Activision's shooter will be released for Sony's next-gen console - it has no new graphics engine.
Call of Duty: Ghosts is developed by Infinity Ward and two other Activision teams: Raven Software and Neversoft, according to a tweet from Infinity Ward. The creator of the Modern Warfare series also announced that the shooter will be available for PS4, and here's the tweet which confirms that.
Activision said at Microsoft’s Xbox One reveal on Tuesday that Call of Duty: Ghosts has a next-gen engine - but it only seems to be an updated version of the old one.
Infinity Ward’s animation lead Zach Volker announced that the game will not have a new engine, but it has seen significant upgrades. “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 said that it would be impossible to develop a new engine from the ground up in a two year cycle: “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.”
