Battlefield 4 in preview with bombast graphics thanks to Frostbite 3, but little innovation

Battlefield 4 is running at a 4K resolution, as PCG writes in its preview for the next DICE shooter.

why EA?

[LackTrue4K]

Wii u can't run battlefield 4 engine anyways.....

[--Onilink--]

its coming on 360 and PS3... so yeah, it can run it

[LOL_WUT]

Yea but it's a risky decision seeing how the Wii U isn't selling. ;)

[nthstew]

wii u ...wii u.. we will soon forget u.. so just wait for the pc or consoles versions anyway..
by the way wii is for kids..

[SnakeCQC]

wii u isnt a next gen console

[jams_shop]

You can still play it but it might have to be on PC or PS4/next xbox.

[Kurt Russell]

What the hell are you talking about women can't play this? Don't be stupid.

[KONAAs]

first of female in the front line if u become POW guess what ur gona be rapped, they gona perfor a train on evry single female soldier they capture,

[chukamachine]

There would not be enough sales on the wii.

Buy a PS4 or PC to play it.

[AllroundGamer]

milking milking... Desert Combat mod and BF2 are still the best :P

[AsheXII]

Really? So much talk and we cant even tell the difference

[SnakeCQC]

what? it looks sooooo much better

[Kinger8938]

Im underwealmed by it visually from a pc bf3 player, looks almost the same except this has a better gritty look to it but nothing majorly increased

But until we see it in the flesh it doesnt matter

Atleast this shows that for pc players, if u run bf3 well at the moment, we may not require any upgrades to play this at the same level

[KillerPwned]

I have to agree with Kinger here I was impressed from the footage but as a PC gamer I ran BF3 on Ultra. This does not look insanely better. It looks better without a doubt though in a sense. Some of the textures are cleaner. The biggest change I saw was character animations.

I am curious though how the PS3/PS4 version will look the footage we saw was on PC probably at the max it could do at this stage in the games development. It is a sign of comfort for current PC BF3 players though. They may have worked out the engine to be easier on hardware.

In the end this game looks fantastic as a huge BF fan myself. I will buy it for PC and probably PS4 at some point. I personally believe though we will see the true power of this new Frostbite Engine 3 when the next BF is released in the future.

EDIT: I am truly looking for innovation though this gen. I think we have reached that level of visual quality to be pretty satisfied with the outcome.

In my closing statement the game looked fantastic I cannot wait for it. As a battlefield game the little taste it gave me from the single player portion seems a lot better than BF3 SP. I am not saying this game does not have innovation but that is what I am looking for now graphics really don't mean much.

AsheXII u are a dumbass, bf4 us runing at 4K how the hell are u gona see a difference if u aint got a monitor that suports 4K, even if ur seen it on Hd on a screen its way different seen it on a 4k screen in person, stupid ppl you 2 Kinger8938 are an idiot

[AsheXII]

As far as i know you don't have a 4k Monitor either, how are you supposed to make such claims?

[KONAAs]

im not making no claim but its obvious 4K looks way better than current HD thats why a 4K tv is above $20,000 price tag, go to sony exibit to see them in person ull see what i mean, ur the one saying it looks stupid when u havent seen it in 4K

[coolmast3r]

Just cut off this stupid single-player campaign. And concentrate on multiplayer. Please.

[Blastoise]

We don't know how much innovation it will have. It's all about multiplayer isn't it? I imagine the campaign will be visually impressive but really boring like BF3.

[Hufandpuf]

Damn, 17 mins if singleplayer and people are already condemning the game -_-

[jacksheen0000]

They don't get it. Obviously, Dice showed us a single player demo because they wanted to show different stages of the game.

In a multilayer game, the player is only tied down to one level.

[gazgriff2k12]

derp derp derp i wanted pony's and a dancing minigame.
on a serious note ive only played bf3 and bf1943 on ps3 on 720p tv. battlefield 4 on my ps4 with 1080p tv is going to be a massive step forward for me. bf4 seems to be what bf3 should of been even though i loved it

[venom06]

Wow... how the f#*$# can you say no innovation from a damn 17min video... Haven't even played the damn game or the multiplayer portion... God these people are so stupid.. the game looked great..

[GABRIEL1030]

I bought Battlefild 3 Premium and It's great¡

But the 4 is very similar to B3, the same vehicles, history, enemies and scenarios like the desert and the dunes :( . The game looks great, but It's version is 3.5.

[lovegames718]

lol Funny i bet most of these same ppl asking for these drastic changes jizz in their pants when they see their favorite mascot from their system being in a sequel with the same boring mechanics and gameplay lol

[taquito]

the pc version will destroy everything else, this is pc game, made by pc devs, for pc gamers, and then, as an afterthough, quickly ported to consoles for the sheep money

its will be 720p on ps4 at best, 30 frames, sometimes lower, still have jaggies, at medium settings, short draw distance, 24-32 player cap

pc will be 1200p, 1440p, 1600p, ultra settings, 60 frames, no jaggies, huge draw distance
, 64-128 player cap

everything shown of bf4 has been pc,

lol....just like the entire ps4 presentation......

[saint_seya]

Im surprised, u have a high end rig in your cave?
Trolls using computer.. i never though it was possible.
