Support NeoGAF

[ultrazilla]

I think the sales will be very low.

And that's what pisses me off with fellow Nintendo console owners.

Bitch, bitch, bitch that "Nintendo is getting shafted by third parties!" but then you don't buy the third party games when they *do* support the system!

And I agree with a few posts above mine. Nintendo should come out with system bundles that include COD: Ghosts to show Activision they care about the support.

 

[GenericUser]

this will sure help the wiiU to catch up.

 

[KillerTravis]

Developed/Ported by Treyarch, not IW.

Yes! This guys always do great ports.

 

[muu]

I could really care less if they don't give me DLC -- don't play CoD long enough to care about them in the first place.

the WiiU ver will be the one for me to get if I buy it, I'm getting franchise fatigue but with other life events, it'll be harder to have the TV to myself meaning the WiiU version may be the best bet if I want to play in even small bursts.

 

[Malvingt2]

Thread should be update it

 

[XPE]

I don't know THAT much about the developers but isn't Treyarch better than the shell of Infinity Ward nowadays???

We will find out when we play ghost to see how much talent they replace.

 

[kuYuri]

At least they didn't announce it in September like last time.

 

[friskykillface]

Well finally they confirm it, might be interested down the line for dat off screen gameplay after the next gen versions

 

[Snakeyes]

Is Treyarch better than IW?

 

[JetBlackPanda]

this isn't Metroid.

Is Trayarch better than IW?

Yes.

 

[Mockingbird]

Seriously though, why the hell were they so secretive about the Wii U version? Makes absolutely no sense.

This. Why make us worry?

 

[Somnid]

I thought Nintendo wanted to announce this themselves as some "please understand investors" pick me up and thats why Acti were keeping shtum. Now I have no fucking idea why.

I would not be surprised if there's some weird announcement exclusivity.

 

[AlphaStriker]

Hmm I guess Infinity Ward could really care less about Nintendo eh?

It's nice to see Treyarch still being a supporter all these years.

 

[Diablo Rosso]

Nintendo should definitely do this and heavily advertise it has *FREE ONLINE* in big shiny capital letters.

Use whatever it has to promote the platform and deepen its relations with 3rd parties.

Both the PC and PS3 versions still exist. The 360 version will still sell the most anyway.

 

[PdotMichael]

If Ninty does push that free online thing, I seriously think this version of CoD might actually sell decently

Yeah, because buying a $300 machine makes more sense from the view of a consumer instead of buying it for his PS3 or 360.

But CoD is a mediocre at best franchise right now. This is the problem with asking people to support 3rd party games.

 

[Guymelef]

Nintendo should definitely do this and heavily advertise it has *FREE ONLINE* in big shiny capital letters.

And Sony could add a "Play online for free with more than 1000 different persons" on PS3 box.

 

[Frodo]

It is a perfect opportunity to bring some

tight fisted

gamers to the platform. Nintendo should definitely bundle it with the console and go full on advertising it and the free online.

There are a considerable amount of players that DON'T want to pay for online. So it is a very good opportunity for Nintendo to take some advantage of that.

 

[chertipros]

I love you treyarch

 

[Zero148]

is this the same release date as the PS360PC versions?

 

[ultrazilla]

If it were me, and I had to choose from the 3 platforms you own, I'd get it on the 360, or more likely, the PC. There would be little reason for me to get it on the Wii U. If the Wii U was my only system, then obviously of course.

As much as the Wii U needs people to consider buying these games on that system on an equal level, its just not perceived to be there currently. And once the next gen platforms come out, there will be even less of a reason. And that's the problem Nintendo faces. There's little reason for me to get multiplatform games on the system, and I'm the 'definite version' type. I want the *best* version for my money, and I still don't want to buy it on the Wii U, vs even the 360. So the system is stuck being used just for exclusives.

No offense but you are exactly the type of person I'm talking about.

IMHO, the 360 is a dead system(I haven't bought a game for the system in over a year). My 360 is basically a glorifed Netflix player at this point.

I have a powerful gaming PC and the Wii U. The *EASY* choice for me is to buy the PC version but Activision did a hell of a job with COD: BO2 on the Wii U, Nintendo needs third party support and so the decision to go with the Wii U version is easy for me.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Someone should ask these guys how Wii U is handling that NEXT GEN engine.

Digital Foundry said that the graphics are on par with the other versions but noticeable slowdown occurs with the fishes, big drops especially when they swim away from you.

 

[Nirolak]

Disaster for Nirolak.

Did I greatly offend you at some point or something?

 

[NotLiquid]

is this the same release date as the PS360PC versions?

Yes

 

[NateDrake]

You know what? I'm buying this.

Who's with me?

I bought Black Ops 2 for Wii U and will be getting Ghosts on it.

 

[GulAtiCa]

is this the same release date as the PS360PC versions?

yes.

