Nihilistic On Zombies: "we would love to do it, but its not our call"


Turns out its Sony's and Activision's fault that Call of Duty: Black Ops Declassified does not have a zombie mode, more details inside..........

In response to Nihilistic getting hate for not including Zombies in Call of Duty: Black Ops Declassified they sent out this tweet:
Only Activision and Sony have the power to greenlight Zombies mode for CoD Vita. We would love to do it if they ask. But its not our call.
Why do you think Activision don't want portable zombies? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below!

Sabaki08 said...

The only way this game will get into my Vita is probably if this game will be among those +45 games they make available for free on PSN if you have PS+. 

TROLOL HI said...

If Activision and Sony "greenlight" the zombie mode,we would love to add it...

They gave you the greenlight to make a Call of Duty game!!!

Why would they want to strip away a key component of a successful video game franchise?
Makes alot of sense Nihilistic...

I bet Activision and Sony read that comment and was like "WTF?! Nihilistic! You lying bastards... drop the hammer on us... you lazy fucks!"

Call of Duty: Black Ops Declassified = Fail
Enough said.

Brendan Ngo said...

I call BS. They would've at least tried to push for it, but I don't think they even bother to contact sony and activsion about it.

KrittyKrat said...

Even if they didn't get rights to zombies they could have worked harder on the multiplayer, you can't half ass a game like that its just disgracing to the franchise and treyarch.

Levesquericardo said...

That's BS! They probably didn't feel like actually trying to make a zombie mode! They just felt like if they blame them, then they are off the hook.

Meech552 said...

And i dont understand if they knew they couldnt do it why even try to bring out a BS call of duty to make people say bad things about it. Im a true COD fan i had a 360 i traded it for the ps vita only because i saw news that it was coming to the new psp and im afraid to say these guys let me down seriously. : (

KrittyKrat said...

Hey don't you worry! Theres plenty of good games to come, if you need a good shooter go pickup Unit 13 to hold yourself off.

Majed M. Aljarman said...

what 'greenlight' ?, they could've easily just contacted sony and Activision to push for a Zombie mode, but, no.

Milton Martinez said...

hmm, if they let ios get a zombies game and they let nihilistic ruin, i mean make a cod game them tell me why the hell wouldn't they be allowed to make a zombies mode. nihilistic is full of shit, then again im sure they'd fuck that up too.

ps. excuse the language

Alfred Quintana said...

they should release this game already and start making a new cod vita game

Hitman300zx said...

I would have paid even to have the previous levels from blops. It would of been a no brainer to buy but now not even close. Im losing faith on the vita come on sony get your shit straight

Kyle said...

They supposedly did suggest it to them. I kinda do call BS on that though. If Activision wanted to sell copies and they see people definitely want Zombies in there, I'm sure they would have told them to.

OMFG! said...

COME ON! EVEN THE F*CKING IPHONE HAS BLACK OPS ZOMBIES! WTF???????????????

THEY GAVE PERMISSION TO DO IT ON AN IPHONE, WHY WOULD THEY SAY NO TO THE PS VITA???????????''
lying bastards!

Jin Jinathin Pitts said...

Made*

Jin Jinathin Pitts said...

They probably ran out of money and time. So they are just saying, "oh well, they don't want to give us extra time or money"
Obviously Sony or activision isn't gonna support them since game isn't looking good as they expected to be look like

donnydutchman said...

better get this zombie mode ready for DLC!!
the ps vita needs to become a success, bring us quality and we will pay for your products.
simple deal. we had enough excuses on the psp versions allready.
you wanna change your faith?  take some action!! change the future!

Tuned4trash666 said...

treyarch should be the only company to be able to make zombies! wouldnt be the same without em!!

lol said...

im actually in the process of passing Resistance Burning Skies, and i honestly dont get the hate. I mean, of course is no Resistance 1,2,or3, but its actually a really good game (i bought it used so i cant comment on the Multiplayer) but the single player campain is really good.

on that note: Ive never cared enough for CoD to buy the the game at full price (i got MW1&2 for $9 each, and BlackOps for free) and i probably wont get this one untill its less than $15 Zombies or no Zombies

Brendan Ngo said...

If only Sony and Activision surpervised the studio more

j__x said...

 Burning Skies was a decent game, good even if you consider it a "first attempt" at producing a dual-stick FPS. Nihilistic deserves credit for sticking their neck out there with Resistance, no doubt about it.

But like anything in life, everything you do should be a step forward. Learn from past experience and make your next move bigger and better. Nihilistic CLEARLY chose to re-skin Burning Skies, call it Call of Duty, and Activision decided to charge 10 dollars more for it. That's unforgivable.

Not having Zombies will be the deciding factor in if this game is a failure or not. having their "Hostiles" mode be SINGLE PLAYER ONLY will certainly hurt its chances. Along with Tiny multiplayer maps, 4v4, and stripping away all the other subtle elements of COD that made it a success among the casual audience will absolutely kill this game before it ever had a chance.

