A new Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare gameplay trailer debuted during Sony’s big PS4 Pro reveal on Wednesday afternoon. Unfortunately, unless you’re curious to see how the game runs on the new hardware, there isn’t much to learn from our latest look at this year’s Call of Duty.
Seeing Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare at this week’s PlayStation Meeting wasn’t a huge shock, given the ongoing timed-exclusivity deal between Sony and Activision. It wasn’t even the biggest game at the show, thanks to a brief appearance from Horizon Zero Dawn, but added some much needed star power to what was an otherwise forgettable event. It also gave us a chance to see the upcoming shooter running on the upgraded PlayStation 4 hardware for the first time. Granted, we’ll be the first to say textures and graphical effects don’t seem much different when comparing streaming content. But some in attendance at yesterday’s PlayStation Meeting have suggested the difference is much clearer in person. So we’ll just have to wait and see.
Elsewhere, IGN published new details on the Zombies content being developed for Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare. According to the outlet, the latest iteration of Call of Duty’s beloved co-op mode is trying to be “as '80s as possible” in its latest outing, including guest appearances from David Hasselhoff and Paul Reubens. The post includes hands-on impressions, from last weekend’s Call of Duty XP event in Los Angeles, and the surprise revelation that the normal multiplayer weapons (which are all futuristic in Infinite Warfare) will also be used in Zombies mode. It’s a change that should be helpful for those trying to speed through the progression system but it sounds like the weapons seem out of place when surrounded by all the 80s decor.
For a quick look at Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare, running on the PS4 Pro, take a few minutes to check out the footage shown on Wednesday. Then head down to the comments section and let us know whether or not you’re planning to buy the upgraded PS4 before Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare hits store shelves in November.
Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare is in development for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC. The game debuts Nov. 11.
