Report - Call of Duty 2014 Development Ramps Up, Next-Gen Visual Effects on Xbox 360 and PS3?

MP1st - Sledgehammer Games is building staff as the studio ramps up development on Call of Duty 2014, recently rumored to be a new entry in the Modern Warfare series.

Next-Gen Visual Effects on Current-Gen? or the other way around . hope they use a new engine .

creatchee3715d ago

I wouldn't mind if they made a new engine and downported to 360 and PS3, but I'm tired of crossgen games holding back Xbox One and PS4's potential.

GearSkiN3715d ago

Still early that's why they still do port.

kayoss3715d ago

160 million ps3 and x360 world wide combined.Those are very large potential sale numbers. They will continue to make cross gen as long as they can.

creatchee3715d ago

I'm not saying you can't make the new games for last gen too, but design them on the new consoles and then port lesser versions to 360 and PS3.

PONTIAC08G8GT3715d ago

COD feels like the 25 year old cat you have in your house. Every year it gets older and worse, yet it refuses to die and just hangs around.

COD needs a complete overhaul. The gameplay has been the same for X amount of years. Releasing the game each year is beginning to feel like a sports game.

DeadlyFire3715d ago

There will always be some improvement, but the visuals from PS3/X360 to next gen will be growing year to year in the future I believe.

Kryptonite42O3714d ago

I doubt they will use a new engine at this point.. Its too early, but one can only hope.

In all honesty, Infinity Ward needs to step aside and let Treyarch make another COD... Im still playing Black Ops 2, since Infinity Ward pooped the bed with that disappointment that is COD Ghosts. I bought it... played it a few times, then went back to blops2. I just wish I could play it on my X1..

Hopefully it's different experience but lessons taught me never to be excited for COD

angelsx3715d ago

No no no no we heard same shit before many times.

Ashunderfire863715d ago

All I really hope for is to get that excitement I got when Call of Duty first switch over to Modern instead of World War 2. It look so real like the war in the Iraq at the time. It was truly the best in the series.

I am looking for that surprising change in the Call of Duty series that will make you go wow like the first Modern Warfare!

TheGrimReaper00113715d ago

Dude! This one will have a new ai system, so they'll have birds fly out of the way when you get close
There's also new interactive smoke and wind
With highly advanced AI to make new dogs
this IS next Gen COD!

StarshipZero3715d ago

"Next-Gen Visual Effects on Xbox 360 and PS3"

This defies logic.

pwnsause_returns3715d ago

forget next gen fish...its all about that next gen Dog AI...

dazzrazz3715d ago

When did anything coming from PR Activision had ever any logic :P

HurtfulTimez3715d ago

Yep i think they really need to go back to basics and make it a military shooter instead of a terrible cheesy holloywood blockbuster film wannabe.... COD4 was great beacause it was about shooting people. not all this throwing knives and axes and stabbing people from 10 feet away we see now...

press-start3715d ago

well expect this game to look s@it then

Number-Nine3715d ago

Fish AI now swims up and down, towards you and in circles.

Please, can Call of Duty leave awful Netflix-style menus behind

Call of Duty games used to be streamlined experiences, but COD 2024’s UI could be another nightmarish clutter of streaming tabs.

If we’re beating that drum, can we also stop forcing anyone who wants to play only the single player to download Warzone and all updates BEFORE they are then able to do another download from the menu of the single player campaign. I don’t see why I need 150gb of downloads in several ways to play the single player mode only from a bloomin disk which should have that campaign on it already.

DefenderOfDoom24d ago (Edited 4d ago )

The UI is confusing to me because I have not purchased a Call of Duty iin like 8 years .Only bought CoD MW3 because 3 of my friends I have known since to 70s are playing zombies . But I am used it now .

smolinsk4d ago

The UI is the least of the franchise many problems these days. But yes the UI is also terrible.

Players claim Fortnite ruined Call of Duty by letting in more corporate greed

Do you remember what gaming was like before Fortnite entered the gaming space? One of the biggest arguments was about loot boxes. Now we have conversations about crossovers, battle passes, and community outreach.

Idk. Loot boxes did disappear and battle passes and in game purchases are all cosmetic. We get free weapons and maps post launch, any gameplay affecting content. I could care less about all the cosmetics.
I absolutely hated the days where weapons were locked behind a less than 1% chance lootbox pull where it'd take 5+ hours to have enough tokens to do a single pull and lazy remastered/remake maps cost you $15 each wave or $50 for the season pass that you didn't know what you'd get and these maps were only available to those that bought it so you get a smaller pool of players match with.

Tacoboto15d ago

The "good ole days" are actually what drove me away from COD and Halo 3/Reach. Halo 4 becoming a COD-like drove me away from that only a week or so after it launched and I beat its campaign.

It sucked way back then, going a month or two without playing online-shooter-of-the-moment, and then needing to buy a $15 map pack to play with the majority of the population or your favorite playlist. The "community" rejecting Spartan Points in MCC killed that game's support, too. No revenue = no support, plain and simple.

Cacabunga15d ago

That headline could easily be something Spencer could have said 😅 I had to check if it was really an opinion piece

KyRo15d ago

As times gone on, the COD battle pass has got ALOT worse so they can push people to buy the more premium battle pass which itself is a huge rip off and nearly half the price of the base game.

The cosmetics can be fine but they've taken it to far to the point of no return. Why make a military themed game then have rabbits, dinosaurs, cats, rats & z list rappers as skins? You wouldn't add a Lamborghini to a fantasy RPG to replace a horse and you would never see Mario have limb dismemberment because they know what they are. COD is having identity crisis but kids and streamer but then all

franwex15d ago (Edited 15d ago )

Call of duty can simply not copy the bad aspects of Fortnite? Or is that too out of this world? Like COD, a realistic shooter-just HAD to have Nicki Minaj running around? Or super heroes?

Inverno15d ago (Edited 15d ago )

Exactly! Trends don't all need to be followed. Plus where Fortnite got somewhat better with it's monetization, Acti got worse. Or at least Fortnite has lended itself more to the wacky stuff, and has put more effort and quality into that stuff.

jjb198115d ago

I prefer the battle passes with free maps than the $50 season pass that divided the community. I definitely feel that Fortnite had some influence on CoD having loot boxes with Blackout being introduced in 2018 with Black Ops 4.

PRIMORDUS15d ago (Edited 15d ago )

Actually Fortnite bullshit ruined Unreal Tournament. Epic are sellouts and I will never have that shitty store on my PC, fuck them and that shit bag Tim Sweeney. At least the community keeps the games alive, I still play UT2004.

StoneTitan15d ago

I mean cant really blame them for supporting the game that made them the most money and the most people player...ever?

Psychonaut8515d ago

Call of Duty ruined Call of Duty. They needed no outside assistance.

Ra303014d ago

100% correct! The makers of Call of Duty ran out of ideas long, long ago so they take ideas from other games like Ghost Recon, Fortnite and any other FPS game hat had success hell CoD remasters maps that they've remastered several times already then charge you again for it. Call of Duty is simply a cut, copy and paste and then put the $70 price on it every year. Activision and now Microsoft has been essentially remastering Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare every year since it was released in 2007 its to the point it's worse than the sports game like the Madden, NBA and others yearly sports franchises.
@Psychonaut85 is spot on "Call of Duty ruined Call of Duty. They needed no outside assistance"!
