Thought on Activision

Post by **a13n** » Fri Dec 15, 2006 7:55 am

You know the name of Activison because it is all around the FPS games.
I've been wondering "So what's this company is and what does it do?"
Is it simply a sucker on q3engine-based games? :icon25:
It's still a mystery to me.
But recently I've just noticed one important thing as described below.

Games published by it ascertain that history such as WWII was as it was to be said by authorities and it was quite right.(i.e. *cough* RTCW *cough*)
If you play SoF2 Single Player and you're keen about the lie and the truth, there are quite a few stories which concern with them(i.e. illegal trades in Colombia).
In SoF1 there appears a group of gangs and they are treated as enemy against police or CIA, but hey, in reality...

These settings are also often seen in Hollywood movies and not new methods though.
But at least this inspection sheds subtle light on the background of Activision, doesn't it?

As I was saying, is Activision a sucker?
Possibly not.

Essentially he who is paying salary to game developers is Activision, isn't it?
It is quite curious how many of them are aware of the policy of Activision.
Do they develop games without knowing the background?
Do Activision check if there are "malicious" contents in the game being developed?

And what about the hardware affairs?
Do they order developers "Tris count should exceed NNNN! Overdraw should reach the level where Next-Gen Pentium and GeForce can handle at most! Not the other way around! Do it for our friends(or boss)!"?

so activision have a responsibility of accurate representation and they're failing it? i don't understand.

what about the tony hawks series, the quake series - does tony hawks present an accurate view of modern town planning? does the quake series present a reasonable and proportionate response by earth to a potential alien invasion?

you should check out the articles on sites like gamasutra.com if you're interested in what gets a game published and what limits publishers might put on developers.

I don't know about tony at all, sorry.
As for quake, you know quake3 shipped with a mapobject of Jesus.
This is a representation of Satanizm.

no it didn't, and if it did, how would that be a "representation of satanism"?
