Pride on Infinty Ward's part seems to be the internet consensus/assumption at this point.

So Treyarch get to be the silent developer?
Now I don't know if I wan this game to succeed or fail based on that information.

Succeed to make Treyarch look good and prove that Wii owners want these games too

or fail because the game is 2 years late and they(IW) wanted to outsource instead of spend time making games for Wii.

I hereby rename this game to "Treyarch's Call of Duty," -- a totally new military game.

It works because the downgrade is so drastic that it's nothing like the original, and we all know IW could/would never have made this. This is Treyarch's game.

Here is a video, not from a bootleg copy but from a retail copy obtained before street date

Keep it a secret so that Activision doesn't find out and take it down. shhhhh.

Looks good. The sharpness on that video seems really really high.

Can some staff member from NWR contact Treyarch and Activision and get the scoop on whats up with the lack of advertising and media for this game.

ShyGuy · « **Reply #131 on:** November 05, 2009, 10:18:02 PM »

Heck, can anyone in the entire Gaming Media sphere do some real reporting and get an answer about that?

I just read a pretty believable theory on the drama between Infinity Ward and Treyarch. Mix that with the history of Activision, and you'd have to wonder how they sit by and let this happen.

Call of Doody: Enemy of Mine

a small snippet from the Activision Wiki

Quote

Before the formation of Activision, software for video game consoles were published exclusively by makers of the systems for which the games were designed. For example, Atari was the only publisher of games for the Atari 2600. This was particularly galling to the developers of the games, as they received no financial rewards for games that sold well, and did not receive credit for their games. This caused several programmers to resign from their jobs. Activision became the first third-party game publisher for game consoles.

How quickly we forget.

So far, none of the footage has shown that people have a clue at customizing their controls to achieve good aiming results. All they've shown is it's a FPS where you can run faster than Michael Ford.

Is it me, or does Treyarch's Call of Duty's close-up aim look completely awkward with IR Controls? The gun doesn't appear close enough to your eyes, yet it floats around inside the bounding box without any angular adjustments. Hell, I didn't like how it was implemented in Treyarch's World At War. I prefer something more like Conduit, where the view lens size is generous enough and floats easily without filling the screen with an awkwardly placed gun model (the CoD system is fine for fixed-center FPS views, but not Wii's IR movement), but as an addition it should still show the un-zoomed scenery around with depth-of-field blur, akin to RE4.

Activision is tawp dawg now so they get to run things shitty just like EA used to. Gotta walk the path of greatness.

Interesting theory there.

Overall I like what I see and I may take the plunge. I do wish there was WiiSpeak support and local multiplayer, but the core game and solo campaign are said to be good and I'd like to experience CoD4 since it is such a critically acclaimed game.

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #137 on:** November 06, 2009, 05:58:23 AM »

You can only find that on Xbox 360, PS3, and PC.

Well from what I hear, Treyarch ported the entire game in only 10 months, so they didn't have time to optimize for everything they might have wanted to put in there.

BranDonk Kong · « **Reply #139 on:** November 06, 2009, 11:22:35 AM »

So I've played the game...it actually does look pretty good. I only had a few minutes with it (not mine), and only played the beginning training, but it did look better than I thought it would, yet worse than it should.

ShyGuy · « **Reply #140 on:** November 06, 2009, 12:09:31 PM »

How does it look in person compared to COD:WaW or The Conduit?

Can always hope for that stuff in Modern Warfare 2 when it is ported to Wii, right? (cause you know we'll get that around the tine MW3 comes out

)

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #142 on:** November 06, 2009, 01:46:38 PM »

It'll be Activision's 1st WiiHD game in 2011.

BranDonk Kong · « **Reply #143 on:** November 06, 2009, 02:51:18 PM »

It looks better than WAW, at least. I've only played a couple minutes, inside the warehouse training level, so I can't compare it to the Conduit yet. I might play it tonight or tomorrow. The Wii I'm playing it on is NTSC, but the game is PAL, so there are more "jaggies" than there normally would be, or at least they're a little more pronounced, since the PAL version outputs at 525i or 525p, I believe. At least all the in-game videos look messed up because of the regional difference.

BwrJim! · « **Reply #144 on:** November 06, 2009, 06:57:59 PM »

10 months for a port is actually pretty good. With models, motion captured animation and everythign else in place its not really a technical feat to do. I should be getting a peek at the us version tonight when my friend comes over and I can give some input on what i notice. I personally will be looking at the animation, and it seems that a lot of people are curious about the looks too. (we wii folk are funny that way.. hehe) So animation and graphics and stability..

anything else to keep an eye on?

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #145 on:** November 06, 2009, 06:59:56 PM »

Controls.

BwrJim! · « **Reply #146 on:** November 06, 2009, 07:04:30 PM »

Controls.. check, any particular scheme your looking for? or do we want full on set conduit controls

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #147 on:** November 07, 2009, 12:45:28 AM »

My Conduit scheme surpasses what's achieved in Metroid Prime 3 (aside from the framerate influence). I want to know if Treyarch's Call of Duty can compete with that (it's got to "fly" with ease), and if the game framerate hinders it.

ShyGuy · « **Reply #148 on:** November 07, 2009, 02:31:06 AM »

I went looking for this at UncleBob-Mart tonight, but no luck. I picked up Wii Fit Plus instead.

Stratos · « **Reply #149 on:** November 07, 2009, 02:48:25 AM »

I'm thinking I'll be ordering this when I pre-order New Mario Brothers in the next day or so. I've got a $40 Amazon cradit to use