Nihilistic didn't learn, didn't innovate and this game will fail. Unfortunate, but sometimes the truth isn't pretty.

Daniel Thunder said...

Maybe if we all send hate mail toactivision and sony they will make a dlc with zombies

Sabaki08 said...

Now that you mentioned it... Well, the frustration I of not knowing what they were thinking feel right now is beyond any sort of godlike comprehension. 

Justin Foster said...

I don't know whether to laugh or be appalled. The fact that people are disturbed by no zombies in a game is a phenomenon I need to research, or something because this response sounds so ridiculous.

Personally, a FPS is good based on story and gameplay. Zombies sold separately is more than welcome.

Hey husnain, retro city rampage release date on vita: http://www.retrocityrampage.com/buy.php

j__x said...

 Read a little into the recent news posts about this game. Nihilistic's Twitter account has essentially admitted that this game is solely focused on the 4v4 multiplayer "experience."

The single player has been described by IGN and other gaming sites as something like "a set of short missions" that aren't connected, and offer "burst" gameplay on-the-go. This is a roundabout way of saying the single player is short and probably repetitive. It was also described by one site as being a 5 hour experience.

Nihilistic's Twitter is responding to dozens of questions about the game and the games options, and almost ALL of the answers are "no, sorry" or "probably not, sorry."

Not a good sign when every question being asked can only be answered with a No.

Maxnewsome1 said...

Agreed but this time get Treyarch to make the CoD because they wont be busy with Black Ops 2

Crlp88 said...

Its not nihilistics fault Sony made a bullshit cartridge that won't even hold what the the vita is capable of. And its vita first call of duty give the vita a year or so and the games will be amazing.

Elronza Williams Jr. said...

Lets do it! I'm tired of people saying 3 or for good games is not enough of a reason to own a Vita at the prices Sony's asking. When truth be told the Vita actually has lots of good games. When the NGP was first announced I was like yes awesome PS3 quality games on the go. But that experience has only come true with a few titles! Little Big Planet PS Vita has become the best of the series. And Uncharted Golden Abyss has been used to test the graphics of other PS Vita titles. And I love Reality Fighters for it's uniqueness. But we need more quality games now and granted they are on the way. Retro City Rampage comes out tomorrow and I am buying that game! And other  great titles are close at hand as well. Then we have Call Of Duty which to call it a let down is an understatement! It is plan tacky the way in which this game was handled and no effort put into it. Even though I could careless about COD I know how much my friends like Dan above are addicted to the series, and I'm not the type of person that likes my friends cheated in any way! And this is beyond a no sell for any true fan of COD!

Relax masses, I'm sure there will be zombies as a DLC take it as a training project. They wanna see how good CoD sells without Zombies and then reinforce it with Zombies mode. Just give it time it will happen eventually once they realize it isn't selling well. They are confident about their project being good enough without zombies, now if you are a gamer you would be hopeful and share the confidence they have on their stuff. Once it comes out watch a couple of review videos to see whether call of duty is for you or not. I don't mean to defend them at all, simply think that trashing out a product that hasn't even come out its kinda stupid, plus seriously whoever still plays CoD and expect big changes from past games its just a dreamer. Just give it time and stop whining about a product that isn't even out yet. Back before LBP came out when it was announce many people talked crap about it being lame and that it was going to suck and blah blah but look at it now. Not comparing, simply don't judge a book by its cover.

Daniel Thunder said...

Lol im sending hate mail now everyone like if you did it

dafuq said...

its kinda stupid not having what the demand is of this game "zombies" like common instead of increasing sales you guys are decreasing them each day, thats why the vita is not selling, if u guys would fix stuff like cod desclassified zombies and also make games of ps3 on the vita people would actually buy them

- said...

 They were lying, they lied about a few things so far from what I can work out.

They arent using the COD engine so zombies probably doesnt work too well on it and I picked up on that from a few points...

1. They said they had to add in all the animations, i'm no expert but arent they already part of the IW engine coding?

2. They claimed the reason for 4vs4 was to fit in with the number of players supported for party chat which is stupid, reason is they are using the same engine as resistance so same player support.

3. No killcams or S&D. Resistance didnt have killcams and neither did it have spectating, hence why S&D isnt in there.

Anyway, just my 2p's worth.

CALIFORNIA_CHOLO said...

i think they wanted to focus more on black ops 2 zombie witch will sell more units but that puts the vita on the shity end of the stick

CALIFORNIA_CHOLO said...

I THINK THEY SHOULD SCRAP IT AND LET ACTIVISION START FROM SCRATCH...... I THINK IT WOULD WORTH THE WAIT

TROLOL HI said...

Damn good information my man!

Ryuzaki010 said...

zombies or no zombies the game is still a vile pile of shit. zombies would have been a screw up like the rest of the game anyways.

Ryuzaki010 said...

thou speaketh the truth

Jonny said...

lol... no zombie mode = no buy.
