Major announcement from Infinity Ward coming Saturday |
Ó
Over at the official forums from Infinity Ward's web site, forum administrator fourzerotwo announced that they had something to announce this coming Saturday, April 28. While they've been extra careful not to spill any additional details by accident, they did mention that their announcement was big.
Especially when compared to a vaccine for yellow fever, we'll take his word on the essence of "major" in Infinity Ward's major announcement. Infinity Ward is best known for their successful rendering of the Call of Duty franchise, so we speculate something rather relative to it. Call of Duty 4, perhaps?
But with the likes of Medal of Honor, alternate 'verse Turning Point: Fall of Liberty, and RTS Company of Heroes, we're not sure if a new WWII shooter is going to cut the cake for Infinity Ward this time around. Hopefully though, they could go about creating a new BattleField 1942 since there's only one of those out there. Big word is, Call of Duty could be going modern...

There have been a number of rumours circulating for the past few months, implying that the next installment of Call Of Duty will be one set in the modern era. But as I said, these are just rumours.
It would be cool to have a Call Of Duty game set after WWII, maybe based on the Vietnam War or even the Gulf War. But I suppose none of these would really be 'modern'.
If the rumours are true, and it is a truly modern war, then it will most likely be entirely fictional.
Let's just wait and see what the announcement is..!
Sonny
Why go modern? there are plenty of modern shooters as well. Why not go older? go back to like, WW1 or something, ***** that hasnt been done yet. (done well anyway)
I believe IW has already confirmed that it isn't WW2. Not what it IS, just that it won't be WW2. Someone correct me if I'm wrong
I actually don't think I'll buy it if it's set in modern/futuristic times, just not as interesting as WW2
* Halo 3 will be humiliated first then trampled by Lair (cinema quality motion), Ratchet & Clank (Walt Disney meets Pixar), Warhawk (next-gen Unreal Tournament 3), Heavenly Word (next-gen God of War 3) and Killzone 2 (next-gen Half-Life 3). All these will be released in Jul to Sep. 2007.
* Halo 3 is NOT made from scratch. Halo 3 is an updated version of Halo 2 which was out in 2004 by using Renderware engine (confirmed fact; Bungie chose this method to save huge amount of development time and budget); therefore, Halo 3 is NOT a true next-gen title. Halo 3 can’t even use X360 console’s most power. Renderware is far inferior to other advanced engines such as, Source, Unreal, CryEngine, etc.
* This is why Crapalo (Halo) 3 looks like Halo 2.5 in terms of graphics and gameplay (NO breakable buildings or vegetation, NO deformable objects, NO soft shadows, NO facial-animation, NO depth-of-field, NO motion blur, etc). This new Halo 3 alpha footage looks crappy. There're alpha footages of Gears of War and Resistance available online, unless you are blind, you must realize the fact that alpha builds are 90% same as the final versions.
* Halo 3's world is as shinny (bright, flashy with HDR lighting effects) as the one in Perfect Dark Zero. PDZ was the best looking game when it was released in 2005. PDZ and Kameo were made by Rare which is a subsidiary of Microsoft Game Studios (MGS, not the Metal Gear Solid). MGS also owns FASA (which makes Shadowrun) and Bugie (Halo 3). All these companies share all kinds of technologies (DirectX based) which are used to make X360 games. This is the biggest reason why Shadowcrap, Perfect Dark Crap, Kameo and Halo 3 have extremely similar graphical quality (artistic design).
* Bungie's officially announced in Nov. 2006 that Gears of War has too much superior graphics to Halo 3's final (retail) version (GameSpot’s editor asked “What game has better graphics, GoW or Halo 3?). If you know the definition of ‘paraphrasing’, above statement means “Halo 3 will look very much inferior to GoW in the graphics department.
* Killzone 2 is built from scratch (true next-gen); therefore, KZ2 can use most potential power of PS3 hardware. Guerrilla which is a subsidiary of Sony has 120 employees (programmers and graphics designers). The total budget for KZ2 is $21 million (for your reference, Epic spent $10 m to make Gears of War with 90 devs).
* All Sony’s internal developers and Sony’s very close world class companies share all kinds of technologies which are used for making PS3 games (OpenGL based). These top developers are those companies which make games like: MotorStorm, Metal Gear Solid 4, Warhawk, Ratchet & Clank, Virtua Fighter 5, Resistance, Ninja Gaiden Sigma, White Knight Story, Tekken 6, Heavenly Sword, Gran Turismo 5, Final Fantasy XIII & versus XIII (FF7-Advent Children was awarded as the best CG movie of all time), Lair, Uncharted-Drake's Fortune, Eight Days, Getaway, God of War 3, Jak and Daxter, Heavy Rain, Afrika, Home, LittleBigPlanet , Monster Kingdom: Unknown Realm and of course Killzone 2.
* Polyphony’s Gran Turismo 4 on PS2 is world's most popular racing game in the entire gaming history based on the number of copies sold. GT HD (4.5) demo was released in 2006; all game reviewers were surprised that GT HD was just good (80/100) when they expected that this new GT must get review scores of 98/100 just like all of its predecessors. After this shock, Polyphony officially confirmed GH HD was an upgraded version of PS2's GT 4; that's why it looks just good. Polyphony later announced that they totally scraped the whole GT HD project and working on GT 5 entirely from scratch. Bungie must take a leaf out of Polyphony’s book; Bungie should scrap Halo 3 then make it from scratch then release it in 2010.
I'm sorry, but I missed the point where this started being about Halo 3 vs all the PS3 games that the fanboy just brought in.
And games don't have to have amazingly life-changing graphics to be successful.
Damn bud you really need to get a life, sounds like you're just scared of Halo
I have a PS3, and I love Sony, but I have to admit X-Box 360 has better graphics. Although, PS3 makes it up with further draw landscapes, and lack of pop-ups. But that being said, I really do envy the X-Box 360 graphics..!
(P.S, there is no point in fanboys posting comments, whether they are PS3 or X-Box 360 fanboys. Their comments just don't help anybody, we want hard facts, not kids trying to 'big-up' their own console..! Lol!
You posted this same crap a week ago. Get a life.
Why do you talk garbage?
Halo is pretty lame indeed. Especially for a DX10 game. Looks like DX8 graphics if you ask me! I mean come on! Far Cry was released back in 2004 and it looks twice as good as that piece of garbage.
