Wow. I thought Neogaf was better than this - and we have mods in this thread supporting it? Perhaps I should cease on my efforts to move out of junior status. It hardly seems worth it.
PC gamers should be happy that the peasant console gamers are the ones that have been driving developers to make games. If is was not for consoles, PC users would still be drooling over Minesweeper and Solitaire. Yes the 360 and PS3 are getting a little old now, plus more and more games are coming to consoles and PC. Next gen will be very interesting when the gap closes and developers have more console power to play with.
PC will always lead the way in new technology, since they are always churning something new and better every few months. Such is the price of being a PC gamer.

Well I imagine between the two console versions, they'll outsell the PC one, and more of the marketing budget will be targeted at those player bases, but from a technical stand point it does appear to have lead on PC, which I believe they've commented on publicly. There are marketing reasons they'd lie, i.e. console gamers probably don't care, PC gamers might get behind a game leading on PC more easily etc, but the PC version doesn't look like it's a console port at all, to me at least.raphier said:I dont think its ported. They can claim that, but console can still be their main sku all they want. I mean sure the PC version looks hawt, because the engine was kind of made for that, tested on it. But if its anything like DXHR, the console was their main thingyet PC still looked good.

Happens when people who dont play on consoles comment. or go by the screens posted in the first page.
PC Versions looks great and much better then console but the console version looks good imo in the videos and those screenshots hardly i feel represent howw the game will look.
Edit - Basically everyone are commenting on the screenshots posted in the first page and not on the videos

Lol^^
Anyway, I've pretty much allready decided to wait buying this game until I either get enough money to build a new PC or it comes to WiiU with 64 player support. Don't care about graphics, but 64 vs 24 players is a deal breaker to me.

Not only that but the fact that the videos were ripped at a scarcely low resolution of 256x144 and 384x216, there is no way anyone can judge the final product seeing these.

Nice title change, but OP is still off a bit. Needs a link to the source on reddit.
And the fact that these shots/videos aren't all from the latest build - some are and some are from the pre-alpha build.
This would be a good addition as well:

The disc says pre-alpha ... are you sure this is the latest build?
Not that I think it would affect the graphics, but, well, would that affect the graphics?

I don't see it as being different at all. Regardless of when it was released, comparing the HD twins to Wii is a gap of 5 years of hardware. One side looked better and one side looked much, much worse. Now that the 360/PS3 are in the Wii's position, trolling isn't so funny anymore.
Everyone on GAF loves comparing graphics. That is, until there is a clear winner and that clear winner is not your platform of choice or something you own. The double standard is really bothersome.

There are millions of whiny 5-year olds on Earth, and I AM THEIR KING.
I don't understand the intent of this thread. From what I can gather, Battlefield 3 will challenge even the most powerful kinds of hardware, therefore the fact that consoles are underpowered doesn't affect the PC version of the game at all. If this is the case, why does it matter to a player who will play the PC version of BF3 if consoles are weak or not?
Valve and Blizzard, will develop targetting the most common hardware around (GeForce 9800). Crytek already proved their claims that the changes from Crysis 1 to Crysis 2 were strictly design decisions. Games like The Witcher 2 exist as they are and an eventual console port (360) doesn't affect the quality of the PC version. With all of these examples, why would a PC gamer care if consoles are weak? I don't see consoles really holding back PC gaming, and if they are, BF3 is clearly not an example of it.

Because 99% of PC gamers also play on consoles (not sure why this is forgotten) and an unfortunate side effect of that is being reminded of how much better console games could look with newer hardware. I can see why someone who only experiences what consoles give them might not care, but I want all of my games to look good, not just my PC games.

i dont want to ruin the pc party in here, but i find the footage looks absolutely stunning when you think about the limitations of the console hardware.
i myself would have never expected it to be that good looking. especially the paris destruction demo video was awesome i think. Let alone the lighting, it looks 1000 times better than the one found BFBC2 if you ask me.

I don't see any issues with this footage, the game is of course going to be superior looking & performing on a decent gaming PC, but it's still going to look and most importantly play awesomely on the consoles.
I'm personally buying the PC and the PS3 versions. PC for the single player and the bigger online battles, and PS3 to play with my mates - which I'm sure I'll enjoy more regardless of the graphical downgrades.

Other than the crappy self shadowing on the jet next to yours, videos look pretty good honestly. No motion blur, but good framerate too. Looks like X360 version won't be a trainwreck some people were expecting it to be. We've already seen the more comprehensive footage of the PS3 version, and that looked very good too.
I do, and it outperforms consoles, but for the reasons of home layout and convenience, I hardly ever use it for gaming. I just can't be arsed, I guess.TURNCLOAK said:

That's not the case if the context in which you are comparing them is "Are we ready for the next generation of consoles yet?" PC games always look better than console games - even the day new consoles are released (and usually when comparing the best looking game from the END of a console's life vs the best looking PC game at the start of that same console's life, on a PC typical for that era). But this gap gets gradually bigger and bigger over the course of a consoles life cycle, and - again, in the context of asking whether or not it's time for a new generation of consoles - if all you compare console games to is other console games, you'll never get to the answer of "yes, it is time." The PC is the benchmark - that doesn't mean you need to match it when releasing a new console, but it's the bell-weather of the future expectations of graphics.KageMaru said:
