Bourne license escapes from Activision

mrclean2988, um "Our colleagues at Vivendi Games did a tremendous job of capturing the spirit and allure of Robert Ludlum's writing with The Bourne Conspiracy..."

Hmmm... Treadstone... Great name for a game... :P

This game was great, I'm glad they picked the license back up so now there will be a sequel.

I didnt care much for this game

Guess they weren't too thrilled with Conspiracy's reception.

the first game was ok it could have been better like better gunfights and a longer story and the worst part of the game is that once your done there is nothing else to do so im not sure if ill get the next

Interesting, I don't know what Activision is up too.

The demo was really good, but I don't want to pay full price for a single player only game. Also, what is up with all the hate towards it?

[This message was deleted at the request of the original poster]

the game looked cool, but it was as cool as S***

I didnt' buy the game because the demo was horrible.

The game was utterly terrible so I just hope somebody else can do something good with Bourne.

the only problem with the game was the terrible driver sections. get someone who can fix those!

This is one of the many titles Activision's going to lose out on.

Yeah the films were awesome, I'm still playing the game. I'm not too worried who gets the licence as long as they do it justice, really good justice mind you. What I really want is 2 or 3 more games, one that follows the Supremacy, then the Ultimatum. Maybe a final one with something after the Ultimatum in consultation with the Ludlum Estate. I just think all things Bourne are just great :)

The movies were awesome, and the game was good. I hope this license falls into capable hands.

I hope that this License gets the care that it deserves from whichever party decides to publish the next Bourne game. It's hard to think that another developer is going to get a hold of the franchise considering that "The Bourne Conspiracy" is actually a pretty damn good game, And this is coming from someone who can't stand the Bourne movies. (You can thank Matt Damon for that) Also, Lamprey is right, It's the switch between Infinity Ward and Treyarch that makes or breaks (respectively) the COD franchise.

I would've liked to have seen Vivendi improve / build upon The Bourne Conspiracy. I think they did a better job than expected. I hope whoever picks up the license does the franchise justice.

@gamepro345 "too bad the only Call of Duty games by activision are the inferior ones" actually, Activision published all the Call of Duty games, it's the developers they switch off between between every other game

WHO CARES?!

I think they have bigger plans than more stupid bourne games ...MATT DAMON!

I liked the demo of the Bourne Conspiracy title. Not enough to pay 60 for it, but still seemed pretty solid, especially for a movie tie in sorta title.I'll buy it when it gets reduced.

too bad the only Call of Duty games by activision are the inferior ones. lol, but thats beside the point, I thought the Bourne Conspiracy was a great game, as far as movie titles go, and as a fan of the series it was alot of fun to play, and im hoping another developer picks it up and makes a sequel.

You're missing one of the crafts there (the better one tbh) and appear to have disregarded Diablo (also superior to Warcraft) as well. Seems a shame to try and defend a company and then miss out the two best series as evidence for your statement.

Activision Blizzard is HUGE. They're currently involved with many brands. Tony Hawk, Call of Duty, Guitar Hero, James Bond, Spider-Man, Doom, Quake, Warcraft, Crash, Spryo... People don't realize just how massive the company really is.

Thats a pretty good question wwonka666... It would seem that Ghostbusters is shapeing up to be at the very least a moderate success, if not a really big hit. Kinda strange they would pass on it, but oh well someone else will pick it up.

this bad news for activision

Wow, Activision calling all the shots? Why wouldn't they want Ghostbusters?

well, being how they just got the rights they obviously hadn't made anything yet, so I imagine this'll take another 2 years for the next game, nothing to get excited about yet, they should have been smart and planned a multiple game deal from the beginning, though, i see what Activision is doing, they do the same thing for the COD games, they're gonna get two studios working on this game, as their project times are about 2 years, so when the next game comes out in two years, about a year afterwards the sequel will be released, and then that sequel will be released and so on, and the two developers will alternate each year in releasing their 2 year long projects

The last game was kind of...meh. There is definitely the potential to make an awesome game out of the property, so I hope they find someone that can do it. In other news...his name is weiner....heh heh.

activision's having a bad week....

The first game was an OK game but now they are going to have someone else doing another? I thought that the reason for continuing on with another game would be to allow the devs to make improvements to what was originally produced making the gameplay better. Now another studio is going to start from scratch.....well good luck because I liked the movies and will be getting the game very soon.

that was fast...

Nice going! Activision would of thrown it out the door just like they did with other games.

That was quick...

hope they make another game
