Eric Hirshberg Believes Call Of Duty: Ghosts On Xbox One 'Is Stunning Leap Forward'

Forbes - A big part of the Microsoft Xbox One Reveal in Redmond, Washington today was the unveiling of Infinity Ward’s Call of Duty: Ghosts to the world. I was able to see the game last week at a pre-E3 event with Activision Publishing CEO Eric Hirshberg, who took the stage today at Microsoft’s headquarters to unveil the new game. Activision has big plans for its biggest franchise, and the game demo promises a next generation of shooting action with even more Hollywood influences (thanks, in part, to the involvement of acclaimed director Stephen Gaghan on the new game).

Hirshberg said people have been asking for years now how long can Call of Duty last and whether or not this franchise is ever going to crest. The only “problem” is (and it’s not a problem for Activision, but perhaps for other publishers) that the franchise continues to grow.

It's nice to see a game developer not shooting a dog for a change.

[sengoku]

he must have seen some other footage,
what i saw was a little bland for true nextgen bs they where shoveling.

[zebramocha]

The cod was 4,this was crap all the hype and looks no different not even art style wise.

[DDDGirlGamer85]

We need to see gameplay!

[Muerte2494]

Shadow Fall is 1080p @ 30FPS

[creHEARTive]

ghosts does look good.

Anybody who disagrees with you obvisouly only plays COD and no other.The game looked almost the exact as the others.The only difference where the character models where more cleaned up and thats it.Its time for you guys to open your eyes and try to relize after all these years that its always going to be same.If I want to play a game with a dog I will just but dead to rights retribution.COD Ghost so original more like garbage like the other ones.

i agree it didn't look that good and from what we saw from the trailer on there zoomed in faces it didn't look that good at all. I can see they added things like dynamic maps Battlefield, Halo 2,leaning out (taken from medal of honer) and sliding which ive seen in crysis. New to the series but not really innovative or new to gaming in general. I wonder how it will impact the gameplay though. Will camping reach new heights now that you can lean out of corners?

IMO Battlefield 4 looked way better.

fuc hershberg that shyt garbage.

[2pacalypsenow]

then they haven't seen BF3 ,killzone on consoles

[Dannycr]

What I saw (in game cinematics) looked like something the PS3 and 360 could actually play.

Battlefield 4, Destiny and Killzone are MILLIONS OF MILES ahead of COD in terms of actual gameplay visuals.

[quenomamen]

I would expect ad much from from some suit. Whats the last video game he actually played, Pong ?

[Transporter47]

Is it me or did the graphics look like they can be done on the xbox360 and ps3 this gen and wiiU, did they just figure out that doing a new engine makes your game look better O.o?

[Shadonic]

i agree it did look like it was last gen graphics save for the head demo.

Maybe it's a 'Stunning Leap Forward' when compared to the other Call of Duty games, but when compared to current visuals Ghosts isn't even a hop forward.

[venom06]

NOT EVEN A HOP FORWARD.... c'mon CoD fanboy.. please dont be total obvious idiots... that trailer didn't show ANYTHING different from any other CoD game.

[mjamesw]

Maybe you miss understood what I was trying to say. I agree with you that it doesn't look any different from the previous games. After MW1 CoD has been a joke, both gameplay and visually, to me. I was making fun of his "Stunning Leap forward" comment because Ghost doesn't look any different then the other CoD games. It's "not even a hop forward" because it didn't look any different or better in any way.

[sync90]

That's what he said. You should read comments more carefully before you reply to them.

[hazelamy]

well, he would wouldn't he, he works for the company making it.

[ohcatrina]

Can I pet the dog? I wanna' pet the dog.

[sync90]

Woof Woof ;)
