- Опубликовано: 1 авг 2024
- The complete tech breakdown of Infinity Ward's much-awaited follow-up. Sporting an upgraded IW 9 engine, all consoles get a strong workout in the new campaign mode - with the Amsterdam stage being a big highlight. In fact we loved it so much we put together a comparison with real world footage - as kindly provided by Melih Korkmaz (@korkmazmelih). And beyond that? Tom covers the highs and lows in 120Hz performance on PS5, Series X and S.

You know video game graphics have made it when they start getting side-by-side comparisons with real-life.
haha it already happened 20+ years ago though.
Infinity ward's work is always so insanely good. The animations and attention to detail is amazing.
@@Bigdaddymittens can you imagine if they weren’t in CoD prison and they could actually make something new?
I think its more because it represents a real place... The graphics arent really "real life like", in fact, many other games look much better than this, even TLoU 2 on the Ps4.
Biggest contributor to this is the lighting and the textures, CoD just look like a game while TLoU 2 or RDR 2 often look very real.
That was happening way back about 20yrs ago with games like 2002's The Getaway franchise on PS2 when they recreated London in extreme detail. And Project Gotham Racing 4 on Xbox 360 in 2007. That thing still looks amazing..
As an Amsterdam resident myself I thought it was real footage for a good 4-5 seconds before realizing it was a rendering. It was so good that it was aired on national TV.
Ik mis alleen de FEBO op die hoek
As an Eindhoven resident, I also thought it looked great. Now that's Amsterdam and Rotterdam have been featured in a game.... Is it Eindhoven's turn next?

