That looks fucking incredible

 

[Audiophile]

Never expected it to look like the trailer, as -- despite it supposedly being in-engine -- it has cinematic direction/animation, no logic to process and is a cross-gen title. But even then I expected somewhere in the ballpark, this is massively underwhelming. Flat lighting, chunky assets, just seems dull. It doesn't help when they market it as a next-gen experience way before the reveal, even though it's cross-gen; it's one or the other. Factor in higher resolution, better textures and much better image quality; and the graphical prowess here isn't all that far removed from BF4, eight years ago, a PS360-PS4/X1 title..

Gameplay wise it looks fun, certainly an evolution. No revolutions. I'm kinda done with third party last gen stuff, it's had its time, I've seen everything that can be done, it doesn't excite me anymore.

Looks great. Can't wait.

I am not sure what people expect. You can’t have everything. This is next gen. Because, as you say, the resolution is better, the textures are better, the image quality is overall better, the maps are massive, the player count is doubled, and despite you talking out of your butt, the lighting and overall graphics are better. So you want to have better graphics at 1080p and 24 player battles? Sure. They can do that but would that be next gen? Development is a trade off of competing decisions and if you think that DICE aren’t at the cutting edge of development then you’re wrong.

 

[DeaDPo0L84]

This game is going to be nuts on PC, my friends are all excited to jump in day one so DICE may have a winner on their hands.

 

[VAVA Mk2]

FREE TO PLAY BY THE WAY

fuck outta here

No it isn't

 

[Sander Cohen]

Not impressed with visuals at all but since I’m not a graphics whore that’s secondary. Of course they made it ultra dramatic in the presentation, it’s very rarely like that (though not impossible!) but looks like tons of fun and unless Activision pulls an ace out of the sleeve this autumn, this will be my go-to FPS this year.

After very good BF1, it’s good to have BF back.

 

[Balducci30]

This looked sick to me - maybe not graphically insane but definitely not ugly - having just played Battlefield 4 single player on gamepass I can safely say this looks FAR better. These battles seem absolutely amazing

 

[BlackM1st]

I am not sure what people expect.

PS5 only game that would finally leave PS3's "legacy " behind? How more years after BF3 EA needs? They skipped whole PS4 gen and essentially delivering BF 2042 5 years too late.

 

[Quantum253]

Looked solid ill play the beta. But no destructible buildings like BF4?

Fully immersive and destructive environments is something that I love in games. Red Faction did a great job, but I'd love to see developers harness today's tech to really draw that mechanic out and have truly next gen destructible environments.

 

[XXL]

 

[nightmare-slain]

Loved BF2 and 3. 4 felt off and the other BF games weren’t that great. This looks promising. Hope there is an open beta. I’m not preordering for access.

 

[ParanoidAndroidz]

BF trailers always look so choreographed. Imagine playing a MP with those weather effects and cheaters having no issue seeing through them. Are you guys excited for that? Because if you think DICE invested in an anti-cheat, you'd be fucking naive. Also who the fuck will play a MP with low fps because those weather effects will not come cheap. Pass.

umm if your playing on pc you might have those problems, ill be on ps5, yep maybe not as strong as pc but a more healthy player base that doesnt have aa and wallhacks.

 

[Droxcy]

Viewing the textures on the 4k video man it looks rough at 1:15 but I'm hoping PC release will look amazing and they fully utilize current tech because I'm hyped

 

[Dusktildawn48]

Raytracing on console (Series X/PS5?)? Yay, nay?

 

[RNG]

Rewatching the trailer again at 0.25x speed I noticed that some flags have numbers assigned to them (e.g A1, A2, A3, B1… etc). Man these maps are gonna be yuge, YUGE!

 

[Virt McPolygon]

Some exec at EA really liked the tiny car scene from Geostorm (2017) huh?

 

[manfestival]

Consider me officially hyped. Was cautiously optimistic. Now to set my expectations to be realistic. BF games always are buggy on launch. Will probably lack content as well. Looking forward to putting time into the game.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Has cross play been confirmed?

 

[hououinkyouma00]

I missed the Crysis style weapon customization the first time I saw it. Still a weird choice, but it would work well I guess.

 

[NeonGhost]

Raytracing on console (Series X/PS5?)? Yay, nay?

Rather have a solid frame rate

 

[mitchman]

Well, this trailer was much more old-school BF than the previous trailer from last week. This one got my kinda hyped.

 

[R6Rider]

I really don't like the HUD, and I'm not talking about the colors.

Otherwise I'm in and will have a great time with this playing with friends.

 

[NeonGhost]

Lucky battlefield has had a lot of customization options for their HUD

 

[mitchman]

Also, pretty sure that trailer is heavily compressed, and it's not even 4k so it will look like pooh. With all the action in it, it can only look good at 50+Mbps bit rate at 4k.

