Ahead of this weekend's Call of Duty: World at War reveal, via Xbox Live Marketplace, comes a tasty little rumour hinting that the COD4 developer's next game will be a bit on the science fiction side.
Take it with a pinch of salt for the time being but an insider from Infinity Ward is reported to have said, "we are currently working on a new sci-fi title, we cannot release any more information as of yet, we may or may not announce it at E3."
We're not sure how much into the future we're talking here and we hope we're not going to be shooting little green men or vampires on Mars. We've done a little digging only to be greeted by blank looks, which doesn't actually rule anything out in our experience. But it doesn't confirm anything either.
Usually we wouldn't go for such randomness, but we've got a funny feeling about this one. More soon maybe...?
If this turns out to be true, then an 'Area 51 done right' game sounds good to me. Sort of a Crysis meets CoD4 (which I guess Area51 was in a shockingly sh*t way) could be a winner as long as it's not too over the top.
Well i'm pretty sure IW will be working on a new project (They were hiring), and IW have yet to make a bad game. Lets just hope its not going to be too generic.
the thing is that it set in the future means you have to planets or countries you dont really care about at war, you never heard of these places so it loses it realism..
To be honest, I'd be suprised if it was announced at E3, it seems unlikely that Activision would allow IW to rain of Treyarch's (already rather damp) parade.
Near future, as in GRAW esq could be cool, but sci fi, no f**king way!!!
I totally agree a near future style shooter for COD6 would be awesome but a sci-fi...that just won't work for a COD game. I don't mind them doing a sci-fi game, as long as they don't use the COD franchise to do it.
Slow news day? C'mon you wan't rumors from "IW insiders" just go play CoD4. Everyone's an insider on there, more than happy to tell you about the new weapons pack.
i want a propr sci fi game - you fly around galaxies to different planets- land and then do missions - it would be great - bascially halo but more open or gta in space
Pfft, I'm so sick of shooting aliens and mutants and what not.
And Nazis, also very tired of Nazis as well.
Kittens, we should shoot kittens.
hahahahaha yea!! now this guy knows what would sell
you cant go wrong with kittens...
and PLEASE who ever goes, "but thats just my opinion", JUST STOP, of course it f**king is !! STOP pointing out the obveous !! arrr
I know where you're coming from, but thanks to some of the people on the internet, if you don't put it everyone creates a big f**king - hoo ha about it and always somehow manage to link it with religion... or knife crime.
ohfohfowhfo\adjj;l\kad, oh, thats better. i don't think i could stomach IW f**king up their reputation with something so ambitious as making COD in the future on other planets. Halo sucks and so will this.
now if we're talking set in 2010 when Korea make a dust ball of the world and the SAS have to stop Kim Jong Ill in the head from doing so. that i would like to see.
then you'd get the US with their new storm trouper style battle armour (released 2014) coming in and claiming all the glory, as only the US can.
probs would work not sure how those quotes when you die would work though? seems abit almost disrespectful to talk about people giving their lives and fighting aliens in space...
All i can say is i've seen ten years into the future, and i can tell you that the penguins are p**sed. We've totally melted their habitat, and in 2018 they rise up and attempt to overthrow us. Infinity Ward are onto something here, beware the black and white ones.
Firstly I really don't think they'd do this and secondly:
When the first news of COD:WAW was released and someone carelessly put the words "Alien Force" in the press releases which was misunderstood to mean "Aliens" by some of the less bright internet users (I couldn't even start on those maths), everyone went nuts posting comments about what a terrible thing that would be for the COD franchise...
Now that someone suggests Infinity Ward might do it we get a load of posts saying "Yeah, that would be cool!" and "Better than WWII" etc etc.
What a bunch of hypocrites! Are any of you going to be kneeling outside Infinity Ward's offices with your mouths open and a T-Shirt saying "GROUPIE - Will give head for preview"?
well i think this is just stupid the only way this could be made good is if they actually have it a little while in the future and make new and improved weps like a better version of the famous p90 for example and not have it to far into the future because that would just make it stupid and i would probly not buy it if they went to far with this one. and can people stop saying that call of duty 5 in world war 2 is bad please? because its good especially if they keep to normal call of duty online play i really dont care and ww2 weps and equipment are the basis of our modern technology so i cant wait to buy this game!(call of duty 5) not sure on number 6 though
