Infinity Ward: Modern Warfare pushes Xbox 360 to its “upper limits”

Speaking with VG247 at E3 this week, Infinity Ward’s Mark Rubin said that Modern Warfare 2 leaves the Xbox 360 winded and gasping for breath. At this point, he noted, it’s all about finding little tricks to squeeze more power out of the aging machine.

“We always push to the upper limits,” he said. “It’s just a matter of working around them at this point.

“Having to squeeze more blood from that stone. We added texture streaming now so that we can have a much bigger world, and we can stream in super high detail textures for the area close in proximity to you. And the rendering engine has been redone.”

To be frank, if the Xbox was sweating, we couldn’t tell when we saw it in LA yesterday. Modern Warfare 2 looks amazing. Game’s out in November. We never knew we had this much drool.

i agree mw2 looks amazing, i cant wait to play it in november.

i disagree with infinity wards mark ruben that 360 is an aging machine.

i think almost everyone will be getting this game.

im hoping for a vastly tweaked multiplayer. both cod4 and cod waw, played the same online imo

Well blame that on Treyarch for copying what Infinity Ward had done. You can't really blame them either. I think IW will have some goodies in store for us with MW2.



Love the product, not the company. They love your money, not you.

I dont know its kind of hard to believe after seeing Alan wake and then we know crysis 2 is coming to the 360. Those to games alone I think are a slap in the face to people who said that the 360 was maxed out graphicly. Then again this seems to be the new thing talking about how you maxing the machine out given the best possible game.

If this was truly the case then the PS3 would be the lead platform.

i dont believe him at all, i think alan wake looks better than mw2. :)

every developer has said this at one point.

between this and its only possible on machine X. i am starting to get tired of devlopers. :-\

Dont people realize yet that developers say this to impress people. We did this were hot shit, etc. etc. Then next year they say it again, rince and repeat.



Its libraries that sell systems not a single game.

This is true...capcom said this about Resident Evil 5 for the Wii when it was in early stages(before they canceled it). But I think they actually had a point as the early screenshots indicated they are correct that it wasnt possible...see below.

This is one game I can't wait for. The other being Gran Turismo 5

Like it has been said many times before. Developers keep saying that about systems (even half way into the PS2 generation, which was way off), and then you look at another game come out after it which looks even better. Over time compression tech, programing, etc become more advanced. I remember someone saying they pushed the limits of the 360 in early 08, and then gears 2 came out. Then Resident Evil 5 came out. Now you look at Lost Planet 2, Mass Effect 2, Alan Wake, Forza 3, Splinter Cell Conviction and Assassins Creed 2, and they look to take it to the next level. Same thing with the PS3. Things will keep looking better on both systems