floor is too shiny
in 40 years we've gone from blocks on a screen to life like visuals.
It’s kinda crazy how many things have change in this short amount of time vs the rest of history . I’m about that age and I’ve seen my grandparents black and white TVs now we have 4-8k TVs now . Used 8 track in old cars to digital music . I lived thru so many examples like that
My 7 year old brain (now 45) would have melted back then ha
I remember when 3 colors on the screen at the same time was ground breaking for gaming visuals. 😂 50 year old gamer here. 😁
It's been quite a ride growing up on the NES.
Wish the video was a text showcase video and included PC
The reason the bridge scene was dropping such high frames on Xbox is because you were using a long range scope . The second time around you use a short range scope and there are no visble drops because it doesn’t have to render 2 things at once. Kinda weird for you guys to miss something as obvious as this
True. It had different LOD assets loaded in between those two different times. Particularly the smoke effects, most likely, as those have their own aggressive LOD modes based on distance and zoom.
Good eye. I didn’t pick up on it right away myself.
It's well known that DF is a channel for Sony fanboys.
@@bbbazzinga what DF just straight up gives you the framedata of the games...
@@bbbazzinga ?
@@bbbazzinga lol
What’s impressive with the real life Amsterdam footage is that it has roughly the exact same FOV as the game does in that scene. Either an incredible happy accident or great attention to detail.
It was not an accident
@@corruptedpoison1 What’s still a minor shame is that there is an FOV setting in the console menus that Tom could have tuned to be exactly perfect, but it was darn close. I thought they still didn’t have FOV settings in CoD console versions, but I saw it show up later in the video.
the quality difference between pre rendered and real time is so huge
Well yeah. Just a design choice, and one they've done for the last several games. Personally, I didn't find it too distracting, but I understand where that's a jarring transition to some.
I'm okay with the discrepancy because the cinematics are so good looking I'd have hated to miss out on them
makes sense. Pre rendered movies still are miles ahead of anything done in real time as they don't care about how long it takes to render each frame where as a game feels best when a frame is rendered in 33.33ms or less
@@crestofhonor2349 you typed 16.66ms wrong ;)
@@TheDarksideFNothing I get what you’re saying but minimum 30FPS smooth is better than anything below that.
@@TheDarksideFNothing I'm talking about the minimum playable frame rate. People can and have played at 30fps fine. 60fps is obviously ideal and what games should be aiming for but 30fps is far from unplayable.
I've been over COD for years now, but it's nice to see them still pushing technical boundaries. Great work Tom.
Your so cool tell us more about how you over cod please
@@simracingchannel7691 It’s his opinion, and I think a lot of people share it. Why are you upset that he’s personally over a game series?
@@simracingchannel7691 He wasn't gloating about it or anything, why are you all bent out of shape about it? He even gave the series legitimate praise for their hard work on pushing the technical boundaries, but you had to focus on the beginning of his comment for some reason.
@@simracingchannel7691 You're*
@@simracingchannel7691 you ok?
At first when I saw the reflections in the car, I thought "good raytracing, maybe a bit overdone how shiny it is". That was the real car :)
The cobblestone (or whatever) in game has a bout as much reflection as the car. Doesnt look good at all. The stone looks more like glass.
the person that took the real footage and mimic the game movement is gold!
I assume the game movement was mimicking the real footage.
not very smart are you lol
for true realism in the Amsterdam level you should be able to abandon the stealth mission and check into a private cabin
honestly i’d love a mode where i can just walk around the map and chill out
lol, Start Smoking week and head to the Red Light District.
So conclusion, on Series S you put 120fps mode to play in proper 60fps 😂
DF did not just imply that the ac-130 mission overstayed its welcome! What? Loved every second of that one, as always. It is such a fun and unique experience in COD. I'm glad they went all in and had a full level on it, not just hopping in and out for bits at a time.
There was a time when Battlefield impressed visually as CoD does now...
IW took that Infinite Warfare bashing personally
I really miss those times, Battlefield always raising the bar
@@tidjane2001 I miss those times too. EA and Dice destroyed Battlefield, sad...
MW2 is not impressive
That real world vs game looks really impressive. Only downside is the reflections are way too strong. Yes you get reflections on wet brick, but not nearly that perfect looking on a rough wet surface, especially so long after the rain the sun is already out.
That is my problem with raytracing in games; that the reflections are too strong.
@@machcruiser5592 these are sreen-space reflections.
The same thing can be seen in other titles. If you choose the non-raytraced performance mode in Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart, wet concrete surfaces have a mirror like reflection. If you turn on raytracing, the reflections becomes dithered and looks correct for the surface. Raytracing fixes the issues you are bringing up, it doesn't introduce them.
@@mikew1080 I will agree with him though that many games do abuse ray tracing with things being set as as mirror sharp reflections when it should be rough. Ray tracing only fixes it if you're physical properties set per object is correct. It's much like how Halo Infinite originally looked like everything was just clay and their new ray tracing images don't seem to really make the image more accurate. It only has the data given to it, if the info is incomplete or inaccurate, the ray traced effects will be too.
The real life footage isn't very good quality either, pretty low contrast and the highlights are bad, kinda blown out. Looks like budget action camera footage.
