Call of Duty 4 on the PS3 runs at 60FPS with full AA
According to the dev, "Same level of AA between 360/PS3, both @ 60fps. Hate on the PS3 all you want guys, but we've done did it up right for the Sony lovers. Nothing has been 360 footage yet touted as PS3, you crack-heads! I'm not sure whats up with what you guys might have seen at E3, but we do have AA on the PS3."
It's awesome to see Infinity Ward pulling out all the stops and not picking the lazy way out like EA did with their sports games. Plus, they mention that the PS3 will be getting some special COD4 flavored love and that we'll hear about it soon. Hopefully it's something more than lame Sixaxis support, but at this point PS3 fans would be happy just to get a freaking demo or something ...

No way, I would rather buy a louzy EA games... On top of that, they will remove their online server next year so you have to buy the game every year... Much better choice.
Seriously, this game look awesome.
phattie @ Aug 14th 2007 9:11PM
EA has a monopoly on NFL games... whether its better on PS3 or 360... EA wins.
GL @ Aug 14th 2007 9:19PM
LOL!
Infinity Ward PWNED all PS3-haters!
wonway01 @ Aug 14th 2007 9:20PM
I remember seeing so many posts bashing the PS3 saying it can not do any AA at all too.... :)
GL @ Aug 14th 2007 9:38PM
HOLY PS3 COW!
N4G.com source story has over 100 comments. Both EA and xbots are being slain! Yikes! I'm thinking of joining the party!
Poor EA (Madden 08 debacle). They are going to be sore in the morning! I'm shedding a tear for them now...NOT! :P

but.. but.. but.. EA says 60 is teh impossible!!!
knives @ Aug 14th 2007 10:03PM
I really dont want to sound stupid or anything. But when the article said "Nothing has been 360 footage yet touted as PS3" ummm what do they mean by that? someone please.
GL @ Aug 14th 2007 10:07PM
knives,
The dev is refuting those that say that all PS3 demos have really been 360 in disguise.
Jason B. @ Aug 14th 2007 10:10PM
It means that they haven't used screen shots or movies from the 360 version and said it was for the PS3 version. It is a deceptive practice among some developers.
GL @ Aug 14th 2007 10:11PM
Where's the 9th post?
Parker @ Aug 14th 2007 10:13PM
@8 - He means that the footage shown of the PS3 version of the game is the actual footage from the PS3 version. xbots have been spreading rumors that the PS3 game footage was 360 footage and not actual PS3 footage.
In other words when the devs say this is PS3 footage, it really is.
Matt B @ Aug 14th 2007 10:30PM
Thanks for getting mad Colin. It shows that you have some passion and you are not just a hired hand. I hope COD4 is everything its hyped to be on the PS3. The tide need to start getting turned.
joey2joey @ Aug 14th 2007 10:31PM
That explains why alot of the footage seen has [] and X on them. I am pretty sure the fetures will mainly be more online features. A lot of games do that. Then again it is an apology for delaying it so much because there are only 5 million ps3s out there. Only 5 million wow that is so small. I heard them talking about how much about the 60 fps no matter what so i would not be suprised if everything has 60fps. The ps3 can do all the texturing and stuff. It can do it better but harder to do so all these lazy companys just tune it down.
joey2joey @ Aug 14th 2007 10:34PM
I am also sick of all these game companys ignore the ps3. A highly superior console and just think xbox 360 will go on and ps3 will end. Havent they already made that mistake twice?
stuckouteast @ Aug 14th 2007 10:34PM
I just messed my pants. I'm taking the $60 I just saved by not buying the crap-tastic port of Madden '08 and throwing it down on a pre-order for COD4!
Shikoku @ Aug 14th 2007 10:35PM
i don't see why people who own xboxes find the need to make fun and talk down on ps3'ers just to make themselves feel better....
Maybe they're too poor or don't know how to budget themselves to get one
if the 360 is so superior why bother with people who own an "inferior" console
You don't see people with ferrari's making fun of people driving toyotas or whatever...
oh wait maybe you do, but we have a name for those people, douchebags

WTF are you two going on about? Here's a refresh...
According to the dev, "Same level of AA between 360/PS3, both @ 60fps. Hate on the PS3 all you want guys, but we've done did it up right for the Sony lovers. Nothing has been 360 footage yet touted as PS3, you crack-heads! I'm not sure whats up with what you guys might have seen at E3, but we do have AA on the PS3."
This is saying that the PS3 is running the same as the XBOX 360... finally.
I paid less for my system that does the same thing yours does...
