
Nothing lasts forever, eventually something will come along to make people forget about COD

Happy thanksgiving to all the N4G members

Halo killer once arrived and technically call of duty killer also arrived, its name is Fortnite
Call of Duty was riding the revenue horse and charts for ~20 years. Whether undeserved or deserved.
But I endorse everyone to remind you that Microsoft could have decided differently when they took it over.
The money was certainly there, and they could have taken their time revamping the franchise:
Current-gen tech, manageable microtransactions, not imitating Fortnite and returning to core values of the franchise's origin.
They didn't.
Let's see next year. Hopefully without the then 13 years old PS4 and One hardware.
I kind of thought that music games would be integrated into Zune or iTunes. I always thought it was lame you couldn't save the songs to your HDD. You should be able to buy a song off Zune or iTunes and get it in RB/GH too and visa versa.
I can't see anything new honestly. Music games really came from the arcade game Frequency and have spawned into instrument based games. But currently music games are turning into games with music as a center element. Dance Central and SingStar Dance are music/dance hybrids. I am pretty excited to see the music-rail shooter mix. I loved N2O back in the day, and am looking forward to Child of Eden.
Oh and this is crazy but Rock of the Dead is a neat idea gone horribly wrong. I think they should create and adventure game with paths and choices as you rock through a story. Not just a House of the Dead ripoff, but something like getting album films like The Wall or Rocky Horror as full games instead of just DLC tracks.
Codemasters should bring back the MUSIC series. I know we have Reason, Fruity Loops, Cubase etc on the PC but I'd like to see what they could do with the power of the PS3. That's where my path of making music started on the good ol' PSone
I could see another Rock Band but what would be the new feature if anything. With Rock Band 3 Harmonix added the Keyboard aas a new instrument and added the new feature 'Pro-Instrument'. If RB4 were to come out it would be like RB2, a new layout and new songs. As for new music games in general, what could be next?
