A new video by Candyland, who specialise is graphical comparisons, shows the differences between the Xbox 360 and Xbox One versions of Call of Duty: Black Ops III. The 360 version looks terrible, far worse than any CoD game on the system with jagged lines, low polygon models, and non existent textures.
Our favourite part is at 3m 55s seconds where a futuristic and menacing tank in the Xbox One version of the game has been replaced by a standard blue transit van in the 360 edition.
Now you could argue that the lower graphical quality is to keep the frame rate up, but the 360 version only runs at 30fps, every other previous CoD has been 60fps.

The headline picture made me laugh. Very clever.

I’m glad someone noticed :)

The bit around the 2 minute mark. Trouble drawing all that stuff on the other side of the window? Why not put a nice orange wall up instead? Problem solved.

Doesn’t matter how good the next gen versions look in comparison. They’re all pretty much an 8 year old formula in need of a major overhaul :)

Agreed. Though my neighbour is a huge fan of COD and I asked him today what Blops3 was like, his eyes lit up and he got all excited, professing the excellent gameplay mechanics and new graphics… I give up.

This belongs in ‘news that is not news’…. Current generation game graphically superior to last generation version.

I thought the exact same thing looking at the title, although I think bad sarcasm is to blame on the title :P

It’s more of an excuse to show how bad the 360 version looks rather than a comparison. I cant write “The Xbox 360 version is shit!” as a headline.

You should’ve!

The 360 version really isn’t that bad looking. None of the CoD’s on last gen looked particularly fantastic. I was surprised at just how muddy and dull some of Ghost’s maps were on the PS3.

Neither 360 nor One graphics look particularly brilliant.

The PS4 vs Xbone is more interesting. YAXOP (yet another Xbone Port)
Starman
YAXOP – You Angry Xboxone Outperformed PS4?
(couldn’t resist!)

are they sure they didn’t test the PS2 version by mistake? ^_^