 

[Bo_Hazem]

4K trailer:

Looks like BF4 remastered at best, but buying it anyway.

SlimySnake happy now? Told you it was PR BS.

I am so tired of this shit inengine cinematic bs. Cant sanction this buffoonery any longer.

It looks nothing like this:

 

[grfunkulus]

Can't wait for the right wingers to go apoplectic at the suggestion of the game being politicized with the emphasis on extreme weather in the future.

 

[CloudNull]

Some really cool physics going on that most people miss. Tanks treads actually deform over the terrain and in level events aren’t always the same.

Literally EA's Craig moment. They pushed expectations too high few days ago.

I already saw a comment here with someone calling it woke because of the climate change related future setting

 

[RNG]

I hope this game has input-based crossplay like COD, because yeah PC version of 5 was a dumpster fire of hackers using aimbots with the Lewis gun or any other LMG.

 

[IDappa]

Sold......

Looks like shit easily could of run on my OG Xbox..

 

[FIREKNIGHT2029]

It's a day one for me. The most impressive game shown at MS E3 conference.

 

[Kenpachii]

It looks nothing like this:

mcdonalds is so bad at this shit.

Everytime i got a burger there it looked like a road kill

 

[Shmunter]

Wtf is this? I must be seeing things because this looks like a downgrade from BF1 and BF5 visually.

 

[NeonGhost]

People must be new to gaming if they thought the in engine trailer was gonna be exactly how the game was gonna look

 

[HawarMiran]

I already saw a comment here with someone calling it woke because of the climate change related future setting

Whoever it was, is too deep in the rabbithole. Letgo you can't help

 

[Von Hugh]

I was underwhelmed.

 

[sinnergy]

I was underwhelmed.

Me 2 , seems lots of devs have been hit hard by corona .

 

[eastcoastkody]

so its $70. and theres 2 versions last gen and current gen. Last gen being cheaper. And no u can't buy the last gen version and just upgrade for free like every other single game.
this game was already on thin fking ice with me with how bad the last two Battlefields were.

will try the ea access trial or beta or whatever. And it will probably come to gamepass in less than a year just like 5

 

[SupremeHoodie]

My problem is bf is filled with cheaters. Every other lobby but ea and dice don’t seem to care.

 

[Black_Stride]

Wtf is this? I must be seeing things because this looks like a downgrade from BF1 and BF5 visually.

Its the pre Alpha.

This is exactly what people said going from
BF3 -> BF4 C.Beta
BF4 -> BF1 Alpha
BF1 -> BFV

Although BF1 to BFV is more understandable, BF1 had amazing atmosphere in MP so few maps in BFV had that level of atmosphere.

The final game "should" have more post effects enabled and higher quality textures and geometry.
If you entered any of the last Battlefield Alphas or even Betas you would see the final game looks much better than the Alpha or Beta test.

 

[Tschumi]

As usual it looks fantastic, as usual the main roadblock for me is that every match will have a handful of players who have memorised exactly where heads will pop out and exactly how to fire their snipers for instant headshots the moment those heads appear

 

[Blitzmangoman]

DICE always delivered in the graphics department. Chill.
They could have shown old alpha footage or something.

Pretty confident that it will look good.

 

[cormack12]

I'm absolutely awful at battlefield games but I'd really like to get comfortable playing this.

You can finish top of the leaderboard just by playing objective. Takes a while to get used to it but stay by your squad, don't go looking for kills and forget KDR. You know I didn't see anyone go prone in the trailer.......

I really like the look af switching loadout attachments on the fly mid game. Suppose it has to complement the changing encounters.

 

[Shmunter]

I hope you’re right. The footage here didn’t even look like frostbite being so plain.

 

[Black_Stride]

Blown away by how much is going on!

Graphics and choice of gameplay in it are incredible.

I'm absolutely awful at battlefield games but I'd really like to get comfortable playing this.

PTFO and/or play medic or support and youll be your teams/squads linchpin easy work.

If playing Conquest or Attacking Breakthrough basically get kills where you can but play like you are part of a much larger machine one man army'ing in Battlefield isnt all that important because of the number of players.

Stick with your squad follow orders and support your squad/team as much as you can.....youll be leaderboard topping every match.

Back in BF3 when no one would use the defib, i went something like 7 to 10 kdr but was top of the leaderboard 10 times outta 10.
Just needed the MVP strap so the easiest way without becoming a sweat lord was just to revive everyone i come by or supply ammo to everyone

 

[SatansReverence]

My problem is bf is filled with cheaters. Every other lobby but ea and dice don’t seem to care.

For every cheater that gets called out, there are hundreds of hackusations against legit players.
