Call of Duty: World at War Revealed
Activision's FPS returns to WWII with a new name and setting.
June 9, 2008 - Santa Monica developer Treyarch has revealed the first details about its upcoming shooter, Call of Duty: World at War (previously known as Call of Duty 5). Having previously developed Call of Duty 3, the team is bringing the FPS franchise back to its WWII roots. Treyarch also revealed in the Official Xbox Magazine that the next Call of Duty will, for the first time, support four-player co-op over Xbox Live. IGN has contacted the game's publisher, Activision, to see if that feature will make its way over to the other platforms, but no confirmation on that yet.
Activision announced that the latest Call of Duty would feature a new military theater last May, and has remained true to its word by taking the series to the Pacific, with players fighting the Japanese. Parts of the game will also take place in Berlin as the Russians advance in on the Germans.
Though Treyarch is developing Call of Duty: World at War, the game is still utilizing Infinity Ward's engine from last year's award-winning Call of Duty 4. The World at War team, has also had an additional year of development time when compared to its first COD effort, Call of Duty 3.
Activision Publishing CEO Mike Griffith has stated that the next installment of Call of Duty would make its way to the DS, PC, PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, Wii and Xbox 360 platforms before the end of the company's 2009 fiscal year, which has typically ended on March 31.
De reden dat de PS3, PS2, Wii en DS niet genoemd worden is omdat deze trailer zijn wereldwijde premiere beleefde op Xbox Live. Zie
deze aankondiging. Microsoft gaat niet op de eigen service reclame maken voor de concurrent. Datzelfde zie je ook als consolemakers reclamecampagnes van 3rd party-games steunen. In Europa eindigde de reclamefilmpjes voor Burnout Paradise altijd met het PS3-logo ondanks dat het spel ook voor de 360 uitkwam.
BTW: Ook GamesTM had al bevestigd dat het spel op zo'n beetje alle platforms ter wereld (behalve de PSP) uit zou komen. In het blad werd ook gemeld dat Treyarch voor de PS3 en Xbox-versies de Call of Duty 4-engine in zou zetten. Die was fantastisch op de PS3, dus da's ook een zorg minder. (En geen reden tot vertraging)
