could your next game be another call of duty game?

Highly unlikely. After we did the first COD, Activision internalized development to their wholely owned studios.

Here's what I don't fully understand, you deny making one game, but for another you just lock-up and state the NDA, why?
26 Nov
sparkunlimited
Both projects that are being reference are under strict NDA. You have to wait for publisher announcements.

BattleDroid55
Yeah but you pretty much said it wasn't a CoD game. But won't give any hints when everybody brings up SWBF3
26 Nov
sparkunlimited
I have stated what is known. Activision has stated who is doing COD. You are fishing for the unknown.

Can you think of anything that is publicly known that would make it unlikely the game is a star wars game?
26 Nov

uh, yes. From this side of the fence, I can see alternatives.

I can say that I cannot tell you the name because the name is unknown. Have to wait fir the publisher to decide in final title.

If we could have 2 productions waves 180 degrees out of phase summing to a constant level it eases production management.

Wait your job listings say you're working on an original IP. As well as a sequel to a high profile science fiction series?
8 Nov
sparkunlimited
That is correct. We have been hiring for a sequel. We just listed a position for pre-production on original IP.
8 Nov via Twitter for Android

Thanks. I guess the one original IP would be coming after the sequel, if it is in pre production, correct?

The game design has been created by us in conjunction with the publisher. We are the first to travel this path.

So just to be clear, you're saying the game could not have been under development by a previous studio *cough* free radical?
26 Nov

Don't equate the title of game with the game itself. Tha's like voting for an initiative on the title rather than content.

what do you mean by "max out"? I don't think your system will run at 120 fps if that is your target.
