Forums - Gaming - Digital Foundry Face-Off: Call of Duty: Ghosts (PS3, 360, PC, Wii U)

Black Ops 3 will be better (assuming it is coming to Wii-U; and I'd think it will be) since it'll be Treyarch handling their own code rather than dealing with someone else's.

That said, I'm not too surprised Wii-U got a bad deal. I understand we're in a cyclical "but we won't buy the games if they're bad ports!" kind of thing right now; but not enough people bought Black Ops 2 in the first place (which is a decent port) to warrant a vast amount of resources going into Ghosts to optimize it.

(I know, I know "we didn't get the DLC" etc., which is all true, but still).

I wonder how it'll sell.

lol. On most forums I have read that the Wii U version is clearly the best compared to ps3/360 ... maybe they were just Nintendo fans.

Anyways, looks like I'll save myself 60$. Perhaps I can buy a worthy game like the Wonderful 101 now.


i'm waiting on AC4 faceoff, before i decide if i should buy for 360 or wiiu.


There was already a AC4 face off, although for current gens only, don't know why they didn't include Wii U, maybe they didn't get the game copy? Maybe they'll do it with next gens but I would be surprised. Judging by AC3 version for Wii U, and how small the differences between PS4 and PS3 versions were (apart from framerate and resolution, but Wii U certainly won't be higher than 720p and unlocked 30fps) I expect visual parity with maybe slightly better framerate on the 360.

DF said they would do a comparsion of the wiiu version when they do the nextgen versions, i'm gonna wait for the DF faceoff, because impressions from wiiu gamers have been very off with multiplatform comparisons.

But it's Treyarch developing the Wii U version pretty much internally this time as well, even their own formula for resolution and AA is here and exactly the same as in BO2. 

I honestly wouldn't expect the hypothetical BO3 version for Wii U to be much better, it just seems that they have very limited team and resources for that and that's close to what Wii U owners can generally get. They certainly didn't make much progress since BO2, I could find that face off, but iirc that was a pretty staight 360 port visually with big framerate dips, now with Ghosts from what DF is saying it's slightly visually inferior to 360 and terrible framerate is still in place.



So it is happening...PS4 preorder.

Greatness Awaits!

I was going to get the Wii U version but, since they apparently didn't try, I'm going to skip the game entirely. First time since Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare on the 360 that I do this. Oh well.



good example why most people outside of gaming forums don't really care too much about resolution. the ps3 version has a resolution of 860x600 and the game will still sell better as any 720p or even better game on ps3. if 720p would be really a problem, 860x600 would be a huge flop but no, people will love it and won't even talk about this resolution.

"The real letdown comes with the Wii U version, which sees owners of Nintendo's console once again left with a sub-par experience marred by frequent frame-rate issues and some pretty striking texture quality problems that makes it hard to recommend when both 360 and PS3 offer up smoother gameplay and more enjoyable online play as a result."

Last year WiiU had the excuse of being new. This year that it was an afterthought. Next year ??


I think the reality is the wiiu hardware is really close to currentgen, and to make it better then currentgen it needs a lot of effort and optimization, this isn't a rare occurance most ports have been inferior according to digitail foundry, but in the end, i just want to play amazing nintendo games in HD that's why i'm happy with my wiiu.



You put your effort were you will be rewarded, hence why the wii U version is the worst of the 3 and the X360 is the best



Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.

When the "next gen" ultimate pc version looks slightly superior to last gen, you know you can't expect much on consoles.



Man. Game looks like total garbage on consoles graphically doesn't it. Total cash-in this game. It's not exactly a contender for 'Graphics King' on PC either, but at least it's presentable. Those console ports are a joke, and the WiiU version is the worst. How on Earth can it be so utterly inconsistent quality-wise? In some scenes, the WiiU version is the clear winner over the other consoles, but then in others, textures look like they're 6th gen!

well Treyarch used IW code to work with. My guess is its just a cheap port to get the game on the console. You can't really blame activision after the poor sales.

There is no excuse for the really poor sales of ghosts. sure it has some issues, but the game also has issues on XBOX one and PS4 and people will preordering it in hundreds of thousands lol.
