Activision Blizzard Announces Guitar Hero 5, New Call of Duty

Posted by Soulskill on from the axes-and-guns dept.

MTV's Multiplayer Blog reports on recent announcements from Activision Blizzard which confirm that sequels to several popular franchises are on the way. The games include a new Guitar Hero, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, and a new Tony Hawk, which will use some kind of non-standard controller. "At the meeting, Activision Blizzard showcased new games that would make sense for in-game ads, including the vaguely titled "Guitar Hero 5," which included a screen shot of gameplay with a Burger King ad to the right of the note highway."

    Would you mock someone for playing Tomb Raider in lieu of earning a doctorate in archeology and physically raiding lost tombs themselves?

    If Blizzard becomes synonymous with a chain-shitty-sequel-churner I'll be annoyed to sad.

    Yes, how would the world survive if the team behind such original franchises as Warcraft II, Warcraft III, World of Warcraft, Diablo II, and the upcoming Diablo III and Starcraft 2.1, Starcraft 2.2 and Starcraft 2.3 was ever reduced to chain-sequel-churning?
