BattleField 3: Is Dice Hiding The Visual Truth Behind Touched Up Trailers

Featuring one of the longest lines at E3 2011 was EA’s hit shooter, Battlefield 3. The game looks like it can make the Battlefield run green with money come this holiday seasons. While at E3, something seemed odd about EA’s media presentation of Battlefield 3

That's kinda hard to believe since all the other websites said it was better than what they expected...

[WANNAGETHIGH]

An article for hits...Any one can randomly think off a conspiracy.

We all know the graphics r very good touched up or not.

[Js2Kings]

I agree with that. The whole tank demo was an actual demo, plus there were multiplayer hands-on footage. Both looked amazing. Sometimes I think N4G gets easily trolled. Here's a note N4G members: just because someone has a website and an article, doesn't mean it's not BS.

[BeastlyRig]

I guess they had a touched up E3 demo?

It still is on par with the best looking shooters when watched a crappy quality video!

so imagine in 1080p!

LOL I was going to say that. If BF3 was really touched up then how did the E3 demo look so good? Consoles are so far behind PC's that when a game actually uses a gaming PC's ability, peeps think it is touched up.

More bullshit stories looking for hits

[trainsinrdr]

Ofcourse they are just like every other dev.
Its kinda like using autotune in the music industry.
But when it plays live it isnt as good as you were expecting.

[Thatguy-310]

I guess so .. I mean Thats what they did with Battlefield Bad company 2... When I first saw the trailer I was so amazed at the graphics but little did I know that they were using the PC version to advertise the looks of that game..

[Hufandpuf]

But it was still in-game.

[kaveti6616]

Console gamers have an inflated sense of entitlement.

They don't realize that the console version of a game is not the bona fide version of the game.

The PC version is the true version. If EA's marketing group decided to advertise game using the bona fide version footage rather than the crappier version, they had every right to do that.

It pays to be educated on the matter. EA and many other publishers prey on the ignorance of the masses of teenagers who will think it's either 360 or PS3 footage.

[DigitalxPiracy]

Why wouldn't they show the best looking footage? Just because YOU can't play the best version doesn't mean they can't show it. Now if they show PC footage and label it as Xbox/PS3 gameplay that's a different story.

[ChozenWoan]

or PS3 footage and claim it's 360.... Looking at you SquareEnix. >.>

[Mithan]

Why do you guys go to their site?

It is obvious they are just trying to troll you in with a retarded title.

[Hufandpuf]

I would call this bullshit, but the author didn't tell us what they were playing it on. They just mentioned PS3 and PC. From what we've been hearing all along is that the game is amazing, so that should be enough.

[CrimsonEngage]

Yea, because showing people live THUNDER RUN gameplay from the SP wasn't in game or anything. Fucking troll site.

[xtreampro_REVENGE!]

Awwww poor console fanboy.

[supremo]

Metro looked good enough, who are you kidding.. You played the demo, you said gameplay is nothing less than stellar. Thats all MP needs..

Of course MP wont look as good as single play, it's to be expected.. Everything will be finely tuned, graphics, animation, it will be fully optimised for faster responsive and competitive play.. A better multiplayer experience..

[gcolley]

yawn

[Pro_TactX]

Capitalism: Is thegameheadz.com hiding the greedy truth behind sensationalist titles?

See, I can do it too.

[ZETTA]

LOL trailer's must be "touched up" for the console versions only, because of their inferior hardware, the PS3 cell CPU is not that powerful anymore! i have seen people with core i7(8core) CPU's running them @ 5GHz!!

[RugbyGod]

I own an Xbox and a PS3. Has anyone, anyone at all seen it play on a 360 yet? The answer is no.

PC gamers can rejoice as it looks AMAZING on a PC, but what are you console gamers raving about?

It's a sub-par product and the bar you are using to measure the greatness of BF3 is one set by a PC.

Snap out of it and stop drinking the EA Kool-Aid

[Hicken]

And YOU stop trolling the Battlefield articles because you haven't gotten any footage on 360 yet. You said the very same thing- almost ver batim- elsewhere.

[RugbyGod]

So what. It's a related issue. Are some kind of n4g cop jack hole?

[Hicken]

The problem: you're pretending to ignore that it's been seen on console, while your words imply that you already KNOW that is HAS been shown.

You sound either upset that people are excited for it(as in: CoD fanboy), or upset that it hasn't been shown on 360 yet(as in: 360 fanboy).

What has been shown on both PC AND PS3 IS something to rave about. Your claim of a "sub-par product" seems to be based wholly on the fact that you haven't seen gameplay for the 360. And I find myself wondering: why the hell do you even care? You state you OWN a PS3, and you imply that you know that footage for that system has been shown.

Seriously, what are you complaining about?

[dommafia]

n4g shoujld add a "ignore future stories from this source" button

[Thoreau]

man, i swear n4g.com is the defender of all irrational things. the constant hate on the ps3, the constant hate on BF3.

[thespaz]

Oh, so I guess the constant hate on Modern Warfare 3 is okay?

[Thoreau]

no, screw semantics nerd, when i state bf3 hate, i relate that to all solid games.

[turgore]

"even on jimmy fallen"
there goes their credibility.

[RegorL]

OK so EA are showing PC trailers - surprised?

But they have said almost nothing about what hardware they are using!

It might not be the high end but rather low end that was used for multiplayer demo. Packing that many high end PCs in a small room would produce some serious heat not to mention noise...

And compare the multiplayer trailer Metro (you can easily singlestep the trailer on a PS3 - it is a downloadable promotion - why?) with PS3 singleplayer from Fallon show.

[Sarobi]

Ha

[Buntownik]

Did a Call Of Doody fan boy write this??? 0.o
