No, it's very much going to be a situation like how PS2 games are still being made, but with totally different featuresets/standards

Shouldn't be. The PC, X1, and PS4 versions will all probably be very comparable, with the 360 and PS3 versions being super gimped.
I played (and had a great time) with BF3 on the 360, but I can't imagine playing BF4 for the 360 or PS3.

Awesome. I noticed player models turning their heads towards you/the nearest player, too.

Gun models look much better vs BF3.

Same with me. Think this looks amazing and it will be my first Battlefield and my first PS4 game.
Does anyone know how 'noob' friendly BF is?
Is it easy to pick up and play or am I going to spend the first few months being a huge hindrance to my team?
I'm not expecting much from SP but is there any way of practicing offline to get used to the vehicles etc. before jumping in online and facing real opposition?

It's fairly easy to pick up, I think. The damage model is a bit more forgiving than CoD and it's easiest to learn at launch, IMO, because everyone else is a noob.
However, having friends makes it much better. There should be a practice mode, too.

Thanks for the response.
Yeah I understand that to get the most out of the game you need to be getting involved in team work. Hopefully I'll find some cool people to play with through GAF
Good to hear that there should be a practice mode too.
You won't.

make sure the pudding isn't too soggy but that just ruins everything
They have added a practice mode for the vehicles... so one of the biggest hurdles for new players in past games (piloting) has been addressed. Though, in past games you could always jump in an empty server to acclimate yourself to controls... but I assume this practice mode might actually have targets/enemies to shoot at, which would be the first time there is combat practice.
As far as the base game, imo BF is pretty intuitive for new players... just know some of the basic tenets of Battlefield:
- Never bail on powerful vehicles, possibly giving them to the other team -- go down with the ship, captain.
- Spot, always!
- Play your role and always give ammo, health, etc to teammates.
- Recon is a great class... "snipers" are losers who need to go back to CoD.
Also, these modern shooters are all full of unlock bullshit now. This can be a pain in the butt for vehicles if you don't have certain unlocks... best way to get the vehicle unlocks is to be the gunner for a while, you'll get them all unlocked pretty quick and you can be in better shape for piloting.
BF is amazing... play with at least 3-4 friends and you will love it.

Last ones, sorry about your bandwidth.
gifs look great, love that new stumble, doesn't look like it actually slows you down.

Can someone please tell me the advantage of a silencer in BF3... I've played it heaps and I just can't work it out. I always just go flash suppressor. It reduces damage, and causes more bullet drop, yet there is no reason to silence your weapon is there?
I know this is probably a stupid question to ask. I asked this question here because someone said earlier they want to have different kits, a silenced kit for some levels etc... but I just want to know the reason for having a silenced kit...

You don't show up on radar, when firing a weapon.

If 1080p at 60FPS is confirmed for PS4, I'll have a dilemma on my hands. PC vs. PS4?
Last ones, sorry about your bandwidth.
Really wish I could get excited for this but I will not until I see what the netcode is about. I need some hard evidence that I wont get shot around walls/corners any longer. I also need to see someone run full speed and stop dead in their tracks then face the player.....I need to see if it still looks like an insta-stop and insta-direction switch because that pisses me off when tracking someone.

I didn't think that happened in BF isn't that COD? Wow... I did not know that!
They added it in BF3. IDK why they did that crap. It was one of the things that many fought against during the alpha but then they added it to have more of a difference between the flash supp and regular supp. I still wish they would freakin take it out or completely rework it if it MUST be in there (and I'm afraid they reeeeeaaallly want it in there).

At the same time it will be easier to shoot them with a RPG or out of there cockpit if they are forced down a narrow street.
Always found it much easier to use either of those two methods than any anti air missles myself.

But it's just map yeah? Not the arrow over your head as well?
I will have to consider using a suppressor more often now I think, and definitely put my pistols back to the silenced versions.
Yeah, this is the one thing that bums me out about BF4. I was really looking forward to doing some creative stuff, and seeing what other people create. That's one thing that CoD still has over Battlefield- actual gameplay recording.
From the trailer it looked to be a single press of F, which I believe was the default melee button in Battlefield 3, not a complicated series of commands. Dunno if the key in question randomizes or if it is the same. The speed in which it happened made it seem like there is a very, very small window for you to notice and press the button to counter.
1080p & 60fps confirmed for PS4.
Whoa, I see you posting in a Battlefield thread after a very long time. Welcome back!
You should come play with me sometime =)
Yeah they said the same thing for BF3 esports and look how that ended...
I'm curious if the counter-knife will work that well as a QTE. I mean it's not that hard to miss them which would make knifing useless since you'll always get countered. Bummer about mobile Commander being only iOS, why not Android too?
So basically they added knifing from the front, with the added QTE. I'm pretty sure a knife from behind will still have no QTE. It's totally a feature add, they're not changing the way it already works.

Pretty sure 1080P isn't confirmed yet, unless I've missed something.
Rewatching the Gamespot interview with Bach and he says that at least one MP map has huge waves, similar to the Angry Sea demo!
I think this is a reference to the unannounced Naval warfare mode/map that zh1nt0 teased at Dreamhack. I think it will be a Titan-like mode where sea combat is the primary focus.
From my post on the previous page:
Naval Warfare is definitely going to be more than what we saw on Shanghai. I'm pumped.

Alpha trial starts tomorrow.
Too bad that it's white-boxed, but I'd still like to try everything out.

Oh shit. How do you get selected for the Alpha?

How can you get an Alpha invite?
Alpha invites are completely random. They look at "Battlefield Vets" with high Veteran statuses, but even then it is random and people who have owned every BF game still get shafted on Alpha. (this is from BF3's Alpha trial)
If I remember correctly, they rolled out Alpha invites in waves for BF3 so hopefully they will be expanding the pool over the next two weeks. My Veteran status is 7, so hopefully that's worth something.
It's also worth nothing that this is a white block Alpha, meaning that the map textures are gone, and only soldiers/weapons are textured. So, kind of disappointing, but I'd still love to try out all of the new things they've added.

BF4 will have Premium, but they probably wont announce it until next year.

I assume there will be a gaf BF4 on PS4 thread
Also I'm glad they're putting in a practice mode. I aspire to be that good.
