We have already seen how the new Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War looks incredible, and that is that the official trailer showed us images directly taken from a PS5. Thanks to that, we already know what the new Call of Duty will look like on new consoles, however, it seems that there are still more surprises related to performance.
Cold War at 4K and 120 frames per second
Thanks to an interview conducted by Venture Beat with Treyarch co-director Dan Bunting, we now know that next-generation consoles will give it their all in the next installment of Call of Duty, since as the company has confirmed “we want to make sure that the frame rate responsive and feel like nothing technical is stopping you from having a good time. ”
These statements could pass as a basic reasoning in the launch of any game with a minimum performance that allows playing, however, it seems that his words must be understood in a certain context, and that is that the game will run at full speed on the new consoles.
Squeezing the new generation
And with full power we mean 4K resolution and 120 Hz , or what is the same, 120 images per second with which to enjoy maximum smoothness when moving around the map and shooting from one side to another. As if that were not enough, thanks to the use of SSD units, the loading times will be very fast, and it seems that the loading times between cinematics, moments of action and playing games will finally disappear. Do you remember when we talked about the PS5 features? Well, this is one of the great changes expected in the new generation.
They also talk about ray tracing technologies for global illumination, another extremely attractive point that will represent the great visual leap that PS5 and Xbox Series X will offer, and where obviously Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War will bet heavily. And yes, in addition to the visual, the new installment of Call of Duty will take advantage of the new technical advantages at the audio level, and with the new 3D audio technologies we will be able to identify sounds more easily and locate them in the environment.
A good reason to jump
Seen as seen, it seems that Call of Duty will squeeze the most of the new consoles from launch day, so it seems that it could be placed as an almost mandatory purchase for all those who go for the new PS5 or Xbox Series X from the first day. The good news is that there will be a cross-gen version that will allow you to play first on the current consoles and then make the jump to the new ones at no additional cost.
Nor will you have to worry about multiplayer, since if you or your friends do not jump to the new generation, you can continue playing multiplayer with all those who do it from the new PS5 or Xbox Series X regardless of the console you play. .
