Check Out Four Minutes of Battlefield 4 Xbox One Gameplay, Showing the New Zavod 311 Map

Xbox One footage of Battlefield 4 is sure hard to come by nowadays (even because Electronic Arts tends to swat it down as soon as it gets uploaded), but the game is being showcased at the Microsoft booth at the Igromir trade show in Russia, and a fairly long video of its gameplay finally appeared.

[GarrusVakarian]

Ive had enough of off-screen gameplay lately from every next gen game. Give me some direct feed!

[Abriael]

Sure, lemme call EA right away :D

[Ezz2013]

***Sorry,you are trying to reach EA..,they are not ready to take your call now,...please don't try again later***

[MiHX2]

This is EA,please don't ask us for a real Xbox One gameplay,We hate it.Dont reply.

[0ut1awed]

I can just give you some recorded gameplay of BF4 on my PC if you would like. It runs at 60+fps just like the next gen consoles.

Although I'm playing in 1440p, 4x the 720p resolution of PS4/X1.

So maybe it would just disappoint you. :P

[thehitman]

Thats nice outlawed what gpu u running it on?

[0ut1awed]

@thehitman

Thanks man. It's funny to see the disagrees because I wasn't really hating on consoles. I was merely trying to provide gameplay that's more representable of what you will see on the X1/PS4. I have a PS4 on preorder and I will probably buy BF4 for it just so I can stream it to my Vita. Hell I didn't even have a decent gaming rig until two years ago.Before then I was pretty much just on the PS3/360.

The system specs are...
3930k @ 4.8ghz under custom water loop
Asrock x79 extreme6 mobo
Corsair Vengence 16gb DDR3 ram
GTX 780 @ ~1150mhz clock
240gb mushkin chronos SSD
Corsair hx1050w PSU.

@out1awd

AFAIK you can't because YouTube is limited to 1080/60fps

Unless you provide another way like a direct download

I myself would love to watch it, my brother will play it on PC and he would be very interested

[0ut1awed]

Well you're close and kind of right.

Youtube is sadly currently limited to 30fps. But like you said I can just provide a download link which you could watch on your own computer up to 60fps. That's what a lot of youtubers have been doing to show exactly what 60fps is like, by just adding DL links to the description.

Also youtube can output 1440p now, although it won't matter if you aren't on a 1440p+ monitor. For example, check the quality...

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

Only problem is the BF4 beta seems to not want to let screen capture programs run. Really weird because that's the first time I've ever had that issue in any game.

If I figure it out I'll try and provide you with a download link. I'll have to message you seeing this is my last bubble though.

[Cyb3r]

@ Lukas agreed 1000%

[angelsx]

Here is more gameplay with better video http://youtu.be/WEFiQt0nBQA

[PFFT]

Thanks

[BX81]

Looks great to me!

[KwietStorm_BLM]

Off screen and not even HD. Was this recorded with a flip phone?

[OhMyGandhi]

gameboy camera, to be precise.

[Syntax-Error]

Someone please get this commie off the controller. Not only did he throw a grenade at his teammate 10 seconds into the match, but he cant stop running into walls.

[ATi_Elite]

You know I too am sick and tired of off screen video.

first, all BF4 xb1 gameplay was PC using Xbox controllers
now all the darn footage is off screen.

Microsoft needs to grow a pair and show what the XB1 can do.

[GuyThatPlaysGames]

The only improvement I can see in this video is increased framerate, which is something the BF series desperately needed!

[Tzuno]

Fucking agree.

[venom06]

man.. this game is gonna be AWESOME @ 60FPS and 64 man servers.. bring on next-gen!

[xKugo]

Even with next-gen Xbox, it's still missing AF, ambient occlusion, coupled with some poorly used AA(looks like MSAA?) and motion blur. Textures are piss poor(like seriously god awful) and the frame-rate is choppy, but that one is probably the video, which is once again not direct-feed. The PC beta right now even with everything on low settings is slightly better than this(I tested all the settings myself). Footage I've seen of the PS4 version is looking noticeably better. It's not even close right now...

[GarrusVakarian]

You must have super human vision to tell that it has poor AA from off-screen footage.

"The PC beta right now even with everything on low settings is slightly better than this"

Lol.

Why come into a console article and spout your PC elitist BS? Does it make you feel better inside?

[Abriael]

Yeah I was kinda wondering how he could. The textures aren't great, but we already knew that, but I don't see very evident jaggies besides what can easily be due to youtube compression.

