How much of the assets from the previous iteration of the game are reused?

Do the different companies share these assets?

Like how MW3 removed a lot of the customization options that BLOPS had, it seems like the different companies totally do not share their info.

Most people here try their best when it comes to working. But around the fourth and fifth development month we get swamped and most of the team gets shuffled around, most of the code monkeys are changed often. For the decently employed people it's ok, we are very aware of what we produce and work hard. You do realise it's all about the profits these days, all the voice actors and mocap tech we have cost more than my house and car combined.
Some voice actors alone get paid more than my car is worth. Whilst the budjet is high, it's also so that the profits must be. We must be able to justify all our spending.

A lot, we cycle concept art and ideas all the time. While we work on the same brand, we barely communicate with the other team working on CoD games. Artists are pissy and overprotective of their work, even though they no longer own the rights to it (the company does since it's done during worktime). As for the models, mostly the higher poly working models and textures are used and sometimes modified for further use. While a lot of concept gets thrown straight into the bin a surprising amount comes up used in later titles.

CoD is the ultimate gravytrain.

>>272646252
Nope.

Have you guys been working on WaW2 since Black Ops 2 came out? Or did you not start until Ghosts or AW was released?

>>272646858
Keep in mind that it's always Infinity Ward that puts out the new "engine"
Anything following an IW game is just going to be that game with some amount of new content. AW did the most change by having the ammo counter on the gun instead of a UI

>>272646957
There's a WW1 shooter on steam called Verdun, it's early access though. I'm not really sure if it's good or not.

is it going to have a storyline related to black ops in any way?

reznow was in WaW, which is a loose link between the games, I guess.

Will it have zombies?

it doesnt, fuck off with your memevideo.

>>272646912
Is there going to be full blown Polish Campaign in WaW2?

How is the competition between studios? I can imagine you are trying to outdo one another.

Which COD has been the one that is considered the best by your studio? If it's a COD made by Treyarch, which one that isn't made by the company?

would WaW2 be a prequal to the original world at war? Because in black ops the guy you play as in World at War is shown dying to nova gas on that boat or are you playing as completely different characters?

>>272646912

Couldnt you have done better than working for such a gigantic mess of greed and shit as Actiblizz?

I mean I'm sure you didnt plan your life around creating shitty shooters the rest of your life but why choose this shithole?

Usually when do you get your first "you are out of time" notice after development has started on a game?

I would give you all of my money if it was an alternate history story where at the end of WW2 the allies actually go through with Operation unthinkable.

So we'll have bizarre subjects that underwent shitty experiments by Mengele? That's weird

Well shit treyfag, thanks
I might actually keep an eye out.
I tend to prefer Treyarch's games because they seem to be more unique

can you put a shoutout to 4chan as an easter egg, like the DICE anons did in BF3

Well they oughta be, they've only been making the same game for 8 years now.

I don't know if you worked on Black Ops OP, but I just wanted to say I did genuinely enjoy that game. I had some really great times with my friends because of it and if by chance you did I thought you'd like to know your work was appreciated.

Yes the soviet union was shit, thats the problem with socialism.you are not possessed to mix it with government.

Why're you showing us this, rather than information about the actual game?

A Tory is a member or supporter of the Conservative party; it's a very old term. Conmpare an constrast with a Whig, a member or supporter of the Liberal party. I didn't know Germans used Tory as slang for a Brit, that's interesting. We did have a Conservativ-led government during WW2, maybe it's got something to do with that.

But yeah, don't use the term Tory when you mean Brit, some people (myself included) would take that as a serious insult after what those cunts did in the 80s.

will there be anymore wii u CoD?

Most concept art that isn't presented to public isn't too good, it's 30 minutes with a pen and a marker on most pieces.Concept art is an idea not a poster. Artists give a direction on the art, rather than the whole idea, a game usually has hundreds of concept art pieces that are never presented outside of the department.
The more you learn.
The art that is presented to the consumer is very polished obviously.
