Rumor: Call of Duty exclusivity deal moving over to PlayStation?

4.3
We can’t imagine a world where Call of Duty and Microsoft part ways, but just because we can’t imagine it doesn’t mean it could never happen. There’s a lot of rumors circulating that Microsoft may have lost the exclusivity and/or marketing deal for Call of Duty this year to PlayStation. Rumors started with industry insiders and quickly began to look like a possibility once the Black Ops 3 teasers hit.

DLC is just the first half of the equation. What would this mean for future Black Ops 3 events? or Call of Duty Championship 2016?

Exhibit A) Official Sony Twitter account tweeted both teasers and uploaded to their YouTube channels at the exact time they went live. Microsoft waited at least an hour in both cases.

Exhibit B) Sony hasnt uploaded a Call of Duty video since Call of Duty Ghosts.

Exhibit C) No Xbox One branding at begining of teasers.

Exhibit D) Neogaf “Industry Insider” Kyoufu is indcating that the Call of Duty exclusivity deal has moved over to Sony.

At the very least, it looks like Sony is showing more CoD love this year. We should know for sure this Sunday when the first full trailer for Call of Duty Black Ops 3 releases. Every reveal trailer has been attached with a press release that announces its renewed partnership with Microsoft so time will tell soon….

It's about time, hopefully this will happen because I hate getting them a month late.

TomPosted:

Doesnt really matter to me. I can care less on who gets the map pack a month early.

well we know for sure microsoft has not been bragging about it this time around so maby they lost it but sony decided to pass on it as well so it will just be released everywhere at the same time?

The same "rumour" was said before ghost came out and again last year. Why should we think any different now?.

1989 I honestly do hope this does not happen. It would be bad for Activision if they did that.


How would it be bad for Activision exactly? If Sony put up more money than MS surely that's good for Activision?

1989Posted:

Rin This really doesn't change anything other than advertising and early DLC. It won't do anything to improve gameplay. People are getting worked up for nothing.


Yeah but Xbox users are used to having DLC a month early not a month late.

yo2434 there's quiet a large difference from getting ddos'd (which is practically unstopable at that scale) to having your security breached with 77million accounts of unencrypted data stolen... not to mention last years hack of sony, almost 50000 people had their social security #'s stolen and released to the world and those again were unencrypted, there's NO excuse for that.
so to you i ask, would you rather have ddosing or ddosing and having nearly all of your info as open as a book sitting on a library table?

Sony can't even keep a complex security from 15 year old hackers. I wouldn't trust that company at all. They false advertised the ps vita and they also abandoned the ps vita. I'd rather be exclusive with a company that has a better rep overall. and that's Microsoft.


Lol, these days XBL is down almost as much as PSN. Unacceptable, Microsoft have no excuse for this whatsoever.


I'd rather the superior console. Never really been into 900p.


Your eyes won't tell the diffrence between 1080 and 900p...... If you can, you need to get some sun.


annndddd this is where my built pc master-race in me would say, max settings with higher than 1080p resolution with 60+ fps > consoles.... but in the real world games are meant for fun not trying to have the most photorealistic games possible which is why my ps4 and pc don't get as much use as my xbone. btw, a good chunk of ps4 games are 900p too, so you better not play those either.


But you can't see more than 30fps. Also more people own a play station or xbox console to play with friends so your only friends must be online only friends. I guarantee you if you go to any collage of school and say to anyone what is a good motherboard for my gaming pc they won't have a clue and call you a nerd. Console ftw


I really hope you're joking. The human eye does not work like a **** camera for **** sakes.


um yeah a 30 fps camera for an eye, good one there...and do you not realize computer science and related degrees are pretty common in college, im going into software engineering so yeah most people i'll talk to could answer that.


Looks like your going to fail, your eyes can't see more than 30 fops you idiot...... You can't tell the diffemce between them. You need to open some books before you state false claims lmao


your eye doesn't see in fps, with that said the USAF research this topic and concluded that with certain people and certain conditions their pilots could percieve and rcognize different frames up to 200+fps. 30 fps is just generally where this will start to look smoothed out bc what your watching probably doesn't have anything moving too fast or changing too much from the previous frame. if you had a really fast moving object or had frames changing colors for example, at 30fps it would probably look choppy and at say 80fps it would smooth out again and if you increased how radical of a difference there was between frames you'd have to move up to say 120fps to see it smooth out again. but how does anatomy of the human eye relate to a bs in computer science/software engineering?btw attacking the other person in an arguement usually just means you've ran out of ammo and have no real basis for your side of the argument.

If these 2 look the same to you then I suggest getting your brain/eyes checked pal.

Ok, you're telling me you can't tell the difference between GTA V on PC running at 60fps and GTA V running at 30FPS on console? You're stupid beyond words lol.
