Gamersyde pls show these plebs how its done.

I heard that

 

[fluffydelusions]

Wait, what the shit, Battlefield isn't 1080p either? Whats the point of these new consoles?

This was said months ago at e3 that next gen bf4 is sub 1080p

 

[Skeff]

Hoping that's because of pre-release code..........you can't just have no shadows in a (next gen) game...surely....

There'll be shadows, though I understand it would be concerning as theres only around 4 weeks until this goes gold, possibly less, but this is likely a very old but stable build. When games are shown like this they generally use a stable build even if it isn't their newest.

 

[Liquidsnake]

Man... something was missing from those videos, those graphics looked pretty rough.

So many shadows were completely absent, especially those lined up tanks, they weren't casting any shadows or anything on the ground.

It's hard to tell from a shaky video, but it looked like one or both was missing from that video

1) Shadows from various objects were missing
2) Ambient Occlusion seemed to be missing

Are you serious?
C'mon man. Even that garbage phone quality capture looked incredible.

 

[The Faceless Master]

I wouldn't call less than a minute of shakey cam footage thread worthy

at this point, a postage sized photo from a $10 flip phone would be thread worthy.

everyone wants to know what the game looks like on the upcoming consoles.

Incredible my ass

Not saying it looks like shit, but to call it incredible is a bit hyperbolic

If it matters so much to you, get it on PC.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

I'm very happy with the graphics of next-gen consoles. Again, if pushing resolution, fps, and other graphical effects matters to someone, they should probably go PC.

 

[Dictator93]

There were no shadows.

That literally makes the game look horrible.

 

[The Faceless Master]

Lol that is kz:sf. This is locked 60 fps right?

locked at 60fps... you got jokes!

 

[RoboPlato]

Alpha build but it is pretty concerning they are still this far from gold or very old demo...

I know the beta for BF3 was really rough and that was a few weeks from launch. I doubt they'll hit 1080p on either next gen console but they could be making good progress. They'll also have a few weeks to focus on next gen versions since the current gen and PC versions will be out the door first.

 

[Bitmap Frogs]

In the beginning of the video... around the tanks, no object has a shadow. No shadows are being rendered....

Battlefield 2 confirmed for xb1

The cloud is blocking the sun, hence no shadows, duh.

 

[Popup]

More interested in how the video looks so smooth in Youtube!

Massive trails on motion when paused. Have they left the TV Motionflow(tm) on? How odd.

 

[Liquidsnake]

You guys are so quick to poop on everything. It looks 10x better than current gen BF3.
The lighting is amazing. And we are talking about a phone camera.

 

[belvedere]

Tearing @32?

Looks damn smooth.

 

[pixlexic]

frame rate in that video look a lot better than the ps4 video.

could just be the difference in the videos ..but just saying.

PS4 vid was on a much busier map right? Shanghai city setting.

 

[fluffydelusions]

Power of the cloud will lock the framerate

 

[UNCMark]

No wonder I'm so good at shooters. Everyone else is too busy looking for shadows and texture problems on rocks.

 

[theviolenthero]

Guess you didn't get the memo that "cloud" jokes are played out?

My excuse is that I'm drunk

 

[SoldierGryphon]

To be clear, we are talking about an unfinished game, recorded on a phone, and captured in an small image.

 

[skdoo]

Disappointing... DICE better get it together because they are getting smoked by the first parties on both consoles. KZ looks WAY better than this.

 

[Dictator93]

I would not try and deduce much about framerate from a YOUTUBE video.

ON the other hand... completely missing world shadows is easily deduced...

 

[Liquidsnake]

No wonder I'm so good at shooters. Everyone else is too busy looking for shadows and texture problems on rocks.

Its really disheartening to come in here and celebrate what next gen has to offer, and we get all this hate and complaining.

I am so excited for this next generation, its long overdue. I am hyped about everything PS4 and Xbox.

People were saying the same thing during bf3 beta on console too iirc

 

[Lakitu]

Eh, not going to judge until we get some direct-feed footage.

Woo. Common sense.

Battlefield 2 confirmed for xb1

I'm waiting for the BF4 version of this slide:

 

[majik13]

No shadows under tanks. Low settings confirmed.

first thing I noticed. I actually didn't see any shadows anywhere, that is a bit concerning. Though was kind of hard to follow with that camera work.

For comparison - off screen PS4 Battlefield 4 gameplay.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DUTHvYj_4vA

ps4 version has shadows...feeling better.

edit: I can definitely see some environment shadows on the screen to the left though in the XBox video upon further views.

 

[Silly.Mikey]

Dat camera man needs to get elbowed.

 

[Animator]

Do we know how many MP levels are there in the base game?

 

[ShowDog]

Wow the IQ of that sub true-HD resolution doesn't look native. Are they using programable shaders or is the eSRAM frame buffer hitching at the graphics API? What sort of bit bus was the build built for, 4 GB or 8 GB?

I thought were up too 256 bits all the way thru the system?! WTF

 

[Sitrus]

I'm waiting for the BF4 version of this slide:

Low=Similar visuals to consoles

 

[The Faceless Master]

couldn't get the memo, my jokes cloudsync is down

 

[Impeccable]

Uh oh.

 

[TrueGrime]

I'm waiting for the BF4 version of this slide:

8800 GTS. Damn. I remember having one of those.... back in 06.

 

[bjscott05]

That slide is from BF3 on ps3/360 iirc.

 

[ekim]

Low=Similar visuals to consoles

Current gen consoles. This slide is from BF3 afaik.

 

[XtremeXpider]

Low=Similar visuals to consoles

Read again, "the BF4 version of those image", then, the image is for BF3.

 

[The Faceless Master]

Low=Similar visuals to consoles

that is from a BF3 presentation.

 

[majik13]

I think 10 based off the thread from yesterday...

Thanks, was a bit scared there for a moment

Let's not worry about graphics anyway, it's all about the gameplay, right? Right?!

Dat camera man needs to get elbowed.

The camera dude's trying SO HARD to prove this is running on the Xbone.

 

[twobear]

There's surely no way in hell they'll ship it without shadows.

 

[LtOrange]

Looks 100% better than BF3 on my PS3. That is all I can ask for.

 

[AmyS]

This is how I feel. If my laptop can run bf4 I will buy there if not ps4 it is. I enjoyed bf3 on both PC and ps3

Sounds good.

When BF3 came out in 2011 I had a decent (not by any means high-end) PC with GTX 460 1 GB. Since I was only gaming @ 1080p I got good framerates (even 60fps much of the time) with most settings on ultra. I just kept AA to a minimum since I did not have the highest-end NV GPU (a GTX 580 I think). I've never played BF3 on 360 or PS3.

It crazy though, these guys are making 5 versions of the game, that i know of. And this is a big scale game.....Im expecting tons of glitches at launch. Im also expecting this game to not work properly until patch number 3 at the very least.

I was actually surprised it looked as good as it did.

yeah, I have great fear for the beta...especially on current gen consoles. have they even shown any current gen versions at all? *shudders*


though I could maybe see it not being bad as, as the BF3 beta, as the visuals are not a huge leap over BF3, and the engine seems to be a more updated and stable version of FB2.
