Leaked Battlefield 3 PS3 Singleplayer Intro Gameplay Video [Up2: Better 360 Footage]

Jet Gameplay

Look at the corners of the screen respectively. The vignette filter is subtle at the beginning and "grows" into the screen once the action starts to ramp up creating an artificial feeling of tunnel vision. (instead of using lense shifting ) at around 8:40 the effect is just retarded.

Good vignetting can add a selected highlight to a scene, while when done poorly only decreases image quality by creating a round tunnel field of view that is comparable to the loss of lateral vision from a starting migraine.

Can see it happening there, but it is only in certain parts and it didn't last long.

Look at the jet footage linked in one of the posts above. Shit's ridiculous. They allready overdid that photography filter in BC2 and it seems just worse now.

That's just for vehicles. To simulate the helmet, visor, wtv. There's no vignette when ur on foot.

And even then it's not 1/3 of the screen.


The video you posted was from a cam footage so that might be making it worst then it actually is.

Vignette refers to the blacked/greyed corners when playing the game. Look at a gameplay video and you'll see the corners are darkened.

It can get very annoying. Hopefully the PC version has a way to turn it off.

oh i didnt even notice it until now. i dont think it's that bad, you're usually looking in the middle of the screen when playing anyway. imo assassin's creed brotherhood had the worst vignetting. it made it look like half the screen had a cataract.

Hooray for cluttered HUDs :/

In singleplayer I want as little stuff on the screen as possible for immersion, especially when it's such a beautiful looking and sounding game.
I mean why do they remove the HUD in trailers like this? Cause it looks so much sexier. But usually they don't bother actually giving the player the option to turn it off

In BC2 I was stuck with this monstrosity of a crosshair

After looking again yeah it does, but it's so tiny you barely notice it...

It's on foot as well (alltough thankfully a bit more subtle) Cam footage or not, the vignette filter is pretty huge there. I agree that in direct feed it might be a bit more subdued (less darkened) But even when they want to simulate helmet or environment occlusion (inside a tank) there are better ways to do it (but at the same time vignetting is very very memory efficient in creating a similar feeling)

And I never said 1/3 but 1/6th.

Anyway, I know that I'm in the minority here, but I simply hate that this shit is impairing the lateral viewfield just to increase center highlights. It's a cheap effect that is easily overused and rarely done tastefully.
If it were optional at least.

I just hope they fix the tearing. I am thinking of getting the PS3 ver but man the tearing was beyond bad in the beta

Why do all these gameplay videos look so good (visually)? ...Because the beta looked like complete, mediocre shit IMO.

The Battlefield 3 Open Beta is based on software that is more than one month old.

Just like normal procedure when releasing a game, the Open Beta has had long lead times due to testing, certification, and setting up. This means that the code you are now playing is actually quite early and not representative of the final game.

Consoles had terribly compressed textures and unfinished effects. These PS3 videos are us finally seeing what the game actually looks like.

Does the HD Pack apply to MP or is it just SP?

Any good PS3 footage of Metro yet? I'd just like to see it for comparison's sake since I played the beta a ton on it.

Watching the 360 footage and I'm seeing a LOT of tearing on a near constant basis. Any higher quality PS3 footage out there? I didn't notice it in the original off screen video.

Day 1 patch fix maybe? I remember BFBC1 had a lot of tearing and they eventually fixed it for the most part.

youtube cam mostly always looks good. I'm just saying don't think it'll look all cream and butter like that on a real screen up close.

IMO, the game won't look THAT much better than the beta/demo we had before. There was barely any difference between BC2 beta and its final version and that game already stressed the ps3 enough.

Fuck me Zipper needs to license this engine and remake MAG.

Either that or DICE needs to get off their laurels and make some other game modes. Domination would be puuuurfect

Looks awsome no doubt about it. It looks this good in a 5 year old hardware. I think that's amazing. The PC version must be above awsome.

Direct feed footage makes things look better than they actually are?

That's a new one.

The game was in beta. The fact that you even mentioned "demo" in your post indicates that you have no idea what a beta is.
