I played LA Noire and finished it and I didn't recognize that he was in both games (assuming you guys are right since it looks that way). #facepalm

Weather effects? I haven't seen a single rain drop in this 7+ minutes trailer.


BF4 looked pretty amazing.

Hopefully you guys take this even further with Hardline.
 
Looks like an interesting use of the BF tech.

Really hope they use a Bad Company style tone in the single player and keep it a little more light hearted, I think it would really suit the scenarios shown in the trailer.
 
This just makes my yearning for a SWAT 5 even harder, because this won't be as non-lethal friendly and I'll just be craving it. I want a shout button (Payday games also do this). Let me deck my crew with non-lethal paint guns and door breaching equipment. Penalties for killing suspects.

Oh well, probably won't happen.

I think i'm looking forward to this more than anything else this year (now that the order has been delayed). they had me with cops and robbers multi. but the campaign has me hyped as hell. cop show in the vein of justified? i'm sold. justified is my favorite tv show. or maybe it's just actors from justified. but anyway the campaign sounds really good.
 
Super disappointed that a chunk of Visceral's talent's and resources are being wasted on this. They have some of the most talented artists and sound designers in the industry, as evidenced by Dead Space. Such a shame. EA (and Ubisoft) have become even worse than Activison. Yes, I am salty.
 
I just realized something...I want Co-op. The trailer shows multiplayer vs. and single player but no Co-op.

Ehhh I'd rather they do good multi vs and good single player.

You either go singleplayer or only coop story. It would be a half assed effort coop like DICE had on BF3 if there would be any.
 
I never picked up BF4 after all of the negative things I heard, but this looks much more appealing. Makes me miss playing Rainbow Six Ravenshield.
 
Oh boy. After BF4 "butthurtery" I'm getting weak at the knees with this new stuff coming out. This game is realizing a lot of gaming fantasies...
God damn it looks so fucking good. Too bad is cross-platform though
 
The test will come when we find out what resolution BF:Hardline runs at on the PS4. For BF4 DICE ran out of time and shoved the game out at launch, bugs and all with little optimization for next-gen consoles. BF4 ran at 900p/60fps (with horrible FXAA) and I'm assuming BF:Hardline uses the same Frostbite 3 engine. If BF:Hardline doesn't run at 1080p on the PS4, then it's more likely BF:Hardline is just a mod of BF4 with no additional engine optimizations. In that case I would expect the same graphics as BF4, with no significant improvements. On the other hand, if BF:Hardline runs at 1080p/60fps with SMAA, then we should see improvement over BF4.

Worst case scenario, even if BF:Hardline doesn't have any resolution/visual improvements over BF4 on PS4, it's still going to be one hell of an awesome looking game. Even to this day, there are so many subtle visual effects that I keep discovering on the PS4 version of BF4 it leaves me gobsmacked. We could hope for better optimizations this time around if Visceral is solely working on next gen platforms and PC with PS3/360 developments being outsourced.

Whenever you complain about a CG trailer...
Whenever you complain about devs/pubs not being open enough with their information...
Whenever you see a super highly edited trailer that doesn't look like the final product...

Remember this thread. I'm sorry but how dumb do you have to be to think a video that says do not distribute and constantly refers to the game using its codename is completely representative of the final product? I swear this is a perfect example of why we get spoon fed bullshit all the time. Because apparently people bloody need it. And if a thread on GAF looks like this I can't imagine what the rest of the world will think. Sucks for EA.

That being said the concepts they talked about in the video got me very interested.

Five pages late, but goddamn. Thank you.

Don't make us pay to play small game modes privately man. How much money do we have to give up?
In a collective group of 10 we will have spent at minimum 600 dollars on the game, maximum 1100.
How much is enough to be able to play 5v5 without a monthly premium?

Right with you there.

Something about moving all out war to civil servant police forces is not sitting with me well either. Cops arn't supposed to be calling asses and forgetting to ask questions.
 
Exactly, anyone who buys EA products at launch is getting exactly the abuse and exploitation they deserve. If you keep going back, they're just going to keep fucking you over.

My god BF4 made me bitter.

Um...I bought ME3 at release and loved every second.

Except for the last few seconds.
 
Looks fun although I wonder how or even if they'll shoehorn in large scale battlefield warfare. Either way, not touching it after what happened with bf4.

As broken ass as BF4 was on release and for long after I still love that friggin game. I usually only stick to one multiplayer shooter and COD and Killzone don't do it for me. I love the Battlefield gameplay, warts and all so sucker that I am, I'll be there day one for this game and will probably spring for premium as well. Damn abusive relationship. I feel like a battered spouse who keeps coming back for more because the sex is great. Just gotta learn to ignore those punches. Maybe Destiny will be great at co-op and competitive and be my go-to shooter but I have the feeling I'll be blowing up banks in this game when it releases.

Bigger question is: why is Phil Spencer in Hardline?? :D Don't tell me he's not the guy in the trailer. Visceral had a crystal ball months ago and knew Spencer was taking over Xbox?? Haha!

Yep. Final.

Says so in the OP.

Right. This made me chuckle a bit, I admit.

Those are about graphics. I don't know if the "light" sounds are typically Battlefield's sound direction, which is why I asked.

If you've played BF before, you'll know that sound is one of the biggest assets that the franchise uses effectively. DICE has won numerous awards for it. Of course, with this one being developed by Visceral, there might be some concern. But I gather DICE and Vis might be sharing stuff in which case, no worries here. And yeah, I doubt the sound, etc. are final too.

Yep. agreed. I said the same thing earlier in this very thread. I mentioned how from my knowledge that the trailer was an old build shown around internally at EA way back in Feb/March along with other "big" EA games, and was not what the final game looked like.

I was quite flabbergasted that some people were saying, "Omg! Lookzed suckz!" or kept on ragging how X thing didn't look good, etc. And yeah, publishers need to spell things out since some people NEED stuff spelled out for them. Beta, alpha? No teasers of actual gameplay? Yep, since some people will assume that's the thing they'll end up playing and use it as fact to tell everyone they know.

Thanks for that! It's really true... ;_;

Because this March build of Battlefield 4 differed so much from the final release in october

/sarcasm

If there is a difference i'm not expecting much

Well of course it won't look like a different game after 6 months. But there has probably been a lot of small improvements that is very easy to see if you spend like 8-12 hours every workday with the game.

Agree 100%. BF4 looks gorgeous to me on PS4 and the campaign is practically locked at 60fps. If keeping the resolution at 900p means this new game will run as smoothly and even smoother in multiplayer than so be it I say.

Visceral created Dead Space and while I fell a little out of love because of the third game I'll still give them the benefit of the doubt on this one. They're a technically sound developer who put out very polished games.

Looking forward to seeing more.

Same. BF4 looks beautiful o PS4. I'd be down for more graphical improvements but just being on par with BF4 is not a bad thing.

And yes, I didn't like DS3 as much as DS1 or 2, but it was still a sound game. It was just too much shootbang for a horror game. Well, at least Visceral can do all the shootbang with Hardline.

Already a new Battlefield? I'm going to sit this one out and wait for user impressions on the servers.
