Update: CBS lied. Phelps didn’t get Call of Duty World at War early. He got an I.O.U instead.
So let me get this straight. You win eight Gold medals and Activision gives you Call of Duty: World at War two months early? Seems about right. If you don’t want to watch the whole three minutes or so of Phelps praising, just skip til the end. Apparently he likes the series and thus Activision gave him a copy of the PS3 version.
I guess he’ll be playing it by himself.
Also, does this mean World at War is essentially done and Activision is sitting on it for fun? Or does it mean that Phelps got himself an early beta version with bugs intact?
For the hardcore gamer demographic, Nintendo’s press conference was a bore. For those with an open mind and curious as to how Nintendo will continue to broaden the gaming market, it was something worthwhile. Sorta.
The press conference was a mixed bag and just like Microsoft’s press conference, it’s a lot more exciting to read the list. Enjoy.
The following screenshots were rendered by the Call of Duty 4 engine which is probably why it doesn’t look too shabby. I don’t know much about this upcoming movie tie-in game aside from its engine and its developer, Treyarch.
Until I see this thing in motion, I’ll keep my mouth shut.
It’s Call of Duty 4’s marvelous engine. What more do you want? A flamethrower? Got that. Some intimate brutality? Got that too. More Modern Warfare? Sorry, out of those. We do have a handful of screenshots of more World War II action, though! They may not be new to you, but they’re new to us.
What happens when your website’s security system can be circumvented by removing a small section of text? You get leaks. Lots of leaks about various Xbox 360 titles. The source of the leak comes from market research site called Intellisponse. Some of the leaks include proposed Forza Motorsport 3 concepts, potential Call of Duty 5 boxarts and possible details for the upcoming singing game called Lips.
To think that it all started with a little article about the possibility of Avatars, a Mii like option, for the Xbox 360. For more leaky goodness, check this thread. There’s even some Guitar Hero 4 stuff there!
Call of Duty 5: World at War is officially returning to the World War II era. This will not be an Infinity Ward job, but it’s going to have a impressive back cover. Call of Duty 5 will be set in the Pacific and it will feature co-op play. Oh, vehicles and squad control as well.
For those who’re interested, you can find some scans from the latest issue of Official Xbox Magazine. Otherwise, sorry for wasting your time.