@@DriveCancelDC well when they walked around the church it looked as though the sub was glinting on the lense. But it also just looked like they recorded it with an iPhone.
A little bit of game dev nitpicking here regarding the game's graphics & environments : Yes, some parts of the game look awesome. Yes, Amsterdam looks soo good ( the only thing dragging it down at first glance are the outdated NPC animations & models ) However, most of this stuff looks very good at long or middle distance, not so much when you get close to it . Especially with the assets using scanned data , like some of the stone reliefs and elements from the church, the texture resolution is very low compared to the surrounding tileable materials. There are some huge fluctuations in the texel ratio of the used textures in the game ( playing on "high " texture quality preset, had to double check it at the beginning when i encountered some pretty low-res stuff ) and I regularly found myself looking at a scanned asset with 2-3 times more blurry & low-res texture than the surrounding stone/debris asset next to it .Other thing that i think was used not well is compensating for the low-res textures of some scanned rock assets by overlaying a really intense detail normal map on top of the baked unique normal, creating a lot of visual noise. Ok rant over, sorry :P
That’s kind of been the staple of CoD’s art style since CoD 4 in 2007. They do great art, but done super quick and dirty to favor performance and development time. You almost have to admire how dedicated they are to not caring about the smaller things and always going for the most impactful “big picture”. I haven’t played CoD in years, but always appreciated how thrifty they are while achieving solid visuals that look great in motion.
Really hope we get a pc centric video, great work DF!
IW 9 engine is really shining here, offering a good experience even on the less powerful Series S
I must have watched a different video.
I adore this game. I just hope that they start addressing the technical issues on PC. The stuttering and screen glitching as well as the crashes are starting to get to me :(
If you're using Nvidia get the hotfix driver released 2 days ago.
The Nvidia hotfix helps with the graphical glitches and Infinity Ward put out a patch yesterday that addresses crashing and freezing issues. I played 6 matches with no issues, so of course, there could still be crashes but I went longer than I usually do with nothing going wrong.
I did play yesterday and still had crashes and stuff. I'll try out the hot fix and today's new update from IW and hopefully that helps
I’m running this on a 6700xt and randomly get the black blob that grows to cover the screen. First COD not on PS or Xbox and its a little annoying.
This games fucked all over the place. And my PC ain't the issue. I hope this "Nvidia hot fix" works.
Not sure if it’s only me but I get zero ads at the beginning of DF videos. Much respect for your content and the way y’all present it!🤘
This was definitely the most beautiful CoD i've ever seen. Thanks Tom 😁👍
Have you seen the grainy shadows and reflections? Not really
@@professorclup1082 I agree. The game looks really bad at times.
@@originalityisdead.9513 what cod looks better??
@@braedonlock3359 mw1
@@braedonlock3359 MW 2019 most definitely looks better. Have you even played the game? It looks like absolute shit during the day. The mission when you're running through the woods with Mexican special forces looks likes an early Xbox One game. The DLSS implementation is also the worst I've seen in quite a while. The campaign was a huge letdown as well, short and boring.
Finally. The frame rate drops are very noticeable on Series S but every time I tried to find an analysis on RUclips there were only videos of scenes where almost nothing was happening and everyone was like "See perfect 60fps!!!!!"
You arrive to the perfect place where ps5 drops are hide from public, the xbox is almost 20 frames faster in 120 mode, but they ignore the drops in their effort to present the pscrap as equal as the xbox. Thanks are other impartial channels that unmask this guys.
@@acevedoaandres It is faster because it is not v-sync. That is why PS5 has no screen tearing. Xbox performance will be the same as PS5 with v-sync enabled.
I cannot believe you are talking about fps ignoring that awful screen tearing.
LoL
@@Tecnitr0nic of course they know that, they're just trying to get a reaction from you.
Or maybe they are stupid:P
@@acevedoaandres just enjoy video games man
1:25 Ah, yes, the good old "wet streets" technique that they use to make Grand Theft Auto graphics mods. It looks better than real life! (It actually looks fantastic. ngl).
A lot of the missions seem to be borrowing from the Uncharted series. There's the jumping from exploding vehicle to exploding vehicle, escaping from a sinking ship, riding on a small boat at night during a storm, etc. It's giving me deja vu.
Also Philip Graves is voiced by Rafe's voice actor from Uncharted 4
train off a mountain?
Love the videos! You put so much time and work into them and they make my day better
Thank as always for the detail reviews
Pop in on ps5 is horrendous, some levels look great whilst others are very subpar. Compared to the first game I don’t see much of a difference I’m very underwhelmed 😢
Has this been fixed? I haven't bought it yet
Bridge collapse dips were with different optics. A zoomed in ACOG vs a reflex red dot could be the difference here
no just a weird texture loading issue. Replayed on xsx it does.t drop any frames
4:40 - wrong depict of amsterdam: there's a parking spot available
Comprehensive, excellent work as usual.
(And kudos to this man and the excellent new guy who seem to be carrying Digital Foundry on their shoulders at the moment. What are the other guys doing these days? 🤓)
I have been waiting for days for Alex to make an optimised settings guide video. I don't know why it took so long, maybe he is waiting Infinity Ward and Nvidia cooperate for a new driver, so he can finalize his comments.
I noticed that enabling FidelityFX CAS dropped the 120hz framerate by couple %, at least on the LG VRR counter. Would be cool to see you guys test it more scientifically…?
I have mine at 80 and it’s smooth asf

