Digital Foundry | Call of Duty: Modern Warfare's engine revamp promises a generational leap in fidelity
Hands on with Infinity Ward's most advanced technology yet.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare goes official today with a reveal trailer giving us our first glimpse of the look, feel and content of the new game - a COD offering somewhat different to anything we've seen to date. Developer Infinity Ward is targeting a soft reboot of sorts for the Modern Warfare franchise: a Casino Royale-style revamp that transports beloved characters like Captain Price into the battlegrounds of the here and now, whether it's the enduring nightmare of Middle Eastern war zones or eliminating domestic terror cells in central London, it's a big tonal shift for the series - often gritty, harrowing and even shocking in places. From a technological perspective, the trailer demonstrates a radical revamp of COD's rendering technology and the trailer revealed today is running in real-time on PlayStation 4 Pro. No CG fakery, no 'in-engine' footage - what you see is what you get, and it's a new milestone for the franchise.

Digital Foundry | In Theory: Could the Sony/Microsoft cloud partnership end the console war?
Why would rival platform holders join forces - and what does it mean for gamers?
Genuine shocks in the games industry tend to be few and far between, but who could have predicted last week's announcement that Sony would be partnering with Microsoft to build the next generation of its cloud gaming operation?

Recommended | Blood & Truth review - a VR trip to the Ritchieverse that's filled with charm
Reloading screen.
I don't know if you can recall playing cops and robbers in the school playground as a kid. I'm old, so it's all getting a bit hazy for me. What I can remember is that there was always one kid who fetishized reloading. Other kids would be taking cover and pulling off imaginary headshots, but there was one kid who wanted to do the whole bit, as it were, crouched behind an elephant see-saw, risking desperate glances at his mortal enemies by the drinking fountain, ramming home another round of imaginary bullets. Sixteen in the clip, as Warren G once put it, and I'm pretty sure he was talking about guns.
