That's what you get for putting chaz ortiz on your payroll.


edit: I didn't even read the article until now, but I'm way more bummed that they cancelled a new True Crime game.

Guitar Hero and Tony Hawk gone. What is Activision doing? Focusing all their effort on a semi-annual shooter? Do they only have one person working there?

I heard Guitar Hero isn't actually gone (I don't know about TH) but it was sold off yesterday
That article is unclear. Yesterday on NPR they said it was dead, but this morning they said they made a mistake and it was sold

It's a real shame about the True Crime game, it looked to be shaping up to be a GTA/Assasins Creed style sand box of awesomness.

I just wish that EA had just waited a little in stopping the Skate series, a certain Mr Hawk is now a free agent.

Yes and his name is Bobby Kotick. He's said in the past that he's only interested in games that can be Franchised and that will bring in Millions. What does that mean? They will not take very many chances on New and Unique IP's. They absolutely will not make any niche titles. And they will milk the shit out of ANYTHING they get their hands on that's even slightly popular. Expect more CoD's and expect them to include even MORE Micro-Transactions.

Such is the will of the Deamon Kotick.

You could play Skate.3


'We will release no new music or skateboarding games during the current calendar year'
Hey maybe they'll take a year to develop next time so people stop complaining.

edit:
for the record I think the most complaining came from the realistic side of the community.

Guitar Hero fucking sucks. The only good ones were 1/2/3 and Metallica (except some of the Metallica songs, those suck). After Guitar Hero 1, they really didn't do anything progressive, unlike Rock Band.
