Infinity Ward made a lot of bold claims this year in the run up to Modern Warfare?s release. It?s a reboot of a classic favorite franchise, so it should feel fresh but nostalgic all the same. It?s darker and grittier than ever before, but also won?t be gratuitous. It utilizes new tech that doesn?t seem like it should be possible until next gen, yet it works on a standard launch PS4. For all of the pre-launch talk surrounding Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, it manages to coalesce when get your hands on the game.
I?m not going to dive into the all the new tech too deeply in this review, except to say that promises were kept and things shown behind closed doors previously work just as well now that they are in the light. For a more complete rundown of what?s going on under the hood, I covered Modern Warfare?s new tech extensively earlier this year, and it all holds up. In fact, now that I?ve seen it running on my own home launch PS4 multiple times (alpha, beta, and now release copy), I?m even more impressed. Yes, your launch PS4 isn?t going to look quite as good as if you had this running on a PS4 Pro, but it seems like Infinity Ward managed to squeeze out every last drop of graphical goodness that the PS4 has left. The studio easily put Modern Warfare on par with Sony exclusives in terms of the technical prowess powering the game. Guess it?s time for next-gen already, right"
