Looks alright, but I don't really care about the graphics, show me the giant maps/levels, BC2 levels of destruction or better, 1080p/60 fps and 64 players on consoles.

Thanks for the answers guys...Yes I agree, that fire explosion does look a lot better, kind of reminds me of KZ4 explosion effect.
I think it probably looks much better in motion. Less than 6 hours to go. I hope it looks this good on PS4
yea I am sure it will look great. Dice has great console programmers and even better PC programmers. I was impressed by their PS3 and PC efforts this gen, I am sure they will impress on Durango and PS4
KZSF already wins since it's not tied to 2005 level hardware

Those tears!
Battlefield 4 = revival of David Jaffe game that makes you cry. What was it called...Heartland, Homeland or something? hah
The character models could still use some work in KZSF though. Very rough. The Helghast looks good however.
I wasn't going to comment until the video but as of now I'm not really impressed, and a little let down actually. But perhaps they beefed up the package in motion and thus I'm hoping that impresses me. If the visual jump isn't so hot maybe they kicked up animations and gameplay overall.
It is sporting a solid bps though going off the third screenshot.

But 60fps looks so good! On console, if you went from COD MP 60fps to BF3 multiplayer after about two matches of COD, BF3 would look very choppy and just look bad until you got used to the 30fps. I know a few friends who have noticed the same thing so I know it is not just me. If most games are 60fps on the PS4 and there are the odd bunch of 30fps. People will notice the difference more often and will only want 60fps. Before HD caught on many people were like "Why do I need this?" "It does not look much better to me for more money." but now many people cannot stand SD because they are used to HD now. Same goes for VHS to DVD. VHS looked just fine for many people but if you went back to watch a VHS after DVD you noticed an insane difference in quality. Now we all can easily tell VHS apart because many of us are used to the higher quality format all of the time. Some people did not need to go from one format to the other to notice a difference and those are the people that wanted the clearer betamax over VHS.
So if we apply the same things to 30fps gaming and 60fps gaming all that is needed is to make 60fps the new standard. That will be when people will never want to go back to 30fps. Which is probably why many PC enthusiasts will upgrade like every 3 years to keep that high IQ at 60fps. Why? Because once you are used to 60fps you will have a hard to playing a game at a measly 30fps.
Games can be 1080p @60fps on the PS4 if devs do not over do the graphical effects.

It's a launch game though, I doubt they have too much time to model great looking characters. I thought the normal mapping on the Helghast soldier's face (when he comes close up) was rather embarrassing...
I'm thinking they'll stick with 720p/30fps.
Lasgana: pc, ps4 and xbox 720 supports 64 player maps
Lasgana: 360 and ps3 will be less
Lasgana: pc, ps4 and 720 will provide 60 fps

...well, no shit. lol
Also, here is what they posted along with it. "Huge environments... Only in Battlefield!"
Of course this could be social media hogwash, but Nirolak's theory about "Construction 1P/MP" could possibly hold up. I'd be perfectly fine with that being a multiplayer map.

You're saying the game doesn't look graphically good from the pictures?

I don't believe that AT ALL. It's a silly myth.

He is right if he means that. Those faces look vasalineafied and lacking detail.
COD would suck royally with 30fps and input lag.
The arcade like response time would be gone.
I guess the scenery in the third picture looks pretty good, but, uhhh, yeah. The characters themselves look like shit.

These shots look great. But BF3 looks great too and I can see how this isn't a jump from BF3.
Let's not forget TR when comparing these shots. For now, it's the only game that has competed with C3 in next-gen quality. I'll be anxiously awaiting the BF4 trailer. And I want PS4 footage. We already know what the PC can do.

...seriously? Look at the detail in the uniforms.
But if the series never debuted at 60 FPS and was 30 FPS from the get go, would it still be as popular? What if they never strived for that low input lag?
I believe that's what he was trying to say with the whole "myth" claim.

Huh, interesting. They're insanely detailed IMO.
Welcome to the next generation of nitpicking, playboys. No, seriously, the faces are definitely lacking. It's the first thing I noticed when I looked at the screens.

TR looks good on PC, but hair aside, all the textures were last gen, the lighting was last gen....Star Wars 1313 blew it away. BF4 can't compare head to head with Crysis 3 in terms of tech features. You have to remember BF4 is a multiplayer shooter with 64 players, vehicles, destruction and other complex things...Crysis 3 has none of that.

Maybe, maybe not.
But I still believe MOSTpeople who like COD would still like COD at 30fps for the type of game it is rather than dislike it due to not being 60fps. It just so happens COD is popular and is 60fps so I think it's a silly myth people came up with. When Halo was top dog people talked about the gameplay and the universe people loved, with COD I just hear "60fps" all the time.
COD would still be about stupid killstreaks, easy kills, class customisation, unbalanced crazy crap, and the COD fans would still love that (and this is ignoring what 30fps might allow them to add gameplay wise... IDK destruction, maybe they would like that).

I was expecting it to look significantly better than 3, but I guess the whole "we can render a hundred birds now" is cool too.

What have you done... Now people will start counting birds on the PS4 version compared to the Durango version

I agree. It's built primarily for PS360, I don't think it'll look as impressive as KZ:SF for that reason.
Uhhh... Crysis 3 is built for PS3/360 and has better faces. That has nothing to do with it.
KZSF currently has the worst facial models out of the bunch.
30fps in a heartbeat, no contest.

I think it looks great, but it's also flashy to try hide some other areas. I still think it looks really good though except the fact that SP looks to be another melodrama fest that will fall flat on it's ass

Nope.
Ask COD fans why they like it and you'll response along the lines of "it controls great" or "it just feels good". People may not recognise 60fps but they'll still appreciate its benfits without realising it.
