Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II Developers Infinity Ward, Activision Shanghai Dive into Dark Wate
Twenty-four hours after the pulse-pounding reveal of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II, the community got its first look at one of the game’s Campaign levels: Dark Water.
The Dark Water video is known as a “vertical slice” in game development: an internal “playable demo” that serves as a major pre-release milestone. It showcases a small game portion in its intended final state, highlighting core features, visuals, audio, and overall player experience for the studio, its publisher and – in this case – millions of fans to see what these developers want to make a reality everyone can enjoy.
“The animation team has to create the animations for the characters, boats, and faces. The lighting team has to go in there, light everything, and make sure you can see what’s going on. The VFX and Tech Art guys did the water and atmosphere… And even at the beginning, we created a concept paint-over that was our end goal of the look and feel of everything.” – Candice Harris, a Senior Producer at Infinity Ward.
If this was a traditional media piece – a film or TV show – the process would end there… But for a video game, it’s about making this realistic world playable, too.
