SURPRISE! Black Ops III announced for PS3/360, no Wii U version planned

No Wii U version in the works, though.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 has been designed to harness the full potential of the Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC. However, we know that there are still some fans that haven’t made the transition to the new console hardware, which is why we’re happy to share that we're working with developers Beenox and Mercenary Technology on Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

Xbox 360 and PS3 players will be able to experience Call of Duty: Black Ops 3’s gameplay across campaign, multiplayer and zombies. While the teams are working to deliver the best possible experience for Xbox 360 and PS3, naturally there will be some differences across generations. For instance, the campaign mode on Xbox 360 and PS3 is currently in development with a goal of enabling two-player cooperative play, instead of the four-player cooperative campaign on next-gen. There will also be some other features and functionality built specifically for the new generation of consoles that cannot be supported on Xbox 360 and PS3. We'll be sharing more information regarding feature differences from one console generation to another later this year as launch on November 6 approaches. Also, it should be noted that there's no version of Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 for Nintendo Wii U planned.

Lol fully expected.

They'd be silly to ignore those players, I think this will be the last one on PS360 though.

So it's not designed for the full power of the new consoles. At least if the level size and overall structure is determined by what the old consoles are capable of pulling off.

Just make the leap already. It's a big enough IP to force player's hands.

Aww that means the game will be still designed around the olde memory constraints. But expected for this franchise.

You gotta appreciate that the cross-gen announcement on an official Activision post actually explicitly states that they're not doing a Wii U version.

I mean damn.

Sad no Wii U version planned. Black Ops 2 still has a continuous population over 1,000 on the platform.

This release doesn't confirm that the games are the same. These could be entirely different experiences. Beenox made an entirely different Spider-man game at one point (vs. the other console versions), I recall.

Weren't MW, BoPs and MW3 designed for the full power of the 360/Ps3 also? Because they all had functional Wii Versions.

They mentioned Xbox first, marketing deal still with Microsoft confirmed.

I was wondering when Beenox would finally get the axe from making mediocre Spider-Man games.

Best wishes.
