Call of Duty Advanced Warfare Lead Platform Not XB1, PS4 Will Be Definitive Console Version: Insider

Sledgehammer Games recently unveiled images and the first trailer for Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare which showcased – among other things – EXO suits, futuristic weaponry, PMCs and the ever amazing Kevin Spacey. The visuals caught our attention above all as they appeared several tiers above last year’s Call of Duty: Ghosts. Best of all, the footage was all captured on the Xbox One. But is it the lead platform?

[ats1992]

Yep i didn't even have to read the article to know this was from Thuway. This guy really needs to just stop he is just as bad as famousmortimer and needs to be banned from neogaf. The sooner we get rid of all these so called "insiders" the better it will be.

[Nitrowolf2]

If he`s right people arr gonna source him as crrdible but ignore the fact that this rumor started in march

[mark3214uk]

why would they release a trailer saying filmed on the xbox one if ps4 was lead platform?

[NatureOfLogic_]

Why do people dislike these insiders so much. They're right about most of their rumors. I remember people going after CBOAT after he said, Xbox One will be mostly 720p games, now look at Xbox One library of games, mostly 720p or <1080p. I like that these insiders sort of counter MS moneyhatting tactics. We get real info, no bs.

[Jubez187]

i saw "arr" and now I wanna play

[afterMoth]

In shocking news a fake insider claims the most powerful console will be the lead platform.

Have to love Neogaf and all their "insiders".

[AceBlazer13]

It's possible. Even if they made PS4 the lead platform, Microsoft still would have dibs on the early dlc and advertising.

[Sevir]

The simple answer to your question is the fact that All COD games since COD4:MW was shown on an Xbox platform. And most importantly because MS has Partnership with Activision for the COD IP, in the same way Sony has with Acti and Destiny.

All COD games are marketed on XBOX since Call of Duty 4, so that includes promotional footage and exclusive Advertising and DLC on the platform first.

[TomShoe]

A lead platform is the system that a game is initially developed in. After it's finished on the lead platform, the game is then ported to other platforms. Thuway means that the game is being developed initially on the PS4. Xbox is being advertised because Microsoft and Activision have a co-marketing agreement, like Sony has with Destiny.

[Sevir]

Ghost was lead on PC, and shown off on XBOX One and the PS4 still ends up being the best of the 2 next gen... They could lead on XBO to maximize its performance for that platform, but on PS4 it'll shine being the more powerful console...

[Peppino7]

This is good news unless the xbone version comes out better once again on multiplat. So unless dev use each systems' advantages during development instead of making an equally looking game for parity-sake then the lead plat is gonna have some bad backlash if it has an inferior final game.

[papashango]

thuway....really?

[fr0sty]

@mark

$$$. Just like how all the DLC will come out on XB1 first as well. Same as with Ghosts, even though PS4 was still the definitive console version.

MS wanted the XB1 version seen first before the pixel counters got hold of the comparison footage, so people could still see that even though it will likely run at 900p or below, it still looks good.

[lawgone]

@Sevir I have a PS4 and XB1 and I have COD Ghosts and Battlefield 4 on both. The PS4 version is vastly inferior. I even sent mine in for repairing thinking it was broken. Nope. New one does the same thing. Just google "PS4 frame rate issues" and you'll see scores of people still having problems. It's often unplayable and I've given up on it. I only play it on the XB1 now. I'm pissed at how it behaves on the PS4.

http://community.callofduty...

[avengers1978]

Xbox has a deal with COD for advertising and DLC, much like Sony with watchdogs and destiny.
The trailer they showed did say "captured on Xbox one" it didn't say running on XB1, it didn't said made on XB1, it said captured... To me that indicates they hooked up a PC to an XB1 with HDMI and used XB1s share feature nothing more.

If the game is 800-900p 60fps on XB1, and 1080p 60fps on PS4 what then.

[scott182]

Great! Can't wait to play on PS4!

[GamerXD]

Why not, it's a slow news day lol.

[afterMoth]

Breaking news from this same Neogaf "insider"

"Mario Kart 8's lead platform will be the Wii U!"

[Benjaminkno]

The only "rumor" is that the definitive console version is completely ignored by the "Call of Duty" loyalists, (and I use that term loosely) completely neglect the superior WiiU version.

Perhaps it's the name.

[Webbyy]

Thuway. Sigh

[torchic]

with that said, PS4 being lead platform + being the definitve version probably isn't too far away from the truth...

[Fireseed]

Definitive CONSOLE version...

[nypifisel]

Pretty sure it will still be marketed as an Xbox game, no way MS giving away that cash cow. PS4 being definitive version will be the case of every single game released this generation, that's just physics.

Calling the game "amazing looking" is having a laugh really though, the engine will be the same. And gamers are getting tired of it, I think the FPS market is very fatigued right now, especially concerning twich shooters. Hopefully we'll see something new coming out of it.