 

[Ridley327]

is this the same release date as the PS360PC versions?

Yes, it is.

 

[Frodo]

Yes, of course I'm aware that this game has versions for the last generation of consoles. And people will probably buy it for those consoles, but, nonetheless, it is a great opportunity to make people aware of the fact you won't need to pay to play online on the Wii U, while the opposite wont hold true for the PS4 and Xbox180.

 

[Rob Schnoddor]

Good god Activision ... was that so difficult?

I have a rad idea:

How about you announce the platforms that your game is being released on ... wait for it ... all on the same day!

I know ... sounds crazy, but hey, give it a try, why not?

 

[mugurumakensei]

Treyarch developed? Definitive version confirmed.

 

[Dead Prince]

Digital Foundry said that the graphics are on par with the other versions but noticeable slowdown occurs with the fishes, big drops especially when they swim away from you.

Which means next gen dog might be an issue.

 

[cafemomo]

Tweeted it.

I doubt they would respond though

 

[Days like these...]

Just kidding about day maybe I'm definitely getting but I'm torn between what controller to use. I love the Wiimote for first person shooters

 

[Kevtones]

Black Ops was great on Wii U. Day One.

 

[SatoAilDarko]

Hmm I guess Infinity Ward could really care less about Nintendo eh?

It's nice to see Treyarch still being a supporter all these years.

Yeah BO2 had support for classic controllers and Wii Remote customization. They also continued to patch it and included Wii U in double XP weekends. It helps that I find the Treyarch games more interesting storywise as well as having Zombie Mide. Shame that no DLC was released. I understand though it would fragment the already small community. A single DLC pack with select maps might have been a good approach.

 

[Portugeezer]

Wii U version has the best graphics, right?

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Which means next gen dog might be an issue.

Dogs are out for the Wii U version, coyotes in.

 

[RE_Player]

This was a no buy until I heard Treyarch is porting it. Since the original Black Ops they have far and away become the premier Call of Duty developer and they've always done a fantastic job with their Nintendo efforts. Infinity Ward is a mere shadow of it's former self. Day 1 on Wii U for me.

 

[Dicer]

Treyarch does bang up work, will support.

 

[Malvingt2]

I bought Black Ops 2 for Wii U and will be getting Ghosts on it.

same... No BF4 for me this year..

 

[cyberheater]

Is this going to have the same fate as Colonial Marines WiiU version?

 

[Effect]

Developed/Ported by Treyarch, not IW.

Makes sense. When it comes to Call of Duty no other teams at Activision or works with them knows Nintendo hardware. I'm not sure if that's a good thing. Treyarch has been working on Nintendo hardware since the GameCube and have done all of the Call of Duty games for those systems, even the ones they didn't develop. I thought would have stopped with the Wii U but looks like it hasn't. I guess that's a good thing in the end for players as they know the hardware. This should make the Wii U version a really good port. Hopefully this means they won't mess up the pointer controls again. They just have to focus on this game not several other versions.

 

[ultrazilla]

But CoD is a mediocre at best franchise right now. This is the problem with asking people to support 3rd party games.

Not sure if serious?

Whatever you personally think about CoD, I think the sales numbers would prove you wrong. (Lifetime sales of all games across all platforms)

And I'm confident the Wii U can handle whatever visuals the devs throw at it. IMHO, we haven't come close to seeing what the little guy can do yet(though some of the Pikmin screenshots look amazing!).

Step up Wii U owners!

 

[Mokubba]

If Ninty does push that free online thing, I seriously think this version of CoD might actually sell decently

It's free on the PS3 too.

 

[popeutlal]

Did I greatly offend you at some point or something?

I believe because you keep making threads about games not coming to Wii U haha.

 

[RiverBed]

Wii U is at an interesting place. I am curious to see how the game looks and performs compared to current and next gen. Acti is one of the 'laziest devs' (good enough is enough. Fuck optimization).
Fucking Acti....

Is he mocking his own product or is he that bad of a salesperson? That looks dumb however I look at it. Talk about being detached from your work...

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

Good luck with the map packs. BLOPS 2 never saw any map packs releases, not even freaking nuketown made it onto the wii U :/

 

[Ridley327]

Is this going to have the same fate as Colonial Marines WiiU version?

Why would it? It's dated, Treyarch has a team that's entirely dedicated to making CoD ports on Nintendo systems, and CoD hasn't gotten to the level of critical reception that A:CM achieved.

...not yet, at least.

 

[Conor 419]

Did I greatly offend you at some point or something?

?????????????

 

[Arya Stark]

Treyarch developed? Definitive version confirmed.

Except for the fact that no one will buy it and the few who do will be forced to play FFA and TDM due to zero people on real game modes, yes this is the definitive version

if you won't own a PS360PS4onePC by then
