Good call Activision

Spoiler

(did I really just type that?)

I'm impressed they are willing to leave that old-gen money pile behind them.

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

Sports games have not

That's normal.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

Didn't Shinobi say it is cross-gen?

 

[Chris1]

Next gen only? Good news if true.

MS fucked up if they really have lost marketing in that case. A BO3 next gen bundle is going to sell gangbusters.

 

[SMZC]

Not feeling the look of the game at all. Still, good to hear about more developers ditching PS360.

 

[Chobel]

No way Activision is ditching last gen, probably some mistake from Mashable.

Stop trusting Dennis Nedry.

 

[Stacey]

Honest question to all those actively hating on any cross-gen game: are you mad that underpowered current gen consoles are holding back PC?

When PC will have the smallest player base?

If it wasn't for these underpowered consoles PC players wouldnt be getting yearly CoD games thats for sure, so nope

 

[Floridian]

It's been time to let the last gen systems go already.

 

[gundamkyoukai]

Great news , don't play COD but the more big IP go current gen only the better .

 

[TomShoe]

Sports games have not

To be fair, sports games are always the last to leave. FIFA14 was on the PS2.

 

[kswiston]

Actually the second year.

Second year of high school does not start after you have been in high school 2 years

This is going to be the third November for both systems, hence year 3.

 

[Summer Haze]

When will people stop calling current-gen 'next-gen'? It's been a year and a half...

 

[H4r4kiri]

Looks like they will use the same engine with the the same problems in multiplayer. not going to buy it.

 

[Infurino]

Good news.

 

[Randam]

and that article is trustworthy?
where did they get their information?

 

[Mr Moose]

I'll believe it when it's officially announced to be this gen only.

Second year of high school does not start after you have been in high school 2 years

This is going to be the third November for both systems, hence year 3.

That's not how years work.
Edit: OK I kind of get what you are saying, but in November, it'll be 2 full years, and just starting it's 3rd.

 

[Chaos2Frozen]

Launch year was year 1. We are in the middle of Year 2. Nov starts Year 3.

So "year 1" only lasted 2 months?

 

[Bishop89]

the line after that does say:



But that's obvious bullshit. Yes you'll be able to ignore the new controls but to act like you won't be at a disadvantage if you're not gallivanting around on jetpacks is naive. I'll have to see these maps.

I dont see it working at all. I WANT to be proven wrong, but I have no faith it will work.
I cant see how the person not jetpacking around wont have the disadvantage.

 

[Shauni]

and that article is trustworthy?
where did they get their information?

I'll echo this. Where exactly is their information coming from? I didn't think the reveal happened until later today.

 

[ShogunDarius]

So "year 1" only lasted 2 months?

nov 13 - nov 14 year 1
nov 14 - nov 15 year 2
nov 15 - nov 16 year 3

 

[Stacey]

Remove boost strafing and jet packs will work, until then...............well.

 

[Majanew]

Second year of high school does not start after you have been in high school 2 years

November 2015, the PS4 and XB1 will have been out for 2 years. You wouldn't say PS4 and XB1 have been out for 1 year when they launched Nov 2013.

I'm with you. It sounds like a developer trying to have their cake and eat it too. Everyone wins! But I just don't see how that makes sense. They just don't want to upset anyone.

 

[Smooth Operator]

Black Ops 3 has the most fluid movement system of any CoD game yet. You can run along a wall, jetpack through the air, switch directions mid-jump and land with a lengthy power-slide.

YES ! Thank you based Treyarch !

 

[Grover Cleveland]

The two biggest shooters of the year are both current-gen only.

Time to close the book on 360 and PS3

 

[kswiston]

So "year 1" only lasted 2 months?

Year 1: Nov 2013 - Oct 2014
Year 2: Nov 2014 - Oct 2015
Year 3: Nov 2015 - Oct 2016

 

[BY2K]

Call of Titanfall: Mankind Divided.

 

[Skux]

About damn time. This should move quite a few consoles too.

 

[jett]

Looks like AW.

 

[Son Of D]

This could be a case where the main team is doing the PS4, Xbox One and PC versions and a smaller team works on PS3/360.

 

[Springy]

When PC will have the smallest player base?

If it wasn't for these underpowered consoles PC players wouldnt be getting yearly CoD games thats for sure, so nope

I presumed that people disliked cross-gen development because of its potential to limit a game's scope and graphics, not because of market concerns. If so, then logically y'all should be mad that the PS4 is choking the potential of PC hardware; if not, then I misunderstood the source of emnity.

 

[jschreier]

I don't know for sure but I don't think this is true, FWIW.

 

[Mr Moose]

This could be a case where the main team is doing the PS4, Xbox One and PC versions and a smaller team works on PS3/360.

That's what I thought. I still think there will be PS3/360 versions of the game.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

I don't know for sure but I don't think this is true, FWIW.

Which part of it?

Seems weird that mashable would publish a totally BS article.

 

[tapedeck]

Thank Christ, I'm pleasantly surprised.

 

[Dinda]

I have absolutely no interest in CoD, but this can only be good for the industry. Get the masses to move to current gen.

I don't know for sure but I don't think this is true, FWIW.

Oh well

 

[DieH@rd]

Bold move for not supporting oldgen, but I cheer them for it.

 

[The_Monk]

I was not expecting this to be honest, I'm sure this game would still sell a lot in the PS3 and the Xbox 360. Either way, consider me curious.

I wonder if they are doing a little something for the previous gen? I'm thinking something like when Ubisoft released AC Unity and AC Rogue.

 

[Karu]

Sounds really awesome and might be the first time I buy a CoD after getting the previous version.

The article acted like the movement changes in Advanced Warfare never happened, though. :-/ #PRbullshit

 

[On Demand]

Launch year was year 1. We are in the middle of Year 2. Nov starts Year 3.

What? You're talking about starting? The consoles have been on the market for a year and a half. This Nov makes it 2 years.

 

[jschreier]

Which part of it?

Seems weird that mashable would publish a totally BS article.

That it's current-gen-only.

 

[Hip Hop]

I don't know for sure but I don't think this is true, FWIW.

Yeah, this really doesn't confirm it. It just doesn't mention it, but it doesn't straight out say "not cross-gen".

 

[Obliterator]

Yes! I called it!

Some massive hardware numbers are coming in November

 

[Jigolo]

I'll echo this. Where exactly is their information coming from? I didn't think the reveal happened until later today.

Developer Treyarch is taking a luxurious three years to complete Black Ops 3, and based on the demos journalists played during a recent studio visit it seems they haven't wasted any of that time.

I'm guess other sites are under embargo. Mashable probably broke the embargo

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

Why the celebration? It looks just like AW which Sledgehammer built around current gen hardware.

 

[Jimmyfenix]

Someone posted in the leak thread that gamestop is not letting people reserve it for old gen systems.

 

[air jordans for dogs]

What about the wii u?

 

[FATALITY]

yep it will be system seller

 

[Springy]

I don't know for sure but I don't think this is true, FWIW.

This article is describing Treyarch's work. Wasn't the earlier rumor that another studio would be handling 360/PS3/WiiU versions? Would make sense if the article's author wasn't exposed to those versions.
