The curious case of the reflex

[vampiricdescent]

While everybody's got their panties in a twist over Modern Warfare 2 coming out next week, another story has been going on about this year's Wii Call of Duty offering. It's not Modern Warfare 2. No, it's actually a port of the original Modern Warfare released two years ago for HD consoles, and retitled Call of Duty: Modern Warfare: Reflex Edition.

Not completely related but I must comment on this reply in the conspiracy theory thread:

Developers are supposed to be like artists, they create art to make the world more colorful and pride themselves in the joy they can bring to the world through their hard work and imagery of the world.

I'm sorry, but this man has never met an artist in his life.

*Ahem*

As for IW, this wouldn't surprise me. Big companies like Activision, Microsoft, Ubisoft, etc. always get the fingers pointed at them because of "OMG! EVIL CORPORATION IS RUINING MAH FAVORITE FRANCHISE!!!" I'd wager that, as unfortunately common as it is, executive meddling is not the source of as much woe as it's made out to be. Developers aren't all rainbows and ponies themselves.

The latest picture of Will Wright disagrees with you:

You have to take into account that Will Wright is a rule unto himself.

This is true...

IW have shown themselves to be dicks lately so I'm not surprised if this were to be true.