[No_Limit]

Thuway, LOL. This rumor was started by Pete Dodd back in March. Dodd was recently exposed as a fake for spreading lies about the Sony layoffs and is since banned from Neogaf. Thuway is just picky backing on what Dodd said since he is just another fanboy disguise as an insider, just like his buddy, Pete Dodd.
http://www.gamepur.com/news...

It could be true or not but most people really don't care which one is the lead, only fanboys do.

[GortJester]

Anyone else laugh at *Picky Backing*?

[Speak_da_Truth]

Fanboys such as yourself right!! oh no i own both consoles so i'm not a fanboy pshhhhh!!1!!

[No_Limit]

@a7xgemini ,

You are right, it is piggy backing...lol, got me there on the typo.

@Speak_da_Truth, wrong, I actually own three consoles and I am getting MLB 14 one more day for my PS4, Mario Kart 8 at the end of the month while enjoying my Titanfall on XB1. Hope you enjoy your inFamous on PS4 as I also have that game as well. :P

[RyanShutup]

darkside points awarded to you tho for keeping the typo so I could get a laugh out of it. Well played bro! ;)

[Mikelarry]

@ mark

exactly what I was thinking as well, as much as i like COD i really don't care enough which platform is lead aynmore. now if this was a new IP it would be a different story.

[user5669510]

Agree The gfx look trash on every platform, so I Dont get the hype. Cod is fun but I want to know is why are they still making this every year. Who is still buying these. Are the same people that buys madden every year. I Dont even remember the last risk Activision took.

Was the last risk trying to bully the original IW team. I see wrong risk. Or was it bringing out sc and diablo 3 ten years too early

[Metfanant]

Let's face it...you only feel this way because you don't want what he says to be true...

[TekoIie]

Thats sort of logic can be caught and thrown right back at anyone who uses it -_-

[AngelicIceDiamond]

What Thuway is saying is true the PS4 is most powerful therefor the game will I guess in someways look better on PS4 like resolution. Though early showings suggest the res is above 720p on X1 already.

He also stated 7 millions+ sales suggest most people will play the game on PS4 with there friends the most.

Ok but that's based off of what? Educated guess and speculation? He has no real evidence or proof of what he said. Even though what he said makes perfect sense.

But his statement sounds like something someone will say here on N4G.

The marketing push that MS usually does for COD will push the usual high units sold on X1 the version compared to the other versions Even if that number isn't usually by a whole lot.

The ones that care about the power difference will buy it for PS4 of course but what if X1 is 1080p 60 frames this time? There goes the power difference all we have then is sales to play off of.

Like I said what he saying is right and he could end up being right but hes just giving his 2 cents with no real inside info I mean he doesn't work for Sledgehammer games and I dunno if he has clearance to check up on the game like that so how could he possibly know? He's just giving us his realistic opinion.

Which is great I'm open to speculation.

[04STIBluByU]

You guess it will look better...NO!!! There is no guessing...IT WILL LOOK BETTER! Its THEIR not THERE. Another Big WHAT IF from an xbox fan...Sony has better hardware and more hardware sales therefore lets not kid ourselves. But I do agree that this guy is just pointing out facts!! I love N4G this place has the best comments next to sports fans. I am pro Sony. I admit it. I am 29 years old and have been playing on THEIR consoles since the PS1 days. I have a reason to be pro Sony, they are the best in the gaming business.

[AngelicIceDiamond]

@Blue "You guess it will look better...NO!!! There is no guessing...IT WILL LOOK BETTER!"

You didn't answer my question. "but what if X1 is 1080p 60 frames this time?"

[Mega24]

This "Insiders" are like the Psychics of the gaming industry, they don't know sh*t, they just make basic assumptions, like psychics do, its like the episode of South Park. People who take them seriously are dumb imo.

[Flutterby]

To answer the question you obviously need answering "if X is 1080p 60 frames this time" , we have to look at the facts , the PS4 IS capable of better gaming performance than the xbone along with being easier to make games run because of unified ram , therefore the only thing that can be said if both versions run completely identically is they held the ps4 back for some reason.

Take this as an example for the simple minded people , if you have a giant fat person barely able to walk in a 100 meter sprint race with Usain bolt and they both finish at the same time someone didn't try to use the potential they have.

[Sci0n]

The fact that there is a what if question regarding the X1 version hitting 1080p 60fps already tells you all you need to know. X1 fans have to hope and dream that games like cod will hit 1080p on there console when PS4 fans already know what it is.

[BallsEye]

another "insider" without a source. Why this even make news? Gaming journalism is a joke.

[frostypants]

True or not, who gives a crap?

[HaydenJameSmith]

The idea of insiders in the gaming industry is becoming tiresome, and gamers need to stop believing what they say.

That’s the trouble with all insiders. They seem to get things right sometimes, and others they are completely off, and that is because most “insiders” are just people that just make educated guesses that a lot of hardcore gamers could guess themselves. They are usually wrong when it comes to their bold claims, such as CBOAT and his insane claim that the Titanfall Alpha textures were final, but are right on their easy claims like how the resolution of an Xbox One game will be lower than the PS4, a trend that has been around since the launch of Xbox One and PS4.

