‘Call of Duty: Ghosts’ hopes to maintain 60 FPS on Xbox One and PS4 (Photos)

By David Stonecipher

Announced also on current systems, “Call of Duty: Ghosts” doesn’t want to disappoint players who play the game on next-generation consoles. Speaking to Digital Spy on May 30, Activision’s Daniel Suarez revealed some of the differences that will be present in the title which is set to span multiple console generations.

[GamersRulz]

Fish should move away @60 FPS or no buy for me.

[DoomeDx]

Man, the fish jokes are getting old by now imo.

[Salooh]

You kidding ? It's not only a joke. It's real. Current generation won't have moving fish. It's that lame. This is torture to them right now. Many fans in my country are being avoiding mentioning ghost . Why ?. Because they are a shamed , every time they say something we laugh at them xD .

6 people in my house loved cod . Now only 1 and he's my little brother(16 years old). He's kind of depressed though because of all of these jokes lol..

[Utalkin2me]

Ok, how about. My arm hair has to sway at 60fps, is that better?

[Wizziokid]

Like the COD franchise?

oh COD is also a fish ^^

[xHeavYx]

Fish jokes never get old

[VISUAL-ANT3]

so says Kayne West ... the ga... I mean "Happy" Fish

[metalgod88]

Why you gotta be all up in our gills man? Why not just like what you sea?

[JokesOnYou]

yeah you think COD gamers won't notice, COD has addictive gameplay, 60fps is a big part of that equation and that's why it sells= FUN, I love graphics just as much as the next guy but COD looks great although its not the best graphically that just 1 aspect of a game. More importantly never underestimate the power of just being fun. I see the tears from COD haters and I just laugh wondering why you guys bother, those who love it don't care and while you guys waste your time crying, the devs are collecting $$ and the gamers who love COD are having fun.

[HammadTheBeast]

^ You're buying the same crap every year.

Jokes on you.

[JokesOnYou]

I buy what I like, had countless hours of fun with good friends playing every COD released, not going to stop just because YOU say its crap, I also bought many others shooters including BF, I don't hate it I just ended up always playing COD waaaay more, my friends too so this time I'll probably only play the next BF4 at whichever one of my friends house who gets it or borrow it just to check it out (shooters are my favorite) unfortunately I just don't play it enough to justify the purchase but hell yeah, call it what you want I'll be playing COD Ghosts day 1.

[Maddens Raiders]

..
yeah but most of the people playing this multi-trash wouldn't know the difference and couldn't care less.

[JeffGUNZ]

Really? That's why a lot of people choose it over other war FPS. They might not know the name and technicalities, but they will notice the game play is not the same feel. I for one would be hesitant to buy it if they can't do 60FPS on a mocked up next gen engine. To be honest, I am liking what I see from Destiny and I think respawns game will be the next COD in popularity.

[liquidhalos]

People are too focused on the fish and dog crap and for some reason are letting a huge part of this story slip right past them.

This is next gen, this is what devs and gamers have wanted for a long time. And this is what lazy cod has to say.

"‘Call of Duty: Ghosts’ hopes to maintain 60 FPS on Xbox One and PS4"

The keyword there folks is "Hopes" Cod devs are so lazy that even with a new engine on a new generation of easier to develop for consoles they still cant offer us decent FPS...

[solar]

Supercharged PC

[Triforce079]

Well if wiiu doesnt run at 60fps i will just play Mariokart and retro's game end of i will not buy COD on wiiu if they claim it can't hit 60fps on that ancient engine.

[Morgue]

That dog should be running pretty fast when fetching that stick I throw and I can't wait to see him eating treats @ 60fps

[ChiaPet]

I wonder if you can play as the dog in first person and catch fish in the river

[MYSTERIO360]

All i know is Activision has no excuse to mess up the PS4 version

[donman1]

60 FPS shouldn't be a problem since they are using the same tired engine just tweaked.

[Ashunderfire86]

Which such an old engine hell yeah these systems can run a turd like this.

[Sono421]

um... it's a new engine... Do you not notice the difference? Lets not be ignorant now.. I mean yeah I realize hating on cod is the "cool" thing to do here on N4G but let's not start skewing facts in the process.

[Smelly1sam]

/s I hope? Also it is not even a new engine it is still a modified version of quake.

[Lanceo9]

Its still the Quake engine.

[Ashunderfire86]

#Sono421

Like Smelly1sam said, it is still a modified version of quake. Watch here:

Are those facts for you? I am telling it like it is. This engine has been around since 1999.

They should also give us a better example than this:

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

[JustinXlisinski]

If you know anything about COD you would know that its NOT a new engine, its the same but upgraded...

[Sono421]

I'm simply restating what was said in the reveal...

