Modern Warfare 3 with maxed out graphics using downsampling

This is how Modern Warfare 3 looks like with ingame maxed out graphics and a downsampling resolution of 3.840 x 2.160 (output: 1.600 x 900). You won't find a better image quality of the latest Call of Duty.

To the CoD Fanboys that disagree with me, maybe you should actually look at the screens first and then hold your head in shame... The quality when up close should NOT be this horrible, it's called "Old Enginitis", and MW3 surfers from a bad case of it.

its not bad considering its a console port

like a ultra bright dx9 game.

It's always a broken German website, never Scandinavian, or French heck or even Nigerian, but German.

Kamikaze1354955d ago

You would think they would try to at least get the graphics to 2009 standard.

KingPin4955d ago

why would they wanna even try. this game, as shitty as it looks, is selling millions as we speak.

that is the power of good advertising.

BF3 will be getting my cash though

RedDead4955d ago

This is the power of a brand name...nothing more

DeadManMcCarthy4955d ago

exactly, the morons will still buy it even if it looks like cs 1.6.

atkecar14955d ago

And all off you play it on console.Right? Because on PC on EKSTRA setings and FULL HD(you know what is it full HD right?) looks Excellent.. So shut the fu*k up you console people that you play games on 6 years old machine. Exceptions Unchated series and God of War 3,and Metal gear solid 4...Cheears

mendicant4955d ago

It looks fine, stop acting like it's unplayable.

They have done a really good job of pushing their engine. Having an engine that you know well that you can really get some power out of is better than starting from scratch. This is why the best looking games tend to come out at the end of a consoles life cycle, not the start.

A bunch of drama queens on this site.

hiredhelp4955d ago

Are you frikken serious mendicant.?

mendicant4955d ago (Edited 4955d ago )

Yes I'm absolutely serious. Graphics are WAY overblown this generation. This blows that out of the water, that blows this out of the water. It's the same lame, crap arguments over and over. I'm playing on a 40" Sony Bravia EX70 and it looks great. Solid frame rate, cool graphics. I do wish they had better weapon sounds, especially compared to Battlefield 3.

The fact is that it's rare to find a current gen console game that looks straight up bad. Most are serviceable if not really good with some in the upper deck-and even then, the differences between them are small.

I blame younger gamers who didn't watch the industry grow and change so they don't have anything to compare it to or have the ability to appreciate what they have now.

That and ps3 fanboys.

swinesucker4955d ago (Edited 4955d ago )

Game looks straight up bad sometimes. KZ3 does more for me design wise and I'm on on a pc rig at 1920 1080 as well.

hiredhelp4955d ago (Edited 4955d ago )

Have you stoped to even realise why the frame rate is farely consistant.
Theres no real phyisx , all viechles are stationary cant be driven.maps are scaled down lower textures help with this lack of lighting shadows.

Its washed out as a old retro gamer i have followed threw.
And this gen has taught me one thing younger generations kids are smater in gameplay wise but lack whats going on in the background of gaming corp's. That them taken advantage of these kids that buy DLC pay the riasing prices.
Except that games come out with fixes needed.
Its a generation of greed and everything now.

mcstorm4955d ago

I have to agree with you I dont think the game looks as bad as people are making out. I am not a fan of COD games but just because your not a fan of something it dose not mean it dose not look nice.

I am by no means a fan of apple but I still think there products look nice.

Modern Warfare 3 flooded with cheaters after arrival on Xbox Game Pass

Players are using hacks to gain an advantage in the game, such as aimbots and wall hacks. The first gives a player superhuman aiming abilities, while a wall hack lets you see through walls to gauge where other players are.

“These hacks are typically used by PC players, but those playing on PC via Xbox Game Pass are identified as Xbox players in multiplayer lobbies.”

This is pretty dumb to say the least.

Cacabunga306d ago

All about them headshots for Xbox

badz149307d ago

Gotta pump those numbers up

blackblades306d ago

That's a WTF, they suppose to be labeled as pc users even if its on PC game pass. They mess that up big time.

XiNatsuDragnel307d ago

Oh bad this will be entertaining to watch

ZycoFox306d ago

If AI keeps getting better (and it will) it's just a matter of time before there's more sophisticated cheats even for consoles, and they wouldn't even need to be running on it, I have little doubt about that.

lelo2play307d ago

Don't Gamepass online games have anti-cheat systems?
If not, that's pretty dumb. Microsoft need to fix that asap.

