Treyarch Explains Why Call of Duty Black Ops 3 Isn’t XB1/PS4 Exclusive

4.8
Treyarch will be returning to the Call of Duty fold later this year with Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 in November.

While some of its decisions have irked fans (just look at a few negative reactions to the new Zombies mode), it’s pretty much a given that Black Ops 3 will be a major success. The question is: Did Treyarch miss out on having the game only for current gen hardware?

There are arguments both for and against focusing on new hardware, as Treyarch director of brand development Jay Puryear told Gaming Bolt. When asked about there being any specific reason why a previous gen release was happening, Puryear said, “Is there a reason?! We’ve got great fans. Call of Duty experiences are always about the community and fans and we want to make sure that everybody who wants to play Black Ops III can.”

Will the hype for Black Ops 3 be justified at launch, especially considering previous entries like Advanced Warfare didn’t quite set the world on fire? “Of course! Right? I mean look at it, the team has worked 3 years to pour their hearts and soul to deliver a product that will push on single-player campaign with four-player co-op on next-gen. We’re really pushing the system in the machine and hardware.

“If you look at all the innovations that we’re doing on multiplayer and really adding this combat loop, progression system, specialists characters. So, there is just so much content on the disc and then when we roll out our zombies I think you’ll see that we’ve got 3 games in 1. So, as far as the content and the experience we’ll get out of this, we think is absolutely by far the best.”
Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 is out on Xbox One, Xbox 360, PS3, PS4 and PC on November 6th.

Miss Still think they should have went with a World War II-era game rather than this cliche, terrible futuristic shit.

I agree completely i hate this futuristic "cod" it doesnt even feel like call of duty anymore!

To be honest in my opinion I think Treyarch should not release the game on the old gen consoles as we are going to have modders and reversed boosting people now. This is a bad idea for them to do this as many modders are going to hack up the leader boards as they do on Advanced Warfare.

Advanced Warfare on the 360 has terrible graphics and FPS. I don't know how it would be on the old generation consoles.

Alfa For the love of god, no more CoD news. It's a dead series.


Lol, did you really just say that? What makes you believe CoD is a dead series?


Exactly. I might not be a fan of CoD, but it's a simple fact that it's one of the best selling game series of all time, even to this day.

It's on its way down. They no longer are breaking sales records and are getting further and further away from what they used to make. It only sold great because Activison put more money into the PR hype train then the actual development. People are finally realizing that all these "news" sites and big YouTubers that hype up these games are full of crap and these games are copy and pastes of the last one with very minimal difference (AW is the most change we've seen since CoD 4's complete overhaul of the CoD MP)


See, I'm not the only one that gets it. On top of the misleading hype train that everyone gets on, they keep adding stuff to appeal to kids now. I would bet that the people who played CoD 4 and MW2 would prefer to see a remake of those games than to have another exo-suit infested piece of garbage. It's no fun anymore, and the number of people consistently online is dropping steadily.


From where COD use to be to where its at now, you can safely say its a dying series.