At the very least the map looks good. I can't wait to see how it changes. I mean, in shanghai you can blow up a skyscraper. On the tropical island a typhoon comes. I wonder what happens here.

[Software_Lover]

I thought that maybe he was a member of CPS and uses his implants like the chic in Continuum.

[xKugo]

Not really.
It's quite easy to see poorly utilized AA when you've been playing on Ultra settings for a few months. I see jaggies everywhere; i.e the backend of the primary weapon(AK-12), the tanks(which are still lacking adequate shaders and shadows), wall edges within the building, railings on the stairs, exc. exc.

@Abriael
YouTube compression has very little effect on great AA usages(such as strong SSAA or MSAA),definitely not to the degree that it would take a great looking game and make it look like the horse-shit you see above. That's just not probable. Btw, you don't need a computer made by NASA to play games on Ultra. Somebody could quite easily spend 900+ usd on a PC build and play BF4 at 1080p@60fps on Ultra settings and continue to game at a much higher level than the consoles will ever reach. The only reason people like me spend as much money as we do(I spend $4000+) is for longevity and enthusiast reasons.

Heck the graphics I see RIGHT NOW, are the type that even the PS5 won't reach. Amazing games like the Witcher 3, The Division, Dragon Age: Inquisition and Batman: Arkham Origins are going to be significantly inferior on consoles, especially Batman as you can't even play it on next-gen hardware. Witcher 3?, you'll be lucky if you play that at 720p/60fps just because of how punishing The Witcher series can be on hardware. I still love the PS4(have it pre-ordered) but it's a common fact that it can't keep up. Period.

[0ut1awed]

WTF Kugo?

"The only reason people like me spend as much money as we do(I spend $4000+) is for longevity and enthusiast reasons. "

And yet just a day ago in another article you told me this...

"Are you planning on running dual or trip monitors because if not, a 2nd 780 is a waste."

???

I am running in 1440p and I barley get over 60fps on games out today, much less in 6+ months time. My monitor is clocked at 96hz so it's capable to output 96fps.

I agreed with most of what you said above. Still your comment from the other article mixed with your bubble rating makes me think you've been spewing some serious misinformation somewhere.

Something I did not agree with though is...

"Heck the graphics I see RIGHT NOW, are the type that even the PS5 won't reach"

That's naieve and stupid. The current gen consoles will be out for a solid 8+ years before we see a refresh.

Trust me a know as better than most how truley powerful PC gaming can be today. Even so, to say that the next gen consoles in 8+ years won't have comparable performance at the least is just naive. They will actually probably have full 4k support for gaming. Almost nothing excpet say a Titan can do 4k gaming currently. Even then a single Titan can only push 20-30fps at 4k in most current games.

[abusador]

Your full of &hit and no one believes you.

[BigShotSmoov007]

I see why you only got 2 bubbles cause that rubbish you speak about the PS4 looking better is just laughable. Just realize that they look both the same and they both look beautiful.

[Abriael]

I agree that it looks quite good. I'd say comparable to mid settings on PC. Not surprisingly since you need a PC made by NASA to run all Ultra.

[Allsystemgamer]

@abraeil

Not true. My friend is running with on ultra at 45-60 fps on ultra with a 570. He built this desktop a few months ago and it only cost him $700. So no. You don't need NASA pcs to run the game.

[Kayant]

Back to the cave with you...

[drsfinest72]

Leave this guy with only one bubble! U don't deserve to comment more than twice per article

[gamer2013]

PS4 version better? I don't think so troll.

http://gamerthumb.com/2013/...

Check out the escalator in the PS4 version.

[PFFT]

That looks ugly! But to be fair its only a beta. Im pretty sure the end product will look great on both systems.

[ado908]

Thats the ps3 version......

[Sirlancealot]

@GAMER2013 WOW that is the worst piece of trolling I have seen anywhere. Worse than those that say that Forza 5 looks better than Drive Club. You take the Ps3 version of BF4 and then say look at the escalator on the PS4 version, I don't think its better than the xbone. Yo slow down that's all I gotta say

[TKCMuzzer]

There is no PS4 version in that comparison. It's a mid range PC v PS3 beta article. I have no idea why you linked that article.

This is one of the first lines "Here at Gamer Thumb, we’ve put together a brief comparison between a mid-range PC and a PS3 to see how well each handles the Battlefield 4 beta"

[sync90]

That's for the ps3 not the ps4. get a clue xbot!

