Just in case you have not heard, Activision merged with Vivendi to make a monster development company. The good news keeps coming. During a press conference they confirmed that there will be a Call of Duty 5, no word on format yet, and Guitar Hero 4. Not surprised to hear this due to the fact both games are basically must haves, but its good to know that the franchises are alive and well. They also confirmed that there is no plans to put World of Warcraft on any console.
This seems to be a trend with the merging of these companies. There is way too much money involved in gaming now for any company and/or companies to avoid shrewd business moves that will create bigger and better games which result in more profit. The consumer is the real winner here in the sole reason that games have a pretty standard price. Except for the music games and their expensive peripherals, 60 bucks is the industry standard. The games get better and we still pay the same price. Looks like 2008 could be the year of the consumer.

I’m kind of dissapointed in this. I really like COD4 online multiplayer. I just hope that by releasing COD5, they don’t mess up the multiplayer. I know some games that have been released have had worse MP then their predecessor, but people are stuck with it because the consumer only wants to play the newest titles.
I get hard just thinking about Guitar Hero 4, i hope they put in songs from Wham , REO, Styxx, and other bands as gay if not gayer.
