[QUOTE=Tetracycline;24852071]Because he tries to make profit but doesn't force anyone to give him money???????? Grow up kid[/QUOTE]
Stop defending his greed. That's all this is. Just because you can take more and more, doesn't mean you have to or should. He's still making a hefty profit without charging for videos. Christ, the companies have billions of dollars each, nevermind combined. I already can't afford to pay $60+ for the broken, 1/3 complete games they're releasing these days, I don't need to pay for the cutscenes on top.

I don't understand why Activision is running things when clearly Blizzard is the superior developer, [i]and[/i] they put up double the money towards the merger that Activision did.

Indeed... :smith:
[QUOTE=GodKing;24857028]You already do. That's all FF is.[/QUOTE]
afaik Advent Children started off as a cinematic short to please the fans and then the people at Square decided to make it into a full length film...
*mission ends* Please insert 20€ to watch the cutscene.
He sounds like an enthousiastic kid with no experience in leading a company at all
Black Ops had revolutionary lip-syncing? Really? Didn't notice that much of a difference.
Whoever wrote the article is a retard, on top of that the thread title is extremely misleading...

I'm guessing its pretty damn generic lip syncing if you ask me.

[QUOTE=The golden;24853839]Tetracycline is right. Kotick's customers make his actions possible. Every time you buy something with "Activision" on the box, you're making shit like this happen.
Want to do something about it? Stop buying products by that fucking company. The problems don't just magically disappear. The customer has the final say.[/QUOTE]
Tetra's also kinda stupid so it works out, tbh, but yes.
Activision has become to be such bitches about everything from even wanting to charge for playing games online.
Dear Activision, you guys used to be cool.
:sigh:
All of you get your shit together and read the damn article. He talks about making actual animated movies and not completely ripping out the cutscenes of X game and charging 30 bucks for it.

They don't need to charge $20 for 1.5 hours. It costs me $11 to see 2 hours at the theatre.
if i could I'll sell my soul to the devil to see this cunt get shot
Greed at it's finest.
Now i know why people hate Activision.

How does the ideas guy not get laughed out of the boardroom?
[QUOTE=NorthernFall;24862665]How does the ideas guy not get laughed out of the boardroom?[/QUOTE]
Cause that guy is in charge of Activision.
30 fucking dollars? I might as well use that money to buy the game itself.

The same reason nobody told George Lucas that his prequels were fucking laugh riots during production.
Cinematics are supposed to go [b]WITH[/b] the game

Bobby Kotick's head should be removed from its position.
Kotick is the Rupert Murdoch of the games world, just more evil.
Source's facial animation system > Black Ops' "facial animation system"
It is most likely going to be animated, by that I mean that it's not going to be dynamic like Source. Source does a pretty good job at facial animation.
Following this logic, Xenosaga would be worth hundreds of dollars. Episode I alone was 5 hours of cutscenes.
Also, where does this dick get the idea he can charge more than a person would pay to see a movie? I complain when I have to pay more than $10 for a REAL movie.
[QUOTE=DrMortician;24849388]Having a bunch of tacky cut scenes as opposed to working the story into the game play is a really lazy method of story development.[/QUOTE]
Valve fanboy.
What a fucking greedy asshole.
Wow
it's like apple but worse
If they corrupt Bungie I'm going to be pissed.
