Does The Public Know Who Develops Call of Duty?
This story was originally published on May 30th, 2014 but we wanted to resurface it with the official reveal of Infinity Ward's Cal of Duty: Infinite Warfare.
With our June cover story on Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, we introduced you to the new primary developer for the Call of Duty series Sledgehammer Games. With the expanding roster of studios and new three-year development cycle between Treyarch, Infinity Ward, and Sledgehammer Games, we started to wonder if the average Call of Duty player would recognize the names of the developers. To close things out for our month of coverage, we roped in Game Informer's Ben Reeves to hit the streets of Minneapolis to talk to the public about the Call of Duty series and how much they know about game development. If you like this sort of thing, feel free to check out our previous man-on-the-street videos on the Wii U and the Xbox One versus the PlayStation 4.
Watch the video below to learn whether the tiny sliver of the public that is familiar with Call of Duty knows where the games come from.