Rynxie307d ago (Edited 307d ago )

They won't ever fix this problem, unless they (developers, publishers, Sony and MS) go after the cheat providers directly. You no longer need to hack consoles to use hacks. During the ps360 days, they were going after cheat devices, but it was a cat and mouse game. These cheating methods were around during those days, it's nothing new, but they kept it under control. Since the PS4/Xbox one generation, they stopped going after these cheating devices and it became widespread. Which I find odd, since they started charging for online play (PS4).

StormSnooper306d ago (Edited 306d ago )

Possibly, this is because the companies were going after cheats because the same cheats were being used to pirate the games, whereas today, the companies use online verification to prevent piracy, thus eliminating the need to go after people who cheat only to gain an advantage in the game. As long as the cheater remains below the radar, and does not completely break the game, the companies look the other way as their wallets are not threatened by it. (that is my completely Uneducated opinion on the matter)

pwnmaster3000307d ago

I mean, COD games was always filled with hackers, nothing new. I can’t blame MS on this. Activision had years to try and fix this. Might take MS some time to make some change.

Rude-ro306d ago

It all depends…
Microsoft’s guidance on how to handle gamepass on pc and their love to force crossplay with pc seems like a them issue.
And they own activision, so it is still a them issue.

StormSnooper306d ago

lol well that sucks.

Is there a reason this happened upon arrival on xbox?

Activision Reportedly Sold An AI-Generated Skin In Call Of Duty

The Yokai's Wrath bundle was released despite previous guarantees by Activision that A.I. would not be used for final assets, per the report. Instead, Activision assured developers it was simply for internal concepts. That, of course, was not followed through. For what it's worth, per the PlayStation Store, 2,400 COD Points cost $19.99, meaning players potentially spent real-life money on a skin that was not created by an actual human.

As far as A.I. use goes across Activision, a source told Wired that 2D artists are utilizing A.I. to aid their work. That is a result of mass layoffs, in which many 2D artists were impacted. “A lot of 2D artists were laid off,” the source named Noah said. “Remaining concept artists were then forced to use A.I. to aid in their work.” Mandatory A.I. trainings have been implemented, according to Noah.

I mean, is this even surprising?

just_looken309d ago

It is not ubisoft has a ai tool for crating stories/script's they even talked about npc's having there own ai speech like we see with those skyrim mods.

Ai is the future sadly which sucks in so many way's.

S2Killinit309d ago (Edited 309d ago )

Activision. And MS. They will ruin console gaming forever.

Oh and where the FRIGGIN outrage people? When Sony makes a remaster of a masterpiece single player story driven game, they get roasted. But this, this, goes unnoticed? Then don’t complain that you aren’t getting enough single player story games.

just_looken309d ago

Ea and ubisoft also use ai

ea using ai for development threatening mass layoffs.
https://www.pcmag.com/news/...

ubisoft ai for npc speech
https://www.theverge.com/20...

Almost every big boy in the industry is using ai in some sort of way now

Oh and sony? well they are making spyware ai were they can see how long it took you to do X and adjust difficultly.

Wow this site every time you say the S word or P word they dive in defend there god its beyond nuts

I said "they are making"

You know a term that means its not out yet ffs

S2Killinit309d ago (Edited 309d ago )

How is that a response to what I said? Are they also selling AI generated skins?

@S2Killinit

You never mentioned skins in your comment just stated its all microsoft's fault like so many others.

When like i showed they are late to the ball game as every other company is using or plans to use ai in various field.

If you combine everything then its getting closer to hitting a button and poof out comes a game no soul no passion nothing.

Right now its art/3d models/skins/writing/voice work some and coding can all be done via ai.

