Oops: PS3 Black Ops Update Adds Xbox Live Message

[HentMas]

well... it IS true...

but damn people, if PS3 DID had party chat in Search and Destroy, could it be considered as an attempt to smudge the XBOX

i dont own BLOPS but i guess it would be funny if they added a message in XBOX that said "PS3 does not Support partyes over 15" or something like that haha

 

[TerribleAssassin]

It's correct, though. You can't chat on Xbox Live if you're on the PS3

Unless you talk in a connected Xbox remote while playing PS3...

And, pretty funny, if this was a joke, kudos, if it wasn't, kudos, kudos.

I get xbox exclusives too, it's just that I find a lot of cross platform games perform better on the 360. The PS3 has enough decent exclusives to be worth buying it.

True, I want a PS3 solely for LBP2...

 

[The Hive Mind]

I don't see what all the fuss is about: its just a statement of fact. They CAN'T use XBL party chat. Its just the truth.

I feel sorry for the ps3 with all this shit happening to it because of hackers,Mass effect 2 data corruption and now this.

I feel bad for the customer service reps at either company right about now. You know they are getting flooded by nerdrage.

Although thank you Escapist for making that time between waking up and my coffee to brew a pleasant one. That made me laugh.

Copy/pasting code is always a dangerous thing.

Humourous and harmless as this is, it's just not a good thing to happen to the PS3 at the moment.

Given that Treyarch are being accused of making an inferior PS3 (and PC) version of Blops, this evidence that the PS3 version really is the "second" version probably won't be taken lightly by people who already feel slighted.

 

[Atmos Duality]

And people still don't believe me when I say that most games are just shitty port jobs for other systems.

There's your proof; it doesn't get any more mainstream than Call of Duty 4.3.

You forgot to mention the worst version of the Fallout games.
The crappiest version of most games really.
Sometimes we even get sequels without the predecessors: Mass Effect & Saints Row
It also loses more features than it gains.
If the competition wasn?t spontaneously combusting when I bought the thing I would be regretting my purchase about now. But across the board, this gen just got really poor options.
I'm just going to stick with the PC when the next gen rolls around.

 

[BitterRebel]

Oh well I didn't want to talk to anyone on Xbox Live anyhow. )

 

[angry_flashlight]

That's funny. And sad. And funny. ... And sad.

 

[Cid Silverwing]

... Wow... Just... Wow...

How does shit like this slip by unnoticed?

Though, looking at it in a positive light, the message is technically true: When played on PS3, the Search & Destroy game type will not support Xbox Live party chat. In fact, none of them will!

See, that's exactly how I was looking at it.

I'm getting sick of hearing about bugs though. Even though it is harmless, this is still something that should have been caught in testing before releasing the patch. Mass Effect 2 on PS3 eats your game saves. LittleBigPlanet 2 has bugs and nasties that were in the game and pointed out in the beta and apparently not fixed. What the fuck, game companies?! Get your shit together already; I do NOT want to live in a world where Pachter's inane ranting about how we should expect game breaking bugs becomes a truth.

 

[Rad Party God]

How silly and unfortunate. I'm glad I don't have COD Bloops.

 

[Glademaster_v1legacy]

Not as bad as the message of the day that randomly pops up on the PC(don't know if it does on other versions) which says free copy of Black ops Multiplayer shipped with every copy of Black ops. I saw it yesterday and laughed.

I hardly think hackers have anything to do with either of these two.

I think he means how hacked the PS3 version of MW2 has become. Most of the servers are hacked servers now.

"Though, looking at it in a positive light, the message is technically true: When played on PS3, the Search & Destroy game type will not support Xbox Live party chat. In fact, none of them will!"

May as well include a "Not compatible with GBA link cable" just to be safe.

Don't forget to include the "Not Compatible With Game Boy Printer".

OT: This speaks volumes as to how 360 oriented the Call of Duty series has become.

But, funny as hell.

 

[Maetrix]

This still begs the question "Does this unlock an achievement?"

 

[killaconcarnage]

well it true
