Activision have introduced that they’ll cease being absolute gits brandishing birds akimbo at Call Of Duty’s PC gamers, and accept merely flicking a single V at us whereas blowing raspberries. After years of DLC being unique to 1 console or one other for thirty days (hitting PC and the opposite after that absurd delay), they now say that post-launch content material for Call Of Duty: Black Ops 4 will solely be unique to PlayStation for seven days earlier than coming to PC. Hooray? Great? Thanks?
They revealed the brand new, shorter exclusivity interval in a blog post about post-launch content yesterday. The plans embody traditional Cod Blops map Nuketown returning as soon as once more in November, a brand new character coming in December, expansions and new modes for the Blackout battle royale, and seasonal and particular occasions on high of all of it. All of which we’ll get late cos they’re businesspals with Sony.
The weblog put up defined that “all the playable content coming to the Black Ops universe following launch will land seven days early on PS4, including new specialists and maps, as well as seasonal events. After seven days, all new playable content will come to other platforms.”
Obviously that is introduced as excellent news for PlayStationeers, and to heck with the remainder of us.
Sure, seven days is lower than thirty, however ready seven days nonetheless sucks. Do do not forget that Cod Blops four costs an additional £30 to get post-launch content material in its season go – and this 12 months it won’t even have the option to buy DLC separately.
While many publishers are attempting to make post-launch content material friendlier, typically providing updates at no cost whereas promoting skins and beauty doodads, Activision are nonetheless clinging to fashions which have sucked for gamers for years.
I’ve heard respectable issues about Blackout and am half-tempted (I solely had time for one spherical in the open beta), however I’m not about to pay £50 for a game plus £30 for a season go solely to have additions deliberately delayed for exclusivity offers.
