Battlefield 3 - 'There's no difference' between singleplayer and multiplayer graphics

SystemLink: "After the barrage of quotes from the Don't Revive Me Bro podcast yesterday, the floodgates are starting to open on Battlefield 3 information. Alan Kurtz, aka Demize99, answered a fan question to reveal that there will be no graphical downgrade when hopping online."

i belive this for PC,but i don't belive that graphics are same on consoles

[mandf]

Killzone 2 and 3 did this. I don't see why they can't. Why do you not believe it? No disrespect just asking a simple question.

[fluffydelusions]

I think KZ SP looked better than the MP but not by much.

[ShoryukenII]

The graphics will be the same but the animations won't. They said that the action must match the result. So it might be more like Red Dead Redemption deaths. In that game the single player guys always fired a last shot before they died (like in a western movie). But in multiplayer, they just died.

[BeastlyRig]

Well it depends maybe they didn't raise the level of graphics higher in sp to keep it the same in mp on console.

BF3 has a lot going on! nothing is pre rendered so if you mention kz3 or mag think of that fisrt..

[NarooN]

What was pre-rendered in KZ3? Pretty sure everything was done in real-time on that as well.

i'll believe when i play it :D
killzone 3 SP and MP looked the same, but in MP, you cant slide :C

I can't wait for the beta...lol...this should be funny. I wonder what kind of excuses they will come up with. Of course, I'm still waiting to see some console footage longer than a couple of minutes. The excuse will be something like this...

...I don't know what people were expecting. Our game is no different that any other. The multi-player requires more resources hence it looks " different " than the more linear, scripted environment of the single player...where did we ever say differently...0_o

[Miiikeyyy]

Go back to playing COD, you're not welcome to play BF3 if you have that tone.

[Moragami]

Maybe they're referring to the only relevant version of BF3, the PC version.

[Fishy Fingers]

With BF3, they probably designed the 'levels' to act as both MP and SP. I dont expect any single player levels that arent just like the multiplayer maps.

[MidnytRain]

I don't think so. Most multiplayer maps make bad single player campaigns and vice-versa. Some changes will have to be made for balance.

[Sinterfire]

That's good news. I hope this is true for console. My PC is dead ATM :( Regardless I'll still buy this game.

[thekiddfran]

uh oh here we go again!!

[Spinal]

This game is gonna rock my PC.

[Miiikeyyy]

You mean like, You'll put it in and your PC won't be able to handle it so it'll start shaking and making weird noises right? ;)

[Spinal]

LOL Exactly! xD it might get up an run off scared.

[Rashonality]

This game in gonna f**k my PC.

[Spinal]

With no rubbers!

[Venjense]

I doubt that's entirely true

It depends on how you define graphics - I include framerate, effects and animation in that.

[PhantomT1412]

From what I've seen of the multiplayer, if it didn't have HUD I'd make no difference between it and the singleplayer. The scale's so huge, the animations even "simplified" are detailed enough that I would've swear it was a single-player mission:
