That's unexpected.

How so? Writing was on the wall over the past year. Only MGS5/Fox Engine is about the only "cross-gen" title left, AFAIK?

Rise of Tomb Raider too

 

[Pankratous]

Great news.

And for some bizarre reason Tomb Raider

 

[JohnnyFootball]

Major props to Activision for this. We love to hate on them, but this is the kind of moves that are going to push next gen adoption.

If the Sony getting CoD marketting this time around turns out to be true, then that may well end up being a giant coup.

 

[NastyBook]

lol Activision bout to drag a lot of people kicking and screaming into current gen. Gamestop to be drowning in PS3/360s this holiday.

 

[GodofWine]

Hype up...might come back to cod, loved both blops.

Hype down, until I see how batshit stupid the movement is.

Hype up, three years development.

So I'm a +1 on hype

 

[jesu]

Probably not true.

 

[Paz]

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

Where do you draw the line on the term 'PC'? The vast majority (as in > 99%) of PC exclusive games released in the last year would run just fine on PS4/XBone.

Nothing is 'holding back' those games fyi.

Compare this to having to design your game around 512MB RAM as just one example and yeah this comparison doesn't hold up.

 

[Acquiescence]

Great news, but it took too damn long for publishers to say goodbye to last gen. The same process will happen again too with the next generation of consoles.

 

[Son Of D]

I would be surprised if this is true. Maybe the last gen version has a slightly different name/subtitle?

Black Ops Declassified 2?

 

[OrbitalBeard]

There's absolutely no way a last gen version of CoD isn't being worked on for release this fall alongside the current gen game. The Xbox 360 Advanced Warfare SKU sold the most copies at launch. Activision isn't done with 360 and PS3 yet.

 

[nOoblet16]

I said this in the other thread but I'll say it again, Advanced Warfare wasn't being held back graphically for being on PS360 as it used a different engine for those platforms. It looked damn fine graphically and even tech wise it was pretty damn advanced while maintaining a pretty slick performance.

Though we can expect bigger areas and some changes in level design now that it's current gen only.

Not to mention the majority of PC players are gaming on rigs around the strength of PS4 / Xbone. Now in 3 or so years that will be a different story

 

[jschreier]

Yeah and he's a journalist so I'm sure he has the press release. It must be cross gen.

If I had the press release, I'd say so. I don't have any official information from Activision; I just don't think this is true based on what I've heard.

 

[Newtype-001]

Is the link dead?

 

[Obliterator]

Ah my bad Jason, sorry didn't want to put any words in your mouth. I just assumed since the reveal was today basically all the journos got press releases. My bad man

 

[Scully Scully Scoo]

woah. ps4/x1 sales are going to explode this fall

 

[StealthGoblin]

When is the official full reveal?

 

[Bob White]

Wow...this is massive. Feels weird saying there won't be a COD for 360 this year.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

Wow...this is massive. Feels weird saying there won't be a COD for 360 this year.

There will be, guaranteed. It might be a different game or a massively downgraded BO3 port, but 360 and PS3 are sure to get CoD this fall.

 

[TacticalFox88]

Why are some of you complaining about the movement?

They're changing the franchise up after stagnation that started with AW.

 

[Blackthorn]

So with both Black Ops and Advanced Warfare going for the near future setting, what on earth differentiates them now?

 

[Obliterator]

Well from the description BO3 has classes with supers like Destiny so that's one thing.

 

[FATALITY]

Really ?

lol jaggies on truck
thats some next level of nitpicking.
gamers these days

 

[Turkoop]

When's the Reveal ?

 

[Javin98]

Great news. Hopefully this game will look even better than Advanced Warfare.

 

[MilesTeg]

I'll wait for the press release

 

[Summer Haze]

lol jaggies on truck
thats some next level of nitpicking.

That lack of AF, though....

Bleh.

 

[FourMyle]

Really ?

this is some pathetic nitpicking lol

 

[FATALITY]

That lack of AF, though....

Bleh.

yeah the game releases in november.

 

[Armadilo]

10 AM pacific

 

[KainXVIII]

Screens look identical to AW :/

.

 

[Nvzman]

So with both Black Ops and Advanced Warfare going for the near future setting, what on earth differentiates them now?

BO3 = More horizontal agility, co-op campaign, class based MP
AW = Vertical agility
So basically AW is the same old CoD stuff but with exos while BO3 is a massive departure in everything except exos (kinda).

 

[Inuhanyou]

This'll be my first and last COD. I think with this, i'm absolutely fine

 

[patchday]

That's excellent news yo. Time to leave the older gen consoles in the past

 

[IceDoesntHelp]

Yay ! Give me the goods Treyarch!

 

[Caffeine]

not sure if legit

 

[Älg]

Sooo, the article is down. What was the source that they quoted in the article?

 

[JumPeRJumPzZ]

.

Why not wait until we see it in motion?

 

[PROh1bited]

This holiday is going to be huge for PS4 and Xbone sales.

 

[RoboPlato]

This is a big deal. CoD dropping last gen will move consoles.

 

[patchday]

Sooo, the article is down. What was the source that they quoted in the article?

yeah I am doubtful older gen consoles are getting kicked to the curb

 

[alr1ght]

Sooo, the article is down. What was the source that they quoted in the article?

[KZObsessed]

Reading the article I don't think that's really confirmation it's not coming to last gen systems. Would be good if true, as it'd move a lot of PS4s this holiday.

 

[EL CUCO]

Meanwhile, over 186,000 people playing Blops 2 on PS3, atm. The hype is real.

 

[alr1ght]

I think the confusion comes from the beta platforms

[Kill3r7]

Agreed. Very excited and surprised by the news given how well AW sold on 360. This holiday season is going to totally nuts.

 

[Hyperborean]

This is great news. Cross gen needs to die.

I got Advanced Warfare with my PS4, and to my suprise, I really enjoyed it. Might have something to do with a jump in graphics and last gen fatigue though. If there is a demo for Black OPs 3, I'll try it.

 

[anexanhume]

This is a big deal. CoD dropping last gen will move consoles.

Now I'm extra curious who has dat marketing deal. I assume it's Xbone.