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

@ 1:46 "and this is powered by a new next-gen engine" - Direct quote

[KillrateOmega]

Hopes? It's being released for next-gen systems! And 60fps has always been one of CoD's biggest selling points!

How hard can it be?

[JsonHenry]

The video card in the systems are kind of under-powered. That is how. Throw all the RAM you want at it but it is still the video card that needs to be beefed up.

The video cards are certainly more powerful than current gen. But When ActiBlizz just wants to put in higher rez textures/run at a higher native rez without spending the time and money optimizing it they might sacrifice 60fps for a quick turnover on their investment.

[Utalkin2me]

Thats interesting, what i got from you was...Blah, blah.....blah blah blah, blah.....blah.

[PiTCHBLaCK]

Weird, and speaking of COD...I Pictured the Dog Snoopy in Charlie brown....Blah blah blah..LOL. But then again I'm half asleep.

[liquidhalos]

What a load of rubbish, your talking hardware like its going into a pc. It isnt, its going into a console, chalk and cheese hombre.

[JustinXlisinski]

Every year these stupid articles say the same thing to get your attention... you think people would fucking learn by now that articles don't know shit

[elhebbo16]

They could maintain 60fps with those advance AI fishies? Amazing /s

[PiTCHBLaCK]

Lets see you do that!....I think That's Impressive!.../s

[Shadonic]

I belive half life did it with Roaches plus was sAI there far more advanced then the fishes.

[yugovega]

wow hoping they can keep up with last gen by doing what they have been doing just with more powerful systems. hmm maybe that's why they just got the fish a.i. working right. they are a few gens behind.

[lociefer]

i just hope they dont forget to add the textures for the dog

[PiTCHBLaCK]

Hope he is potty trained.

[MajorLazer]

I want to teach him tricks!

[linkenski]

Judging by these screenshots even Crysis 3 looks better and i expected next-gen consoles to at least be able to run that game @60fps in 1080p

[DoomeDx]

''Even Crysis 3''

What!? EVEN crysis 3 looks better then CoD?

[m2stech]

It's running on MW3's IW4 engine, so it shouldnt be hard at all!

[JeffGUNZ]

I couldn't believe they just tweaked the engine for next gen. instead of building in from the ground up.

[fsfsxii]

No kidding...
Thats whats good about COD, or at least i think that

[MilkMan]

"HOPES?!"
WTF!

[6DEAD6END6]

Well it better be true 1080p at 60fps and not upscaled.

[Oldman100]

We would have a very sad situation on our hands if it isn't. If worse comes to worst I would like them to tone down the advanced fish AI just a tad so they can achieve it. Having the fish just stay in one spot wouldn't bother me at all.

[6DEAD6END6]

Damn fish over taking all the graphics and fps lol.

[sashimi]

Well what with the next-gen fish ai and textured dog that'll be hogging all the resources i'm sure it'll be difficult to hit 60fps lol

[PiTCHBLaCK]

That's a lot of fish.../s

[KontryBoy706]

I hope they would to with a "SLIGHTLY" more enhanced Quake engine that a laptop can run

[OwNizzleD]

Hope they have enough power left for AA on the dirt under my fingernails...

[PANTHER1030]

The same game of every year,with the same engine, animations and graphics. Why am I not surprised?. But I like the dog.

[esemce]

The best thing about COD is that it runs at 60fps, the next gen versions have to be 60fps as people expect it and are used to it.

[Ninjamonkey82]

Seriously don't care we all know its the cod franchise and all they have done threw out is screw over every gamer that is not a xbox gamer.

I'm for betting even on there new so called next gen quake 2 engine with fish they still won't maintain 60fps on the ps4 and will on xbone and that's just because off the nature off the company and that little extra cash flowing there direction.

IF your stupid enough as a PlayStation owner to pick up there games then you deserve the treatment end off the day. For me I'm going for games that make the next gen console look good. That's diffidently not the next COD game.

[quenomamen]

Could not agree more, i learned my lesson after the travesty known as Wack Ops 1 on PS3. Screwed up part is MS even came out and said it would run better on 360 months before release, yet all the PS3 owners where butt hurt when it did. Couple of my friends even went out and bought 360s just to play COD, lol i told them they where effin nuts.
In case you guys haven't already read the writing on the wall let me read it for you,

COD has been bought and paid for by MS to be gimped on Sonys consoles, wake the eff up.

[Belking]

"COD has been bought and paid for by MS to be gimped on Sonys consoles, wake the eff up."

Fanboy hate statement...lol

[SpinalRemains]

It won't matter if it runs @ 20 fps.

