According to Sledgehammer Games co-founder Michael Condrey, Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare is built on a new engine to focus on next generation games only.
Audio Director Don Veca says, “We’ve had two and a half years to create brand-new tech to control and support this game. It’s something like 10 times the memory since this is next-gen. With all this extra memory and new mixing technology, we don’t have to compress everything. We can make things longer and let them breathe.”
In Call of Duty Advanced Warfare we will be amazed on how intense the game is. Advanced Warfare will show its true strength on next-gen and PC, says Sledgehammer.
Activision Publishing CEO Eric Hirshberg commented on the positives of Call of Duty’s new three-year, three-studio development cycle, gives the studios the freedom to fail in the creative process.” Along with a visually improved Call of Duty experience, it also leads to “new core mechanics” and “new approaches within the game,” says Hirshberg.
