Call of Duty: Black Ops III PlayStation 3 PS3

Call of Duty: Black Ops III was only announced for the PlayStation 4 earlier in the year, but Activision's never one to leave cash on the table. Writing on its official blog – we didn't even know it had one – the company has confirmed that Treyarch's first-person shooter will be boost-jumping onto the PlayStation 3 on 6th November, so now you've got an excuse not to upgrade.

Of course, it won't quite be the same game on Sony's creaky old system. For starters, the campaign co-op will be limited to just two players, and the post mentions that there'll be other new-gen exclusive features removed. Moreover, it's being converted by The Amazing Spider-Man developer Beenox and Mercenary Technology, with Treyarch seemingly not intimately involved.

While it's clear that people are starting to move on from last-gen systems now, Call of Duty is a big enough brand to warrant one last push on older hardware. Let's hope this really is one last push, though...