Standing. Standing around.

@@oppofieldpower9555 ps5 then series x
The image quality, and clarity in this chapter of the game looks absolutely incredible on Playstation 5 at least in the 60fps mode which is what i run for single player campaign as i save the 120fps modes for multiplayer only ! Im sure the Xbox Series X also looks equally amazing, and even the little Series S probably looks very good even if its not quite the same as that little console has proven it can be very capable for what it is, and at only $299 dollars i dont know how anyone could crap on its capabilities as i think its a very nice little system

Did anyone else notice that when the dropped frames during the bridge collapse were shown it was while scoped-in with I think a 4x Scope? Same thing happened again later. No drops when shows with the smg with a red dot.
I was falsely perma-banned upon launching the game on the 28th. Campaign early access worked fine. Thousands of others have had this issue. Hoping it's fixed.

Honestly, I have never ever seen the water so CLEAN in the Amsterdam Canals!!
Was hoping to see some information on the FidelityFX CAS slider. Was that covered in another video?
Came here for this as well
If the standard for games is now to be compared to real life I have to say I am impressed. I have this game for PC and I have been quite impressed so far though most of my playing has been multiplayer I just started in the water on the Amsterdam stage.
Nah games are so diverse on what they want you to experience. Some just want to be weird and i love it
Interesting that foliage was added when comparing game vs real footage.
Thank you! Can't wait for your Personal 5 Royal Switch coverage
What's the resolution for the 120hz mode on X|S and PS5??? No mention of it in the video
I think it would be so cool if you guys did a DF Retro on Tomb Editor, the newish Tomb Raider Level editor. I'd love to see the levels you would make!
Screen space reflections or not that water looks amazing
Bright sunny days are really difficult to make, the best sunny days I have seen so far is A plague tale requiem, impressive lightning
I was hoping to see effect of variable rate shading on final image quality. Either of Alex, John or Rich would have covered it. They have set the bar high for DF
Is anyone else experiencing a lot of texture aliasing in the game? I'm running on a Series X and noticed a crazy amount considering its supposed to be displaying in 4K at 60fps. The dock level in Amsterdam is awful.
Patiently awaiting for you guys to do optimized PC settings.
What a time to be alive
Always a pleasure to watch DF videos but I was expecting for this analysis some words on FSR and how it performs to see if it worths activating it.
The 120hz mode is really for multiplayer and other videos suggest all the consoles hold 120 fps way better in mp
Not for me. 120hz always where possible on my LG C1.
With vrr it plays way better than the 60 FPS. If you don’t have VRR then play 60. But ground war maps and warzone will drop just like campaign. So 120 hz is for everything with VRR

It would be nice to hear what other sacrifices were made to get ~ 100 fps.. resolution? Decal limits? Particle effects? Hello?
I was in Amsterdam recently and I looking around in case I saw Price and the rest of the crew.
The Amsterdam level looks incredible, I haven't played a cod game for some years, guess I've just lost the love, but seeing this relights a spark within me.
So what's the resolution when in 120hz mode ?
This video showcase is amazing. I can't wait to see you guys possibly create an HDR showcase for the video game. I want to experience it's HDR and graphics on my recent HDR monitor, but I don't want to buy the video game lol.
Just pirate it lmao, call it a ”demo” if you want you wuss!’
@@alenko4763 I guess that is always an option lmao!
It’s very hard to “showcase” HDR experiences, since it’s specific to the monitor or tv for each instance. It doesn’t translate over to another screen the same, even if that screen has HDR. It’s the same kind of issue with VRR/G-Sync. You can’t really show it, other than in real life in the same room.
@@itsd0nk I thought HDR is supposed to be some kind of tone mapping or hash table lookup type. Like it will be mastered and given values according to the producer and their screen with it's own tone mapping. Therefore, the output to each viewer would be scaled according to their monitor and as long as their monitor's tone mapping is not broken it will be seen in the same contrast ratio scaled down/up according to the monitor.
Yes, not the same, but not like watching an HDR video with SDR screen.
@@nuketube2650 nost hdr basically is a sdr screen with brightness controls
Can you guys please cover Wrc generations and tell us what’s going on with these console graphic options. There’s no 120hz anymore and the 60hz feels broken. I’m stuck using 4K 30
I hope they finally updated the fish to have individual A.I.
Hoping to see PC next. Also recommended settings for quality/performance
Everything set to low to get as much fps as possible
@@wanshurst2416 He said that he wants the best performance while having the game looking as good as possible. Can you read?

