Since 2008, DICE has released:
Battlefield: Bad Company (2008)
Battlefield Heroes (2009)
Battlefield 1943 (2009)
Battlefield: Bad Company 2 (2010)
Battlefield: Bad Company 2: Vietnam (2010)
Battlefield 3 (2011)
And people have the nerve to complain about COD being overexposed.

Who said anything about the PC version? the PC version is a safe bet, it's gonna be amazing and by far the superior version, we all know it - I'm just curious to see how they will handle things on the consoles and how will BF3 compare (mainly because it's a game based on a multiplatform engine) to the best looking consoles games out there in terms of eye candy and of course tech.

So we'll be fighting terminators in this one, right?

Dat lighting and animation!
This doesn't look like a battlefield game to me though. If you told me it was mw3 or moh2 i would believe you. To me bf games had a slightly more comic/game look to it. This has a more gritty realistic look imo. I'm not saying that this is a bad thing either. I'm hyped!

And yet, unlike CoD, they take an engine and IMPROVE it instead of sitting on a 10 year old FPS arena engine and rehashing gameplay.
!Call me when CoD improves their destruction to have buildings collapse all over the map on the Q3A engine. OH WAIT, that's not possible on the Q3A engine. MY BAD!
Pretty much.

COD releases a new game to take the other's place every single year. The games are virtually identical. The slight difference slowly add up, but it's a constant barrage of the same shit.
Battlefield is a brand, not just a single game. 1943, Heroes, Badcompany, and Battlefield 2/3/4 are all seperate games, that play differently.
Battlefield 3 is the sequel to Battlefield 2, which was released almost 6 years ago.
1943 is an Arcade game
Heroes is a F2P cartoon style browser based game for kids
Bad Company is their Arcade style, fast paced style of game.
They could all easily be named different things, as they are very different from eachother, with similarities being the typical shooter standard (ranks, unlocks etc..)
If you don't know, now you know

This is the best looking game I've ever seen. The real-time lighting and animation are otherworldly
Anyone who played BC2 on PC have an idea of how well a 5770 1gb + quad core + 4gb ram can run this? Think I could do high setting on 1650x1000 res?

The attention to detail on weapons and uniforms is spot on, as are the environments from what I can tell (the middle eastern looking ones).
Sadly I think PC sales may be held back due to how these screens/videos look since it seems to be another "crysis" type game at launch. (gonna need a powerful rig)
I know many will upgrade/build a new PC for this game, but that's not what the majority of people will likely do, and this game at least at first glance appears to be demanding. I'm worried my PC wouldn't even run it at medium settings and my PC is still pretty good for today's standard.

Yeah, you can see a really heavy influence from Medal of Honor's multiplayer art design. The lighting isn't THAT pretty, and the engine isn't as destruction heavy, but I look at MoH and I can't help but feel that the game was a testbed for getting certain things together like sound design, explosions (they seem pretty damned close down to the dark, warm tint of the screen), and weapon & character models for console. I'm going to keep my more-than-capable-of-at-least-medium 5670 around, but I might end up getting a new mobo, CPU, case and PSU for when this comes out since I'm sort of limited by my AM2+ CPU socket on my current mobo. I'll start setting money aside now...GeneralIroh said:

Damn. Now I sit here wondering what it will actually look like on my machine.

Wow, console version looks aweeeeesome, can't wait to see how godly is the PC version.
Finally a Killzone 3 contender.

Interesting - is that per-object motion blur I'm seeing when the player exits the transport? Specifically
Notice the scope. I didn't notice it in motion and it could simply be video encoding/gif capture oddities *shrug* At the same time I wouldn't be surprised if they were using some offset frame interleave trick (I believe Halo Reach and the Star Wars Unleashed games used this??), but the offset being really wide in this scene.
Basically I'm really eager to read up on what Digital Foundry will say about the engine, always fascinated by what visual tricks devs stick into their games

With Call of Duty going down in quality these days, and Infinity Ward barely being the same studio leaving me feeling less than optimistic about MW3, it might time for me to jump ship...

it could be very close to a console version looking at the screens.Relaxed Muscle said:

BC2 is the best multiplayer FPS shooter right now, in consoles, probably is way better than COD in PC also, so might as well jump now....BC2 is awesome.

Hopefully it's more than just Basra, there are much "better" places to place a game in the context of the Iraqi conflict than Basra.

I hated BC2. Felt so.. bland compared to MW and MW2, so I'm hoping this steps it up a notch.Relaxed Muscle said:
I only played the SP, for the record, but that bored me so much I felt no desire to go online, which is enough for me.

BC2 SP campaign is the very definition of bland.Multiplayer is where the game shines.

I always do SP before MP, ever since the first COD. If a game doesn't impress me in SP I don't move on to MP, that's just the way I play.

Maybe but the gameplay in SP is usually representative of MP. In BC2 it didn't grab me, so eh.
That BF3 footage looks cool, though, so I hope to be impressed more this time.
I play quite a lot of online games... so presumably not many!
