Desidesforum_veteranOPRight, So, remember Jason West and Vince Zampella? The guys who ran Infinity Ward and made CoD4 and MW2? The guys who left EA and Medal of Honor to make CoD for Activision, but then left Activision to make games for EA again?
Their game apparently won't be out until 2015.
Respawn Entertainments first game may not be released until 2015, according to the company's leading concept artist Ian McDaig.
Speaking at the Develop Conference in Brighton, England, he said, "I'm having the most fun working with Respawn Entertainment right now, and I hate that I cant show you guys what I'm doing there until 2015."
Respawn's publisher EA has yet to announce any details of the developer's current projects, including projected release date. In June, Respawn released a cryptic, blurred screenshot and said its game would be a multi-platform product based on new video game IP.
Respawn was created last year by former Infinity Ward heads Vince Zampella and Jason West and employs a large number of developers who had worked on the Call of Duty franchise. Ian McCaig was hired by Respawn in May to work on the company's first game. He is a renowned artist whose work includes the original character designs for Star Wars' Darth Maul and Queen Amidala.
Call of Halo Duty? Space Marines in Space?

From the sound of it, Respawn's game won't even be in the same genre. Why would EA want a third military FPS series? They spent a lot of money reviving Medal of Honor (and didn't really do it right), they're marketing the hell out of Battlefield 3, so… why compete with itself?

Clark Kentforum_veteranSo they can have a game to actually compete against COD rather than get demolished by it? Isn't that why RS/EA has been calling Respawn's game the COD killer? Also, when JW and VZ were with IW they made it clear they didn't want a MW3, but wanted more futuristic shooter. It sounds like that's what they're making. Cod in the future. Could be wrong though, but that was always my impression.
Also, If EA was smart, they would always release BF 6 months after COD rather than directly compete with the launch date. that's neither here nor there, but I just wanted to call that out.

Respawn and EA have not said a word about the new game, let alone label it a "CoD killer". That's the term being affixed to Battlefield 3 by the Internet's peanut gallery due to general dissatisfaction with MW2 and hatred of Bobby Kotick.
Also, when JW and VZ were with IW they made it clear they didn't want a MW3, but wanted more futuristic shooter. It sounds like that's what they're making. Cod in the future. Could be wrong though, but that was always my impression.
Futuristic in video game parlance means "Halo competitor".

EA has always avoided CoD. This is the first time CoD and Battlefield are going directly head to head.

ClipseNew Member4 years before they can make another disaster like MW2. Good enough for me.
Desidesforum_veteranI don't think they're bringing Jesse Stern over this time. :lol:
By the way, Jesse Stern was apparently part of the CoD4 team as well. So...