[DrJones]

That is the PS3 version...

[EastBayPunk]

Don't listen to this dude.. I'm a PC gamer and this looks way better than PC on low... I'd say somewhere in between medium and high.. but it looks great to me

[BallsEye]

Looking at your history, you like ps4 a lot. Good for you!

[KwietStorm_BLM]

Yawn

[static5245]

Couldn't even watch the whole video. Watching the person play was killing me. Just wanted to push him out of the way and take the controller.

[TKCMuzzer]

It was painful, even the stairs caused a problem...

[Abriael]

I'll bet you the dude is used to Mouse and Keyboard, since in Russia most play on PC. You notice it by how jerky his aim motions are.

That's a telltale sign of someone that isn't used to aim with a controller.

[0ut1awed]

Exactly. Good observation.

[KwietStorm_BLM]

Maybe he just doesn't play shooters.

[Software_Lover]

I really, REALLY, think the PC has spoiled me.

PS4 and XBone have some good looking games, but nothing has wowed me visually as of yet. It's not a knock on the two consoles, but I just haven't been blown out of my seat wowed as some on N4G have.

I'll stick to that platform for this game, and probably Titan Fall also.

[alexkoepp]

Consoles much better, I buy game on PC took look at the graphics, then buy the X360 of the game to actually play lol, battlefield and crysis 3 look great, but I'll have the 360 version thank you very much

[Abriael]

Because games are more fun when they look worse.

Good call.

[GarrusVakarian]

" buy game on PC took look at the graphics, then buy the X360 of the game to actually play lol"

You..actually do that?

Wow.

[alexkoepp]

Yeah, I like to see the graphics, however, who the F plays PC games? No one - I'd rather play with my friends graphics aren't everything

I own a high end gaming PC, obviously I can afford 2 copies of the same game, I'm not broke like all those guys who complain about a $100 price difference

[Abriael]

"who the F plays PC games? No one"

You just said something really, really silly. I hope you realized it after pressing "add reply".

[alexkoepp]

Hmmm, I've got a decent number of friends - one plays PS3, none of them are PC gamers, and many are Xbox 360. These are actually people I know, not people I met on a server and am "friends" with.

In my life experiences, no one PC games. I play starcraft and buy the pretty games, I'd consider myself to only actually play starcraft though.

[Scatpants]

I agree, I only know 1 other person that really plays PC games, butalmost everyone I know has a console. If you don't mind just playing with people you meet on the internet PCs are cool, but if you actually want to play with friends consoles are where it's at. I have a gaming PC and I bought Battlfield 3 for it and a copy for 360. I played on PC for a while, but played on 360 way more.

[MidnytRain]

Why would you even do that?

[EastBayPunk]

Have you ever looked at the server browser for F3 on PC? a shit ton of players play it.. I'd say maybe more than both consoles put together.. that being said.. this video looks good and I'll have it on PC and PS4

[alexkoepp]

Lets take Battlefield for example: (vgchartz)

X360: 7.05M
PS3: 6.62M
PC: 2.48M

So the user base for this game is 5x as many on console as PC. That is why I say no one plays PC, it's hardly even comparable

[Dante81]

VG doesn't count digital sales.

[Rynocirator]

Battlefield 3 sold more on pc, VGcharts doesn't count digital sales, which, 90% of PC users do. There are also more people on any given day playing on steam, and steam alone; mind you that is excluding things like mmos and free to play social games, than both current gen consoles combined. As for friends, you say you can't have friends on a PC but that is 150 million percent wrong. Maybe you, and your friends, should get educated about the wonders of a PC and stop thinking like it is for people without friends.

[GarrusVakarian]

Killzone SF has wowed me visually, RYSE has too. I imagine everyone will be wowed when Naughty Dog show their next game though.

[Caleb_H]

Dude, it was f*cking off screen footage in 480p. Take any pc game and record it with some bootleg camera at horrible angles and it will look like sh*t. You totally missed the point of the video, it's not about graphics it's about the fact that xbox one has now officially been seen playing bf4. Although we have no real way of knowing if it was actually an xbox based off the video.

[Software_Lover]

Even the direct footage, with the exception of maybe Forza, hasn't just wowed me. The games look good, but like I said, nothing just spectacular as of right now.

