While the PSP is currently surviving on slim pickings, the PlayStation 2 continues to fade out gracefully with news that Rebellion are working on Call of Duty: World at War: Final Fronts for the system. It’s not a conversion of either the upcoming Wii or PlayStation 3 versions of World of War, but a new game built from scratch.
Perhaps ‘scratch’ isn’t the best word to use there. Rebellion have a reputation (a good one, in fact) for turning out games in just a matter of months by recycling textures and engines from previous works. Take a look at Alien vs Predator: Requiem and Dead to Rights on PSP for proof.
The thing that I find amusing is that Call of Duty 4 never appeared on PlayStation 2 – or Wii – but World at War is. But still – well done Activision for supporting the format.