S2Killinit309d ago (Edited 309d ago )

That was the whole point of my comment, I wrote it in response to the article. Instead of focusing on making exciting games and developing talented developers, they are busy making AI generated skins that people are buying for huge sums of money. Then, some people turn around and shit on Sony when it tries to capitalize on single player classics by making remasters, and the same people then complain that they want more single player games. MS cannabalized the industry because they never thought making games was essential to their business. So, instead of nurturing theor own studios, they let them die, then went and shrunk the industry, hurting interests of every gamer in the world. Anytime there is a bad trend in the industry, MS is at the helm, leading the way. That is what I’m saying.

smashman98309d ago

I'm sorry but do you honestly believe Sony will sit out of A.I. Every executive at every one of these publishers is wetting themselves in delight at the prospect of A.I. You best believe that once we start seeing it spread throughout the industry Sony won't be too far behind. The only people we'll have to blame are the consumers themselves.

S2Killinit309d ago (Edited 309d ago )

No, I don't believe that Sony will not do the same. But, as I mentioned, MS is always the first to embrace such things and create the worst trends. Once they establish that this is the best way to make money, everyone else will follow. (Have to follow if they want to stay competitive)

thesoftware730308d ago

S2, and blackblades:

All from the Horse's mouth below.

"Artificial intelligence (AI) in video games is crucial for Gen Z and Gen Alpha, who seek “personalization across everything,” says PlayStation executive Asad Qizilbash."

“Advancements in AI will create more personalized experiences and meaningful stories for consumers.”

"He emphasized that AI could enable non-player characters to interact with players based on their actions, enhancing the personal connection within the game."

Yeah, Just MS and Activision...smh

S2Killinit308d ago

I’ve already explained myself twice. Quit your false equivalence, same thing the xbox fateful pulled before and after the ABK acquisitions. Which by the way, blew up in your faces real good. Now, doing the same thing when someone brings up MS’s nefarious behavior, defend them to the end, and watch them scorch gaming as they have been. At least rest of us can take consolation in that the smoke will go in your eyes before anyone else’s.

thesoftware730308d ago (Edited 308d ago )

"Quit your false equivalence, same thing the xbox fateful pulled before and after the ABK acquisitions. Which by the way, blew up in your faces real good."

I'm not sure what you are talking about, you seem to have a issue communicating, because we are on a post about using AI to create video games content, and you put that solely at the feet of MS and Activision, when it's being, and will be used industry wide, right from Sony mouth, I would say it's relevant...then you went on to give Sony a spit shine slob down about a masterpiece TLoU when this had absolutely nothing to do with Sony or TLoU, then you attempted to clean up your rambling spit shine with no real backing for a ridiculous comment.

Obviously you meant to post that nonsensical over exaggerated comment. I also don't know what blew up in people faces, I am perfectly fine with the game industry, I don't have time to be internet outraged about nothingness.

Really read your comment and listen to what you said.

"Activision. And MS. They will ruin console gaming forever."

Bro, for real? Really? Seriously? It's that serious? So there is nothing Sony and Nintendo can do against MS and Activision? MS is 3rd place with you even talking about?

If we stay relevant on MTX, then you still sound ridiculous because again, you lay it all at MS and Activision's feet when almost all companies have used some form of MTX, including yup... Sony.

S2Killinit304d ago

I read this comment, it boiled down to “seeiously?”.

My answer: yes seriously. Since you didn’t say anything else, what else can I tell you? Yes MS is seriously ruining gaming. They have been for some time, and working their way to where we are today, and aren’t even done yet. MS are the worst thing to happen to console gaming.

"The Yokai's Wrath bundle was released despite previous guarantees by Activision that A.I. would not be used for final assets, per the report."

We're talking concept art? Because as of right now there's no way to generate a final 3D model with final textures. So the final assets don't use AI. That's not to say that it sucks for 2D artist that it's easier to generate visual ideas and build from them leading to less 2D artists needed (really sucks), but are they say the final concept art was completely AI generated and then 3D artists built from that? And yes, I'll pile on that Activision as a publisher and their developers I have experience with suck and they'll do whatever, ethics be damned.

OldDuffer308d ago

Thats actually a very useful and informative piece, thank you.

just_looken308d ago

@OldDuffer

Your welcome though it seems it went over many users heads.

PapaBop309d ago

Wow I can just imagine the likes of Activision, EA and Ubi etc having an army of AIs creating overpriced crap and the fanboys just lapping it up. I hope the AIs have a good union.

montebristo309d ago

I understand why people think it’s good idea to Unionize to fight back against such things but it’s not. It’s a bad idea. It’s activisions wet dream to have these pumped out weekly by some AI. Protect your neck!
