Activision Buying Time in Modern Warfare Trial

Posted Apr 10, 2012 at 3:17PM EST by Todd B Listed in: PS3 Tags: Activision, EA, Infinity Ward, jason west, modern warfare, Vince Zampella

Remember that time Infinity Ward exploded and everyone was super pissed? Well, the legal aspect of that boondoggle is still happening.

The year was 2009. Activision, riding high on the insanely profitable Modern Warfare 2, was looking for ways to keep the profits rolling in and the games rolling out. Infinity Ward, the company behind the massive hit, was looking for ways in which to keep a larger share of those profits. The end result? A massive controversy that resulted in the ousting of two prominent devs.

Vince Zampella and Jason West, co-founders of Infinity Ward and the creative minds behind the Modern Warfare franchise, were either fired from Activision, or they quit. It depends on who you ask. The actions were apparently the result of serious contractual problems, with Activision claiming the devs were up to no good with other studios, while the devs claim Activision was holding back enormous royalty payments to them and the rest of the IW crew.

The whole thing has been rolled up into a lawsuit, which was scheduled to go before a judge on May 7. However, the case is now set for May 29, thanks to a delay request on the part of Activision. The company isn’t yet talking about why it elected to push the trial back, but we’re keeping an eye out for official statements.

There are several big things at stake in this court case. Number one, the enormous royalty payments Zampella and West claim that Activision owes them. Number two, damages ordered by the court. Oh, and number three: Ownership of the Modern Warfare brand.

If West and Zampella win partial ownership of the franchise, they’ll be able to make their own Modern Warfare games. Seriously. Games that would more than likely be published by EA. Activision is naturally fighting hard, so we’ll just have to wait and see where this whole thing goes.

What do you think happened with Zampella, West and Activision? Where do you think the lawsuit will go?

Halo Creator Focusing on Mobile

Posted Feb 24, 2012 at 1:02PM EST by Listed in: iPhone Tags: bungie, hail to the chimp, halo, stubbs the zombie, wideload games

Yet another high-profile dev starts a mobile games studio.

It seems like every week we get news of some prominent game developer firing up his own mobile games studio. Thank s to the low barrier of entry and small team size required for mobile games, pretty much anyone can cook up a mobile game (and reap the benefits).

Alex Seropian, co-founder of Bungie and the creator of the insanely popular Halo franchise, is the next guy on the list. His new studio, dubbed Industrial Toys, has just gone live and is promising to focus on “mobile games for core gamers.” The mission statement for the company goes on to state that games should be “accessible without sacrificing quality,” a very good point, indeed.

Naturally, the company is still in its infancy and no new IPs have been announced. But we’ll keep you posted as details emerge. Seropian’s last projects were with his very own Wideload Games, which developed Stubbs the Zombie and Hail to the Chimp.

What do you think? Can mobile be a home for core gamers?

The Last Story Confirmed for North America

Posted Feb 22, 2012 at 5:51PM EST by Listed in: Wii Tags: fatal frame, Fire Emblem, mario tennis, nintendo direct, the last story, xenoblade chronicle

Deal with it, Brazil.

If you tuned in for Nintendo’s Nintendo Direct broadcast this morning, you were treated to yet another incredibly boring video with a few spread out game trailers. However, if you managed to stick through the thing until close to the end, you’re also aware of what we’re about to reveal here on the site: Mistwalker’s insanely popular RPG, The Last Story, is headed to North America.

The game, which was published by Nintendo in Europe and Japan, will be distributed by XSEED Games. There’s no official release date as of yet; all we know is that you can expect to see the game sometime in 2012. This is the second good bit of news for Nintendo fans, following the Xenoblade Chronicles release date announcement earlier today.

If you didn’t watch the Nintendo Direct broadcast, you can watch it below for information on Kid Icarus, Fire Emblem, Fatal Frame and – gasp! – Mario Tennis:

Are you amped to see more RPGs coming to the Wii in 2012? Also, how awkward is Reggie Fils-Aime?

[Game Informer]

Deal with it, Brazil.

