Look at this Unimpressive Call of Duty: Black Ops Declassified Footage

by Justin B. on August 14, 2012 @ 11:52 am

At the end of their Gamescom conference Sony revealed the first-ever footage of the Call of Duty: Black Ops Declassified. The PS Vita exclusive will feature 4vs4 multiplayer as well as a unique singleplayer campaign. However this first-ever footage of the game has left me seriously unimpressed. Reminds me more of a PSP game than a PS Vita game.

4vs4?

Surely the PSV can put out stuff better than this. ESPECIALLY considering how low the requirements are for COD in general on the 360/Ps3.

Oh well it still looks entertaining at least.

They might be targeting 60 frames/sec like the console CoD titles, which I guess could explain the underwhelming visuals. If it's 30 this is extremely disappointing. The textures and bloom look straight out from a PSP game.

0.o I think Sony just wanted a CoD game to say they had one... and didn't care if it looked assey :P

And yeah Jackie boy, also probably the last, if this is the quality of the triple A FPS on the palm of people's hands. Killzone actually looks way better than this.

In fact the game also doesn't only look like a direct psp port, but when I first saw it I thought they were mistaken and were showing Resistance Burning Skies footage. Graphics are not everything, but we expected more from this one...

Oh sh**!!!! Just understood now why the agme looks bad AND why it looks like Resistence Burning skies!

Well done Sony.

Good thing is, I will save money for another game, sonic all stars or need for speed.

I lol when people always go like "Graphics aren't everything, but the graphics suck!"

I am exempt because I am pro-"Graphics matter"

I really do hope this is 60FPS.

Oh jeez, another hilarious thing would be if it's non-native res and it looks like this.

PSV native res is Half 720p res. And none of the COD games can even manage 720p native on the PS3.

It just doesn't remind me of a Call of Duty game at all. It's another horrible port by another studio for the handheld market. The PS Vita has the capabilities to compete with the big boys. Uncharted was excellent on the Vita and I enjoyed every second of it. This...well this is just a joke.

Trigun says:

Really? It sure looks like the standard COD game to me.

The lighting is pretty nice.

It's just the texturing(And the low quality video/jpgcompression) that makes it look like shit.

That's all low definition to my eyes. Compared to your screenshot, these COD Vita screens looks like a psp game. The lights around the game might look nice, but the charecters don't even have shadows?

We don't expect a good game to have intense graphics, but we do expect from a franchise like COD to have at least better textures. Again, we don't expect tetris to have HD stone textures, and yet it's a good game, therefore graphics are welcome in their right places, but no they are not everything.