It is like if I said, “I have heard rumblings of an existing IP that Microsoft bought during the RARE buyout making a return to Xbox this E3.”

Well that sounds exciting. What could it be!? Perfect Dark, Banjo Kazooie, Conkers Bad Fur Day? Well when this E3 comes around one of two things is going to happen. One of those titles will make a debut or it won’t, and if it doesn’t all I have to say is, “Well the team had some issues making an E3 demo, so it has been pushed a few months, but rest assured its coming.” Instantly I have given those that love any of those three franchises hope because they want to believe that those games will make a comeback.

That is the biggest problem with Insiders, they take advantage of what people want/hope to be true. Gamers need to stop believing everything they say or there just setting themselves up for disappointment.

Edit:
I'd also like to point out he said Infinity Ward Devs prefer PS4, Sledgehammer are working on Next Gen versions of CoD AW... not Infinity Ward.

[sebzhd]

IN YOUR FACE M$

[Magicite]

check and mate, MS.
its time for xbox to become underdog.

[ITPython]

Only a person who is extremely selfish would be against the PS4 being the lead platform. Why? Just like last gen when you make the most powerful console the lead for multiplat games, all versions benefit the most they can. When the PS3 was lead last gen, all versions looked their best and performed their best. However when the 360 was the lead, the PS3 version was downright awful in comparison.

I imagine the same for this gen. If the PS4 gets lead, then every console gets the best version it can run, which is win-win for everybody. But if the XB1 leads, then the PS4 version will likely be terrible.

This is another good point for the PS4 maintaining its dominance this gen, because that means more games will use the PS4 as lead (everybody wins). But if the XB1 was leading in sales, then more games would be made lead on it and the PS4 version would be gimped (only those on the XB1 win). So if you are one of the people who wants the XB1 to beat the PS4 in sales, just think about that for a second, because it is incredibly selfish.

This is also why MS is ruining the gaming industry, because say they paid to get the XB1 as the lead, then that means they are intentionally gimping the game for the PS4 just so they can advertise and boast about the XB1 being lead.

[Automatic79]

I agree these insiders are jokes click bait artist seeking attention.

[HammerKong]

ye madarchod insiders ab ki gand me danda ghused do,these people are ruining the gaming world,stop it insiders.

[HammerKong]

ye madarchod insiders ki gand me danda ghused do,these people are ruining the gaming world,stop it insiders.

[malokevi]

This article is deserving of a new title: "Fanboys have a lame argument about the same stupid crap on Twitter. Hearsay and conjecture abound. Everybody cares."

[christocolus]

"Rasheed continued, “Put that inside your head. The developers who made the game. Majority will play the game on PS4 at home with friends.”

Lol.. the guy sounds really pissed. I guess we will know if he is right or wrong pretty soon. For now ill keep dreaming about that amazing trailer.it looked really good and if it indeed was running on xbox one then i must applaud Sledgehammer. They seem to have achieved what infinity ward couldnt.

[TheGreatGamer]

Well IW developed for all current gen and past gen consoles whereas SH are only developing for current gen not to mention the fact they've had an extra year. Finally, Wait till you see it on PS4, xbox one was running it on a sub-par resolution I can't wait to see this game in it's full 1080p on ps4!

[k3rn3ll]

@thegreatgamer
And you know it was running on sub par resolution because why?

[christocolus]

@k3rnll

I thought you knew. thegreatgamer works at sledgehammer games. He is their creative director.

[Stoppokingme]

Have you been living under a rock? twitter is the ultimate source for gaming news lately.

#sarcasm

[mhunterjr]

I figured the multiplatform trend would be PC as lead platform, then porting to ps4 and Xb1. It would make sense to me considering a the similarities between The architecture.

Naturally, in terms of visuals, it will continue to be PC>ps4>xb1 for multiplats

[Convas]

Exactly how it should my IMO.

Both PS4 and XB1 are x86 based now.

Multiplatform games should be premium quality on PC and then filter down to PS4 and XONE respectively.

[GarrusVakarian]

"Multiplatform games should be premium quality on PC and then filter down to PS4 and XONE respectively."

Yep, that's exactly how it should be. That way, you ensure that each platform gets the best possible version it can get. If you made the weaker platform the lead platform, you would be gimping the more powerful platforms.

[k3rn3ll]

Yea I agree but from a business stand point its hard to do that for a platform that your only gonna get a tiny ammoj by of sales on compared to ms and sony. COD has never had as big of a following on pc. Not saying its right but it makes sense. That's why pc had so many bad ports last gen

[Vegamyster]

The CoD community on PC has been dropping for quite a bit so it doesn't surprise me they're focusing on the console hardware instead of spending time to take advantage of higher end PC hardware. It should at this point be PC then ported down but it comes down to demand, if the devs see the extra work isn't going to be apprenticed or influence someones decision on what version they pick up they won't bother.

