Westwood Studios co-founder Louis Castle, now CEO of InstantAction, said that he believes we could be playing Call of Duty: Black Ops through a web browser if he can cut a deal with Activision to sign the game to his service. Castle just kicked off the Develop Conference in Brighton with a keynote titled "Traditional Games Breaking into Social Networks".
Castle's prediction echoes recent comments from Activision big boss Bobby Kotick, who has made clear his desire to make the phenomenally successful Call of Duty franchise "an online subscription service"."They all want it," Castle said. "In fairness to the publishers, our system, we just launched it with Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition. We changed everything about InstantAction. We built it upon the base we had before. I think those are some of the issues they're concerned about: can we go to scale? These are precious gems they have. I understand why nobody wants to put their brand out there unless they're absolutely certain it's going to work and it's going to be a great consumer experience. It's thrust upon us. It's incumbent upon us to prove to them that it can work."
Great !, now we have to see the days when big games like Call Of Duty would be played through a Browser.
It would've been cool if it had a web browser game though.
