I can tell its a game instantly.

 

[Juke Joint Jezebel]

I hope this gets remembered as one of the most stupid gaming PR quotes. Along with all of those "Krazy Ken" quotes.

 

[Mix Master]

Good luck with that Condrey

 

[pip77]

 

[LNBL]

I think the visuals looked good in the reveal during E3, let's see how it will look at release.

 

[Jarmel]

That title is pure clickbait.

 

[MormaPope]

People will be hyped because almost half of the Cod fanbase doesn't even play multiplayer.

I really doubt that

Plus, whose more important, the crowd that buys the game once, or the crowd that buys season passes, map packs, all that other stuff?

 

[Deadbeat]

I really doubt that.

I thought with a previous cod game they determined it to be around 40%.

 

[MormaPope]

I thought with a previous cod game they determined it to be around 40%.

How would they gauge that? Almost all CoDs don't have multiplayer achievements, using single player leaderboards as a source would be a weak source.

 

[freakzilla3000]

I think it's going to look outstanding but we will no doubt be able to tell its a game.

 

[Head.spawn]

Holy shit, somebody used hyperbole as a means to convey the essence of a feeling! I bet that mythical person he proposed might be viewing this game and thinking it's "from tv" doesn't even exist. He's a liar.

 

[Ascenion]

Where is the turian counselor when you need him? These ridiculous claims must be dismissed. Like seriously Sledgehammer, don't go full Molyneux before we even get to know you.

 

[Uthred]

Haha, I didn't think about that, but it if pretty funny.

"You won't be able to tell the difference between this game and murdering people in real life!"

Or what theyre acutally saying "You wont be able to tell the difference between this game and watching people get murdered on tv!", likely still bullshit, but an order of magnitude less

 

[Ding II]

I've only watched the trailer once, but I was confused during this part. Is that the ground above them? So the soldier's are upside-down within this droppad? So they make a hard landing directly onto the glass? So then they're upside-down as they struggle to get out?

It's an overhead screen. Worst. Ergonomics. Ever. More to the point, this is just Activision attempting to rip off a little bit (more) of Titanfall's design language. Screens-with-obvious-seams-in-them are apparently going to be mandatory in all future combat games this generation.

 

[valkillmore]

I am ON BOARD with this game.

I've always wanted to get into a CoD, and I was going to go in with Ghosts but ended up getting Battlefield 4 instead.

Won't be buying another Battlefield game ever, so CoD it is.

I think the graphics look great. But I'm not stupid, I can tell it's a game.

Also, considering I had no idea what kind of visual fidelity we'd get from current gen since I was never a PC gamer and played consoles exclusively, I'm far more prone to being 'blown away' by current gen graphics. Having said that I'm really looking forward to seeing how it looks upon release. Can't wait, really.

 

[SRTtoZ]

Kevin Spacey's lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a dolls eyes.

 

[AmyS]

On the overall subject, I'll show you guys what Sledgehammer's comment about Advanced Warfare reminded me of:

7/10/98

Sony's Kutaragi said that a Sony Computer Entertainment engineering team based in Tokyo is working on a whole new generation of real-time image-rendering technologies, from silicon to platform algorithms to software titles, for the next Playstation. "Today's videogame computer graphics look like computer graphics," he said. "Our goal is a filmlike graphics quality that won't make viewers conscious of or annoyed [by the fact] that they are indeed looking at computer graphics."

[Portugeezer]

they also said ghosts was on a next gen engine as well.

the fact is it is the same engine and they can talk and talk how much of the code they have changed and built etc. Regardless, it is the same engine. Until they go and build a new engine with a new name I will not believe them.

We can see the differences so who cares? Clearly the new/updated engine is taking advantage of the new consoles better.

 

[Eknots]

fucking legendary

 

[VaizardNL]

Those dead eyes tho...

Probably because he is about to die.

But like someone else said it is more about the facial capture and those animations and I must admit most of what I've seen are pretty damn great. A great improvement over earlier instalments.

 

[Pakoe]

 

[Peltz]

 

[Dead Man]

Good facial textures are no good without the rest of the environment being perfect. I have no doubt there will be still publicity images that look amazing, but the game will still look like a game.

 

[sixteen-bit]

It'll be a while before games are indistinguishable from reality

 

[BigTnaples]

The graphics were pretty impressive, and at certain times, in the drop pod, or in the opening scene wallking out of the pod, it had that "CGI Movie Scene" look to it, with the lighting. Which was good looking.

But overall, no the game won't look photo real. It will have a realistic look however, just like MW1-2.

 

[NZNova]

Indistinguishable from reality? Yeah, okay. Whatever you say, chief.

 

[OriginalNameGuy]

Jesus

It's the best looking Call of Duty ever, but I'm not having any trouble telling it's a game.

 

[TyrantII]

Dips to 30 on the same old ID Tech 3 engine confirmed. Oy.

 

[IronicSonic]

photorealistic graphics at 30fps

 

[InsaneTiger]

But is it "filmic"? Is Michael Bay directing?

 

[BigTnaples]

Dips to 30 on the same old ID Tech 3 engine confirmed. Oy.

Looks like a new engine to me...

 

[TheCloser]

I really doubt that

Plus, whose more important, the crowd that buys the game once, or the crowd that buys season passes, map packs, all that other stuff?

Umm, I'm pretty sure Activision said like 40% don't play online.

 

[Timu]

Dips to 30 on the same old ID Tech 3 engine confirmed. Oy.

It's the best looking ID Tech 3 engine game ever then!

 

[TyrantII]

It's the best looking ID Tech 3 engine game ever then!

Agree there!

But the same of problems and issues are going to pop up, since it's old tech patched and dialed to 11.

 

[BigTnaples]

Nah. It's a new engine..