[mhunterjr]

That's the thing, with the common architecture, they won't have to 'spend extra time taking advantage of PC hardware . Pc should naturally be the easiest to develop for, with the least amount of optimization.

Then they would relatively easily port that version to the ps4 and xb1 and optimize for those two platforms separately. This would be the path of least resistance, regardless of which platform has the higher installed base.

Seriously, it doesn't make sense to lead with and optimize on either console. It would make porting to the other console unneccisarily difficult, and it would screw up the PC version for no good reason.

[HaydenJameSmith]

Consoles have a greater level of Optimization unlike PC at the moment plus they have to cater for a lot more hardware where as consoles are fixed, the x86 architecture already makes it easier to develop for... They already make the Games with High spec dev kit PCs and then optimise for dev kit consoles...

[TheDevKit]

Most PC games utilize the same rendering techniques console games do.

[user5669510]

You should know doing work and activision does not go together. They are all for making a quick buck with min effort

[Illusive_Man]

PS4 will be 1080p for sure. But if Infinity Ward gets to 1080p on X1 then what?

Will the world explode?

[thezeldadoth]

ps4 owners would get mad for some reason. they legitimately get angry when other consoles do well. its so weird

[DrJones]

Yeah they do.

[thezeldadoth]

the disagrees don't change the fact, they actually reinforce it. clicking disagree because your feelings are hurt

[qu1ckset]

The world won't it explode , PS4 will just have better textures lol

*jokes aside who cares , buy the game for the platform you own and enjoy!

[k3rn3ll]

Sony fans will then 180 and say "Its COD so it doesn't count because no one cares" most likely

[HaydenJameSmith]

Well Infinity Ward aren't making the game for a next gen for a start... Sledgehammer are...

[Tedakin]

PS4 owners will claim MS paid them to downgrade. It could be the best looking game ever made in the history of Earth, but if somehow it's 1080p on Xbone, obviously there's an MS funded conspiracy to make it look bad.

[Josh101]

"PS4 owners will claim MS paid them to downgrade."
^^
You honestly would put that past Microsoft? It's in the same realm as them paying Respawn to keep the first Titanfall off PS4. It's the exact same concept.

[Ghost_Nappa]

Respawn had nothing to do with Titanfall not being on playstation. The exclusivity deal was done behind their backs by EA. respawn had no knowledge of it until after the fact. In fact, the reason Respawn chose the Source engine for titanfall was because it was easy to work with on ps3.

[Flutterby]

I would think ps4 owners would want to know why the devs didn't use the ps4s more powerful hardware to its advantage the same way if the pc version I get doesn't look better than the console versions I would want to know why and there is only 2 possible reasons 1. Gimped the better hardwares versions to be on par with lower performance hardware or 2. Devs just really couldn't be arsed making all versions take advantage of the hardware in their respective machines. Which is lazy.

It's really not that hard to understand the hardware performance is higher on pc than console in general , the ps4 hardware performance is higher than the xbone. Put it this easy xbone fanboys, if they make a Wii u version and it was on par with the xbone you wouldn't think the wiiu had the same power as the xbone. No matter what you wish was true or may even mistakingly believe , the ps4 has more power and can achieve more the same way as pc is to both consoles.

[DanielGearSolid]

I cant mess wit gamingbolt anymore, their ads slow my pc to a crawl, and cover half the screen on my smartphone...

i cant get jiggy with that sh^^!

[Majin-vegeta]

adblock is your friend my good man.

OT:Hmmm let's see how it plays out this year

[forcefullpower]

Absolutely.

[elninels]

The website doesn't work for me at all. After I exit the ad there is no text and all I see is the gamingbolt banner. Perhaps its my browser, chrome, but I dont experience this problem with other sites.

Edit: spell check spell check

[RedSoakedSponge]

this news pleases me greatly lol. not that i dont like the Xbox One (i actually own one myself) but because its the most powerful of the consoles. i think the definitive version should always be on the console with the most power.

[Benjaminkno]

COD on Nintendo is a superior experience, unless you're on PC.

To hell with how pretty it looks, why do you think console developers are becoming extinct?

COD "EVERY YEAR"? It's nothing new.

Really though, two players with the gamepad is undeniably superior, in spite of the mindless CoD fanboy fever. Halo and TF are better than CoD all day anyway.

[Tatsuya]

I think we already know this, PS4 will always be the lead platform for this gen :)

[Xdone]

" PS4 will always be the lead platform for this gen :)"

And it truly deserves that :)

[Illusive_Man]

PC honestly should lead not PS4, and that is coming from an X1 fan.

[ColonelRex]

@Illusive_Man:

Then the games would be even more difficult to port plus they would not sell well on PC because not everyone has GTX Titan gpus.

[Ittoryu]

Ouch

[Benjaminkno]

I see your bubble in a bit of a different light. I pity the CoD gamers. They are mindless parasites to the future of gaming. It's never anything new anymore.

