I'd imagine the military looks for all of the above. And there's no reason to think that DICE couldn't do those calculations or physics just as well if not better than Crytek. Looking at the games as an example, simulation wise DICE are miles ahead of Crytek.

I think of it like F1. Real cars might not be near the performance of F1 race cars, but some of the technology is passed down and implemented in commercial vehicles. I'd have assumed Crytek would have reaped the rewards of the military simulation/training programme stuff in their games, but some of the physics, animations, sound effects etc are just off in the latter, especially compared to some of the competition.

This is embarrassing, you're still upset that crytek called your precious ps4 "low end"?

It being 1080p and 60 fps pretty much negates me playing in on the PC.

I do think running the game on max settings will most likely out do what the ps4 version will be like though.

BUT, then I remember how much better KB/M is for shooting games.

But then I remember the hacking problem and how most of my friends who play BF ( majority COD sadly) are also on the ps3 and most likely ps4 soon...

Hard choices, but in a good way.

The old one, the new one, or both?

Nirolak showed me the Chinese post where the new information came from. The guy claimed it was from the April Edge which has "leaked" before GDC, and then in spoiler text he admits that he made it up and asked people not to kill him for it. Lol. :p

I can't remember for certain, but I think the old leak was from someone who actually claimed to be working on the game or who knew someone working on the game at one of EA's China studios.

Edit; So, fake? Damn. Well, a lot of the stuff didn't seem beyond reason. I just wish DICE would reveal with multiplayer, though I highly doubt they will.

I think having any sort of military focus on China in terms of weaponry or locations is already highly suspect... :p

Definitely, considering already in the two leaked images we've seen three pieces of evidence for China. (Shanghai, J-20, Asian Soldier)

I find it extremely hard to believe that EA will develop and release a game like Battlefield 4 with a Tiananmen Square map, especially when they have significant investment in the country, and are treating it seriously as an emerging market. :p

Disclaimer: I don't actually follow BF4 news, except when Nirolak links me to Chinese forums! Lol.

So sorry if this was already posted, haven't had time to read the whole thread and it wasn't in the OP. Some details apparently leaked about the game. next gen consoles will be 720p at 60 fps for BF4

DICE said:
Many new details of DICEs upcoming next-generation Battlefield 4 FPS have been leaked by Chiphell forums. According to the leaker, the details would be mentioned in the April issue of the Edge magazine while the game itself would be announced at GDC 2013 during 26th 27th March. A teaser sneak peak along with cover image of Battlefield 4 have already been released which you can view here.

Battlefield 4 Gets Frosbite 2.5 Engine Destruction 4.0, Tessellation, Dynamic Weather Affects

In our previous article, we mentioned how the next generation Battlefield 4 would utilize 80% of the Frostbite engines power compared to 30% utilization in Battlefield 3. The new Frostbite 2.5 engine would feature much more enhanced visuals with PC being the lead platform for the game. According to the details, Battlefield 4 would maintain a steady 60 FPS on 720P resolution on both next generation consoles which include the PS4 and Xbox 720 which is a slight bit of a disappointment since earlier rumors suggested 1080P/60 FPS target for the next-gen consoles. However, the next generation consoles including the PC would get 64 players while the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 would stick to the default 24 player setup which is currently seen on Battlefield 4.

Frostbite 2.5 would be a complete overhaul of the current Frostbite 2.0 engine with DirectX 11 compatibility only on PC. Furthermore, the game would feature Dynamic weather effects such as rain, sandstorms, fog, haze and would be totally random. Each map would get these dynamic weather effects and would change depending on the variable conditions. As you may have noted, the cover image shows a glimpse of these weather effects such as rain. Battlefield 4 would also bring back the much renowned and upgraded Destruction 4.0 system to the game which would offer destructible environments and buildings which we saw back in Bad Company 2. PC versions would benefit from compute power which would render these dynamic destructible effects much more realistically. Furthermore, all of the environment including water, terrain and characters/NPC would make use of the new tessellation technology implemented inside Frostbite 2.5.

Battlefield 4 Set in China During 2020, Maps, Weapons Confirmed

The game would be set in 2020 but maintains a modern day setting featuring China and USA as the main infantry factions. The single player section of the game would be around 5-6 hours long in which there would be 2 campaigns of the PLA factions and would bring back the renowned animation effects of Bad Company series. Just like Battlefield 3s Capsian border where the main tower collapses at the end of the game, a map would be based in Shanghai China at the end of which the Orient Pearl tower would collapse. Not much single player details were given but there are a ton of Multiplayer details such as the maps which include:

Diaoyu Island
Tiananmen
Shanghai Bund
Xizhimen
Xizhimen Rush
These are only a few of the total maps featured in Battlefield 4. Weapons such as the famouse Chinese J20, Y20, Xianglong would appear in the game along with those from other factions. Two of the confirmed tanks include M1A2 TUSK and PLA Type 99 each featuring their own set of customization options such as laser guidance and armor piercing rounds. Best thing thats mentioned in the leak is that Air Combat zone would be further increased giving much more room for dog fights with jets.

Commander system as expected is definitely making a return to the game with the leading commander Providing fire, recharges and UAV detection support to their team. Skill system has also been overhauled. According to the leak, Micro-transactions would be available in the game but they wont affect the balance of the game at all and are entirely optional which is great to hear. As for DLCs, the game would get after a while a map pack which would bring four further maps to the game which include:

Power station in Dalian
Daqing oil field
The great wall of China
Wake Island (Classic Battlefield Map)
In my Battlefield 4 teaser video post i mentioned that if even half of these features came true, Battlefield 4 would be an absolute beast of an FPS. With todays leak, things are hyped up on my end and im really looking forward to GDC 2013s announcement of DICEs upcoming gem aka Battlefield 4

Posted in the BFCentral thread, but for what it's worth:

These are from JBO, the guy who originally posted the description of the leaked artwork and later leaked the full wallpaper. He's been in the know for BF4 the last week or so.

Those few tweets, I believe so. That guy is and has been a reliable source for recent BF4 news recently and I trust it as legit. As for the other rumors, some could be true but personally I see it as speculation.

Also, going to go ahead and place my bet now: the teaser DICE put up yesterday will show up in a short, CG/no-gameplah video this Friday along with the BF4 website, advertising the full reveal for the 27th.

Not a bad guess. I reckon the reveal will be a little underwhelming honestly and will be just info on the game rather than footage

The more people who sign in with Origin the more they reveal, there is a ticker with an unlock for "Prepare 4 Battle". I wonder if it has anything to do with the vine post the other day

Given how Enlighten works, it's unlikely they'll have day/night cycles since they also have to launch on current gen.

Maybe in Battlefield 5 when those platforms are likely dropped.
