Now that sony and activision have partnered, i have a feeling there not going to give older cods backwards compatibility. Who knows? We have to wait to find out, i hope im wrong.
its a shame too.Activision is extremely stingy and will most likely not approve backwards compatibility without profit being made.
Yes, it is the developer's say. Microsoft has to have their permission to use the games for backwards compatibility, and that is why the current list of games is so minuscule.Is it even Activisions/the developers say? From what I understand, the backwards compatibility is just a 360 emulation, so there's not much work to be done with it. If anything, it helps them by giving their games more life again.
Now I'm curious to know if Microsoft need permission. I never thought about that. If they do, let's hope they give permission.
Well damn, I never knew that. Let's hope it won't cause too many problems for the games.Yes, it is the developer's say. Microsoft has to have their permission to use the games for backwards compatibility, and that is why the current list of games is so minuscule.
True, but now that they teamed up with sony it may not happenIf they don't have plans to release remastered versions of the previous CoDs, they'd be stupid not to allow backwards compatibility.
This exactly. They would lose money. Tons of people who play black ops II on the backwards compatibility would buy BO III.Even though they've teamed up with Sony it would be a terrible marking move to not stay focused on the Xbox.
Activision is a PUBLISHER. Xbox won't be asking them specifically. Xbox will more likely be asking Treyarch, Infinity Ward and Sledgehammer rather than Activision. Xbox is talking to the developers of the games, not the publishers.
No, Activision has the rights to the game. They need to get permission from them.
This may be true about emulation, BUT if M$ is going to charge people to have memberships and the CoD franchise is going to be involved in the sense of backwards compatibility, I'm sure Activision has the right to allow or not allow unless they signed something giving M$ the right to make that callis just a 360 emulation, so there's not much work to be done with it. If anything, it helps them by giving their games more life again.
