Infinity Ward viste for ikke så længe siden traileren til deres kommende shooter, Call of Duty: Ghost. De besluttede sig for at fortælle om en række af spillets nye funktioner, hvor de blandt andet kunne afsløre, at nu er der intelligente fisk. Disse undervandsbæster er så intelligente, at de faktisk flytter sig, når spilleren nærmer sig dem. Og nu er der også en hund.
Bungie, som inden længe slipper deres Destiny løs, har udgivet en video, hvor de fortæller om, hvordan deres E3 Reveal-trailer blev skabt. De er ganske informative om spillet, men mest underholdende bliver det, når de gør grin med intelligente fisk. Tjek det ud her:

Far Cry 3 slår Black Ops 2
Activision's enorme gigant, Call of Duty: Black Ops 2, har længe siddet på førstepladsen over de mest solgte spil, men nu lader det til, at Far Cry 3 har slået konkurrenten i Storbritannien. Chart-track rapporterer således, at Ubisofts populære spil nu ligger i toppen af den britiske liste skarpt efterfulgt af Fifa 13. På samme liste ser Call of Duty sig altså nu på en 3. plads. Efter 6 uger som nr. 1 kan man kun sige, at Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 bestemt ikke har klaret sig ilde, og at det nu muligvis også er på tide at få nye kræfter på toppen. I kan se chart-tracks liste over de mest solgte spil her!
English version:
The beast of Activision, Call of Duty: Black ops 2, has been at the very top of the sales charts for a rather long time but now it seems that Far Cry 3 has bested it in the UK. Chart-track reports that the popular game from Ubisoft is now at the top of the chart followed by Fifa 13. Call of Duty is now 3rd but after six weeks as number 1 it cannot be denied that Black Ops 2 has had a good run. Please click here to see the full chart!

135 timers Black Ops 2
Treyarch og Activisions monstershooter, Call of Duty: Black Ops 2, bringer konkurrencesjælen frem i os alle med dens multiplayer, og denne mekanik kan være med til at forklare spillets enorme succes. Spillet vakte imidlertid en del vrede, da Gametrailers gav spillet en højere score (9.4) end Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, som "blot" fik 9.3. Hvad man enten mener om den debat, som prægede eller muligvis stadig præger Gametrailers' mange kommentarer, så kan man ikke diskutere, at Call of Duty er en populær spilserie.
Og man skal ikke lede længe efter dens popularitet end at tage et smut forbi Australien, hvor en gamer ved navn Okan Kaya har smidt ikke mindre end 135 timer i Black Ops 2. Du tænker sikkert, at det kan du også sagtens gøre, men du skal tænke på, at dette er 135 timers kontinuerlig gaming. Dét er en bedrift! Selvfølgelig har der været pauser og andet involveret.
Guinness Rekordbog siger, at man må holde 10 minutters pause for hver time, man spiller. Disse 10 minutter kan man spare op og bruge samlet på enten søvn, spise eller andet. Men dette til trods så er 135 timer stadig en monumental indsats, og nogle vil måske sige, at det er ekstremt at bruge så meget tid og så mange ressourcer på gaming, men jeg tager hatten af for det. Godt klaret, Okan Kaya!
English version:
Treyarch and Activision's giant, Call of Duty: Black Ops 2, brings the competitive mindset in all of us through its multiplayer, and this very thing can greatly contribute in understanding the immense success of the series in general. The game, however, did receive some amount of controversy when the gaming site, Gametrailers, decided to give the game a score of 9.4 when Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim "merely" got a score of 9.3. Whatever one's feelings are regarding this debate which influenced the many comments on Gametrailers, one cannot argue against that Call of Duty is very popular.
And one doesn't have to look for proof of that any further than to our friendly neighbourhood island: Australia. Here, a gamer by the name of Okan Kaya has managed to play Black Ops 2 for no less than 135 hours. Now you're propably thinking that you could do the same but the thing is that this was 135 hours continous gaming. That is remarkable! Now, of course, he did have several breaks and what-not.
Guinness rules state that anyone attempting to do a world record can have a 10 minute break for every hour of gaming. These several 10 minutes can then be accumulated and be spent at once to get some sleep, food etc. Despite this 135 hours of gaming is a monumental performance and I for one congratulates this iron willed gamer. Nice job, Okan Kaya!

Bungies nye projekt: Destiny
Bungie, den tidligere udvikler bag en Microsofts største franchises, Halo, er nu i gang med et nyt projekt under kodenavnet, Destiny. I 2010 underskrev Bungie en kontrakt med Activision om at lave fire science fiction-shootere, som de håber kan blive en ny franchise, nu da Halo er gået over til 343 Industries. Efter planen bliver det første spil udgivet næste år, og i stil med andre serier så kommer vi til at se en ny titel hvert andet år fremover. DLC-pakker, navngivet Comet, bliver tilgængelige hvert andet år fra efteråret 2014.
Det første spil i serien vil først blive udgivet på Xbox360, og de resterende tre vil så også blive udgivet på de andre platforme (PS3, PC). Inde på Bungies hjemmeside kan man i dag finde budskabet, "So, yeah. While we’re not ready to show you what we’ve been working on, we can reconfirm that we are hard at work on our new universe. We can’t wait for you to see it. See you starside in 2013" Det bliver ekstremt interessant at se, hvad Destiny egentligt er, men det kan tyde på, at det bliver stort!

