Sledgehammer details PS4 and Xbox One tech benefits for 'Advanced Warfare'

Examiner got some time with Sledgehammer Games Senior Development Director to discuss what the new power behind the PS4 and Xbox One allows for the Call of Duty franchise, and what Sledgehammer is planning with all that horsepower.

Dude, I love Call Of Duty bro...

[Hanuman]

Sweet dude, me too man. Cowabunga!

[Automatic79]

This new COD looks amazing

[windblowsagain]

Blend shapes is a game changer/s

[ARESWARLORD]

Dude snipers and campers rock bro

[mr233]

LOL

[NarooN]

I love hilariously low HP counts and over-generous aim-assist, bro!

I hope that Sledgehammer games won't downgrade PC and PS4 version of COD advancewarfare due to MS-Acti partnership, just like what happened back in 2010 on Black ops 1 PC and PS3 version that was horrible to play due to poor optimizations..

[Imperialshroom]

all i want is all the ports to be equal in terms of quality. and that cod becomes good again.

[FullmetalRoyale]

I agree. I seem to be on board with this one, considering I have sat the last couple out. If using the exos correctly, one could see the similarities between this and another arena type game. A game that is older, and one that I have very fond memories of, but am not stupid enough to compare it by name to CoD.

I'm looking forward to the story because of the guys behind the original Dead Space. I'd be just as hopeful with or without Spacey involved, though he's one of "my guys".

I do really want some of this type of gameplay, along with Minecraft, RPGs(starting with Inquisition!), just more games in general on my current gen system. As soon as Destiny releases there is pretty much a nonstop rush of releases through March.

Prepare thyself!

LMAO Call of Duty always has and always will play better on xbox

[DeadlyOreo]

Why do people say this? I've had a 360 and a PS3 and bought various copies on both platforms and I've never noticed a difference, apart from slight lobby problems on the PS3 version of Black Ops 1. Unless you're talking about controller, but that just comes under preference.

[tlougotg]

You need to release that big microsoft $#%$ from your grip lol you sound like a big groupie.

[OC_MurphysLaw]

@Agent_hitman I hope they downgrade the versions across the board on all sku's. /s

[vallencer]

I'm pretty sure sledgehammer won't do that. So far no 3rd party games have done that this gen.

[Imperialshroom]

hope they bring back mercenary modes.

[cyclindk]

Lets see if they fall in line with all the other bull devs and claim "nearly the same" performance on both consoles

[ovnipc]

Nice I already pre order 2 copies, Xbox one. I hope they add stick and stones, so much fun.

"You’re able to have a lot more processing power, so if you can push things on screen, like more special effects and higher-res textures."

Excuse me while I go and reminisce about the days when extra processing power meant new types of games, not just shinier graphics....

[MonkeyOne]

As far as I can tell all the "new types of games" that have come out over the last 5 or so years like Minecraft, League of Legends, DayZ, The Walking Dead, Angry Birds have not been a result of more powerful gaming hardware.

In fact I can't think of a time when more powerful hardware meant new types of games.

[Locknuts]

Mario 64, Metal Gear Solid, Star Fox, Wolfenstein 3D just to name a few.