PoV: Battlefield 3 has Multiplayer Problems

Posted Oct 31, 2011 at 3:09PM EST by Listed in: Xbox 360 Tags: bad company 2, battlefield 3, battlefield 3 multiplayer issues, DICE

Let’s talk about some of the issues with Battlefield 3’s multiplayer, and why it sometimes feel like DICE may have released the game a pinch too soon.

I’m not a huge Battlefield fan. When I say that, what I mean is that I didn’t play the older games and don’t have any extreme allegiance to the brand. I do prefer Battlefield to Call of Duty due to the more realistic sniping mechanics and a greater focus on team play, but I’m not the sort of person that runs around preaching about which game is superior. I like Battlefield games, but I wouldn’t call them my favorites.

I picked up Battlefield 3 on launch day and have since been playing multiplayer whenever I have some down time. I should probably note that I have the Xbox 360 version, so some of the things I’m talking about may or may not be applicable to your personal experiences with the game. I’ve never put the campaign disc in the tray and I doubt I ever will, so I can’t really say much about the single player.

For the most part, multiplayer feels like a well-oiled machine. Most maps seem well planned and I’m getting a fair amount of fun from earning unlocks and capturing points. Though I’m focusing on complaints in this post, I do want to mention that I’ve had a good experience with the game overall.

Except for the following:

Origin/EA/Battlelog/Online Pass

I understand that creating loyalty is one of the key elements of managing a player base, but I play on a console. Having to create an EA account link it to an Origin, and then register an Online Pass via a website getting slammed by new players was a frustrating and unnecessary experience. I pay for Xbox Live – let me put my game in and play. I must say that I do really like Battelog, but the upfront inconvenience in getting started was pretty lame (and seems to be worse for PC players).

Scope Glare

Look, I play Recon. In fact, I play almost exclusively Recon. But, I play Recon – not “Camping sniper.” I spot targets, paint vehicles with the SOFLAM, capture points when I can and drop Radio Beacons. Anyway, in BF3 certain riflescopes have been given a glare effect to help limit the potential for camping. While I understand the mechanic, the glare is ridiculously bright, even in low-light situations. When I’m charging through a pitch black tunnel and I see something that looks like the north star shining out of the darkness, it shouldn’t turn out to be a scope. Needs to be toned down a bit.

Operation Metro CQ

If anyone out there has played Operation Metro in Conquest mode, you’ve probably noticed that the map is insanely unbalanced. Due to the map’s linear design and lack of flank routes, it’s much easier for the Russian team to capture point B and hold it. I would say that the majority of games I join for CQ end with Russia winning and the US losing – getting up and into point B can be quite a difficult feat. It’s also, for some reason, the only map that requires you to pass through one point to cap another – you can’t simply run around B to cap point A and put some pressure on, you have to go through point B first. Needs a little love for the US.

Jets

Jets are cool, I get it. But when I’m in a level with jets, it often seems like they’re playing a completely different game. I’m sure this is a failing of my teammates somewhere along the line, but all I ever see jets do is chase each other around and ignore everything that’s happening on the ground. Somewhere, someone has to have made a tutorial on how jets can apply to the ground game, so please watch it before you jump in the cockpit.

Technical issues

While the release version of Battlefield 3 is nowhere near as buggy as the beta, there are still a significant number of minor glitches and bugs. Texture pop, screen tear and a variety of weird clipping issues have shown up in my matches, with one in particular getting me killed (a two-inch step that has to be jumped over, since the character apparently can’t step). Also, the game often “forgets” which pistol I have equipped. Oh, and let’s not overlook the server issues – I always get a failed connection the first time I try and join.

So that’s a brief rundown of the common Battlefield issues I’m noticing. The list certainly isn’t comprehensive, but it’s made up of what has stood out to me as a player. Like I said before, they’re having a relatively minor impact on my play, but it’s still quite a few issues for a game that was supposed to be one of the best FPS experiences of all time.

If you’re playing Battlefield 3, what problems have you noticed that didn’t make the list?
