This is why I hate STOCKHOLDERS!! They have too much influence of creativity and product that it gets to the point of share holder profit over customer satisfaction.
No Diablo 3 means Torchlite 2 and Darkspore will have ZERO competition. Starcraft 2 Heart of The Swarm looks to be pushed back to 2012 as well, GREAT!
so now 2012 looks to be Half Life 2 ep3 Far Cry 3 Doom 4 SC2:HotS Diablo 3 maybe a new Lineage and I'm sure another Warcraft expansion or the new Bl...
True Crime Hong Kong from the game play I saw was really not good at all. Activision did the right thing. The game had PS2 quality with PS1 gameplay, it really was NOT PS3 or 360 quality.
With Activision selling 20 million copies of COD every year why bother making anything but COD. Activision has found it's John Madden Football and they are gonna ride it till the wheels fall off, apply some fix a flat and ride it some more.
I'm glad Activision ...
Yep I see guitar hero going down as well as a lot of all those other titles from Activision except Call of duty.
True Crime when I saw it was pure trash. If it's true that they are canceling it then that's a ton of time and money wasted that could have gone towards a new IP of QUALITY.
Activision is trimming the fat as this gen dies down. I'm sure they will ride these last one or two Call of Dutys out till next gen.

There it is. Dice has said many time that they do not wanna compromise graphics for more players on the console version. The destructibility is important to the game. Besides the consoles have reached their limitations as far as what they can do.

yep pretty awesome year.
If a stack of Call of Duty MW2 or Blops landed on some gamers they still wouldn't know what a bad game was.
GTA IV was OK! I feel the San Andreas style of play was just so good that the Liberty City (GTAIII) just didn't cut it anymore.
GTA V late 2012 but more likely early 2013 sounds about right.
The Agent game for the PS3 has to get into gear. Agent needs to be shown at E3 and released for the Holidays in 2011.
I'm sure Rock* wants another Red Dead in late 2012.
OH and add Mass effect 3 don't know how i forgot.
PC Exclusive GOTY right here.

The guy that wrote this article is delusional. How can he write this article and this sentence. He obviously has been living under a rock if he doesn't know the Hip Hop Gamer, Russell Simmons (Def Jam Video games), Sal Mesekala, Curtis Jackson game publisher or the intelligent Gamer plus many others.
Cliff makes a good point. Many developers are trying to copy World of Warcraft and are failing miserably. Now many developers are all trying to make the next COD and they all will fail miserably.
You just copy something and be successful. WOW and COD did what they did cause they brought something new and fresh to the game.
Battlefield is successful because it's NO COD clone but because it's the original open scale war game with vehicles.
When i was in college I always kept two or three of the hottest games for when we just sat around hanging out. in college you can always find used games super cheap or someone trading them.
All in all when in college you will be way to busy going out with girls to be sitting in your dorm room gaming. Seriously.
I've actually read a few times that MW is a PC gamer but actually seeing her play Diablo 3 has given me a new found respect for her.
My hats off to Morgan for being a REAL Gamer Girl who just happens to be on TV. who was the chick she was playing with, that would make a great 3 way set-up "cough" Eyefinity of course.

Some studios do a good job at diversity and it just makes for a better game as far as realism because we live in a world full of different people. On the flip side the majority of gamers are white males so they most likely feel comfortable playing a main character that "looks like them" but it's great to have at least a diverse set of co-stars.
If a developer isn't really knowledgeable about other races then you don't wont them making up characters fr...
Onlive is gonna be a good way to play Indie games or phone games. Streaming full fledge games to phones sounds cool but how much data is it gonna use up as phones have data limits.
They keep saying Onlive is a threat, game changer, etc but I know no one that has it and most people say it sucks.
This is Bullshit man! I'm upset that this report states no commander in BF3. It kind of made BF3 a RTS for those players using the feature. I actually liked the feature as it gave you a different perspective of strategy an tactics during the battle.
maybe it will return in DLC.
it sure would be nice if Sega made a next gen version of Shinobi that was really kick ass instead on Sonic skateboard edition or what ever their on.
Hobo Max Payne has got to go. no one wants a fat bearded up Max Payne. Hopefully the developers have heard the outcries of gamers and have decided to go back to the drawing board and bring back the Max Payne that made MP1 MP2 great games.
P.S. and don't turn Max Payne into a call of duty clone either cause I have a feeling that's what they were doing.
Well I guess they are gonna start charging gamers $9.99 a month to play Call of Duty with studios releasing DLC every 4 to 6 months for $15 plus $60 games every year. If they pump up the graphics and expand the games to something more innovative than a frag fest inside a confined area then they may have something.
I doubt it. as this whole idea was spawned from GREED. This is gonna hurt Activision's pockets in the long run.
