Third party games, when they’re actually coming, haven’t had a good run as of late on the Wii U and things aren’t going to get any better with Call of Duty: Ghosts.

An intrepid reader sent us an image this morning of lads magazine Zoo Weekly, on the back of it an advert for Call of Duty Ghosts. Nothing special there, it even says the game is coming to the Wii U – something that some adverts completely miss out on.

The advert shows off the bonus preorder map Free Fall, you get the map if you preorder the game – it’s the small text under that got our readers attention though. “FreeFall bonus map not available on Wii U”

Activision have previously confirmed the map for Wii U, so we emailed them to find out more and our fears were confirmed. The Free Fall bonus map isn’t coming to the Wii U at launch, if at all.



Our local Acitivision rep had the following to say “It’s just not confirmed for the day one release, but there is definitely a chance that it will become available at a later stage”.

We weren’t able to confirm if this was just for Australia or it will affect the rest of the world. Hopefully if it’s just the former if we’re not getting the DLC at all.

It’s also been confirmed that the Wii U version of Ghosts will not receive Clan support in game further adding salt to the wound.

 

 

 

Oh lol.

You know how Activision said they'd be supporting the Wii U as much as they can? Yeah, that's either

 

A. A big fat lie

 

or 

 

B. They just can't release the DLC

 

So Activision, if you're wondering why this version sold poorly, you can only blame yourselves.

Well, not really a big fat lie... we did get Spongebob, Angry Birds, Just Dance, Skylanders which are all very recent new releases published by Activision.

Honestly, most of Activision's support isn't really much to get excited over. There's two Angry Birds games that are horribly overpriced, Spongebob and Wipeout which are standard licensed game fare (mediocre to bad). CoD and (somewhat) Skylanders will be the only games that the hardcore gaming audience will be interested in. I know it's technically support, but it's not support for the hardcore gamers.

I don't know if I'm getting this now. Can't they even horsing try!?

[Goodtwin]

wow.

I am hearing this game has gotten similar teatment that Criterion gave to Need For Speed MW.  So dont expect to be floored, but a down and dirty comparison is likely to show off higher res texture on Wii U. 

[Cozmo]

Turns out that the Xbox 1 version aversion s 720 up scaled to 1080 60 fps. Will wii u version be same?

Looks like a direct 360 port, nothing looks improved, They could have done a better job tbh, more ram and newer spec not used just to keep costs down  Joe Bloggs takes one look at WiiU Ghosts and think that's it, the user base will struggle to grow without main stream games showing what it could do.

 

WiiU user base is just over 4k right now.

Xbone user base...

PS4 user base...

 

This dog does not look like the next gen adverts.

 

This is the other end of the scale. Middle ground would of been nice.

I saw a quote (maybe on that thread?) from a guy from the studio making the port and he assured it wasn`t copy paste. There was some work on the port to make it the best it could be on Wii U.

Let`s see what he was talking about.

 

Problem is BO2 didn`t sell a lot on Wii U, but Ghosts will easily sell a lot on PS4 and XB1. That`s why to them there`s a good financial reason to work harder.

Yeah i did see that, would be nice to see it running, but if that's the best they can do then maybe a visit to Nintendo dev school. Or the best they could do with a crappy budget!

 

Sadly for me it's looking like another pc purchase.

I'm sick and tired of stupid ass companies shafting us over like a bunch of idiots. This is why I'm getting a PS4 for third party games. This is supreme unicorn tongue
