Infinity Ward: Modern Warfare Pushes Xbox 360 To Its Upper Limits

Pretty interesting, thoughts?

I would say a game like Forza 3 running at 60 FPS and 1080P would push it more than MW2....but what doI know

still Gears2 and RE5 look better than MW2 graphics wise

I'm sure every developer tries to get the most out of the system when making a game..Couth_

Epic said the same thing after Gears of War was released.

Surprise, surprise, Gears of War 2 (as well as several other games) looked better.

Like i've said before, with roughly 7 lines of code, i can write a routine that will bring any CPU to its knees. is that indicative of the power of the cpu, or the "greatness" my "program"? No, it just means that its code that should be tweaked.

It could be true. But it just means that they need to do some tweaking.

idk I don't see it but like I said I know nothing about game development lol

Ohh same thing was said about Red Faction, same thing was said when gears of war came out, same thing was said about modern warfare, and same thing will be said next year and the Xbox 360 versions will still be better.

1. They are dev's who have had priorexperience workingwith xbox360 and Ps3 hardware...and have produced top teir games in graphcisfor those consoles.

2. They didn't mention the PS3 so no relationship can really be drawn form what they say about the 360 to compaire with.

3. Since they are experience with the hardware and have produced one of the more impressive games of the generation for the time on both PS3 and xbox360 (COD4) they have more credibility in what they say than would a dev with no prior experience with the console or a dev who didn't create anything particually impressive.

So in conclusive I'll say...it's very interesting, but nothing can be made of this unless they reveal how their code on PS3 is handled.

It's not always about looking better. It could be action, more enemies on screen, explosions, lighting and particle effects that use up a systems hardwareCouth_

Modern Warfare 3 PS3 exclusive? Probably not, but it makes you think...coakroachv2

Forza 3 is technically a far superior game due to its amazing near-lifelike visuals, 1080p, and 60fps. If anything pushes the 360, it's that, not Modern Warfare 1.5.

i always believe that when a dev comes out claiming 'i pushed system X to its limits' he is probably saying, 'we pushed our intelligence & programming skills to the limits', cause a couple of months later another game always comes out which is equal if not superior on the same hardware...

Nah, Modern Warfare 2 is very scripted in its events. A much lesser technological achievement.

Its funny how many devs claim that (on Xbox 360 & PS3) and the graphics still improve :D

Who cares? It's not like graphics on a console are all of a sudden going to exponentially grow. Unless you can add new hardware to the system not much is going to change.

I heard that Tekken6 was supposed to push 360 to its limits aswell. Well, the fact is that no game will ever do that to any console until the gen is over. Theres allways ways to make it even better....

and the graphically better 360 version ;)

So this is the weak come back to my thread about Crytek pushing the ps3 to its limits? lolVitunLehmat

Pushing the Xbox to its limits? Well that is not very far! lol

[QUOTE="VitunLehmat"]So this is the weak come back to my thread about Crytek pushing the ps3 to its limits? lolnervmeister

It pushes it to it's limits until the next programming breakthough comes along.Why haven't we all learned this yet?

all most five years into the cycle of course, Isn't it odd MW2 argueable one of the better looking games is comming out after all the devs that said their game pushed the 360 to its limits?

There's better looking games on the 360 than MW2, so they're just covering their butts if it flops.

Definitely won't happen.

Besides, I doubt MW2 truly pushes the 360 to its limits. We keep hearing that every gen, for every console. Yet, we still see large improvements by the end of the generation.
