Black Ops 2 on PS3 still has freezing issues, second patch 'should' drop today

By Alexa Ray Corriea on Nov 20, 2012 11.20.12

The PlayStation 3 version of Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 is still prone to some freezing issues after Saturday's patch, and a second patch reportedly planned for release today, according to a thread on Activision's support forums. Last week players began experiencing screen freezing that required a system reset, with instances of the console shutting off completely while in-game. Most of these issues were experienced during online multiplayer matches. Activision released a patch on Nov. 17 to address the freezing problems, but it didn't correct the issue for all players. "We are aware that some customers are still experiencing PS3 lock-ups after installing the patch and we are doing everything we can to get to the bottom of it as quickly as possible," reads a message from Activision on...

By Dave Tach on Nov 07, 2012 11.07.12

Certain Affinity, a developer that has helped create content for games like Call of Duty: Black Ops, Left 4 Dead, Halo: Reach and Halo 4, is ready to make its own AAA game as soon as the time is right, president and creative director Max Hoberman told Gamesindustry.biz.

PlayStation VP of marketing says Sony focusing on PlayStation Plus and PS3, Vita content

By Samit Sarkar on Oct 29, 2012 10.29.12

Sony plans to focus on PlayStation Plus as well as the PlayStation 3's and PlayStation Vita's content libraries in holiday-season marketing, said John Koller, the company's vice president of marketing for consoles and handhelds, in an interview with GamesIndustry International. The PlayStation 3 may lack heavy-hitting exclusives on the level of Halo 4 this year. But Koller touted the big picture, focusing on the console's existing library of top-tier games and the ones due out in 2013. "You're buying into a system that has not only a great holiday ahead of it," he said, "but also a great future ahead of it over the next few years" — a future including games such as Naughty Dog's The Last of Us and Quantic Dream's Beyond: Two Souls. "This isn't going to be a system that people come...

Call of Duty: Black Ops Declassified is tailor-made for the Vita, says Nihilistic

By Megan Farokhmanesh on Oct 14, 2012 10.14.12

Call of Duty: Black Ops Declassified is not meant to act as a port of previous Call of Duty games, but is an experience specifically targeted for the PlayStation Vita, Nihilistic Software CEO Robert Huebner told One of Swords. According to Huebner, Declassified isn't trying to center on a big campaign storyline or major cinematics. "It's more focused on the multiplayer essence of Call of Duty and bringing that to a portable device as completely as possible," Huebner said, "and in bringing short, objective-based missions and score-driven gameplay with lighter story elements to create what we call the Operations missions." "The goal was not to make a product that is a port of any past or present Call of Duty game, but to make a tailored experience for the Vita that adds new content and...
