Call of Duty 3 (Review)

Nov 22, 2006

The first-person shooter has hardly been the bread and butter of any Nintendo box (blah blah Goldeneye) but when the Wii remote was first unveiled, one of the big questions was how it would fare in a straight-up action game. With Metroid delayed, this port of Call of Duty 3 is our first glimpse of the remote in the FPS wild. It's a pretty impressive beast. The good news, both for Nintendo and for fans, is that the remote works quite well as a stand-in for the barrel of your gun, with precision ...

Well, maybe it's not that demanding.

Coming out alongside Wii-exclusive shooters like Red Steel and Far Cry Vengeance, it might seem that the multiplatform port of Call of Duty 3 has a fight on its hands. But when we got both hands on a level from the game recently, we discovered that it's got plenty of fight in it. At first we found it hard not to be disappointed that every possible control hasn't been made into a Wii-mote gesture and there aren't sections where you have to clip it to your belt and actually crawl on all fours, ...

Exclusive PS3, 360, and Wii games compared (News)

Oct 19, 2006

Hype unique controls, superior online play, and massive disc storage all you want; Siliconera reminds us that it's all about the games when selling a system by comparing and numbering exclusive titles per next-generation console. From the article: "Another arguable point is that all of the Wii's titles are 'gameplay exclusive.' Since the Wii has a its own control scheme, Call of Duty 3 is going to play quite differently on the Wii than it is on the Xbox 360 or Playstation 3. Will this cause gamers to purchase two versions of the same game? "

The investigatory-journalism notes that the Xbox 360 offers 48 exclusive games with the help of a one-year head start (48% of which are first-party), the PS3 has a total of 35 games (51% of which are first-party), and Wii represents with 40 titles (35% of which are first-party). Hit the read link for the full list of exclusives by console according to the games blog.

Call of Duty 3 dated for the UK (News)

Oct 16, 2006

Activision has confirmed the UK release dates for Call of Duty 3. The game will arrive on the Xbox 360 on November 10, followed by a PlayStation 2 version on November 24, and the Wii version on December 1 - a week before the UK launch of the Wii. The PlayStation 3 version will launch with the system next year.

It's not unusual for launch software to be released prior to the console, and with Call of Duty 3 likely to be one of the Wii's biggest sellers, buyers have an extra week to pick the game up and be ready for launch.

The Xbox 360 release of Call of Duty 3 starts an impressive month of shooters for the system. A week later Microsoft's Gears of War lands in the UK, followed by Rainbow Six Vegas the week after.

Call of Duty 3 Comparison (News)

Oct 9, 2006

Activision shows off a number of levels from all three next-gen versions of its WWII sequel, and Gamespot grabbed the controls to compare them all.

"It's worth noting that the 360 and PS3 versions are identical in terms of content; the only difference we noticed is that you can thrust with the sixaxis controller on the PS3 to make your character do his melee attack (though you can still use the button if you want). The games looked quite similar, too, from what we could tell. The level of detail in the maps and characters has been noticeably ramped up from Call of Duty 2, such as with the aforementioned individual grass blades and rays of light filtering through the trees. The characters' facial expressions, clothing, and animations are also appreciably more realistic than in the past. You'd be hard pressed to say which version looks better, especially since they're both running in 720p resolution, but neither one is a slouch in the visual department.

The Wii version, as it turns out, is content-identical to the 360 and PS3 versions, for the most part. It's reasonable to expect that the relatively weaker system will have fewer enemies and simplified geometry in some parts, but in terms of storyline, basic level design, and so on, you're getting the same game across all three platforms. The Wii version naturally doesn't feature the extreme detail of the other versions, but it does play much like we're coming to expect first-person shooters to play on this unique new platform. Like Metroid Prime 3 and Red Steel, COD3 has you using the remote for fine aiming, and moving the cursor to the edges of the screen will make you turn. The analog stick on the nunchuk makes you move, and the various other buttons of the Wii's controllers let you perform other actions like ducking, jumping, and going to iron sights."

New Call of Duty 3 Wii Details (News)

Sep 30, 2006

While the game will not be as graphically on par with the other versions, it is being displayed at 480p and in 16:9 widescreen. Like the GameCube, the Wii will only support Dolby Pro Logic II, but CoD3 is also fully compatible with that. The game will use the rumble pack, but will not make use of the controller's built-in speaker, as Activision will apparently not have enough time to incorporate it. Online play is out, and so is any form of multiplayer, and WiiConnect24 will not be utilized.

Treyarch Tackling James Bond (News)

A recent job listing at Activision suggests that Treyarch, the studio behind Call of Duty 3 and Ultimate Spider-Man, will be developing the next James Bond videogame.
Back in May, Activision announced it had acquired videogame rights to the James Bond license, a property Electronic Arts had handled for years. The Bond franchise is a hot property -- insiders suggested Activision paid around $70 million for the game rights -- though so far the publisher has said little about what the dashing super-spy will be up to next -- or which studio is at the helm.

According to the job listing, "Treyarch is looking for a Gameplay Designer for our upcoming Bond title." The listing further specifies that the Activision-owned studio is now focusing on next-generation console development, suggesting the new Bond may leap clear of older systems.

'Call of Duty 3' enlists classic war movies (News)

Jul 11, 2006

In creating the upcoming Call of Duty 3 game, the game developers at Treyarch returned to the source of inspiration for previous games in the successful combat series: war movies.

Where recent World War II games were clearly inspired by more recent films such as Saving Private Ryan and Enemy at the Gates, Call of Duty 3 (due this fall) takes some cues from classics The Longest Day and A Bridge Too Far.

"We started looking at those great war movies where you have one big event that is viewed from multiple perspectives," says Treyarch's creative director, Rich Farrelly. As a result, Call of Duty 3 will have "lots of great intense battles with the Allies, the U.S. and British, and we get to introduce the Canadians and Polish forces that players haven't seen before."
