Stranglehold Delayed, New Screenshots

 

Midway today released new screens and announced a new ship date for the highly anticipated, 3rd person action game, Stranglehold. Now scheduled to ship in Q1 2007, Stranglehold allows players to experience exhilarating 3rd person next–gen action as you continue the story of John Woo's influential action film, "Hard-Boiled" starring Chow Yun–Fat.

 

Run into danger with both fists full of lead and take down the organized crime bosses who stepped over the line when they took your family. Stop at nothing as you destroy the entire world around you to get them back. You are a desperate man following your own rules; honor thy family; do what's right; fear no man.

No Gears Of War Demo Before Emergence Day

 

According to the ever-present Mark Rein of Epic Games, there will be no Gears Of War demo before November 12th, Emergence day. The demo would simply take too long to create and finalize, and there is just not enough time for that. Mind you, why they cannot take the E3 demo, tweak it, and release that, is beyond us.

Almost $1 million in COD2 maps sold

Activision CEO Robert Kotick says there were more than 500,000 Call of Duty 2 downloads in Q2 alone.

 

Publishers have taken to Xbox 360 microtransactions--extra downloadable content for released games--very carefully. Gamers have cried foul many times over the prices of extra multiplayer maps, new cars, and horse armor ever since premium content began showing up on Xbox Live Marketplace.

 

But amidst the bickering and complaining, it appears as though one company got it right. During its quarterly earnings report, Activision revealed that it has sold about $1 million in Call of Duty 2 maps alone. Call of Duty 2 has consistently been the top played Xbox 360 game over Xbox Live, and it appears as though gamers are willing to pay up for extra content.

 

In a question-and-answer session following the company's earnings call, Activision CEO Bobby Kotick broke down the number of downloads and money made by each downloadable map pack. The free bonus pack, which included two maps, tallied 334,000 downloads. The $5 Skirmish Map Pack was downloaded 105,000 times and generated $368,000, and the $10 Invasion Map Pack invaded 66,000 360s and raked in almost half a million dollars.

 

With numbers like those, it's obvious Activision will continue to pursue the potential of downloadable content for its current and future projects.

 

"During the quarter our Call of Duty maps generated approximately $1 million in revenue, a critical first step in exploiting the online revenue potential and extending the shelf life of our games," said Kotick. "This holiday we'll look to further capitalize on the success of the franchise and its online capabilities.
