The hands-on preview for Battlefield 4 was running on visible Xbox One hardware. However, all the extensive publicity surrounding these upcoming consoles has had a counteractive effect when coming face-to-face with the launch window titles. Perhaps it’s not a shortfall directly relatable to the hardware.
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.
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.
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
Nah. I think they can't do anything about it or they want to sink money into fixing it.
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
if this happened in 2042, they'd have something to say. which is weird, considering battlefield 1 has more players on steam right now.
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.
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
The shooter genre is one of the most beloved videogame genres in the gaming community, and rightfully so. From DOOM Eternal to Battlefield 4, passing through The Outer Worlds, the Xbox Game Pass has a lot to offer when it comes to amazing shooter experiences. Come check out some great shooter games available on Xbox Game Pass!
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.
KeenGamer: "Sometimes a game starts out as a buggy mess and we all just stop and think, “that definitely could have spent a bit more time in the oven”. This is the case for these 5 games which infamously marked their place in recent game memory."
More bad news about the graphical accomplishment that is the console version of BF4. Watered down significantly on the consoles when compared to any capable PC counter-part. Something I find interesting is that the PS4 has a comparable GPU pretty much right in-between a 7850 and 7870, with a CPU most likely clocked at 1.6 Ghz. I'm not fully understanding how a 7850 running BF4 at medium settings can't run this game at 1080p/60fps. I mean the PS4 makes great use of GPGPU in it's advanced processing unit design, which really off-loads a lot of task generally taken by the CPU. I don't know if the CPU is terribly so slow that it's still bottle-necking the GPU or simply there just weren't enough resources available to make the version that way, but it just isn't a great start to the "next-generation" of consoles.
Pretty sure any Radeon 78xx in a PC, maybe equipped with an i3 quad-core processor could run 1080p/60fps at medium settings just fine. Really strange to me, but whatever I guess. Just sucks for PS4 owners..
On Topic: Good to know Xbox version keeps solid 60; means PS4 does the same.
Looks like the sound on the X1 may be a strong feature. It was spoken of a lot in Forza, Ryse, and now battlefield.
its not optimized yet. the problem is dice shows off this game running on PC architecture on machines few people have, and we get our hopes up too high.
it'll still be great on next gen, just not amazing.
I play bf3 on ultra settings. I will play bf4 on ultra settings. You will not play bf4 on ultra settings for any console. That is the difference maker. And a game like this is still going to look good on ps4 or xboxone. Just relax.
I think the disappointment of the next gen is because those systems got shafted:
Billions of PC's in circulation
150M 360/PS3
0 XB1's and PS4's
Probably just took lowest priority which is a shame...
