Infinity Ward: Current Gen to last “three or four [more] years”
In an interview with Next-Gen.biz, Infinity Ward’s top dog Grant Collier has let it be known that he believes this generation of gaming will last until the beginning of the next decade.
I think COD4 is the first game of the second wave of next-gen titles, as COD2 was the first of the initial wave of next-gen games. When the games first started coming out I remember thinking, ‘oh my gosh, they look so realistic, they can’t possibly get more lifelike than this’, but then if you look at the games coming out now the photorealistic quality of them is so much higher that I’m kind of amazed.
I definitely think we have another three or four years left in this cycle, with people making games for the next-gen platforms.
Interesting. We are well aware of Sony’s desire for ten-year console cycles (as the PS2 obviously shows), and Nintendo has previously stated that they will not begin work on a new console until they feel they need to. As for Microsoft, rumors have been swirling since the summer that Microsoft has already begun the R&D on their next console.
