Beautiful. I need to get back to BC2 stat.

 

[Easy_D]

Love the sound!
But it sounds like he screams "Kristoffer!" in Swedish (ie with a Swedish accent) just before the end. Maybe I'm just imagining things.

I hear it too, it really sounds like "Kristoffer!"

 

[Izayoi]

exactly.

You are officially the coolest Junior Member now lol

Aw shucks.

Man you can clearly see how hard it must be to push this door open. Unbelievable.

Of all the things that stuck out at me in the trailer, it was the animation that was easily the most noticeable. Finally we have bodies going limp realistically instead of flopping around like a fish out of water. ANT is turning out incredibly well. I was skeptical when I first read about them re-purposing something originally used for sports games but I can see now that fear was completely baseless.

 

[b.e.r.g]

It's not an expansion pack. It comes with all new copies of the game.

Basically, it's EA's way of saying "buy the game new".

$60 at release, $15 map pack after 2 months. History repeating.

I don't know, I might be old and grumpy, but rather that than "OMFG TAKE MY MONEY" after 4 seconds of flashing graphics...

 

[Stantron]

Looks amazing, I wonder how bad the console versions will look compared to this, no way I'm buying a new PC anytime soon.

I'm not a PC gamer, but if the difference is big enough, I might have to become one. I plan on building a new rig this year anyway so that would work out well.

If BC2 is ANY indication, all map packs will be FREE. An actual expansion pack (containing tons of maps, weapons, and new factions - you know, like a real expansion pack) will be released for $15 sometime later. That's how it worked on the PC. I can't speak for console versions but I would imagine they would be similar, right?

I like how as he moves the M4 you can see through the holes on the rail. Just looks so real.

Your team mates boot even looks great....DICE is officially god now.

 

[metareferential]

Best graphics evah?

Soooooooooo good.

 

[low-G]

BC2 liked CPU. I'd put money on Frostbite 2 still enjoying a quality quadcore or better.

Yea, I definitely noticed that.

I hope a.) Frostbite 1 just preferred CPU processor cycles / cores more because it was more of a console engine.

or b.) I can still manage 30fps with fairly maxed details with a high end GPU.

 

[PaddyOCanager]

Wow there is no way my PC will be able to handle that! Still, looks awesome and I can't wait to see more.

 

[Izayoi]

Best graphics evah?

Soooooooooo good.

Arguably, yes.

Actually, it probably IS the most visually impressive game from a technical standpoint, especially the lighting engine.

 

[wwm0nkey]

Its going to be so good to see DICE take the title of Best Graphics

Wonder how many awards this game will get (we all know it will get awards)

 

[eznark]

Been waiting for this to come out to do a full rebuild. So excited!

Hmm... well that is acceptable. I'll keep a small dose of hope then, but not holding my breath!

 

[EmCeeGramr]

no seriously holy shit

 

[Blackface]

I have not gotten my mind blown over a game in a long time.

My mind was just blown.

 

[Tarin02543]

looks fantastic but do not forget your promises Dice, I want airplanes and moveable aircraft carriers.

 

[RoboPlato]

I'll be interested to see comparisons of Frostbite 2.0, CryEngine 3, and idTech 5 as multiplatform engines. Good to see new engines that are utilizing PC and consoles well. Everyone wins then.

 

[Corky]

I don't know if this is because I'm a dry old cynical geezer, but I refuse to believe this is not altered even slightly.

There's been postprocessingdealies added to the gameplay sections of the teaser. I can tell by working with pixels etc.

 

[JoeBoy101]

January 2nd, 2011.

*speaking to self*

So Joeboy, I wonder, should I upgrade my PC. Its not THAT old and not sure how awesome SB chips will be. Hell, why not? You know you always wanted to build your own.

February 23rd, 2011.

 

[Clevinger]

fuck. we'll never see Mirror's Edge on this tech. It would have looked soooo good.

 

[DSN2K]

Im quite happy with my 3.1ghz X3 445 till 2012. Ive not even tried to unlock it or overclock yet so I have room for improvements, but I'll update my graphics card when this comes out for sure.

 

[Thermite]

*sees video and gifs*

GIVE ME THIS GAME NOW

 

[PSYGN]

Looks good, but...

Looks good.

