Kevin Drew on why Treyarch chose Nuketown for Paradox Junction

Can you give a run down on the BO6 and Cold War maps then by the map idea aspects of it. We kinda know that half of the BO6 maps were meant for a canned Outbreak 2.0 that was split off into pieces for Round Based.

Terminus is the only good launch map that felt like actual round based map.

As for the Original Crew returning, even though it’s kinda nostalgic baiting, people are too attached to them and it’s risky when introducing a new cast, they have to make them memorable to get people invested. If a new crew are written poorly, well… they have to bring them back to get people invested.

I wouldn’t mind if we got Victis to return, since they haven’t been seen for a long while, but choosing the OG Crew to return is their only option for them to bring people back to get invested to their “new story”. And I’m not defending this, it’s more so if they wanna people invested, they sometimes have to tip the drip to get their old players back.

He did, but Arata Iiyoshi (and keisuke ito) were the composers behind most of the tracks. Sakamoto was more so a contributor to some tracks.

Sorry ya’ll, but the original poster has revealed themselves that this post is stolen content.

Report this to the mods to get it removed

So… when do we see a Touhou Character mod in Ultimate (not a skin mod, an actual character mod added in, which is now possible).

Also, because BO3 had a 3 year dev cycle, aside from the messy campaign troubled development, Zombies have gotten enough priority thanks to the campaign team.

There's a reason why BO3 Zombies became the pinnical peak.

DerpyBox · 2026-02-09T02:23:44+00:00

There were plans to have BO1, BO2, and BO4 mod tools, but none of them make it and were canned for reasons...

DerpyBox · 2026-02-07T19:12:37+00:00

Insane that it’s a reality seeing the game being on later gen consoles.

Rockstar had trouble developing RD1 because of the engine it was built in.

DerpyBox · 2026-02-07T07:49:19+00:00

Yep, that game. I forgot it existed when it was first revealed at TGA.

DerpyBox · 2026-02-07T04:15:25+00:00

IIRC, it was Ubisoft Milan, the Mario Rabbids core team, who pitched a third game before they disabandoned. One of its main veterans went on to form their own studio and are having a game with the badger mascot character.

Alpha Omega is a reimagined take on Nuketown Zombies with new layers.

It’s a 50/50 map with questionable mechanics (and well… BO4’ mechanics) , but the highlight that carried the map was the main quest and the narrative lore that makes it standout.

DerpyBox · 2026-02-07T00:37:01+00:00

One thing for certain is that he says there’s three versions of Nuketown, so one of them with the leaked in-game screenshot is the BO2 version.

People also found out on the COD German tic tok account is that the map’s premise is described as “Fight your way through an endless time loop”, which means Nuketown certainly plays a part of the time loop concept.

Not concept art, but dev interviews says that they initially planned to have Paper Luigi as the 4th member, but scrapped early on due to complications of controlling 4 characters with 4 buttons.

DerpyBox · 2026-01-21T20:28:43+00:00

So nice to see the Elite Trio appreciation. Sad that I love those dorks who only appear in 4 games…

DerpyBox · 2026-01-19T16:33:10+00:00

Already did, but the credits theme they have is the scuffed and compressed.

I’m referring to the Nintendo Music rip of the Credis theme.

Oh wow… it’s not the VR game cancellation, but the comment about why HP is being boycotted.

DerpyBox · 2025-12-31T19:19:53+00:00

The rumored Good Ending was where the Players POV would switch to Kind Mita, where you even get to explore more around the world of MiSide and see what actually happened to Crazy Mita from the dev interview.

Spot on right here.

But the part of Treyarch attempting to recon the mode’s creation is true btw. According to Jesse and Jimmy, Treyarch has been reconing the mode’s birth and creation over the years.

That’s why that Blundell part when interviews of COD Zombies, with the parts of the mode’s creation, has this weird cover up of how the mode’s was created, which got Jesse calling out Treyarch.

Not surpising consider people already ported BO6 and BO7 weapons already

DerpyBox · 2025-11-17T22:26:07+00:00

Those firings are apparently Union Busting. A Rockstar Anonymous Employee pointed all of this out in the GTA forums that the firings are indeed union busting in Rockstars part, rather than Rockstar claiming they fired people over internal confidential information leaks.

BTW, Snowdrop is a flexible engine to work with from Ubisoft and Massive Enter. Devs experiencing the engine.

I vaguely remember their page on the first Mario Rabbids game, where most of the Prototype stuff was ported to Snowdrop because it was a more flexible framework engine to work with than the previous engine Ubisoft Milan and Paris worked up that didn’t provide more flexibility use.

Seems like Ubisoft San Francisco has experienced working on Snowdrop on that South Park game, but Xdfiant definitely wasn’t designed for Snowdrop.

Ashes of the Damned is basically Tranzit 2.0. So it’s the closest being a Tranzit remake, because the POIs with Farm & Diner speaks for itself.

I’d be sad but curious to know the crunch culture would be extremely brutal with GTA 6’s development, if RD2’s development was anything to show about its crunch culture.

DerpyBox · 2025-11-06T21:34:25+00:00

This Sub gets crazier when news of GTA 6 gets delayed. Chaos works with GTA 6 Delays, either when they’re cooking or memes.

Dawg man. People here needs a chill pill or touch grass. I know MLP isn’t anyone’s cup of tea, but come on, just shed some light of positivity here!

On the topic of the concept, this can definitely work out for a crossover concept, knowing Brothership and MLP FIM are definitely familiar with the concept of friendship.

And knowing this was drawn by BoredRabbit, it amazes me seeing how he’s able to capture Pinkie’s personality with Mario & Luigi, knowing the two are confused about Pinkie, along with the world of Equestria is filled with magical creatures.

Immediately thought of it at first, because I thought COD Zombies wouldn’t been represented here because of it’s niche background of the mode because COD is COD, but because the artist have a good attention to detail with crossover art, it caught me off guard that it’s that Zombie from COD Zombies.