Far superior online gaming FTW!
knives @ Aug 14th 2007 10:47PM
thank you all!
GL @ Aug 14th 2007 11:03PM
x silence x,
Do want me to explain it to you? The issue isn't that the 360 and PS3 version are equal. It that the XBOTS like yourself have been going on about how the PS3 version will be inferior to the 360; i.e. can't do 60fps and AA.
May I also remind you that we're talking about a 3rd party company, not a 1st party (who has already proven that 60fps and 1080p is possible on the PS3: NGS and Sony's own games).
So, not only has the dev for Infinity Ward proven these PS3-haters wrong. But also called PS3-haters "crack heads!" LOL!
All this equals = PWNED!
kamiller42 @ Aug 15th 2007 12:01AM
60fps is great news. That's 60fps @ 1080p?
royce @ Aug 15th 2007 12:02AM
@Jack
It doesn't utilize the systems potential. It's a good xbox360 port, unlike Madden which is a bad Xbox360 port. I don't understand how this "equals = PWNED!".
Somehow its a victory that a more powerful system can finally equal the performance of a less powerful system.
clavian @ Aug 15th 2007 12:05AM
Hey Jack, what game did the 360 have in November of last year that showed it's true potential? I only recall one, JACK.
DKo5 @ Aug 15th 2007 12:17AM
Just to clarify, I didn't post this on any official website or forum. I frequent NeoGAF, as they're good people (most the time ;D), and I saw some slanderous "omg PS3 suxxx" comments" to which I had to reply.
kleppemeister @ Aug 15th 2007 12:51AM
I wouldent trust the devs when thay say its the PS3 version of the game, I dont know why, becouse devs have "never" lied about that sort of stuff before. Lol. I wounder what FPS the PC version will run at.
And lol@fanboys.
ruibing @ Aug 15th 2007 12:55AM
I'm happy to hear that developers aren't taking the weak route out. Certainly good to see more and more third party developers fully supporting the console. I wonder if the extra capacity of the blu ray disc will allow for bonus material.
kingnick @ Aug 15th 2007 1:09AM
@ 21.
Ninja Gaiden Sigma is native 720p and just upscaled to whatever resolution you have your PS3 set to.
Notice how none of the 1080p games have had outstanding graphics, texture quality is just as important as resolution and because of the two separate banks of memory and heavy OS using quality textures is more of an issue than on Xbox360.
jeffrey @ Aug 15th 2007 1:44AM
HEEEEY MAN #17 whats wrong with toyota
the 2007 tundra kicks any other trucks ass :P!!
i cant wait for COD4 getting it for my pc and my ps3
doing away with my 360
I DeX I @ Aug 15th 2007 1:49AM
I just wish people would stop bashing consoles all together. I own a 360 and PS3. I plan on getting a Wii when Mario Galaxy comes out. All three systems are great. Let's end the War PLEASE. I am sick of listening to all the whiners!!!
kyuss74 @ Aug 15th 2007 1:56AM
@24
No game has shown the x360s full potential yet.
Anthony Pittarelli @ Aug 15th 2007 2:04AM
yeah for how powerful the ps3 is its astonshing that there is even a question of the anti aliasing. once the ps3 is "unlocked" i suppose it will be better. the second generation games already look fantastic!
#1FanBoy @ Aug 15th 2007 2:13AM
I'll still preorder this, but wait on the reviews for all future 3rd party games. Rainbow Six is pretty good but not as good as the 360. I just don't want to support companies that put out crappy ports.
Madden...I can't believe I paid 60 bucks for that crap. It's kind of sad in a way, I've owned every Madden made for the Playstation consoles. Although I remember not being a big fan of the first version of Madden on PS2.
***OH WAIT, THIS IS THE SECOND YEAR ON PS3"***How sad and pathetic...
Zac LaCombe @ Aug 15th 2007 2:39AM
You know, posts like these really embarass me as a PS3 owner. Why do you still call them Xbots? You're just as big of a fanboy obviously to use such a silly name. No one "pwned" anyone. Someone confirmed that the "far superior system" actually runs at the same frame rate with Anti-Aliasing. That's great for those of us who own both and can choose which system to buy it for. Get over it and be mature civilized fans of your system.
chadsurfjunky @ Aug 15th 2007 2:59AM
#19 has got a point...same game, same graphics. its sad because only infinity ward is doing it right for the PS3...other developers just don't want to waste their time and just want to make money...
the blu ray drive...only 2x speed(9Mbps)...you can get a sony bluray disc player for $480 with a 12x speed(54Mbps) drive.
