@NIGHTIGERX Its actually Quake 3 engine. Infinity Ward (back then was called 2013) rebuilt the engine for MoH Allied Assault when they were with EA. They took that rebuilt engine and rebuild it again for the first CoD. And they've been rebuilding for each game. so yeah its older than you think. And with that information, you would feel like punching Activision in the face for not allowing the teams to build a new engine from scratch
@LeMeAtOm Their partner is the US military and their scheme is to help US soldiers that are suddenly unfit for duty...I don't see what the problem is.....although it maybe because Im from a country where the government just says "Our soldiers are trained to handle any situation" when all they really do is sit in camp in a paid holiday to austrailia
Everytime I see people that say that this is a portal rip-off or spin off I give myself a huge facepalm....It cannot be a rip off if she is the one that lead the team for portal and the creator of its predecessor, narbacular drop.....neither can it be a spin off if it is not from the same universe
@emptycow Thats true, no game can compare to LA noire in that....but you have to understand that LA Noire uses a very different facial animation system. Instead of tracking individual parts of the face, it tracks the entire face, pixel by pixel which means the 3d model itself is scanned in not moddelled.... there are many downfalls for that animation tech which is why no other games are using it yet.
For this game, they are using more of a "traditional" animation. tracking each spot on the face. This isn't as accurate as face tracking but it does give the artists freedom to tweak the animation in case they dont feel that the actor is giving enough of the emotion or the proportions of the actor and the 3d model is different.
Comparing this to a game like max payne, which is considered to have very good animation, this is beyond anything else
wow this looks great....like a combination of assasins creed, GTA 4, Syndicate and Max Payne (for some reason) this looks like a truely open world game
Hope that they do polish this game.....the first game had so much potential but the gameplay was often ruined by the scripted events and some parts were almost impossible to pass, if you dont die your AI partner does and you have to restart it again......the story too was ruined by the voice acting.... just horrible
