Treyarch Is All Call Of Duty, All The Time

Unless Activision gives Treyarch the green light to drop a grouchy and unkempt Peter Parker or Tony Hawk in the middle of a campaign during a period of armed hostility, it appears as if we won't see the developer give Spider-Man, or really any other not-Call-of-Duty series like Tony Hawk, another go. In a recent conversation with CVG, Treyarch boss Mark Lamia confirmed that the studio is a "100-percent Call of Duty Studio." 

"Treyarch is a 100-percent Call of Duty studio--and it has been for a long time now, long before any of [the Infinity Ward] events occurred," Lamia said.

That's where the money is so I don't blame them.

cant wait 4 this

Black Ops looks cool.

I've never played a Treyarch game that I liked, so I'm fine with them only developing for a franchise, that I'll boycott due to recent events.

What a worthless news story. 
 
Treyarch makes Call of Duty games, what great news.

I've heard it's impossible to beat 100%, so Treyarch will now be the biggest name in gaming.

So rename to Call of Duty Studios.

the real question is which studio will make the next' year COD, because, i don't think a single studio  like Treyarch can create a big budget shooter like COD yearly 0o

If your putting flame spewing-shotguns into the game I can't say Call of Duty is in bad hands yet.

Let me be clear when I say I'm never buying another CoD game again. It'll be good to get away from the bad community, anyway. As well as the bad games Treyarch makes. Up until now they've only used ideas from Infinity Ward, and now what will they do? Oh, right. Rehash the same game over and over in simpler terms than before.

I rather them make what they want to. But idc about call of duty anymore. Sooooo yeah. I guess this is ok with me.

" That's where the money is so I don't blame them. "

I think Activision is just slowly dissolving Infinity Ward into Treyarch, and is just going to use Infinity Ward as a brand from now on. Or that's what I would do. There are like 4 guys left at IW.

" What a worthless news story.  Treyarch makes Call of Duty games, what great news. "

that's just sad...Cause really that's all treyarch can do reskin games by IW...but now that IW is gone...what are they going to do? they've not created a truly unique game of their own in years...and really when they did they weren't of very good caliber then again the reskinned games weren't very good either and just road on the coattails of what they were named after.

I found it a good read, and many others did too-therefore, your argument is invalid. "

I hope they run this franchise into the ground until
people are sick of the call of duty name and gameplay.
I'm already sick to death of it and I don't even play 1st person war shooters.
they suck boring balls!

they need to stop making call of duty games. so buggy and lackluster, at least they don't suffer from infinity wards elevators glitches.

Saying Treyarch is more dedicated than before to making CoD games is like saying TV networks are more dedicated than ever to making reality shows.  So fucking what.

That horse can only take so much of a beating before it dies... Actually, I can't wait for this to turn into another Guitar Hero, keep it up Activision.

I guess this means Call of Duty will continue to decline in quality, since most of what the series is known for was brought forth by Infinity Ward.

Treyarch sucks.  Without Infinity Ward to leech off of there games will be complete shit.  Hopefully when as Activision runs COD into the ground, Treyarch will follow.

"Up until now they've only used ideas from Infinity Ward, and now what will they do? Oh, right. Rehash the same game over and over in simpler terms than before."

I bet they would be better appreciated by the gaming community at large if they were given the chance to use the tech and employees to make something original.
 
That said, It's probably better they make Call of Duty and share that weight in house then cramming too many different projects in at once.

Why the hate?  World at War wasn't bad at all, and they actually supported it better than IW ever did. "

I got really excited for Modern Warfare 2 and I still enjoy playing it but I officially don't care about COD anymore. Congratulations Activision, you've killed another franchise in your quest of corporate greed.

WAW was COD4 with a WWII skin.  Like I said, without Infinity Ward to crib off of, they can't do shit. "

And what's left of Infinity Ward is a 100% CoD studio too? And Sledgehammer? 
 
I doubt they'll get much more mileage out of IW's engine after Black Ops before they have to make their own. That will be the real test of their abilities imo.

That was a bad thing?  Regardless, they already have the core mechanics and gameplay down. It's up to them to expand on it from there and to make it their own. "

Didn't say it was a bad thing, I liked WAW.  What I'm saying is that is all they can do. "

Brad N makes redundant article on the heels of Kotaku, part 13.

Proudly admitting they will only ever do one thing? Thanks for that.

This is the kind of news article I will say "no shit, tell me something I don't know".

i don't understand how an entire studio can be happy pigtailing off of somebody else's original work. if the next half-life 2 episode were to be developed by, say, blizzard, or if the next mass effect were to be developed by square-enix, nobody would be happy. but, because it's call of duty and "that's where the money is", it's completely fine.

Recently, I've found Treyarch's entries in the series to be the weakest...  I don't know if this is good news or no.

" Brad N makes redundant article on the heels of Kotaku, part 13. "

I already regretted buying MW2, so no I don't really care either way for the Call of Duty series. 
I'll just stick to CoD4 and MW2.

That is fucking tragic. Working on the same thing forever inevitably makes it lose it's sharp edge eventually (See Guitar Hero, Tony Hawk), not to mention it burns out the team and tarnishes their name. But I guess it could be argued that CoD has lost it's edge ever since CoD4 and is in "drive this series into the ground" mode right now.
