I am still baffled at how they couldnt have made the graphics any better from the previous games. We have engines like the Cryengine and Frostbite 2, yet they still manage to make their games still look like cartoons?
Wait, what.
The game looked a lot more detailed in the trailer so far. And this is coming from a guy who has
heavily criticized the game's appearance considering MW3 was literally just a stuff ton of optimization to handle larger scenes (i.e. NYC) and a few bells n whistles in terms of lighting/shadows.
The game is confirmed to use DX11 and the engine "update" (god knows which version of the same engine this is though. It's like how Portal 2 still operates on Source except it doesn't suck as much) looks like it added a bit more flare and lighting improvements.
didn't someone say that consoles were holding the gaming industry back?
Oh, yeah definitely. As long as a game markets on consoles it will be held back in graphics because the Xbox 360 and PS3 are using heavily outdated hardware. VERY outdated hardware. Hell, the next Xbox is supposed to use a variant of an AMD HD 6000 series video chip, which is already pretty outdated (for reference, the current series of AMD GPUs is the HD 7000 series).
