So no Vita version then? I guess this means we can shelve the idea of crossplatform multiplayer with the PS3.

And yes, somebody had to say it. May as well be me.

This is more of a good thing, that means the Cod on Vita will be only available on Vita. If the same Cod was available on PS360 and PC people wouldn't see it as a reason to get a Vita.


I've read your second post, but I still have to ask, who the .... would think even a exclusive COD game is worth buying a Vita for? O.o

Bros maybe? For the same reason people bought PSP for MH (just apply that reason to very, very different people). I'm not saying I'm 100% sure this will happen, but I know plenty of guys in my school who'll buy a Vita if it means they could play Cod and Fifa anywhere.

I don't know about that. Firstly, an exclusive CoD would lack a number and it's clear that numbers sell. Secondly, without crossplatform multiplayer, Vita owners will be all on their own and have to build their own community instead of being able to tie in with a large existing one.

Black ops didn't have a number, nor did World at war, both of which sold better than their numbered predecessors. I don't think building a community will be a problem, most of the people I know that play Cod (a lot, I'm in secondary school) mostly play by themselves, it's lone-wolf type multiplayer. I brought my Vita into school a few weeks ago and all the chavvy/bro-type guys were super impressed by it, they wanted it. 2 of them even specifically mentioned buying one if Cod was on it, I'm sure the rest were thinking the same. I know it's a small sample of people, but I think it's still a good representation. 

If it is just a straight port though, I don't think it'll give it too much of a push.

Global product manager Kevin O'Leary belittles Activsion's just-announced Call of Duty game, suggesting yearly release cycle not ideal.

Activision formally took the wraps off Call of Duty: Black Ops II last night, giving fans a first glimpse at this year's new series entry. Not everyone is excited about the game, as Electronic Arts global product manager Kevin O'Leary took to Twitter today to belittle the title.

"Poor [Black Ops II], you look tired, you should take a year off and rest," he wrote.

O'Leary did not provide a rationale as to why he finds the game to appear in need of rest, and as of press time, he had not dispatched a follow-up tweet.

EA will ship a new shooter three weeks ahead of Black Ops II this October in the form of the multiplatform Medal of Honor: Warfighter. That game is a sequel to 2010's Medal of Honor reboot, which received a warm critical reception and shipped over 5 million copies.

And the smacktalking begins again! ;-D

That's the only way EA can promote their games. By bashing someone elses.

Millions of people. COD is the best selling franchise on PS3. Its a system seller.

COD is the best selling franchise on 360 too, we all know that. But it still doesn't explain why someone would be crazy enough too buy a PSV just for COD when there's way better franchises coming (that they'll likely ignore) and it probably won't be as "good' as the console versions.