[Ittoryu]

pretty much

[JMyers]

I have a feeling this game will be 1080p on PS4, and a lower resolution on XBONE, resulting in the marketing footage being PS4 gameplay.

[Speak_da_Truth]

The truth is Ps4 being the lead platform is still good news for Xbox one owners because if Xbox one was the lead platform, then Sledgehammer would not be pushing the games graphics as much so if this is true the i'm glad because i want devs to push the power of my Ps4

[DrJones]

That's not how it works.

[Kribwalker]

Thuway is feeling pretty butthurt after his last half dozen predictions didn't come true (alpha textures for titanfall, 1 million infamous preorders ect ect). He's an obvious sony fanboy with an agenda. And an idiot to boot

[Xavy]

Well infamous sold more then 1 mil whats your point?

[ats1992]

That wasn't thuways prediction though he said there was 1 million pre orders and he was wrong.

[imt558]

Well, thuway said that TitanFall will push Xbone sales.

Nothing happened.

[ThatOneGuyThere]

i pre-ordered SS at gamestop. i never picked it up. lol

[ColonelRex]

@ThatOneGuyThere:

So you just basically donated money to gamestop?

[elninels]

@colonelrex

Yes and no. That $5 can be moved to any other preorder or purchase. You won't get it back in cash, but it's not like gamestop can just take it from you.

[Fusion_Ninja]

Your loss...idiot.

[ThatOneGuyThere]

i kind of forgot about it. got addicted to GT6. and yeah, i know my 5$ credit is sitting there. and there it will sit until something comes out i wanna play. maybe driveclub? unless Diablo 3 comes out before.

[Clown_Syndr0me]

Whether this is true or not doesn't bother me, but I swear anyone can say anything and call themselves an insider regardless on whether or not its the truth.
These articles suck.

[elninels]

Allegedly insiders on neogaf have to divulge their sources to the moderators or get the boot.

[OC_MurphysLaw]

It matters little which console is the lead platform, especially if they are still building a game that is cross generation.

[Yodagamer]

From what i've heard the next gen version is developed exclusively by sledgehammer and the last gen port is being done separately much like titanfall was. Heck they should probably hire bluepoint for it too considering how good of a port they did.

[BattleTorn]

My question is which was lead for COD:Ghosts?

It's my understanding that 'lead platform' is no longer which platform will perform best - rather which system has the exclusivity DLC deal.

Wasn't X1 "lead platform" for Ghosts? After googling, all I could find is articles stating COD:AW "switching" to PS4 as lead. Which leads me to believe that Xbox One was the lead platform for a instalment (Ghosts) that was outperformed by the non-lead platform.

PS; seems Gamingbolt aren't the only ones reporting this
http://www.inquisitr.com/12...

[OC_MurphysLaw]

From the link you gave me: "insiders have claimed that the PlayStation 4 version will be the one the developers prefer." which basically means Thuway since that is the insider of choice for these guys. Thuway is a self admitted Sony "Fan" so who knows.

What I do know is the term "definitive" is pretty much useless here. One version "may" have more pixels 1080 vs 900 if rumors hold true to November, and the other version has time exclusivity on all DLC.

Do the extra 180p's make or break it...does the 1 month exclusivity make the other more attractive. Honestly not sure either truly matters in my eyes but for a many here I am sure those things do.

[Father Murder X]

does it really matter? Normally you all hate COD but when something is in favor of Ps4 you love it. You can't have it both ways.

[Darkfist]

nah, i still hate cod, at least you fanboys can praise it for the early maps lol.

[Flutterby]

Please link the comments of all the people in this thread saying they love COD thanks cos I can't find any. You xbone fanboys can't play the hypocrisy card every time when it seems you guys move the goal posts enough to lose them.

[Benjaminkno]

I'm right there with you bro. I can't stand the CoD crowd. It's nothing new, and they don't even bother with it on Nintendo. 2-player online is actually pretty good with the gamepad, but it's all about graphics and frames that aren't noticeable, and staying away from the "Wii" brand.

[Iltapalanyymi]

http://u.kahvipaketti.com/u...

pic related.

[wodan]

all Multiplatform should be better on the better platform(ps4),there is no excuse this time.

[DrJones]

The multiplatforms have always looked better on ps4.

[XiSasukeUchiha]

Damn PS4 domination is everywhere

[TheGreatGamer]

X1 fanboys are trolling this post so much, it is FACT that ps4 will run this game at a higher resolution than the xbone therefore giving it the better graphical fidelity over the xbone, at least MS has paid for you all to get dlc first ps4 owners will just own the superior version of the game

[ats1992]

It is fact? Would you like to show us all the article where sledgehammer games confirms the resolution for both consoles.

[TheGreatGamer]

http://www.eurogamer.net/ar...

SH will confirm it in due time young x1 fanboy but digital foundry have always been correct on this stuff and seeming as the trailer said 'Captured on xbox one it would be foolish to not realize it's going to be sub-1080p.

