Eurogamer: "Just how much of a generational leap are the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 delivering in terms of the holiday season's hottest games? That's a topic Digital Foundry aims to explore this week as we return to some of Q4's biggest titles, stacking the current-gen versions up against their last-gen counterparts. Are they still good games, worthy of consideration if you've not upgraded? And just how much that is new and exciting is being delivered by the new wave of consoles? Built for PS4 and Xbox One hardware, Sledgehammer Games' new Call of Duty engine births a much-needed tech revolution in the series. Top-end features like enhanced motion capture, subsurface scattering, and a physical-based approach to lighting all make the cut. It's a surprise, then, to find Xbox 360 and PS3 versions also on the shelves - but does the culling of these features leave the core gaming experience intact, or is the end product a very different game?"
