COD: Ghosts is better than next gen

The next game in the Call of Duty franchise is coming to just about every conceivable platform – including the next generation consoles from Microsoft and Sony. It’s not, however, going to be tailored to meet the specifications of those systems though – it’s going to exceed them.

According to producer Mark Rubin (via GI), the assets that they’re using are cinema quality stuff, higher even than what PC’s are capable of using.

What we’ve done with this generation change, especially for the art pipeline, that being the biggest difference, is we’re making our big art assets at cinema quality, not even PC quality, but above next-gen. It’s at this really amazing looking cinema quality asset. What we’re doing, we use that and we create assets for each platform that are the best for the platform. So now every platform, instead of having a sort of average art asset, they’re getting the best asset for that platform.

Those of you who’ll be getting Ghosts on the current consoles needn’t worry that those versions will be inferior either.

“We’re not making one platform and then porting. All the platforms are actually made at the same time. When somebody checks some work in, they have to make sure every platform works and that that check doesn’t break on one platform,” he explained.

“The new engine that we created is across all platforms. It’s not just next-gen. So the current-gen is actually getting a lot of benefit out of this new engine,” Rubin added.

Funny; while everything I’ve seen of Ghosts looks pretty good, I’d hardly say it’s beyond next gen.

    hahahahahahahahahahahaha breath hahahahahahahahahahahahaha. Go home Activision, you’re drunk.

    After all the bullcrap and showboating you are really trying to what? Capture your original crowd? You’re making a serious FPS now? No, not at all. Your life like fish (Excluding Nemo, that dude was awesome) are lame, and this magically current gen surpassing art assets do not fool me.

    People dont ride the train any more muthafuggah. Even if it is a “cinema” graded train.

    You guys have to remember that what COD considers ‘current gen’ is all ready 4 years behind what the rest of the world sees as ‘state of the art’ current gen. So for them this might be ‘above next gen’, or just below BF3 (2011) on PC (high) for the rest of the universe.

      That wish may be able to push your cpu to it’s limits…lol OMW now they copying battlefield with destruction but. I still think bf4 will be far better than this. They are defining multiplayer much more than cod. The other day I played black ops 2 again and my word what a Shitty game. Went straight back to BF3 cause the gameplay is so much better

    I wish he’d tell us more, like what they used to make these PC-breaking visuals. My guess… a Mac!

    Its true, most games have these assets which is then baked down to create normal maps which then represents the high poly assets.

    It’s hilarious the way guys knock COD development like they had 1st hand viewing of the development process…Nevermind the fact half of them aren’t nearly as qualified to speak of the technicalities involved…

    Remember COD of this gen had ultra smooth gameplay with awesome visuals. That means great coding together with optimal and innovative use of resources…

    Haters will hate tho…but somehow will rave about shooting bb guns in Bioshock!! Pffft!

      No we have first hand experience on Activision bullshit and first hand experience on how they reuse levels from previous games and use the Quake 3 engine still. COD hasn’t been cutting edge for the last 10 years …. maybe to teenagers yeh …..

      Your very naive …

        I can see you trying to be popular amongst the haters but you don’t see how the sausage is made, do you? You just enjoy tha flavour…

        Every single engine out there today is a progression from previous work.Don’t fool yourself otherwise mate…

        And what’s this about shiny gold skins?

      I agree yes COD games are really good games. ppl who play them online not so good. but Why say next gen when they bullshitting people, they should of made a new engine and make something truely epic… cant be next gen if your using old tech engines. But at the end of the day the game prob will be really great. just sick of there stories how they so elite over at activision

        I reckon any dev that says they’ve build an engine from ground up for next gen is lying through their teeth…And my references are toward the Infinity Ward team, not Activision…the Modern Warfare series has intensity unmatched by it’s rivals imo…

        And agreed, COD devs are not without their flaws but people wear their COD hater goggles and don’t appreciate each game for what it is…