I don't think it's bullshot. The lighting, color composition, and motion blur are just so well done that it looks like a film, and youtube's compression hides a lot of the imperfections. A "1080p" YouTube video isn't even as detailed as a 480p DVD.

 

[Wazzim]

Just make how they did this good man, looks!
wow

I don't think DICE has ever been one to bullshit around with stuff that's not representative of the final product.

Have they ever released a pre-rendered trailer before?

 

[cameltoe]

wow

WOW is right!

 

[Salsa]

Well, i see a full rebuild coming my way.

Time to save up.

 

[Nekrono]

Just saw some supposed in game screenshots which I assume are also from the same level shown in the trailer and I have to say they look good but I didn't get that WOW factor from the video, I hope DICE releases some more longer footage soon.

But yeah that video does look pretty awesome!

 

[reKon]

Looks great, day 1!!!!!

KZ3 and BC2 will be my two shooters until this one. Then I think that no other shooters will matter to me for the rest of the gen.

Fall '11 is going to be loaded from Mass Effect 3, Uncharted 3, Battlefield 3. And then I might fuck around around and start buying a ton of shit that I don't have time to play like Skyrim and other games, ARRRRGGHHH

There needs to be a buy two get one free sale every month for this year from the major video game retailers.

Also, was this PC footage because this looked really impressive..

 

[TheSeks]

That dragging could just be some single player canned animation stuff.

No. It's been confirmed Frostbite 2 is gonna have better destruction, animations (using EA sports locomotion shit) and dragging friendlies into cover when they're shot and using cover as tripod/gun steadying.

That is, if GameInformer and DICE's hype-train is right.

Wonder how many awards this game will get (we all know it will get awards)

It better get the famous "NeoGAF Game of the Year, ALL YEARS" award, like Bad Company 2 should of gotten over intergalactic talkie-talkie sex-simulator 2last year. >:|

What you probably saw were shots cropped from scans or photos, and maybe some low-res ones cut out of a PDF.

Those do not beat direct-feed HD footage as far as accurate representation of the game goes.

Their BFBC1 pre-release screenshots were usually a little bullshotty.

 

[Diablohead]

Also, was this PC footage because this looked really impressive..

of course it is, for videos like this they are going to use the most power they can, those clips were more then likely super sampled from a high res and image dumped as bmp's then worked on in a video editor.

 

[Atrophis]

I dont even like the OG battlefield games but fuck me that looks like a thing of beauty indeed.

 

[Jin34]

If you had told me those gifs came from a launch game for next gen systems (Wii 2, Xbox 3, PS4) I would have believed you.

True, and actually they had some pretty awful compression but they are new and actually they don't look "scanned" if you know what I mean, I just read it on the post and contained myself from posting them.

He's bitching about Project $10, which was the "VIP" code in BC2. Here, it's gonna be "You bought used? Pay $10-15 for Karkand."

 

[heyf00L]

This is the time that the next gen systems should be launching, so it makes sense that current PCs can pull this kind of thing off.

The highly-detailed models and textures are nice, but what's really making it look spectacular is the real-time ambient occlusion and radiosity. Too bad I'll be running this on lowest settings for the time being.

 

[Max]

BACK TO KARKAND?!

AS I PRE ORDER THE LIMITED EDITION

 

[Feindflug]

OK I just saw the trailer and all I have to say is OMFG!....simply amazing visuals - maybe the most impressive and realistic game I've ever seen, the lighting is out of this world.

Really curious to see what Dice can do with this beauty on the PS3 & 360, if they manage to get this engine running a steady frame-rate, at 720p with a decent AA solution on the consoles then I guess we will see the best looking console game in a few months.

 

[Nekrono]

I really hope my 6950 is up for the task when this comes out, Im unsure I'll be able to max it out with AA though.

 

[blazinglazers]

BF3 shaping up to be the greatest of all time.

Of all time.

 

[Max]

I hope my 4890 is up to this. Graphics look insane.

That's what I'm really looking toward. I want to see how well Frostbite 2 handles on PS3/360. That was pretty much their development goal (parity among all the platforms) with those leaked Frostbite 2 development con slides, IIRC.

 

[subversus]

the engine is DX11 focused.

PC, man. We don't need next-gen, we can have it now.

 

[derFeef]

Mhhh
/me glances angry at dudes posting gifs on their forum and claim they made it.
Ah I will get over it.