[Caleb_H]

@Software_Lover Your reply once again completely misses the point. The video has nothing to do with the graphics. If you're gonna argue PC vs. Console, at least do it in a forum where it is relevant, not on the comments section of an xbox one article.

[Dante81]

That doesn't count digital sales.

[LiQuiZoN]

Killzone shadow fall.

If you need wow then you have to bypass all third party devs. Yes I have an absurd PC too, but kill zone is impressive.

[Niv]

Can't they give us an uncompressed video to download?

Epic allowed us to down lowed their elemental tech demos uncompressed.

What is MS hiding?

[Abriael]

If you reason like that, the same Sony is hiding, since they're not providing "an uncompressed video to download" as well.

But of course I'm just feeding...

[Ticklez]

i have yet to see a next gen video of a player that knows what youre doing haha

[SwiftArsonist]

so you guys judge gameplay footage captured with a cam or phone and automatically is garbage? this generation of gamers is trash

[Scatpants]

Kind of a shame that all of the foliage appears to be motionless after seeing how good the foliage looks in AC4.

[EastBayPunk]

you're comparing a map that has a storm as it's levolution to a bright sunny day on an inland map

[famoussasjohn]

He's also comparing a game made by another developer as well.

[Shane Kim]

These PC fanboys are starting to irritate me more than the xbots.

[TechMech2]

All fanboys annoy me

[okmrman]

so what about the ps fanboys?

oh wait...youre one

[Animal Mutha 76]

The Sony fanboys are by far and away the worse. The venom they have toward MS this gen is staggering, trolling all over the Internet wherever Xbox news is posted. GAF and N4G is now a Sony gang bang. It's very hard to be objective anywhere now. The only site where I can have a balanced conversation is beyond3d because it's mods are strict.

If I didn't know any better it's almost like they seem threatened by MS. PS4 is good enough to stand on its own two feet without the army of Internet soldiers jumping on anything Xbox related.

The disagrees and/or abuse I will get for posting this will just prove my point :)

[boneso82]

Painful to watch, not just because of the low quality image but because the guy playing has either never played an fps before, is retarded or only has one hand... No other logical explanations.

[fullmetal297]

Glad to see the Xbox one beta looks to be running smoothly unlike the PC. The PC beta is an absolute mess right now. I have a gtx 670 and it is running with choppy frames even I when toned down the settings to medium.

[Allsystemgamer]

BETA drivers. My friend has a 570 and has a stable 45-60 fps. There may be other conflicts as well.

My 780m runs it at 60fps - 75fps depending on the area.

[cellfluid]

Y is it that the ones who r displaying these games always Suckkkkk

[hduce]

I'm not trying to make this a competition about what company makes the better processor but what processor are you using? I am running the game with 8350 fX overclocked to 4.8 ghz I am also using GTX 680 4gb Classified SLI to be able to get 80 - 120 frames per second on ultra no v sync @ 1080p.

[urwifeminder]

Looks ok but pc for battlefield unless a bad company returns.

[ziggurcat]

is it me or did that not really look that good? i mean, i know it's off screen, and youtube, but i seem to recall the PS4 footage looking a lot better than what we're seeing here.

[JackISbacK]

im not a fan boy but i noticed stable frames per second and higher textures and shades in xbox version ,but in ps4 version there were more activities going on thats why i am not completely sure what ,will hapeen there when there be storms amd more players in one map?but we will be able to compare better when both consoles will release and i will go with best one out of both.

[SizzlingChaz]

I managed to play this game at Eurogamer the other week. Apparently we were the first to try the game on an xbox one. I have to say it was a fantastic experience and really does put the beta to shame. I am extremely disappointed with the current gen beta considering what I saw at the expo.

[Animal Mutha 76]

Totally agree.

I also played at EGX. 64 X1s in 2x 32 plyr matches was an amazing site.

This game runs like a train. Great demo.

[SizzlingChaz]

Yeh I have to say that Battlefield 4 and Titanfall were the highlights of the event for me. Can't wait for BF4 on next gen. 15 minutes of it has left me desperate for more!

[SITH]

I just played the xbox 360 version, and then the PC version. I expected a huge difference. It was way larger than that though. Can't wait to compare the xbox one version to the PC with my own eyes.

[famoussasjohn]

Release this map in the beta! :D
I'm growing tired of the Shangai map already lol.

[Rynocirator]

So, basically it looks like Battlefield 3 on medium quality on PC?
