angelsx3854d ago

Thanks men.I downloading now.1,6gb

zeee3853d ago (Edited 3853d ago )

What is going on? I can't see it anywhere. Can't find it while my friend have already downloaded it.

Edit: Ok, so for some reasons, I couldn't find it on PSN Store, on PS Blog or on my BF3 Premium account (in-game store). My friend told me he found the link on the blog that has since been removed. He had followed the link from the blog that allowed you to 'send the demo to PS3'. Anyway, I then signed into PSN Store again (on my PS3), searched for BF4 and there it was, the new TRY FREE DEMO link and then I clicked it and the download has started. Hopefully, it'll all go smooth from here on. See you all on the battlefield! :)

RVanner_3853d ago

Yeah PC is 5.5GB ish.

Downloaded ready for tonight.

Devilbringer3853d ago

thx i found it there, but theres no Download button :( and it says unavaiable under the picture:/

Skate-AK3854d ago (Edited 3854d ago )

Not live in the US for PS3. 3-7 PM PDT it will be.

MooseWI3854d ago

Oh wow why so late? Anyway, been playing on PC but getting the worst server latency and lag had to stop. Seems like everyone is though. Most people that is.

TekoIie3854d ago

When that tower falls my framerate does the same :/

KiLLeRCLaM3854d ago

working fine for me..Must be the server you're picking make sure you got low latency :P

Reverent3854d ago

@KiLLeR, no, the game is messed up right now. TONS of people are complaining on the forums. Constant lag spikes are common for at least 90% of people playing.

TekoIie3854d ago

Found out what the problem was! Make sure you have the Radeon or Nvidia beta driver.

Runs perfect now :D

evilbart3854d ago

I found it on the ps store but it just says 'unavailable to purchase'
Do you need to have preordered it or something?

kparks3853d ago

No u need to have a code from medel of honor warfighter u cant get it till the 4th..

titletownrelo3853d ago

You can have either a Premium Sub or a MOHW code to get into the "exclusive" (early access) beta.

kparks3850d ago

Well i had premium and it told me to wait till the 4th so whatever!

Cogan13854d ago

Well that was obscure to find! You have to go to the all demos part of the demos section of ps store to locate it. Doesn't show on the main latest demos page.

harbie3853d ago

Thanks that helped me find it :)

kaozgamer3854d ago

feels like bf3.5. graphics havent changed much apart from higher res textures. for people with a 7870 expect an average of 35-45 fps in that city map.
cant really comment on gameplay because i havent played enough of it yet. the map design (city) is kinda cool.

Reverent3854d ago

Try playing it on PC. The game is freaking beautiful. If you can get passed the horrible frame-rate drops that are plaguing it at the moment.

annus3854d ago

Unless the consoles magically now have a 7870 and can see their framerate I'd say kaozgamer is gaming on a PC.

kaozgamer3854d ago

Yep I played this on pc. maxed out. Yeah I keep getting random frame drops as well.

HeyImBen113854d ago (Edited 3854d ago )

... hes talking about a 7870 and 35-45 fps so he'sobviously talking about the pc version.

Kleptic3854d ago (Edited 3854d ago )

Have you tried the beta driver updates? Not sure about Nvidia, but the AMD catalyst update is said to help with AMD cpu scaling for the beta...

the frame drops are most likely cpu scaling related...not your gpu...so I don't know if nvidia drivers will fix this for guys with different cards...but if you're running an AMD cpu, the catalyst suite update is helping according to some guys on battlelog...

I'm only a premium member on PS3, and i'm not bothering pre-ordering that special addition or whatever for PC...just getting straight up pc version and premium...so i have to wait until friday to try out the pc beta....

FullmetalAlchemist3854d ago

I've been playing it on pc in ultra settings and it literally looks just like bf3. Not that bf3 looks bad or anything its just not leaps and bounds above it like some people are making it out to be.

Vladplaya3853d ago

What game are you playing? The game does not look any better than BF3. Just slightly different models and textures, but its about the same, heck I think weapons look worse compared to BF3.

BF3.5, more like 2.5. Dunno why you got downvoted, you are correct. On PS3 the graphics are TERRIBLE. Doesn't play too well either. It just froze up on me there. Back to BF3 until BF4 comes out on PS4, hope its a lot better on PS4.

Battlefield 1, Hardline, BF4 Servers Are Being Taken Offline by Cheaters; EA Silent on Issue

Cheaters & hackers have been causing grief on Battlefield 1, Hardline & BF4 servers, with nonstop DDoS attacks among other things. Unfortunately, EA has remained silent about it.

-Foxtrot753d ago

Course they are silent, they are hoping people flock to 2042

gamesftw250752d ago

Maybe it was a inside job then haha.

jeromeface752d ago

wouldnt be the first time, titanfall 1+2 anyone?

PapaBop752d ago

Not even if they paid me.. EA always do this with old games with less money potential, if this was Ultimate Team, they'd address and sort it faster than stories could spread. Why invest time in their products when they will just dump it in the following years? Then again EA never could see the forest for the trees.

Inverno752d ago

I imagine after those games were given out for free a couple months back through Amazon, anything that makes people go to 2042 is a plus for them

XiNatsuDragnel753d ago

They want people to go on 2042. My theory

excaliburps752d ago

Nah. I think they can't do anything about it or they want to sink money into fixing it.

Pudge102888752d ago (Edited 752d ago )

EA owns all BF servers so yes, they can do something about it but they refuse to because they dont want ppl playing their old games instead of the new one. Its EA we’re talking about here

pr33k33752d ago

if this happened in 2042, they'd have something to say. which is weird, considering battlefield 1 has more players on steam right now.

Pudge102888752d ago

Its so obvious that EA is doing this or hired ppl to mess up the games so that we’d be forced to have just 1 Battlefield working.

FPS_D3TH752d ago

Honestly it’s probably the devs themselves. They did an update to bf4 way back that kinda made assault rifles doo doo in hopes that people would flock to BF1 cuz BF4 was too perfect

There's a bunch of great shooters on gamepass; both legacy and new.

A recommendation I have is a work in progress preview title called Anacrusis. It's a lot of fun, and has a cool aesthetic.
