Battlefield 4 screenshots: maxed settings at 7680x1440 on LPC

Running Battlefield 4 at 1440p is impressive, but the Large Pixel Collider doesn't merely seek to impress. It seeks to destroy all humans (maybe, we don't know what it's thinking about) and destroy all things less than miraculous. With a gurgle from its coolant tank, it commanded us to instead span three 2560x1440 displays and submerse our eyeballs in a gallon of 7680x1440 levelution.

I could only imagine how sweet it would be to see these live. Must be a challenge just to look at the whole image.

The game will still be bugged to the dick.

It's become the new "hot/cool" thing to bash on BF4 right now.

Maybe it's because I've only Played PC version, but the game works fine and runs good and I've had 20 games that were flawless.

Some lagged, some even froze on me like 4-5 times total, but overall it's been a good experience.

I however can't play the game and have it look this good.

Only have an AMD 7770...maybe next year

It's not about being 'cool', it's being truthful. And yes, EA/DICE need to be slammed repeatedly until they get their shit straight. End of. I own the game on PC (and also picked up the PS4 version because I wanted to play with my friends) and have had a pretty solid experience so far. Clocked in over 20 hours on each version.

That being said, DICE are renown for making buggy as fuck games. That's just the truth of it. Honestly, the worst game was Battlefield 2. Why people praised this game, and continue to think highly of it, is beyond me. The game is still a mess. Crap hitbox detection, poor netcoding, inconsistent weapons, questionable falling damage, stability issues, still hasn't got native widescreen resolution support. The list goes on. It's just not a well made game. I remember in 2004/2005 downloading patch after patch, each one usually fixing a bug introduced by the one before it. Thank god there's auto updates nowadays. BF2 released it's final patch in 2009 and it's STILL a trainwreck. Games after that, *in my experience*, were nowhere near as bad. But the fact remains that DICE are horrible at making games. It just sucks that the game itself is so Goddamn good.

Back to BF4, I've been playing it on a very powerful PC (i7 3770k, 12GB RAM, GTX TITAN) and it runs beautifully. I've had few crashes and issues. PS4 version has been much the same. A mostly good experience. That doesn't change the fact that the BF4, or ALL the BF games come to think of it, all feel like they're being held together by tape and band-aids and is likely to crash at any second. It's like an old beat up car. You just never know if it's going to work.

THAT'S Battlefield. Always has been, always will be. The games are bugged to the dick, but the games themselves are very good - when they're working.

What's the point of pretty graphics when the gameplay is broken?

[TopDudeMan]

That detail on the side of the cliff.

[DaBeatSpecialist]

Wow that looks insane.

Stretched across multiple monitors.. = no change in image quality.

I don't see what's to like about gaming on multiple screens, seems irritating and off putting. Not to mention the bad framerates you'd get while doing so.

Its not stretched across multiple screens, it is rendered at 7680 x 1440 which would need 3 2560 x 1440 monitors to display.

It is a huge improvement in image quality.

[KimoNoir]

Just one of those screens is already overqualified for hd

@FlyingFoxy

What @bumnut said, and it provides a significant and realistic field of view that you can't get on a single screen.

all that resolution and is far far away from reality :) better work on a new graphical engine.

This is why I say 4k TVs will be a waste, many companies will skip out or have short lived hardware just to drive sales while they move to 8k, I say stick to 1080p until 8k.