[Xavy]

Ghost was 1080p but not on Xbone, why?

Use your that brain you got please!

[AutoCad]

wait infinity ward is making this game lol?

Thuway has lost credibility time after time.

[GarrusVakarian]

I believe it's a joint effort between Infinity Ward and Sledgehammer Games.

[porkChop]

It isn't. Sledgehammer is making the game by themselves. A separate studio is in charge of porting the game down to PS3/360, and that studio hasn't been announced yet but they're only porting and have nothing to do with actually designing the game.

[porkChop]

He never said Infinity Ward was making AW. What he said is that the IW developers who are the creators of the COD franchise have openly admitted to preferring the PS4. And he was using that to further his point of COD switching to PS4 as lead platform for this generation. Reading helps, you should try it sometime.

[GarrusVakarian]

"It isn't. Sledgehammer is making the game by themselves. "

You're right, my bad.

[AutoCad]

so why should i care about iw playing this on their ps4?

is the game not gonna be 60fps on the xbox one?

[Xavy]

Try get informed before you say something like that lmao.

[MultiConsoleGamer]

Nope

And the source lost all credibility long ago

[cruzngta]

Nothing new here guys... Ghost was 1080p for PS4 and 720p for XB1 so what did you really expect with this game which in my opinion would be even harder for MS to get 1080p because of the more demanding graphics this obviously showcases over Ghosts. Even with the extra time this time around and better sdk's it still wont help close the obvious internal hardware disadvantage XB1 has to keep dealing with. They will propably hit 900p/60 by launch and that is much better than 720p if you ask me so thats still good for MS and its fanbase. Any improvement is a good thing and shows that they have optimised the hardware somewhat to be able to get a higher resolution with a newer more demanding COD that last years so that shows progress on the part of devs and MS.

[Elit3Nick]

It was 720p on XB1 because of poor optimization, this is supported by how unstable the PC version was. But of course Sony fanboys will "forget" how poorly optimized the PS3 version of most CoD games were last gen.

[Xavy]

Like Titanfall 792p, KL 720p, Ryes 900p or maybe BF4 720p and the list goes on.

[DanielGearSolid]

I don't understand your point...

Sony fanboys got hell for inferior multiplats

And now you expect them NOT to be happy about having better or equal multiplats?

[Man_Son]

IGN confirmed that the X1 was the lead platform the other day.

[Metfanant]

Noooooooo they didn't lol

[GarrusVakarian]

No they didn't. They confirmed DLC priorities, which people (somehow) mistook for lead platform priorities.

[cruzngta]

The only thing they confirmed was that MS gets DLC first - I didnt see anywhere where they speculated on what the lead platform would be.

As much as i hate to admit it, i think the source is going going the assumption that the console with the largest install base gets lead platform. We all know money talks and i must mention we know nothing of the contract microsoft has with cod devs. I think cod dev are still contractually obligated to get early DLC for xb1 even though they're behind in install and cod sales.

[turkish41]

pay more play less 720p awaits!

[corvusmd]

Oh...Thuway...we can stop right there, he's another one of those "insiders" that knows less than me. Either way, at this point, it really doesn't matter which is the lead platform, and differences probably won't even be noticeable. I'm fine to wait and see what actually happens.

Also, I think the idea of "lead" platform is kinda overblown. It seems like it's not necessarily a preference of one over the other, but more of which way is it easier to port to the other...in that case it would seem Developing for PS4 and porting to Xb1 would be easier...if that's the case...big whoop...who cares? No one is saying it's not coming to either platform, and as we have already seen, it looks great on XB1, which according to all the insiders here is the "weaker" version...and it's still 6 months out...whatever we are bickering about here doesn't seem worth our time. Have a nice day....Xbox, Go to Titanfall.

[shysun]

They need to cut out PS4 owners having to wait for the dlc!

[FITgamer]

As long has Microsoft continues to hand out checks, that won't happen.

[shysun]

Well ps4 owners should just say no to cod! Make them respect us!

[Tedakin]

It's CUTE how much of a know it all douche Thuway always comes across as.

[Tedakin]

He said PS4 is lead because they want those 7 million installs. They've been developing this game for 3 years. Did they suddenly switch it over to PS4 in the last few months if it wasn't already? That makes no sense.

[Mr Pumblechook]

@Tedakin. I don't have any insider information! However the launch batch of next-gen games were developed on high end PCs with specs that matched what developers predicted the new PlayStation and Xbox would have. When the dev kits were sent to them they adapted their software to match the final specs of the PS4 and Xbone. No doubt the situation is the same for Sledgehammer only they will have had more time to play with final hardware of the new consoles.

[lovelobster]

Thuway you are wrong again!! http://gamingbolt.com/call-...

[Fanci]

Love how people are instantly disagreeing with you, even though this article is completely false "speculation". People obviously don't remember "Filmed on Xbox One"

[Predaking77]

This time there is no excuse for the Xbox version not to be 1080p. If some how is not then the negative impact will be huge.