Citys looks great but the outdoor misson looking just basic. Nothing reacts to the player or explosions everything is very static. The textures are often not realy good and sometimes even the polygone count looks low.
Tested it with my father he thought that the right side was real life lol
While I’m playing on pc, would the reason for the initial drop in fps in the bridge scene because of the rifle’s scope as opposed to a red dot or lower magnified sight? I know the sniper rifles have dual rendering and that might have some demanding performance? I know the scope used on that rifle isn’t a sniper right, but I don’t know if the dual rendering applies to the mid magnification scopes
What is the resolution in 120fps mode on consoles
1440p not sure on S
Series S is actually incredible for 300 $.
It absolutely is, I've had my Series S for almost a week now, even BF2042 looks amazing on it
No point in cheaping out for a 5 year investment. 500 bucks isn't much worse than 300 considering what you're getting. It's like buying a 360 core over a Premium in '07.

It Feels like Call Of Duty is treading into Old School Assassin's Creed Territory with the real world recreations.
Could fool you into thinking this is real life...until humans show up and start moving.
Great upload DF! This is awesome COD remake.
probably the most unrealistic part is how the canals arent filled with submerged bikes and trash
Meanwhile gothem knights says they can't run over 30fps lmao mw2 put gothem knights to shame
They should of just disabled the 120 hz mode for series s on campaign. Then turn 1440p to 1080p on the series s just for campaign, then it would hold a steady 60 FPS.
The 120 hz mode is kinda pointless rather have a steady 1080p 60.
Yes play 60fps with campaign on series s but 120 on multiplayer
this will be the first cod game i wanted to play since black ops2

This is the first title I've noticed (on xbox) that doesn't have audio/visual sync issues with Atmos activated. I wonder what was done at the developer level to mitigate this - the full screen videos do seem to stutter at times too, which is not ideal
@eel3161 I think he means Dolby Atoms (software on Xbox) not hardware products
@eel3161 I presume he means when passing through his TV to a soundbar, that will always cause sync issues with Dolby Atmos on Xbox.
The game looks more visually appealing than the real-life counterpart 😭
So you like backgrounds that look like they are made out of just 15 polygons?
Where are the guys who worshiped cerny like a messiah on cold war tests ?
Coping 🤣🤣🤣
at 9:28 there is a shadow difference though? if you look at the church you can see a noticable improvement in shadow map quality on the series x.
Well The playstation foundry wouldn't notice that nor the aliasing on the windows on ps5 side 9:30
But if it was bad on the series x he would've montioned that no doubt !
All the Amsterdam footage keeps me coming to the same conclusion. It looks incredible, but there's no getting around the limits of SSR.
For games with such incredible visuals already, I'm surprised they haven't been as keen to implement raytracing for those few elements that don't quite hold up
I’m on ps5 and it has some crazy pop-ins. Otherwise it’s solid
Bridge drop was using a zoomed sight, posterior test you were using a regular reflex, consider that.
So the series S 120hz mode must drop to 1080p then?? Maybe they should have done that for the 60hz mode as well!

