Call of Duty: Ghosts does NOT have a new engine

Quote :

Call of Duty: Ghosts was shown at Microsoft’s Xbox One reveal on Tuesday, and with it, speculation of a new game engine followed. It’s not an entirely new engine, Infinity Ward’s animation lead Zach Volker has confirmed, but it has seen significant upgrades.

If you haven’t seen the game running yet, you can check out our trailer coverage here first.

Speaking with OPM, Volker said of the Ghosts engine, “When we’re talking about a new engine we’re talking about upgrading significant systems within in that engine. We’re not talking about throwing it all away and saying we’re starting from the ground up”.

Volker added that it would be “impossible to develop a new engine from the ground up in a two year cycle,” and added, “What we do is we say, ‘okay what are the things that are significant and that we would say that are encompassing of the engine or its visual quality? Are those being upgraded in a significant way? Alright, then I think that warrants that we’ve got a new engine on our hands”.

So it’s not new-new but new-enhanced. Do you see?

What do you make of the above? Did the Ghosts footage on Xbox One look good regardless of a totally new engine? Let us know below.

Dick move.
If it looks significantly better I'm fine with it, but a lie is a lie.

Not only did they shamelessly lie about it these pretty faces are also had the marker "Activision R&D. Property of Activision Publishing. Not Actual Gameplay" That means that the game engine doesn't actually generate it to look like that.

Call of Duty: Ghost confirmed for same shit.

So obvious, the game looked like a current gen game at the Xbox event. "Look, when you swim toward fish, they move out of your way". This is next gen.

Yes. And the same could be said for Frostbite and the Halo engine. They never scrap everything.

With that said, COD: Ghost failed to impress.

It didn't look much better than BO2. It's not the graphical leap you'd expect or hope for. But as Alan said, this isn't a new practice. Still looks like a cool game.

You must be blind not to notice the differences they made with those engines...

Cod hasn't changed its look since MW2...

I wasn't talking about improvements in graphics, at least specifically. Both Frostbite 3 and the latest version of the Halo engine have code dating back to their original version.

not quite on topic, but still pretty funny