[Ra3030]

"Best of all, the footage was all captured on the Xbox One."
I don't understand why is it better that this footage was captured on the X1 as opposed to being captured on say PC or the WII U or even the PS3 or any other console. Is Gamingbolt a troll site for Microsoft? That is a troll comment for sure.

[ma1asiah]

I thought it was the next Infinity Ward iteration of COD that has the PS4 as lead platform.

If Sledgehammers COD has been in development for close to 2 years and historically for the best part of last gen Xbox was the lead platform then would it not stand to reason that Xbox was still lead platformn for this one as well. I'm pretty certain that it is all future entries in the COD series that have PS4 as the lead platform.

Also ummm this -

"When developing for next gen consoles, doesn’t it make sense to focus on the most powerful one?"

Wasn't the PS3 supposed to be more powerful than the X360, so given that logic then why was the PS3 not the lead platform last gen.

Please don't give me the whole because the xbox is a shooter platform BS.

let me list shooters that are exclusive to Playstation

Socom
Killzone
Resistance
Time Crisis
MAG
Heck you probably could also count Ratchet and Clank as well.

Now compare that to the Xbox

Halo
Crackdown
Gears of War
Perfect Dark Zero
Prey

Every other shooter was cross platform so why the hell do people keep calling the Xbox the shooter platform????

[Condemnedman]

Because it's an excuse for them use to back up their lies.

[DefenderOfDoom2]

Because HALO and GEARS of WAR were big big sellers for MICROSOFT platforms and SONY platforms is known to have great games from all genres of video games ! Another stereotypes is that SONY gamers are more mature and older, while XBOX gamers are younger and not as mature ! These are more dumb stereo types that people should just ignore! Gamers should have respect to other gamers no matter what platform they game on!

[Condemnedman]

Well I don't disagree that Sony has great games but a mature gamers? Lol not true and you don't have factual proof of that do you ?

[Condemnedman]

I'm still getting a xbox one . I don't care I won't regret it.

[ma1asiah]

I have owned an X1 since launch and not once have I regretted my purchase.

I love my console and all of the games I own, even if most love to spew hate all over it.

I even still own an X360 so I am never short of games to play.

I didn't care who was the most powerful last gen or which one had better graphics. So I see no reason to change my way of thinking this gen.

[Father__Merrin]

i know which console version will be best!!!

[lawgone]

Well if it's at all like Ghosts then the XB1 will be best. And I'm not happy about that...they should be the same.

PS4 will be 1080p for sure. But if Infinity Ward gets to 1080p on X1 then what?

Will the world explode?
#4

it means they watered down the graphics to achieve that,and the ps4 would have better other effects/graphics/textures ect. unless the devs CHOSE parity,simple as that,this is not difficult

[larrysdirtydrawss]

Predaking77 + 2h ago
This time there is no excuse for the Xbox version not to be 1080p. If some how is not then the negative impact will be huge.
#31 xone didnt exactly get more powerful since launch,,,why should it be different,unless the devs are really lowering the graphics(think forza crowd/environments and even car downgrades) bar,xone will still be the eye-sore edition

[annus]

Sweet, 6 months in and PC already losing support for multiplat leads. Hoping it's not 2007/2008 all over again.

[DefenderOfDoom2]

Lets be real now ! I said it before and i will say it again " Most people who buy CALL of DUTY games will not even read this article or even know this article does exist!" also why so much hate against people who work on, and develop video games. These people work hard to make video games that entertain us!!

[Sparticus_1]

who really cares besides 9 year olds....its cod....so what...the most overrated game of all time...

[Sparticus_1]

Who really cares except 9 year olds...its cod...big deal....the most overrated game ever

[Drasill]

Thuway is a known Sony fanboy and is hardly ever right.

[sgtGanGreen]

Well if you look at it this way. Maybe ps4 will have more players because there is no other games to play on ps4

[hello12]

He went on record backing CBOAT of Neogaf when he claimed Titanfall was running at 720p and looked identical to the 360 version. So why are people listening to him still?

He is just a Sony fan boy his excuses are so unbelievable.

Neogaf most of the time, are wrong, on a few things they hit the mark about the xb1.

[gigoran]

Is everyone forgetting the most important thing?

It's COD! So who gives a flying .....!
Made for this, made for that, better on this, dlc on that.
It's still COD! I know I won't touch the thing.
Most people over 20 have given up on te series.

[KaMaHKaZiE]

CoD just needs to stop... It's the same thing but,now with robotic suits. To top it off it was all campaign game play so don't get to excited people. Didn't even bother to read the article especially if its from,this chump of an "insider"

[S2Killinit]

Interesting read

[DLConspiracy]

I am all for the success for both consoles, but the truth be. Xbox One has a better online experience. In chat, social and servers. Games download faster from their servers too. With that said. How am I supposed to care about resolution when hearing my teammates is more important? Call outs win games. If you can't hear those call outs with clarity then what's the difference if it's 1080p or 720p? That's one thing that urks me about my PS4. I talk to my friends on it and it's all drowned out. It's completely different than when I talk on Xbox Live. However, the chat part does go down a bit lately on Xbox Live. Not sure why, but it's been off and on occasionally.