Can the campaign be played offline or do you need to download a patch first?
"Sewies S does not hold this generation back!!"
Right guys? It's a fkn crime that xbox pushed this. I get that they were really behind on market share and wanted to gain a lot of new players mainly kids and people who couldn't afford 200 more for the actual next gen consoles. But they lied and cheated while doing so. They promised a console that would preform and look the same only power res.
We haven't seen it do that with a single fkn game yet ffs. Performance is always abysmal. Often worse than Xbox one x because it HAS to look similar to the series x version aside from resolution eventhough it obviously can't handle it.
Yeah, the amount of defending for that console is annoying
I dont care that it exist, but dont mandate it for all devs making a game for xbox
@@ddp5406 The sad part is the people defending it remind me of the console war kids during the time leading up to the PS4/xbox1 release. They all have these poorly written, poorly spelled comments calling PS owners names even though this isn't a thing most ps owners know or care about. They all obsessively defend their console trying to prove how good it is with screenshots even though that doesn't change the performance and gfx and the fact that it performs far below promises.
They also dont seem to realise. Forcing Xbox to buckle on the series S would likely end up giving them free upgrades to Xbox series X. Which I wholeheartedly think they deserve and would support.
But it's just kids thinking they have to defend something because they are 'part of that group' or think that large companies are their bff and that they need to pick sides. And the peope who want to justify their sale and try to mitigate their buyers remorse by coping like that.
I genuinely think that series S owners got scammed and lied too. And the faster they realise this the beter it is. You can still be happy with what you got. But it's not what they promised you'd get, why would you defend a company for lying?
I don't understand brand loyalty. I loved my 360. Switched to PS4 without even a second of thought when I saw the always on, Kinect tv console thing they were trying to sell. That's how WE gamers saved XBOX. That's how Xbox realised they couldn't screw with us. That's how they changed and became a much better console company today.
If er all just defended Xbox physical games wouldn't exist today. Every game would be always on. Rvrry console woulfd come with a camera spying on you, listening and checking if you're watching the ads. They even wanted to use Kinect to stop people from watching Netflix together!
Don't allow companies to get away with stuff. Kids these days are getting worse and worse with how they stand their favorite brands
I know the series s gets a lot of criticism, but damn, it really does hold up well for the price.
1:33 My dad was pooped on by a bird exactly on that street corner lol
How is input latency between platforms? Is it lower on Xbox due to an apparent absence of VSync? Or is VSync also present on Xbox but simply fails to prevent tearing whilst adding latency?
I'm wondering the same thing. It would be good to understand why VSYNC was implemented on the PS5 version, but not on the XBOX version of the game.
Thoroughly enjoyed this year's campaign. I know it's all just by the numbers macho nonsense but it's good fun. The graphics are incredible on next gen. The lighting model they use is as good as it gets without Ray tracing.
That's what really blew me away. I've never seen a traditionally lit game have so few lighting problems. I was bummed at first that they removed the RT, but in retrospect I see why.
macho nonsense? so you support a woke military?
@@MikeG82 Wait, is making a game realistic and military accurate “woke” now? Or are there special ops soldiers often having upside down high speed car chases with automatic machine pistols? Macho nonsense is a concise term for the over the top, unrealistic scenarios and depictions of super human heroics. What kind of broken-brained, red-pilled, psychotic reaction is that lol.

Okay you guys made a big deal about the Xbox series x screen tearing which I never saw once when I played the story. But in your own video at 2 mins when you have Xbox series x and ps5 side by side showing Amsterdam there is clearly something off about the ps5 footage. It’s lower res or something look at the windows they are super jagged and the Xbox are clean and clear yet you didn’t mention that at all how come?

Call of Duty needs to release the singleplayer campaigns separately. This looks fun to play through but I couldn’t care less about multiplayer or Warzone. So… I pass on this
Why pass on it if it looks fun to play? Just don’t play the multiplayer?
@@fensoxx It's too expensive for a few hours of entertainment. Also it's a pity that older Call of Duty games are still quite expensive
@@fensoxx it’s too expensive for the single player alone. They should do something like the old MW2 campaign remastered, that also excluded any form of multiplayer. Or they could release campaign bundles, like the single player content of WWII and Vanguard bundled. Or the MW I & II reboots bundled. For the record this is not COD hate or something, I do like the campaigns a lot. And Halo Infinite is just the same, no way I’ll pay that full price for just the campaign (since MP is F2P anyway).
There is way, WAY too much focus on multiplayer, battle royals and battle passes in AAA FPS games the last couple of years. Singleplayer fans get no love and get all the MP shoved down their throat. In MW 2019 I can’t even uninstall / remove that friggin Warzone crap from my Xbox (which takes a lot of GBs). Meanwhile they do give the option to uninstall everything else… 🙄
@@Breyzipp I do agree on that. A campaign only bundle deal would be amazing. I would probably buy that too.
I guess the truth is they don't really care. They just make too much money on their multiplayer.
@@Breyzipp I see. I wasn’t asking that in a flip way btw, I was curious. I also didn’t realize that the game is $70. I agree with you now… not worth $70 for a 12 hour campaign when I also don’t like multiplayer. Which sucks because I bet I’d like the campaign. Last good fps campaign was Sniper Elite 5. Give that a go if you’re looking for a good time that’s not $70. Especially with a pal in co-op.
