After two matches Battery 11%

Starting from 100%?

I know it is hyberbole but it is so annoying.

Nah, especially not in terms of polygons. I pulled a little GameXplain on the video and analyzed the pictures more closely.

This game hits the polygon ceiling pretty hard, which is very visible if you watch the trailer in full screen on your PC/TV/whatever. The textures are brighter, but not anywhere near high res. Even early PS360 titles did better in that remark - they just had very bland colors compared to the much more vibrant ones in the trailer. The textures are also very uneven, the characters are okayish (pretty much as we say in Luxembourg: beautiful from afar but far from beautiful, at closeups they look really crappy bot otherwise okay), but the vehicles are extremely bad looking, even PS2 did better back then. just compare the shooter in front of the car with said car at the 22 second mark, or the hilariously crappy graphics of the car at 00:19.

In other words, that's closer to a Call of Duty Wii HD upscale than PS360 visuals. But the small screen couple with fast-paced action will cover those flaws pretty well.

Knowing Activision, I expect you'll need a state-of-the-art new phone for those visuals, and crank them down quite a lot on more mid-range phones.

I did say "what I expect out of 7th gen" and not "One of the best looking 7th gen titles".
The early 7th gen titles were fairly average in terms of geometric complexity and texture resolution, it wasn't until developers introduced Texture and Mesh Streaming that those assets took a jump in quality on last gen hardware.

Where it falls short is likely due to the reliance on FP16 precision and keeping things simple to run on a wider range of mobile hardware.

In saying that, I still stand by the fact that it is what I would expect out of 7th gen hardware, not cutting edge, not the worst of the worst.

Just comparing this to Call of Duty 3 or Call of Duty 4 on the Xbox 360 is very telling.

I can't get past the question of: ...Why?
Surprisingly doesn't look to bad visually, basically what I expect from 7th gen games but with improved post-processing.

 

PUBG and Fortnite are on mobile and are making a ton of money from it.

I guess money speaks.

As a veteran of COD on Wii, this is definitely closer to PS360 COD than Wii COD graphically.

Though they were remarkable achievements in terms of getting the framework of a AAA PS360 blockbuister up and running on much weaker hardware, the Wii COD games had much worse lighting, effects, and overall detail than this.

I would play this... if its in the Windows 10 Store so I can play it on a PC.

You can do so with Bluestacks: https://www.bluestacks.com/

I haven't tried Bluestacks in a long while, so I installed it gave it a go. Tried PUBG and... its freezing at the load screen.

Its POTENTIALLY viable, but it doesn't have the performance or simplicity of a Windows 10 port.

yeah the way they monetize the shit out of a full priced game with a full priced season pass, wouldnt be surprised if you had to pay for login tokens. This can sit beside diablo immortal and fuck itself.

I can see Activision porting this to the Switch and that will be all the CoD love the Switch is getting lol  ...and if that happens I'll play it lol

I can see them not porting this OR mainline COD to Switch tbh, publishers often show an incredible lack of rationality where supporting the Switch is concerned.

I mean come on, the Wii got 5 COD games and even the Wii U got 2, and the Switch is a more suitable platform than either of them.

Well ya I can see Activision not porting anything as well.  But if Activision wanted to 'test' the Switch seems like the best/laziest thing they'll do is port this game.  

Publishers are all over the place with Switch...like Capcom doing lots of support one day like a king....then the next day they may support depending if one of their games does well.

Yeah this would be a really easy port as not only does it already run on mobile architecture but it also likely runs on phones weaker than the Switch. And agreed, third party support is about as even as an emo's haircut, even in cases where there's no good reason to skip the Switch. I mean I get games like Red Dead 2 and Cyberpunk 2077 skipping the system, nobody in their right mind expected those, but no COD, no new Monster Hunter, no Overwatch, no Spyro Reignited, no GTA5? Those just make no sense.