With that said, there are more people on Playstation, but if I want to hear my friends or have great servers to have matches on. I always choose Xbox. Again, resolution is the least of my worries while being competitive in a game. It's more important for me to have steady (or as close to) the highest frame rates than it is to see textures on a leaf when I have explosions and gunfire in my face.

If Sony was to fix that, they would win me over more. Until then I am using my PS4 as a single player game machine most and my Xbox One for social and Multiplayer games. As far as those purist resolution kiddies go. Get a PC and be done with it. Then you can be happy to have up to 4k if your hearts desires resolution.

[Iamnemesis4880]

Why care as long as the game is good that is all that should be talked about.

[pop-voxuli]

Suck it xbone!!

[PrinceOfAllSaiyans]

You know the Xbox dude bros get mad when you talk about thier precious COD.

[lawgone]

I've said this before but I really think I'm going to stop coming here. There's never any news...just the same old Sony fanboy bs. Adios.

[aLiEnViSiToR]

Personally i think this thing is a waste of time for a long time now, why people still play these copy/paste games is beyond me...

http://jonuland.files.wordp...

[matchesmalone]

sounds good, hope it has a longer campain than ghosts

[D3ATH_DRIV3R_777]

This was confirmed weeks ago that they decided that PS4 will be the lead platform for COD and not X1. Correct me if i'm wrong, which i'm not since it's been confirmed by sledgehammer games.

[ma1asiah]

No it was a rumor started by famousmortimer from Neogaf

http://www.neogaf.com/forum...

http://callofduty.wikia.com...

http://www.nowgamer.com/new...

As yet I am sure that Activision has not confirmed or denied this rumor.

EDIT this is just 2 hours old

Just like Ghosts and previous COD franchise dating back to 2009, Sledgehammer Games' 2014 installment will offer timed exclusivity of DLC content for the Xbox One and Xbox 360.

This was confirmed via Xbox Wire: "Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, developed by Sledgehammer Games (co-developers of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3), harnesses the first three-year, all next-gen development cycle in franchise history, and again brings all add-on content first to Xbox."

This effectively dispels previous rumours that Activision has finally made the PS4 the lead platform for the Call of Duty franchise. Hardcore Gamer previously reported a quote from industry insider Pete Famousmortimer Dodd NeoGAFer, where he had stated that Activision may be jumping ship from Xbox One to get into the PS4 bandwagon, despite COD being one of the biggest franchises for the Xbox 360.

[thelaughingwiseman]

X Box will still get the DLC a year earlier than the PS4

[DarXyde]

Honestly, this kind of news only benefits people with both platforms.

If you want this game and have one console, odds are, you're buying it for that console.

Even if you had both, odds are, you'll go with the console with (a) the controller that works best for you and (b) the most amount of people you want to play with online. Either way, assuming this insider is correct, the XBOX One version, as we've seen, will still look good...kind of. Presumably, it'll also run at 60 fps since that's a standard Call of Duty prides itself in.

And so you all know, I say it will look "kind of good" because, though the graphics are not by any means terrible, they still don't look very next gen in some places right now. The graphics come off as inconsistent. Presumably, the PS4 version will look better, but it's hard to tell how much difference there will be honestly. Either way, play whichever version because both will likely not have any gameplay hitches as far as buggy coding and the like. Can't go wrong, I guess.

[bornsinner]

cod looks better on ps4 just like every other multiplat. FACT.

but cod will never be a lead platform for ps4 because ms put a lot of money for exclusivity & they have a good relationship since dlc exclusivity has been going on since the last 3 years of cod, they even used cloud compute servers for cod online on ghosts.

as graphics disparity between xbone & ps4 disappears or at least not as noticeable then xbone will always be the compete definitive version.

i'm a graphics guy so i will always favor the ps4 until xbone get their games to hit 1080p

[_LarZen_]

The Playstation 4 will be the best version on the new consoles. You have to have your head far far up Microsofts behind not to understand why.

[cruzngta]

DX12 already providing XB1 with an extra 162p gravy to up res to a whopping 882p. Lets see what they hit by launch.

[danthegamerfiend]

So if ps4 was the lead platform why wasn't it shown in the ps4 but the xbox one? And who cares what developers play these days, they probably don't have time to play anyway when they always making games. Thuway is troll

[MCTJim]

just a thought..since when do people pixel count on a work in progress trailer? Launch window is still 6 months away....and does it really matter what platform is lead?

as for Thruway...he spews bile to start flame wars..thats it..hope he quits like the other guy. Only time when we hear from him is when positive news outweighs the bad news...he spews for hits...thats it

[CAB1802]

Pfft, rehashes
