Speaking with IGN, Activision Publishing's CEO, Eric Hirshberg, confirmed Sledgehammer's upcoming Call of Duty game is being developed primarily for next-gen platforms. The news came after last week's earnings call, during which Activision revealed that Sledgehammer was developing 2014's Call of Duty game.
"Sledgehammer is approaching this as a next-gen-first development," says Hirshberg. "Obviously in the console-transition year, anyone who developed a cross-generational game last year had to deal with the fact that the technology of the next-gen platforms was still coming into focus and changing quite a bit during the development process…. Now that we have the next-gen hardware out in the marketplace and solid, that is our primary development."
Details are still scarce on how the title will take advantage of the new platforms, but solving those issues is partly why Activision has brought in Sledgehammer and moved Treyarch and Infinity Ward to three-year development schedules. Hirshberg explains, "On the two-year cycle, with the level of content we were putting in the games, it became a real horse race each and every time to get everything done that we wanted to get done. With next-gen hardware, Hirshberg coninues, "we've got more capabilities than ever before to play with and we want to make sure our developers have the time to innovate, iterate, to bring the best creative vision and the most possible polish to each and every game."
Activision expects Sledgehammer's Call of Duty to be different from what's been offered by Infinity Ward and Treyarch. "We give each of our studios a lot of independence," he says. Seeing the work Sledgehammer did helping Infinity Ward with Modern Warfare 3, Activision's message to the new studio is "You know what makes this thing great; now go do it your way." Unfortunately, Activision isn't quite ready to talk specifically about what Sledgehammer's Call of Duty will be like, only saying, "the proof will be in the pudding," adding, "When you see it, hopefully, you'll see what I'm talking about."
Hirshberg also assures fans worried about the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions that 2014's Call of Duty "will also be a great current-gen game." The publisher recognizes 2014 as a continuation of last year's console transition. "There are still a lot of people playing on current gen," says Hirshberg "and we want to deliver a great experience for them as well. But it will be a next-gen-first production and the current-gen game will be a version of that."

Expecting a continuation of Resnov in some ethereal ghost form while youth elixir junkie Captain Price goes in another jungle/city/inhospitable environment/gulag to revive the body of Soap and save the world from Russians for the 5th time.
New improvements? Variable velocity of bullets when striking wood and an all new quick turn button.
The game needs more cleavage reveal.

I hope they add in a feature that shows the exact address of everybody in the lobby so when a fat kid sits in a corner with 4 shotguns in each hand and a heartbeat sensor I can take out my insane frustrations on him in real life
Would eradicate campers
How did i not see that
Keeping the thread in my name.

Looks like the preposterous Halo franchise agglutinated with the abominable debacle that is Black Ops.
It kinda does. They are going towards Sci fi path as they tried it with Ghosts a bit.
Maybe they are trying to challenge Destiny as they would be released around the same time.

Why is Frank Underwood in there?

It's obvious COD needed a major change. Even some fanboys were losing interest. So jumping forward in time as opposed to re-hashing a world war (the most over-used setting for anything, ever) is a decent move.

Inb4 20m sales just so just netflix subscribers can hear Spacey speak to them while they shoot things.
Destiny is most likely my FPS to play this year. However as I said before, if the new COD gets 9+ by majority of the reviews then I will try it.
The trailer doesn't seem WOW ZOMG type and the best way to judge it will be the actual gameplay of it. Maybe at E3.
Gonna definitely be buying destiny. If we all have and *bleep* USE OUR *bleep* MICS, we'll have a good laugh.
MW2 was by far the most gratifying and piquant COD game, that enraptured the inhabitants of the gaming macrocosm. It's confounding how they haven't even purloined any of the bewitching lineaments of such a cogent triumph, that is MW2.

About time they move on from the whole US vs Russia, world war etc.
Inspired by Titanfall imo
I'll wait till they reveal the MP trailer to see if it's worth buying it. Couldn't care less about SP.
by M99 on Fri May 02, 2014 6:04 pm
Ghosts was USA vs South America
mw2 & 3 was US vs Russia
