Now we've seen CoD Head2Heads before -- the question is -- can Infinity Ward, Sledgehammer Games and Raven Software deliver platform parity this time around? Jump inside for an early look."

Holy ice balls! That looks awful man!

Ares84HU4552d ago

The PS3 version does.

CoD always looked worst on PS3 for some reason. But they still didn't figure out how to make them look equal after all these years. It's like they are making CoD on the PS3 for the first time.

I'm a PS3 gamer myself but in this case PS3 is the clear looser. Terrible lighting and those jaggies are painful.

guitarded774552d ago

Have to admit the jaggies on the power lines are horrendous... and they are shot at the same angle. I pre-ordered on PS3 because I have more friends there, but I knew the XBOX would look better... still looks pretty bad on both though.

darthv724552d ago (Edited 4552d ago )

I dont think the main focus of the game is how well the power lines look. In fact, it isnt about the graphics its about the run and gun and trying not to get killed.

So if you have time to stop and smell the roses and look for jaggies then you will be an easy target to level up on.

Good for you guitarded. You at least can admit you got the game for the platform you have more friends on. If it were only so simple for others to make the same decisions.

@ares. that wasnt directed at you specifically. It is more of a general statement. There are those players that will literally stop in the middle of a game just to look around at stuff.

Pixel_Enemy4552d ago

What do you expect, the engine is at least 4-5 years old and showing it's age. Year after year the game adds new maps, perks, features and game types onto what is essentially still COD4.

Ares84HU4552d ago

@darthv72

First off, this article IS about the graphics and not the gameplay. I'm sure it's the same exact game and can be enjoyed the same exact way but we aren't talking about that.

Did I ever say that all I care about is graphics??? No, I did not. So how did you came up with the idea that I stop in an online match to look around and admire the graphics is beyond me.

But, we don't have to worry about that because I won't be getting it. When Activision decides to actually make a proper new CoD game that doesn't look and play exactly like CoD4 than I might be thinking about getting a new CoD game. enough is enough. I'm tired for paying for the same game year after year with none to minor improvements.

deadpoole4552d ago (Edited 4552d ago )

They didn't even bother ... and I mean to say didn't even bother at all with PS3 Version ...
:(((

And I mean to say Developers ... for the love of God .. u didnt even manage to port the game for PS3 and simply made it Wii version.

A-Glorious-Dawn4552d ago

what saddens me is that this shoddy port, and game will be one of the best sellers on PS3..

To be fair (and I'll wait for DF before I judge)
if this port is as shoddy as those screens make it seem, then I fear to admit that Treyarch actually did a better Job with their shoddy port..

Infinity ward made the game equal on both platforms and as much as people hate on MW2. I had huge respect for what they did with it..

Since MW2, CoD has been and insult to gamers...

buddymagoo4551d ago

It's the community and gameplay that sells this game and not the graphics. Knowing there will always be a large amount of players playing online makes you feel comfortable in the purchase. It may not have a graphics increase but neither do games like Fifa, Madden and even Mario but they sell well because of the community and the gameplay. People should know this by now.

Ares84HU4551d ago

@buddymagoo

I think Paper Mario is very different from Mario Galaxy, don't you think so???

As for FIFA, I only buy a FIFA game every 5 years because by than there are noticeable differences. But CoD have not changed AT ALL since CoD4. Maybe different modes or "new guns" and new maps but it's the same exact thing over and over again. I agree with the saying which is "what's not broken don't fix it" but also "What's become stale and boring needs a breath of fresh air".

Next time I buy a CoD game will be when there is a brand new engine a tons of change. while still keeping the CoD spirit.

At this point, they could make whatever and slap the CoD name on it and it would sell close to 10million on it's first week of release. So why don't they try???? I tell you why, because it costs more money to make something new instead of using the same exact thing OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER again.

You want to be confident that people play online and the community is good?? There are other, better alternatives out there like BF3.

megacowdung4551d ago (Edited 4551d ago )

They have been making games on 360 and PS3 forever. There is absolutely no way the ps3 version can look that bad. I'm 110% sure they made ps3 version look worse on purpose. If you look at the tech specs, ps3 is more powerful than 360 but it has a different "BIOS" if you want to compare it to computers (I think BIOS is the wrong term but i hope you understand what i'm saying, basically they script for writing the games is different on ps3 than 360).

