‘Call Of Duty’ Developers Debut With Xbox Exclusive
The developers behind Call of Duty are debuting with an Xbox exclusive title.
Two developers who worked on Call of Duty, Jason West and Vince Zampella, after having been fired by Activision for insubordination, created their own studio by the name of Respawn Entertainment. A fitting name for the way the studio got its start, Respawn Entertainment has announced an always online shooter which will be an Xbox exclusive made for the Xbox 720, yet planned to be ported to the Xbox 360 by a separate developer. The debut title is expected to be published by Electronic Arts.
We can probably expect terrible customer service in that case, but back to the point.
Respawn Entertainment’s debut game will be a futuristic first-person mutliplayer shooter said to be a battle between Davids and Goliaths. It’s unknown whether those are the actual names of the teams, but it certainly brings to mind a battle of well-armed humans and towering mechs, and according to Kotaku, that’s right on the money.
The developers have told Kotaku, “The Davids are heavily armed foot soldiers. The Goliaths are giant exoskeletons — Titans — that these soldiers can pilot. These Titans are big, mech-style walkers that move with an agility not seen in games like Mechwarrior or Steel Battalion.”
In this case we’re guessing it will be about the same as the end battle from Metal Gear Solid, but on a larger scale.
It was discovered that Respawn Entertainment has applied for a Trademark to the name Titan, which may be the title of the game. Neither Electronic Arts or Respawn Entertainment could be reached for comment. Vince Zampella, however, has said that they do not intend to sit out the Electronic Entertainment Expo like 2K Games will, and has every intention of having something to show.
Jason West has been said to have left the company for “family issues,” leaving the issue open to even further speculation.
What do you think of the new Xbox exclusive project from the developers behind Call of Duty?