GL @ Aug 15th 2007 3:05AM
@28,
kingnick,
Sigh...can you please show me where it says that NGS is "native 720p." Please...we'll wait for your proof.
And please. No articles from March 2007.
GL @ Aug 15th 2007 3:54AM
chadsurfjunky,
Your numbers are off a bit...12x? I don't think so.
Mb = megabits
MB =megabytes
Blu-ray 1x: 36Mbps / 4.5MBps
12x DVD: 66 - 132Mbps / 8.2 - 16.5MBps
Blu-ray 2x: 72Mbp / 8MBps
12x DVD: 66 - 132Mbps / 8.2 - 16.5MBps
Blu-ray 3x: 108Mbps / 13.5MBps
12x DVD: 66 - 132Mbps / 8.2 - 16.5MBps
Blu-ray 4x: 144MBps / 18MBps
12x DVD: 66 - 132Mbps / 8.2 - 16.5MBps
ForceUnleashed @ Aug 15th 2007 7:36AM
LMAO...why are you sony fanboys making shit up now? I haven't once said that the ps3 version of COD4 was going to be better than the 360 version in terms of graphics....
So I don't know who you think you're "pwning" but its definitely not me.
And the fact is that this is one small lil victory for you guys.
And of course you call EA lazy since they didn't understand the difficult to program for machine that you all own.
You guys must really be desperate...and the hilarious part is that your $600 system is still only performing on the same level as my much cheaper Elite!
See Colin if you wrote an article without calling EA lazy or actually had something that shows the ps3 version is going to be better THEN I'd understand all the fanboyish pissing contest that you seem determined to start.
But all you've done is confirm how childish most sony fanboys are (the comments in the thread) and revealed that a MULTIPLATFORM game is going to be almost exactly the same on BOTH systems.
Congrats ps3 owner...now you'll catch up to the Wii and 360 in sales.
NOT
Neil @ Aug 15th 2007 8:57AM
@ ForceUnleashed
You have a valid point, some PS3 devs are now able to match the Xbox360 whilst other devs either haven't the skill or can't be asked. If it's the later then this situation will change pretty urgently as it's becoming that other devs ARE making the effort.
All in all this is good news, the promise and suggestions that the difficult to code for PS3 will be tamed has started, this knowledge will be transferred back to Sony and other devs and so the cycle will continue with the next phase of code surpassing this phase and so on. A year from now, all games will be Xbox360 standard with one or two surpassing it. Xbox360 devs will in turn strive to keep up with the PS3 and Us, the consumer will be the ones to benefit.
Long Live Xbox360 & PS3, rivalry is good for us all.
Deviation @ Aug 15th 2007 9:39AM
What's with this crap about Ninja Gaiden Sigma being 720p native? Sigma is rendered in 1080p at 60fps.
ForceUnleashed @ Aug 15th 2007 9:40AM
@ Neil
1st off thanks for your comments.
I don't mind rivalry...as long as the competition is respectable. And sony to me is the least respectable of all the console makers.
However thats besides the point. The main reason I responded to the thread was not to flame or troll. It was just the sheer ridiculousness of some of the posts I saw. I mean the way some of these sony fanboys act you'd think that MS and the 360 fanboys had been talking about COD4 being better for the 360 than the ps3. And thats NOT the case. I've hardly heard anything in regards to which version will be better. I myself think the game will look basically the same for both systems.
So I just didn't see the need or the reason behind the cheering or even the attitude that so obviously shines thru the article itself.
Its one thing to report good news. Its another to attack another company simply because they didn't do something you wanted.
EA is not owned by sony. Nor is it owned by sony fanboys or ps3 owners. Therefore EA has every right to make its OWN decisions. And the 360 and the Wii are clearly winning the race this generation of gaming. With that in mind EA has every MOTIVE and RIGHT to focus on those two systems IF they want to. The ps3 with its small base (compared to the other systems) is NOT worth the trouble. And the simple fact is that EA probably had trouble developing the game to begin with on the ps3 due to the complexity of the machine. And perhaps time was a factor as well. As opposed to COD4, Madden probably didn't have as much time to get done.
But that aside its good for ps3 owners that they have a game in 60 fps. However why they think us 360 fanboys would care when we're getting the SAME thing is beyond me. Its not like COD4 is going to change the tide of the console wars...
Anyways thats my two cents...
ForceUnleashed @ Aug 15th 2007 9:42AM
And ot add to the whole EA thing...when sony and its fanboys actually find proof that EA didn't make the ps3 version of Madden 60 fps on purpose then they can call EA "lazy".
Until then its just an ASSumption.
