Performance Analysis: Battlefield Hardline beta

Last summer's PS4 Battlefield Hardline beta disappointed us with its sub-par frame-rate and a notable lack of visual refinements over Battlefield 4. Surely we should expect more from a triple-A title based on a key franchise? With a new beta released this week, we were eager to see what improvements had been made, based on code that should fall closely into line with the performance profile of the final game, due next month. We've already taken a look at the PC version running on a high-end PC, and it runs as expected but what about the console versions? Have things improved?

i hope they will make it 1080p in the final version

Or at least 1080p on PS4 and 900p on Xbox one

Worse looking and worse running on X1. It's BF4 all over again.

720p in 2015 is disgusting.

And the fact that BF4, a launch game, is more visually impressive than this game, even after a 6 month delay, is laughable. You're supposed to make progress, guys, not go backwards.

thrust3792d ago (Edited 3792d ago )

Play it on the best then PC

Plus I think this is just a filler game till bf5

Scottyxboxoneandps43792d ago

@Lukas....
Come on now It's not viscerals engine is it? Plus it's their first game on that engine. I think u would have had a better point if dice had made it.
I do hope that there will be better improvements with dice's next bf game though.

And to those saying it's just a mod? Well ur getting a full campaign for ur cash too!! Geez some people on this site have always got something to complain about!!!

gamer93792d ago

Agreed

Also kind of funny how people on this site instantly lose interest in a game over visuals

This game looks fun. 900p! I'm out!

Dirtnapstor3792d ago

Beta, hello?
They're not going to maximize anything for the beta. This is about mechanics. Doesn't anyone realize this anymore? Nothing new...

Corpser3792d ago

900p is disgusting as well, some powerful consoles we have here

The game looks really bad. And the character animations are stiff. Maybe it'll get better but I doubt it.

hello123792d ago

I could tell it was cut and paste job because i am certain the dustbowl map is the zivod map ( i think thats the name from Battlefield 4) i noticed some of the buildings in the outer edges looked very similar.

Its the map with the train tracks and busted tanks and hills and slopes on each side.

Its not surprising its 720p on x box 1 is just a money cash in this game.

higgins783792d ago

So, a year later - plenty time to find your feet. Where have all the PS4/XB1 fanboys/Wii U/Nintendo haters disappeared? At least admit that both PS4 and XB1 are NOT offering performance generations ahead of the Wii U...and no ifs or buts please. Fact is, Nintendo and the Wii U are running 720p/1080p games running at 30/60fps. As it stands today both the PS4 and XB1 struggle with that. Each to his own but I just hope a little egg on face and reflection put things into perspective.

This was one of my harder platinums to get, mainly because the game was the beginning of the Battlefield decline, this game was horrible.

Yi-Long232d ago

DLC for shooters generally splits the player-base between ‘haves’ and ‘have nots’, and it often means that servers became less populated and as a result, many dropped the game completely once that happened …

myDorazio232d ago

Yeah, kind of ironic isn't it. If they had released it a year later with the DLC part of the base experience, it would have gotten a bigger audience.

Hardline at least tried to mix things up for the first time in a while. This was pretty much the nail in the coffin for Visceral though.

MDTunkown237d ago

The map were to small for a lot of ideas, riding around two streets was stupid

Cacabunga237d ago

Yet another great decision made by EA. They really know what they’re doing

just_looken237d ago (Edited 237d ago )

The vip mode was a great idea but the whole game had that need more time in the oven feeling. My only big issue with hardline as a whole was the smgs.

But vip plus c4 classic

GAMERJET237d ago

Hardline was my favorite Battlefield.

Demetrius237d ago

Hardline was fun af, nice size areas to get around in. Got a good 10 hours out of it because I took my time much as I can. Sucha good story and atmosphere

RavenWolfx237d ago

I didn't even know this was something that had been requested. A new Bad Company, oh hell yeah. Hardline? Not so much.

HyperMoused237d ago

Hardline was great for what it was and it had the best MP mode with the moving hardpoints, if you havnt played it the hard points to capture were vehicles, with points earned for how long you are in one, so its this huge mash up of ground warfare and taking out vehicles and getting in one and tearing ass trying not to get blown up...was awesome.
