I'm not a big fan of FPS, but this game has me salivating. Seems like it's going to be unmatched in the immersive department. Can't wait to get my hands on it.
I don't understand why is everyone jizzing in their pants for this,.. I mean I am a huge Battlefield fan for years and years,.. Hell I even got BC series,..
It looks great, but people are so overreacting to it,.. it is unbelievable ,... cannot wait to get it,.. but I for one do see kinda low polygon count on certain things,..I thought the tessalation would do more,..
Sorry macky, any true BF fan plays for MP gameplay. Graphics are just bonus. Precision bombing on enemy armor using an F-15E with the rest of your squad 20 feet away waiting to cap the flag. THAT is what it's all about. The fact that BF3 will even have a campaign at all is gravy on my bacon cheesburger cake.
Too bad the frostbite 2 engine can be recreated so easily by Trearch LOL. Its nice to see such attention to detail going into a quality product rather than rehashed COD game play.
i love the bullet destruction from the 50 i dont think that building was built to with very high standards. lol prone was kinda cool hopefully snipers will stop bitching. does this game have custom soundtrack?
Soundtrack? You're fighting in the midst of a war. The battle is your soundtrack! When playing online, sound is VERY important in BF (to hear sniper rounds passing by, approaching tanks, etc.). Music would just distract you and get you killed.
"i love the bullet destruction from the 50 i dont think that building was built to with very high standards."
not to rain on your parade, but no matter how high the standards on a building are, that 50. cal is gonna destroy that building. it would make more sense if you got to shoot a 50 .cal at a scrapped L.M.T.V (light military transport vehicle) yourself.
As amazing as this is, and coming from a visual addict like me it's looking amazing. I'd love to see a console example. You can make anything look good when you have unlimited power (ala a 3k pc rig) but how they optimize resources using their new engine and on limited hardware such as consoles and still manage to blow our minds will be a real treat in my opinion.
Yeah, I'd also like to know the specs of the rig they ran this gameplay trailer on.
My guess is it'll look real good on consoles. It will just be less than native 720P to make it happen (and likely won't have the extra-large map variants).
I'll be tempted to buy both. The PC version so I can have the big maps and extra player count, and the console version to play with my buddies (most of them only game on consoles).
You won't need a 3k PC to run this. By the time BF3 hits, a mid range PC should be capable of maxing it out. That's a 500 quid machine. It's already known that this demo is being run on a single GTX 580. I dare say that a 560ti will get similar results seen in this demo.
Oh I'm very aware of that Dom. I was just saying that how they optimize limited hardware such as consoles and how nice it looks on those consoles should theoretically be a bigger "wow" factor than on something the community knows will be amazing since pcs can be tweeked.
For Pc users the optimization of code to run on systems has come down to video card optimization, us pc users have not seen a cpu limited game in ages.
whats good about that is the fact the gpu manufacturers Nvidia Ati (intel sucks) have been releasing more and more supportive systems to help take advantage of the gpu in a few languages. OpenCL(ATI) CUDA(Nvidia) Physx(Nvidia) Stream(ATI) and dx11 pipelines. although the hardware is different, the SDKs are very supportive and heading in the same direction.
all of this means the pc is becoming a much easier platform to optimize your code to get 100 percent of the performance available. making it easier to game on a low-midrange pc
Most of Frostbite 3 runs a deferred renderer (on the CPU, this includes the lightning system - see http://publications.dice.se... In some respects, some parts beat the i7 in the PS3 version (e.g. culling)).
I also think, the res in that video is not too high - maybe intentionally to give it a softer look. It will look awesome on a PC, but I am sure the console version(s?) won't be far behind if at all. The lightning is what makes this game outstanding.
I remember the BFBC2 videos which were al PC related. When I got my PS3 copy, I was really dissapointed by the visuals and the campaign. I'm not jumping on that hype train again, only because of some short snippets of PC videos.
I am the 100% Uncharted fan. But I must say Uncharted 3 has some serious challenge here. Nice work DICE!
Let's see how Naughty Dog can make Uncharted 2 as "Child Play", according to their PAX comment. And see how they can compete this crazy Frostbite 2 engine.
I'd hope so. I throw R3 and KZ3 in here, too. This looks as good as those games. I hope Dice delivers - they use the same tech and seem to be willing to challenge those titles. At least someone tries! Go Dice!
seriously ... I can't stand the hype over this game, the graphics are good and has some amazing lighting and blur effects but nothing revolutionary here, its still just a military fps game been done hundreds of times, not hating or anything but honestly, this looks like another CoD-wannabe game.
"Chewy? Have you even seen Star Wars? -Armageddon. Meaning "are you serious?"
Have you ever played a Battlefield game before?!?
I will not harp on you if you are ignorant to the series because that wouldn't be fair, but just because it's a modern day military FPS please do not think this is COD....even COD fans would agree...
Yes, the game looks scripted like COD single-player but most of us, don't speak for all, are excited about the fact that this is a TRUE Battlefield game (thinking multi-player) on one badass "new and destructible" engine....something COD does not have....yes revolutionary...
It's like saying "Oh, Skyrim is just like Ultima, just another fantasy RPG" There is a huge technical difference between the two.
Were you expecting lightning bolts shooting out of Soldier's asses? I ask this in fun humor.
I don't know how true this is but people say that the game was seen running on a single GTX 580. I have no proof of this, just hear/say. If so, that's awesome.
They did give any yet!! But according to these GDC slides they want to optimze it for single & dual gpu setup for more power! & have very far draw distance!!
Wow some nice information, and yea we can play multi-player. I'm either going to go for the HD 6870 or gtx 560ti. I probably won't able to run on very high settings, but mid-range maybe? We will see.
Im sorry but the guy checking out his gun then turn around so realistic oh yes it's officially next gen!! @ 0:31 http://www.youtube.com/watc...
Their body movement is as good as LA Noires face Movement! I can't wait to see the hit reaction!! When you shoot objects chip!! not big ass chuck of wall like most games!! the smoke! the draw distance to the left!
ok no more pc fanboying 4 me today I just can't help it right now knowing there will be 64 players with those visuals it's just beyond what I imagined!!
I just love it when the guy slides you that AT4. IDK why. I guess its because most games just drop it on you or it magically transports to you. This game, he slid it in your direct direction and it had physics to it.

hey well now you learned something. thats what they call it in the army, but its actually this little thing called abbreviations.

I didn't really enjoy BC2 single player because it was too....open?
We'll leave the open sandbox business to the multiplayer.
As they've said in interviews before, the single player game is more of a training wheel exercise for the multiplayer where the big boys play.
Oh my, what am I reading those days. It was a corridor, except that part in atacama.
My hard drive is waiting for you my beloved BF

Finally people realize how SHITTY that game is compared to the Battlefield franchise which is much more mature and well put together.