MaxXAttaxX4551d ago

PS3 has poor anti-aliasing.

They both look shit.

Wow. Did they even try with the PS3 version? I mean WOW it looks bad. And we all know that the PS3 can do much better than that.

Kur04552d ago

I'm not one for conspiracy theories but it honestly seems like Microsoft is actually paying money to Activision to make the PS3 version look worse because MW3 doesn't even look that impressive in the first place so it shouldn't have these kind of problems on the PS3 this late in the generation.

Gamer-Z4552d ago (Edited 4552d ago )

The game looks last gen plane and simple but since its COD it will get a pass like always.

Persistantthug4552d ago

Microsoft pays Activision extra for Call Of Duty games, and the final product always shows this.

It's complete bullsh17 and PS3 peeps need to stop buying this nonsense every freakin year just to get sh177ted on with this lazy ass port.

It's a damn shame is what it is.

*goes back to playing BF3*

SSultan4551d ago

One of the reasons I own a 360 now so late in its life cycle is due to the frustration that comes with multiplats and the PS3. I hope you're playing BF3 on PC though... Any other way and you are gimping the real, true experience.

ps3 version has WAY BETTER LIGHTING.
360 version has less jaggies. i give it a tie.

look at the first pic, i can see the ps3 version has more detail on the guys face, i can see it clearer.

on the same pic, the 360 version has way less jaggies though.

WetN00dle694552d ago (Edited 4552d ago )

To be honest, i cant see any shadows whatsoever on the Ps3 side of things.

capcock4552d ago

"Ps3 version has way better lightning"

are u blind? 360 has bloom and tbh everything looked better on 360, textures looked higher res, less jaggies etc. and I'm pretty sure that it will perferm better also.

DonaldBeck4552d ago

wow, calling me a retard is pretty harse and disrespectful huh? reported for personal attack.

Tonester9254552d ago

Bloom? They put the sun... in a lamp! lol I never seen a lamp shine so bright lol They should've done without it to be honest

AntBoogy904552d ago

@DonaldBeck

Where do you see the word "retard"? :|

Venjense4552d ago

While I think 360 looks better, it's lighting is pretty bad.

Excessive bloom + Crushed blacks= No detail

It's like the 360 is stuck on super-high dynamic contrast which is a very bad thing if you looking for a quality visual image.

It gives it more pop but you can't see any details, it's like a TV at Best Buy's store version settings agains a calibrated.

Actually, the 360 version has way better lighting. The 360 version has way better everything.

The PS3 version looks like that there is a constant fog. Looks washed out. Shame that after all these years they can't make the two versions look equal.

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.

GoodGuy097d ago (Edited 7d ago )

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.

Tacoboto6d 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.

Cacabunga6d ago

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

KyRo6d 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

franwex6d ago (Edited 6d 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?

Inverno6d ago (Edited 6d 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.

jjb19816d 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.

PRIMORDUS6d ago (Edited 6d 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.

StoneTitan5d ago

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

Psychonaut856d ago

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

Ra30305d 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"!

melons13d ago

Controversy in the COD community feels like it happens within an alternate timeline. Activision will take the piss with something, there will be a momentary fuss about it, and then they will forget about it and carry on anyway. Repeat this cycle literally every year for the rest of time.

Gridknac13d ago

They call that a crack head! Thats what this is really about, its an addiction. People who dont smoke cigarettes look and laugh at the addicts that spend $8-$10 a pack, but they cant help themselves, they are addicted. That same analogy applies perfectly to the whole MT industry. Only an addict that was not thinking clearly would spend this kind of money on something so frivolous. A round of multiplayer provides the same high a person gets from scratching a lotto ticket, or putting money on a sports bet. MT in general need to really be regulated because you have a generation of kids becoming adults who grew up only knowing the MT era of gaming. Its normal to them and they will in turn teach their kids the same by just being a gaming parent and getting their kids involved with them in gaming. Thats why no matter how ridiculous the headlines keep getting out of the MT industry, it never seems to fade or go away.

X-2312d ago

I'm so tired of hearing about what they're doing with this game, its never going to change and it's never going to value the consumer over money, furthermore the people who engage so heavily in the microtransactions I guess allegedly are having a blast and can't wait to do it some more this year when the new version of the game drops.
