[David Pellas] It was always the intention. So what happened when were first started this project, we had to establish the visual bar we were going to hit for this remaster. The team did really did deep dive and figured out what we wanted to do and we were able to achieve that high bar and we started on the next maps. We quickly realized that we didn’t have enough time to do all 16 maps to that visual quality bar in the time that we had left in order to ship day and date with Infinite Warfare. So we worked with our partners at Activision, and we determined that we felt really confident that we could get the 10 maps done and get the bar that we wanted in that time frame. We decided that that is what we were going to focus on, but we had always planned on shipping the additional maps, but the timing just wasn’t right for it.
Activision had its biggest segment operating income second quarter and first half year, ever, with continued momentum on Call of Duty _ , including on catalog sales, __ Season Pass __ , map packs and micro-transactions, and continued engagement on Destiny
You mentioned you expanded on the scenes. How was the process of taking the MoCap that was already done from the original game and bringing it into this FPS game news? Did you have to redo any of it or could you basically just drop it in, add new textures and it work?
So we were very cautious about making significant changes to the core audio files, but unfortunately all of the audio done in the original were single channel wav files. So yeah think of how awesome it sounds. They were freakin’ masters over there to pull that out, but when you play that back today and you’re in a closed soundproof room and you’re listening to it you’re like ‘what the hell is this?’ Because it feels distorted, there’s no depth to it, no personality, no reverb, it lacked a lot. So we wanted to maintain that so we started with what was already there, as the single channel, and we built up from there.
In our ‘Shock and Awe’ you’ll actually see the first person hand come up and try to block the light that’s blaring into your eyes and the God-rays kinda come through your hand, and you’ll also see that in that moment before that guy gets sucked out you’re actually reaching to grab him because you can see him going and when he goes we’re not trying to change the narrative and create something that wasn’t really there, but we wanted to emphasize that that was supposed to be an emotional moment. IW intended for it to be an emotional moment so lets emphasize it a little bit, let’s do something more here. That’s one example of how we took the already cinematic game and made it even more natural and more emotional. Hopefully this roller coaster is going to feel familiar to gamers who have experienced it before, but feel modern and belong in the space today to people that may not have been exposed to it before.
As for abilities, both games are fairly similar. You have characters who specialize in healing, recon, dealing damage, and more. Their usefulness depends on how you use their abilities or utility, and while Fragpunk’s lancers are flashy and fashionable, some may prefer Valorant’s more tactical and low-key character designs. Of course, some agents like Clove, Reyna, and Phoenix are exceptions to t
We added reverb, we added depth to it, we added positional, we added a lot of ambient sound effects, and we added the ability that if you tossed a grenade near a sheet of metal the sound is going to ricochet off of it with that metal and if it’s wood it’s completely different. We also have a lot for the explosions of the grenades. For example yeah its got a great punch and boom and it’ll pop up, but listen because the rocks fall, and whatever the rocks hit that tings and you’ll hear the different tings around. So depending on where you’re at you’ll get that sound. So yeah there was a lot of great stuff used to emphasize what was already there, and a lot of great stuff was added for more personality and character. but yeah we started with what was there.

I agree that that’s classic, however, when we popped that in there it did not look good. It really looked dated and it didn’t feel like it belonged in this modern space with this game, especially with all the other improvements we made along the way. So we figured out what the timing was for the ADS and decided we could not deviated from that in our limits. Then we created the animation that moves up and it feels more natural because you connected to your weapon a little bit more and at the last minute if you noticed it, it still pops. We felt that that was an important part, but we ended up doing more of an animation into that. So those are just a couple of different ways we took that.