It will sell millions upon millions because gamers are looking to get that same chemical reaction in their brain and high they got, the first time they played it for months and loved it. That feeling has not not been repeated, but the gamers are like crackheads chasing that good feeling.

All the makers know this. It has less to do with digital content and more to do with neurological brain functions.

Truth

[quenomamen]

" doesn’t want to disappoint players who play the game on next-generation consoles. "

Too late dude, Call it Doodie has been a disappointment since MW2.

[PigPen]

For next gen consoles it should be 1080p at 60fps.

[ZitterZap]

Of Course it would be impressive if they can do it with that graphics on the 360 and PS3 too

[turgore]

If it won't be able to do it at 60fps it is quite pathetic.

[urwifeminder]

720p again for consoles lmao half an AA.

[bobacdigital]

360 / PS3 were able to run the previous iterations at 60fps with lower textures and resolution.

Blackops 2 (varying degrees of AA)
360 - 880x720
PS3 - 880x720 with resolution scaling to 832x624 in some areas.

Based on what the previous consoles did with Blackops 2 the PS4 and x1 should be able to run the new iteration of COD at 1280 by 720 with higher textures and better AA @ 60 fps easily. One thing they werent clear on and didnt mention was if they were trying to do 1080 @ 60 fps which should really be their target..

Most 360 and ps3 games werent true 720 or 1080 ... they were upscaled from 540/640p to 720 and above .. even then it was 720p it was 880 by 720 it wasnt 1280 by 720...

NEXT GEN at the min should be expected to do the following.
1280 by 720 @ 30fps and or 60fps
4x AA and 4x AF...

Most decent gaming laptops can do that already and this should be the norm for these consoles at the bare min.

I personally dont see COD on ps4 / x1 running at native 1080p @ 60 fps with 4x AA / AF unless they decide to nerf texture quality and eye candy.

[Skynetone]

NEXT GEN at the min should be expected to do the following.
1280 by 720 @ 30fps and or 60fps
4x AA and 4x AF...

I think your underestimating the power of the ps4, its the equivalent of a gtx 580

852x480-----16:9
1280x720-----16:9
1365x768-----16:9
1600x900-----16:9
1920x1080-----16:9

640x480-----4:3
800x600-----4:3
1024x768-----4:3
1152x864-----4:3
1280x960-----4:3
1400x1050-----4:3
1600x1200-----4:3
2048x1536-----4:3
3200x2400-----4:3
4000x3000-----4:3
6400x4800-----4:3

most youtube vids have it playing well with modern games, once the first batch of games are out, and developers are familiar with the ps4, I expect the min to be atleast 1600x900 at 30fps or atleast 1280x960

[bobacdigital]

I think they are going to stick to 720 / 1080 only because most TVs native resolutions are going to be at those aspect ratios.. Picture quality is at its best when a game is performing at the native resolution of the TV and or monitor.

I think a developer would rather do 1280 by 720 and squeeze in more AA, AF, and whatever other eye candy they want rather than going to a higher resolution and lower those settings.

Higher resolution doesn't always mean better looking games.. You lose various things like AA, AF, and Texture quality when you move the resolution up to keep your FPS at a stable rate.

[PurpHerbison]

Best part about COD is usually you can get fanboys to come together and bash it collectively. It's almost like a mutual agreement across the board to not like COD.

[Nevers0ft]

I hope the cutting-edge fish technology "scales" to the Wii U.

(ok screw you guys, I'll get my coat)

[RegorL]

"Call of Duty: Ghosts’ hopes to maintain 60 FPS on Xbox One and PS4"

Equals: No hope that 60 FPS can be maintained for Xbox 360 and PS3

or, will they scale down graphics a lot on those?
or, will they soon say that "update frequency does not really matter,
it is fast phased game play that matters"?

Can become an interesting competition situation on those platforms.

[JustinXlisinski]

Call of duty is like EA sports games, they come out with a game every year, yet all you idiots expect it to be 10x's better than the last one! How come you retards dont complain about the EA Sports games not getting way better every year?
The only way COD is going to get better is if tryarch and infinity ward work together building a new engine for 2-3 years then make a new game,then they will earn there respect back.

[GezForce]

They might be having trouble with the xboxones weaker hardware... hope doesn't effect PS4 version.

*dance puppets dance!* XD

[vigilante_man]

A strong single player experience with an actual story would be nice!

[ghostrider32]

As usual. COD is #1 for hated my many but sells well anyway. Pretty funny.

[vigilante_man]

Not hated. You pays your money, you takes your choice.

Bought MW2 and traded in after a week and spent money on Uncharted 2. Best trade-in ever for me.

But many people love the on-line. I just thought the single-player sucked.

[DeathJag]

Their old COD2 engine should have no trouble on that hardware.
