New Call of Juarez game suggested in Ubisoft

Ubisoft recently sent out an email asking players of Call of Juarez: The Cartel to rate specific parts of the game, and regardless of whether the responses all sum up to "This game is suxorz," it suggests that a sequel is already in the works. The survey asks players which console they own, which Call of Juarez title is their favorite, how they would rate The Cartel's graphics, cut-scenes and "being part of a team but having my own interests come first," among other questions.

Ubisoft then asks which which of the following (eerily specific) aspects players would want to see in a new Call of Juarez title:

•Hunting an outlaw in the rocky mountains

•Defending a ranch attacked by Mexican pistolleros

•Preventing a bank robbery

•Rescuing an innocent man about to be hanged up

•Taking part in a shooting contest

•A gun duel in the empty main street of a town against your worst enemy

•Guarding a fort against a group of outlaws

•Helping a man to escape from the sheriff's office

•Defending a train attacked by Native Americans on horses

•A gunfight in a saloon after a poker game

•Preventing outlaws from pillaging a gold mine

•A fusillade between lawmen and outlaws

Grab your guns and saddle up -- this could be a very bumpy ride.

Infinity Ward defiende el motor gráfico de Modern Warfare 3


"He trabajado en montones de engines gráficos a lo largo de mi vida, y este es un Porsche".
 

Glen Schofield, ejecutivo de Infinity Ward, ha hablado con el portal ComputerandVideogames sobre los entresijos del desarrollo del esperado Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, y han detallado algunos aspectos sobre el polémico motor gráfico.



"Bueno, te diré una cosa. He trabajado en montones de engines gráficos a lo largo de mi vida metiéndoles gráficos, y este es un Porsche", declaró Schofield. "Y lo que quiero decir con ello es que es muy directo, todo es perfectamente limpio. Puedes notar que tiene un trabajo de años detrás, es fácil de mejorar".



"Hemos trabajado con motores en el pasado que eran un absoluto desastre. No podías trabajar en una parte y devolverla atrás sin estropear alguna otra cosa. Los niveles de Modern Warfare 3 son mucho mayores que los antiguos porque son mucho más verticales, tienen mayor tamaño, mayor fidelidad, más texturas y mucho más detalles".



"Si pones Modern Warfare 2 al lado de Modern Warfare 3 verás una enorme diferencia. Echa un vistazo a los modelados de los personajes, a los de las armas, a los reflejos, a las aguas... Hay tanto que hemos añadido que cuando alguien habla de que es un `copia-pega´ directamente no le dirijo la palabra. No sabe nada, es tan sencillo como eso... No tienen ni idea", comentó el ejecutivo.