Especially now that Halo is being developed by 343 Industries. According to the plan the first game will be released as early as next year with future installments coming every other year.

Activision vs. Infinity Ward: Modern Warfare
Ja da, så er den her igen! Den tilbagevendende sag mellem Activision og Infinity Ward er ikke nem at undgå. Især ikke når Activision nu har betalt tidligere ansatte af studiet $42 millioner i erstatning. Du læste rigtigt: $42 millioner. Det er 242 millioner danske kr., hvis du skulle være i tvivl. Det er rigtig mange penge, som bliver fordelt mellem 40 individer for deres arbejde på Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 men tro endelig ikke, at sagen nu omsider er forbi.
"Although it is a meaningful payment it is only a small portion of what we are seeking in litigation.", sagde advokaten Bruce Isaac, der repræsenterer Infinity Wards tidligere ansatte, og han fortsætter: "It is outrageous that they made us wait, they obviously knew they owed the money and this just shows that they breached the contract." Samlet set håber de på at kunne få en udbetaling på et sted imellem $75 millioner og $125 millioner, så sagen kører altså endnu.
English version:
Yup, it's this one again. The trial involving Activision and Infinity Ward is definitely not easy to avoid, and especially not when Activision just payed the former staff of Infinity Ward $42 million. That's right: $42 million. That's a lot of money and it will be distributed among 40 individuals for their work on Modern Warfare 2 but do not make the mistake and think this is over.
"Although it is a meaningful payment it is only a small portion of what we are seeking in litigation.", said Bruce Isaac, the attorney representing the former staff, and he continues: "It is outrageous that they made us wait, they obviously knew they owed the money and this just shows that they breached the contract." They hope to get a payment between $75 million and $125 million at the end of the trial. So once again: do not think this is over.

Black Ops II kan give Activision problemer
Call of Duty er en af Activisions stærkeste franchises til dato, og det er med god grund. Siden det nu legendariske Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare har serien sat sig på tronen af FPS-markedet, men med tiden er der kommet nævneværdige udfordrerer i form af blandt andet Crysis, Homefront og ikke mindst Battlefield 3. Modern Warfare er blevet en succesfuld serie for sig selv, men det er ikke alt, der er fryd og gammen.
Udvikleren bag Modern Warfare, Infinity Ward, røg i problemer med Activision noget tid tilbage, som desværre ikke fik en lykkelig afslutning. Sagen kører nemlig stadig, og nu ser det ud til, at mere modvind er på vej: Black Ops II. Hvordan kan dette spil give problemer, tænker du sikkert, og svaret er enkelt: Treyarch, udvikleren bag Black Ops, må nemlig ikke lave moderne krigsspil. Med "moderne" menes der spil, som foregår i nutiden (efter Vietnam) og i den nære fremtid. Black Ops II foregår i den nære fremtid. Infinity Ward har nemlig rettigheden til at lave disse spil under Call of Duty-licensen, og Treyarchs fremmarch på den front varsler ilde for et allerede anspændt forhold mellem Treyarch og Infinity Ward. Black Ops var i forvejen lige på grænsen til at bryde aftalen, da de valgte at inkludere våben fra henholdsvis 1980erne og 90erne, men nu befinder de sig ikke længere på grænsen. Hvad dette vil betyde for serien vides endnu ikke, men det kan tyde på, at den nuværende sags sår nu vil stikke endnu dybere for alle involverede.
English version:
Call of Duty is undoubtedly one of Activision's biggest franchises, and since the now legendary Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare the series has set itself as the king of the FPS market. Since then worthy competitors like Crysis and Battlefield 3 has come to claim the throne, but the Modern Warfare series soldiers on among the most successful games ever made. But not all is good and well.
The developer behind Modern Warfare, Infinity Ward, got themselves into some trouble with Activision some time ago, which didn't have a happy ending. The case is still ongoing and now it seems that even more trouble is brewing: Black Ops II. How can this game cause trouble, you might ask, and the answer is quite simple. Treyarch, the developer of Black Ops, are not allowed to develop modern FPS games. Games set after Vietnam, in present day and in the near future are beyond Treyarch's reach, because Infinity Ward holds the rights to develop games set in these time periods. Black Ops II is set in the near future and the original Black Ops was already bordering on the fine line when they included weapons arguably developed in the 80's and 90's. What this will mean for the series is as of yet unknown but it does look like the ongoing case is going to go a lot deeper.
