COD: WWII Devs: We Hope It Can Be Gaming's Saving Private Ryan; We're Squeezing Every Ounce of Power

The folks at Sledgehammer Games hope that Call of Duty: WWII can be gaming's Saving Private Ryan. They said they're squeezing every ounce of power.

[KaiPow]

Just thinking about the Xbox One X's particle effects for opening lootboxes is making me drool.

[Alexious]

I hope they're at least going to have HDR support. Otherwise BF2 will wipe the floor with WWII

[2pacalypsenow]

BF2 came out in 2005

[freshslicepizza]

If they are squeezing every ounce of power then every console would be pushed to its limits and the PC, plus we would see dedicated servers.

[fatbastard11]

EA promised HDR in Battlefield 1 as well so I wouldn't hold my breath for HDR in Battlefront 2

[Bruh]

@fatbastard

BF1 does have an HDR pipeline, in fact all titles on the current Frostbite engine build support it. Its more of why DICE has refused to enable it to display to TV's my guess is something to do with FPS on consoles and a lack of optimizations on that end

[Bigpappy]

Yep. All he talks about is more power. Let Activision worry about sales. Use that power where it is available.

[nX]

wow that must be gayest thing I've ever read, Xbox fanboys know no bounds

[Bathyj]

It might have been tongue in cheek.

Felching is the gayest thing I've ever heard.

[nX]

^Damn man that google search'll take some time to get erased from my memory.

[Bathyj]

Why would you Google that?

[81BX]

Oh oh. Google soggy buiscut!

[LexHazard79]

im sure thats what they say about you fanboys too. 😂

[nX]

Bathyj
educational purposes and curiosity, I guess... shouldn't have done it tho

[Eiyuuou]

Just thinking makes me drool... I might wanna get that checked out.

[Sam Fisher]

Lmfao especially food 🥘

[DarkKaine]

Well done sir, you have trolled everyone that replied to your comment and took it seriously. Should have lowered my standards knowing I'm in a comments section about CoD.

[MegamanXXX]

The PC version is making me drool!!!!!!!

[IceKoldKilla]

Hahahaha!!!!! Best comment I've heard in a while! Oh and don't forget the particle system with the mud when the soldier have their "boots on the ground" running through it.

[XiNatsuDragnel]

Those loot boxes 😎

[nX]

this degenerated youth

[MagicBeanz]

Thank the legalization of marijuana.

[nX]

^Bullshit. Education is the problem and you seem to have missed that as well.

[Allsystemgamer]

@magic

Prohibition of items make usage and criminality go up.

Plus marijuana is far less dangerous than alcohol. Why aren't you complaining about that?

You on the magic beans?

[XiNatsuDragnel]

Oh sorry, the game looks pretty.

[spicelicka]

lol and this is why microtransactions are rampant folks, people care about rainbow skins more than enjoying the gameplay.

[B1uBurneR]

In other words, X1X will have the "turned up" version on consoles.

[Summons75]

Oh, don't compare your trash to a classic. They weren't afraid to show Swastikas which you took out because you were afraid of backlash.

[81BX]

Fuck swastikas

[Allsystemgamer]

Great contribution. Really insightful.

[81BX]

Thanks. Just letting you know where I stand. I enjoy games where I kill nazis

[BLKxSEPTEMBER]

I co sign that statement 100%

[ShadowWolf712]

...they're still in the campaign you nimrod, they were taken out of MP modes so everyone could still play together since some countries banned its use in games.

[Summons75]

You do realize that makes zero sense and is a total BS excuse for censorship right? What are they doing about the campaign then censoring it in those countries or just not giving them the content? They can just censor them in those countries and stop bending to the easily triggered babies.

[ShadowWolf712]

Please tell me how you can censor a multiplayer mode in only those countries without restricting their ability to play with anyone outside those countries.

The campaign is isolated. It's not played with people around the world. Learn how games work before saying stupid things.

[IceKoldKilla]

Is Wolfenstein can do it then why can't they? I blame Activision again.

[mafiahajeri]

Buwhahahaha there's no female soldiers in SPR, so no...

Regardless you ain't gonna have the same effect on people as one of the best movies ever IMO. No matter what you do.

[Thunder_G0d_Bane]

This game looks like it was made in WW2

[sergons]

yep, they still use that outdated source engine from 1999. This game looks like a trash.

[NobleRed]

It's the quake engine not the source engine.

[CaEsAr-]

Watched some MP gameplay.. damage is f*cked up and soldiers die too quickly. Trash is all it is.

[andrewsquall]

So, something that is overated then with a cool opening?

[obidanshinobi]

Squeezing Private Ryan

[Newmanator]

Not sure what they are using the power on if you can't even bring down a wall with a rocket launcher.

[equal_youth]

Hopefully single player is historically correct and not like MP, politically correct bs.

[AnubisG]

I don't recall Saving Private Ryan trying to rewrite history to be politically correct.

Sorry SG, your game will not be anything like SPR.

[fatbastard11]

Did Saving Private Ryan implement black Nazi women soldiers?

[81BX]

The $160 version comes with game and statue, poster and patches. The $100 version comes with game, steel book and season pass. Know which one I'm getting lol

[kevnb]

Just pr none sense, nothing to see here.

[XStation4pio_Pro]

Well the one x version should shine on consoles then.

[jc12]

COD developer claims the engine has a "new destruction system." I'll believe it when I see it.

[narsaku]

What?.. "Gaming's", saving private ryan?.. Does that mean it's a story based kind of on the movie, or that they think the game is a savior for the FPS genre?

I sincerely hope it's not the latter. Because this IP has done nothing but bring in an age of milked ip's, non creative developers and low quality yearly installments.

[nucky64]

if the devs are hoping for that, I hope they put more effort into the SP story/gameplay than any previous CoD has done.

[NotanotherReboot]

This will be goty

[cellfluid]

It doesn't matter how much power you guys squeeze out it will be the same old bullshit..

[Tankbusta40]

It wont be, These devs are just hyping up their annual call of duty release like normal

[Yohshida]

It will be gamings Transformers, a blockbuster to see and looks cool the first time. But dont think about it or you shame yourself to death.