ForceUnleashed @ Aug 15th 2007 10:27AM
At the risk of sounding very ignorant I have to ask who is Adam Sessler?
And even then did he say it would be vastly superior and what were his reasons? Oh and I'm going to do research on this to verify what you say and find out more of course...
On a more personal note even if I didn't have a 360 and was still just a wiifanboy I'd buy the 360 version just cuz of Live. The online experience on the xbox is just worth it IMO.
It just seems hilarious to me how the sony fanboys are frothing at the mouth and so desperate to pick a fight with 360 fanboys because their system has one game running on the SAME level as the 360.
ForceUnleashed @ Aug 15th 2007 11:09AM
There goes that word again...PWNED...
Is that serious? Am I suppose to care? That is if I even believe that you "pwned" me in the first place?
God the hypocrisy...
No I didn't come here to pick a fight. I came here to read the article of course and to get news. This is a NEWS website right? And I like to read news about all the systems. Even if I just have 2 of them.
Last but not least after reading the article and looking at the ridiculous posts I decidded to comment on them. Thats not a crime. Nor is it pathetic. Especially since I've made completely valid and smart comments regarding this stupid argument.
The bottom line is that I have never made a big deal about COD4. I've never heard that it was going to be superior to the ps3 version. So why this is huge news is beyond me. And why the sony fanboys are in attack mode is beyond me as well.
But then again people like you prove over and over again just how pathetic and arrogant the entire sony fanbase is. I've been civil with you and answered your questions. Yet you've dodged most of my comments/questions in your own attempts to insult me.
Later.
ForceUnleashed @ Aug 15th 2007 11:10AM
And for the record I think it will be an awesome game and I can't wait till it gets released. Of course I'll be getting it for the 360 but ONLY because thats the system I chose to buy.
But I'm sure it will be just as good on the ps3.
ForceUnleashed @ Aug 15th 2007 12:43PM
I answered your idiotic statements in the other thread but I'll repeat myself so your dumb brain can absorb it all.
First off I've got a Wii and 360. I've bought games for both systems. Plenty enough for me.
2nd if you measure people's worth by how many games they have thats quite pathetic.
Last but not least I WILL be playing these games. Since I just bought a 360 I thought it wouuld be best to SAVE MY MONEY for the FUTURE TITLES coming out this fall and winter. I think it would be a waste to spend that money on old games that I can just rent. Is that so hard a concept to understand?
Perhaps instead of insulting people you should THINK.
And where did I ever say I was a "hardcore" gamer? The answer is NO WHERE.
Once again you sony fanboys make up shit.
Byron517 @ Aug 15th 2007 1:27PM
@19
Ok but while your paying for your game yearly! I'll be playing the same game at 1080p on a vastly growing FREE online community *cough cough* HOME which if Sony does it's part and pulls it off will pwn Live.. So before you make comments think thorougly!!
James @ Aug 15th 2007 1:56PM
Since it is on both systems, I will buy it for the 360. At this point, the only games I will buy for PS3 are the ones that I can't get on 360. Why is that? Because for the most part, the games always seem to look better on 360? Is it because I can ramp up my gamerscore? Or is it because everyone I know and their brothers own 360's, and that way I can play with them or against them online? Nope, none of these. I just hate the G#@ Da#&@d Playstation Controllers. Hated them since PS1, hated them even more with PS2, and continue to hate them on PS3. You can argue all day long over which system is better, but the 360 controller is hands down, far and away the best controller ever made. It's like having gaming heaven in your hands. The PS controllers are just too dinky for me. :P
aggrocrag @ Aug 15th 2007 2:16PM
x silence x,
Are you saying that the online play for COD4 is going to be better on the 360 because you're paying a monthly fee for it? While it's true that gamers aren't given many opportunies to go online with their games for the PS3, I don't see how it could be any better or worse on the Playstation 3.
James @ Aug 15th 2007 2:21PM
I must be the God of Gaming then. Because I own an original Atari 2600 with over 160 games. I also own a collecovision, an intellivision, a Turb-Grafx 16, the NES, 3DO, just about every version of the Gameboy, a Jaguar, a Lynx, the GameGear, PS1, PS2, PS3, Genesis, Saturn, 32X, SegaCD, Dreamcast, XBox, SNES, Wii, Virtual Boy, and XBox 360 with 54 games and another 70 XBLA games. I've also owned plenty of PC's, and your various Apples (IIc, IIe, MAC), Commodore 64, Amiga, etc. I have probably owned over 5,000 games in my lifetime. Which sadly explains why I have no life. :P
I do manage to find time to get outside and see the sunlight sometimes though :D
