Infinity Ward ops to show PS4 footage for COD IGN vids- a series first since MS deal?
- Thread starter chubigans
- Start date
But MS is CoDs home right......right
There comes a point where you have to get a second job, leave home and get your own place

Since the tides have probably changed this coming generation, what would Xbox even be known for? It seems that the PS4 is becoming everything at once, not just a COD/Gears/Halo machine like with the 360.

Is it true that it's because MS has to approve the footage and Sony doesn't? That can't be it..

It's confirmed 1080/60 on both isn't it?

Then from what I've been hearing and reading, the One's controller isn't as good as the 360s, even though it has more tech in it.

Thread's going downhill fast if we get more of these.
Stick placement is my biggest thing, I'm so used to asymmetrical placement that my right thumb actually starts to hurt when playing PS3 shooters for a while. I know, weird.
Maybe with the PS4 being my main console I'll get used to it :S

love, hate, confusion.... but most of all blindness in not seeing Xbox One's gameplay
but I'm guessing both version will look identical... the problem here is it is probably easier to port on PS4 then the Xbox One

It's a complete redesign. Have u seen the side by side pics?
It's 1080p/60fps on XB1 and PS4, according to IW.

Keep in mind the game still has not been shown or played on an actual xbone, it's always been PC running at xbone spec. My guess is that's still the case and giving IGN a full PC devkit was not an option, so they likely opted for a retail or sdk PS4. That's actually quite alarming given launch is 30 days away...

Yeah they've said that since E3 I think. Unless they run into problems then they'll have to downgrade

Definitely a interesting turn.
I dont see why they would show the PS4 version and go against 6 odd years of money hatted tradition other then the xbox version is maybe not ready yet. A little concerning a month from launch.

You don't want this.
Don't make Sony arrogant, you wouldn't like them when they are arrogant.
The problem was the ergonomics of the DS3--it didn't faciliate the symmetrical layout well...certainly not as well as the 360 controller did. When you grabbed the 360 controller your left thumb just naturally grafted towards the top. The DS4 looks to have fixed all of that so don't worry about the symmetrical layout.
Holy shit if true.

I think he meant "lead platform" as in being the lead platform during development which I don't think has anything to do with contracts or agreements
But what's to say whatever deal MS and Acti have in place even mentions which version is publicly shown? Maybe the 360 version was just always shown because it was always the best (and it was).
That post seems hyperbolic. There's no way that can be true.

I'm actually wondering the exact same thing. I wasn't going to repeat this, just because, but my friends and I talked to Major Nelson this weekend at an Xbox event, and my friend asked him why they weren't showing Ghosts when they had BF4 there?
He replied with "because it isn't ready to show yet".
Hmmm.
I don't understand what the conspiracy would be. Publishers show their games under conditions that are most optimal and give them the best chance to impress. Call of Duty is now being demoed on consoles for the first time. They chose to demo the game on PS4.
Both Versions will currently be Gold, if it's not up to scratch yet, tough it's going to press.

None, it's all been on PC using a controller, including the Gamestop and EB expos from the previous two weeks.
I think it's more of Infinity Ward telling MS, "look, we're showing the PS4 version right now because it's in your best interest not to showcase the XB1 footage at the moment."
But who knows.

You cannot assume the lead platform based on that. More likely it would be based on ease of development as you finish the easy one first and then can spend extra time optimizing the harder one. That would sit with all that we've heard

Wii U footage of BO2 was shown last September. Inb4lolwiiu
The person posting that said that they heard it from someone, but that poster is a reputable developer who has been on GAF for awhile.

Maybe Activision just wants PS4 fans to not forget COD? They have some stiff competition at launch with KZ:SF which has been selling very well. Of course BF4 Also
It's strange, no matter what the difference is, it's not going to be visible on a 720p, heavily compressed, 30fps video stream. Unless it's obscenely huge, and it won't be.

Is this the assumption board? How many people have seen the contracts activision have with MS? or SONY?
Cant show this, paid this much, lead platform... any actual facts other then gossip and hearsay?
It is a trailer, it is just a trailor... ACTIVISION has basically done nothing but promote the MS system COD this year, have we forgot about that? the most important DLC is still timed exclusive. Making hills our of pieces of dirt.

I threw the phrase out to a dev friend and he said "we had info similar with our stuff".
It seems to me that the ease of the HW combined with maturity in tools plays some part but I don't program for these things as much as ask the questions to see if they get answered.
I recall this discussion being had before with a similar statement about the time it took for PS4 and Xbone versions of games respectively. Not sure if this was just one game or more though.

They showed Black Ops II at Nintendo's September event last year, if that counts.
