Black Ops 3 DLC availability 'may vary' on Xbox 360 & PS3

Call of Duty: Black Ops 3's Season Pass will only be available on PS4, Xbox One and PC, Activision has confirmed, but it remains unclear whether individual map packs will continue to be offered on Xbox 360 and PS3.

Confirmation follows a listing on the Xbox Store last week that revealed that Black Ops 3's Season Pass and The Giant Zombies map would not be available on Xbox 360, prompting speculation that Activision is to skip DLC on last-gen platforms.

But in a statement provided to VideoGamer.com this morning, Activision said:

"Season Pass will be available only on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC platforms. Availability of individual DLC packs for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 platforms may vary. More information will be announced at a later date."

Wow, again what was the point of even making the last gen version if you are going to cutout have the content and more than likely not provide the content you already put behind a paywalll despite it being on the disc? Just goes to show out out of touch and evil Activision is...."Here's a quarter of a game and no additional content...pay us nearly full price"

nucky643515d ago

I get your point; but, x1 and ps4 have been out for a couple of years....I think it's time to move on from the old consoles.

Summons753515d ago

That's my point exactly. There is no point in releasing last gen version if you aren't even going to put an effort into making it worth people's money or even pretend to care.

What the point of making last gen versions? Money

No matter how much we dislike Activision, they know how to run a successful business.

Summons753515d ago

How is it successful to ask people for nearly for price for a 25th of a game and no post game support? Please enlighten me because all I see it them going "We still care" with a smile while wiping the dirt off their shoes on the faces of those who haven't been able to upgrade yet. I'm glad spitting in the face of your customers is a good business practice. It would have been more beneficial to leave out last gen and use Blops 3 as an incentive to upgrade that way they spend less money (even if it's only a little less) and maybe boost sales for XBone and PS4.

MegaRay3515d ago

You might be right, but no PS360 customer is upset about that or boycotting it. They'll keep buying CoD every year.
You can complain all you want, but the casual gamer (their target audience) wouldnt know how much content he hasnt get.

TheUndertaker853515d ago

I know and still don't care.

Oh my gosh! People actually enjoy CoD and zombies! Who'd have thought...

spirited3515d ago

Waiting for the game on ps2 ...

Blank3515d ago

"More information will be announced in a later date" I see this "yeah we know what DLC will release for said console versions, but pay first we cant let this detail hurt our profits"

TheUndertaker853515d ago

Yet they aren't selling the season pass on PS3/360 so nobody is paying for DLC beforehand on the two systems

OpenGL3515d ago

I agree with the others here, it does seem sort of silly to release a last-generation version now. Even in 2014 current gen multiplatforms wildly outsold their last-gen counterparts, and the install bases of the PS4 and Xbox One were much smaller then.

TheUndertaker853515d ago

Your argument is ridiculous.

You're using currently sold numbers to justify the need to go next gen only then go into install base. However the install base of PS3/360 is somewhere in the ballpark of 100 million. Between PS4 and Xbox One they boast 40 million at a top, assuming PS4 is at 25 million and XOne is at 15 million.

No matter what the install base of PS4/Xbox One is still half that of PS3/360.

OpenGL3515d ago

But the PS3/360 install base is not very active anymore and buys considerably less software than the PS4/One install base. I own a PS3 and 360 but I would never buy a game on either when I can also get it on the PS4.

Making the game work on both generations of hardware compromises game.

Hugos3515d ago

Eh, im statring to beeing tired that politics. If is somtehing about CoD:BO3 and old consoles it must be a sad information. Activison/Treyarch could just say directly: no DLC or any other bonuses in future on PS3/X360. No, they release a unclear information and hope that people will buy this version beliving, that in future they will have a DLCs or something like that. Its not fair. fair enough was CI Games nad thier Sniper Ghost Warrior 3. they sad right on the start: no for old consoles. And everybody is happy.

Actually for me , Black Ops 3 has one of the best Call of Duty campaigns I ever played. Not the original campaign. The Zombies campaign that unlocked after beating the original campaign. So much more fun running from zombies rather than the peek a boo hide behind a rock play style. .
