Activision Announces… Well, Pretty Much Everything

by Demi Adejuyigbe on December 3, 2008 at 6:01 pm

Seriously though, 12 games in 5 years!?

As if you didn’t have enough games backtracked to carry you into the New Year, today, at an event hosted by Massive Inc., Activision announced a shitload of new games, though they’re mostly sequels to old titles. Hit the jump for the full details.

As expected, Activision announced yet another game for the Guitar Hero franchise. Whoo. If you haven’t been keeping track, that’s the 9th announced Guitar Hero game from Activision. I mean, jeez, Harmonix only made three in the two years they had the series, and as of Q1 2010 (that’s two and a half years in Activision’s hands) the game will have twelve sequels & spin-offs. The franchise is going to die faster than [some 80's rap star]’s career. Thank you, I’ll be here all night.

Surprisngly, Activision also announced a new Tony Hawk game — one that won’t use the controller and will probably use the rumored skateboard peripheral, along with a new Call of Duty game planned as a sequel to Modern Warfare. The last of Activision’s announcements included a new Bond game, probably based off of the 23rd Bond film in 2010, and an original racing game from Bizarre Creations, which they’ve described as ‘Mario Kart meets Forza.” If it allows me to shoot a blue shell from a Maserati, I’m all for it.

    no, tony hawk died out when there was no more innovation in its design.

    Actually after Skate 2 comes out I don’t know if I’ll need another skateboarding game…Maybe the developers over at EA should have curtailed the quality of the game, tacking on small minor improvements each year to ensure the longevity of their title, oh I forgot they aren’t Neversoft.
