The Line Drive 5/30
The Line Drive is a weekly collection of news, links, and updates that didn’t necessarily warrant their own postings.
- FIFA Superstars has launched on Facebook. Click here to access the application. The game is free to play with optional microtransactions.
- I had wondered if the “Online Pass” would eliminate Gamestop preorder deals for EA Sports games. It may not have done that but it seems to have at least reduced their importance. Madden 11 will get you 20,000 coins for use in Madden Ultimate Team while NCAA 11 will provide a recruit boost.
- To unlock Shaq for use in UFC 2010 do the following at the main menu: (360) Right, Up, Left, Right, Down, Left, Up, Right, Down, Left, X, Y, Y, X, Start. (PS3) Right, Up, Left, Right, Down, Left, Up, Right, Down, Left, Square, Triangle, Triangle, Square, Start.
- E3 is now just two weeks away. Make sure you’re following on Twitter and “like” on Facebook for extended on-the-floor coverage.
Treyarch working solely on Call of Duty
Having worked on nothing but the Call of Duty franchise since 2008, Treyarch should be announcing a new videogame soon, right? Fat chance, says studio head Mark Lamia.
“Treyarch is a 100-percent Call of Duty studio — and it has been for a long time now, long before any of [the Infinity Ward] events occurred,” said Lamia.
All the studio’s efforts have been aimed towards making the “best Call of Duty game we possibly can,” aka Call of Duty Black Ops, which Lamia says meant they worked on nothing else. Having several teams in-studio didn’t change anything: “…focusing on Call of Duty and Call of Duty gameplay meant focusing all of our teams on that,” he says.
