Activision lets CoD5 facts loose; The PSP is left out ... again.

StarJet | 5 days 17 hours ago | News | PC Playstation 2 
As there is very little information about Call of Duty 5, Activision CEO Mike Griffith gave some info about the game. This time, it covers almost all platforms except the PSP. Why the PSP is left out this time as well, no one knows.
Griffith said that CoD5 would be available on PS2, PS3, Xbox 360, Wii, DS, and PC. That pretty much covers every platform but the PSP. Why this is, is anyone’s guess. Griffith also pointed out that CoD5 will be using the same game engine that was used in CoD4. As for the game’s setting, “We’ll bring the intensity of the recent Call of Duty: Modern Warfare title to a new military theater to engage our significantly larger user base which nearly doubled last year as new users came into the franchise.”

Whether the “new military theater” in the next game is set in modern times or back in the WWII era as recently rumored is yet unknown. CoD4’s time period no doubt played no small role in the growth of the franchise’s user base, which leaves me cauciously optimistic that Activision wouldn’t want to lose all these newly-found users by sending them back to the often frequented ditches of WWII.

    The majority of times when a game is released on every platform, it's shit.

    ^^ well said, friend. Multi plats have gotten less and less exciting. Maybe Star Wars: Force Unleashed will bring justice to the whole multi platform thing?

    Hope it isn't in WWII. I prefer modern combat so much more.

      Agreed. The "updated" weapons and terrain that tag along with modern war are much better.

    Haha, well said, Auctoria, although Infinity Ward did a great job with the multi-platform title, CoD4, I don't see Treyarch keeping up with that flow.

      When you guys talking about multiplatform do you mean all or just a couple of consoles?

    That was multiplatform to a certain degree. PS3 and Xbox360 are alot more similar than PS3, and Wii. If this game is releasing on all platforms, then somethings gotta give. Wii and PS2 will lose the graphics, and DS will lose alot more, but something else will get lost in translation. And goddamn, who cares about WWII.

    Final Blade, multi-platform does mean more than one platform, yes, but in this case, they're probably talking about the games that come for almost all platforms. Those almost-all-platforms games aren't that good anymore. See what NFS ProStreet is like?
