Where is this being shown off at? Sorry if I missed it. Is it the battlefield website I guess? Must be since it's pretty trashed right now.

Ok, but this is Battlefield...

I'm perplexed at how many people are looking forward to seeing single player gameplay. This is Battlefield. The single player is like a disgusting dip with that comes with your food and gets thrown away.

DICE Reveals Next Generation of Battlefield --; New Benchmark in Game Design, Multiplayer Engagement


Battlefield 4 to Deliver Human, Dramatic and Believable Action, Powered by Best-in-Class Frostbite 3 Technology

REDWOOD CITY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Only in Battlefield™ can players go through a building instead of around it or eject from a jet and take out the enemy mid-free fall. Those incredible gameplay moments that blur the line between game and glory can only be created by players, and occur only in Battlefield. DICE, a studio of Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: EA), today announced Battlefield 4™, a genre-defining action blockbuster launching in Fall 2013. Powered by the advanced technology of DICE's proprietary Frostbite™ 3 engine, Battlefield 4 offers players a glimpse into the future of interactive entertainment — a future that is more human, dramatic and believable than anything before it. With more than 65 million players worldwide, the Battlefield series has consistently been praised by critics for its world-class multiplayer gameplay, and is recognized as the only game that allows players to own land, sea and air.

Battlefield 4 is a seminal moment for the Battlefield series as more award-winning, multiplayer game design elements are incorporated into the single-player campaign. In single-player, gamers will experience huge environments, a playground of destruction, access to an arsenal of vehicles and the ability to direct squad mates. Taking a page from the social aspect of multiplayer gaming, the single-player mode will now track players' progress, adding an element of persistence and friendly competition to the campaign.

The game made its world debut today with a staggering 17-minute gameplay demo, available for view at Battlefield.com. The demo begins as the player — Recker — opens his eyes to discover that he is trapped in a rapidly sinking car with three of his squad mates. Shooting the window is the only way out. Panic and fear are pushed aside as Recker makes a difficult decision — take the shot and recover the intel but risk that not everyone will survive. The emotional demo features a cast of characters unrivaled in interactive entertainment. Players will learn how to work together in both the Campaign and Multiplayer, issuing squad orders and comparing achievements in both experiences. Adventure and Competition will unfold through a series of beautifully crafted locations constructed with some of the best art and sound design in modern shooters. All of this is only possible with Frostbite 3 — a new standard for interactive entertainment in 2013.

"We are so humbled and proud to debut Battlefield 4 on a global stage with simultaneous events in San Francisco and Stockholm. To be this early in development, and to already be so polished is a huge achievement for the DICE team and reflection of their passion and commitment to driving the franchise forward. Today's demo was just the beginning -- we have so much more in store," said Patrick Soderlund, Executive Vice President, EA Games Label. "It is thrilling to witness peoples' reaction when seeing the game for the first time. It really makes you realize that we are at the beginning of a whole new era for gaming. As artists and craftspeople, we are focused on creating a dynamic, open design that brings people together with amazing, surprising unscripted moments that they'll talk about for days. That's the beauty of Battlefield."

By pre-ordering Battlefield 4 at any participating retail outlet, gamers will receive a Premium expansion pack at no additional cost*. DICE also announced today Battlefield 4 Digital Deluxe, an Origin™ exclusive special edition that includes the base game and bonus in-game digital items. Players that pre-order Battlefield 4 Digital Deluxe* on Origin will also receive the Premium expansion pack as well as access to the exclusive Battlefield 4 multiplayer beta.

So there are BF fans who buy the game for the single player and don't play the multiplayer?

If they space out the DLC & the GOTY version like they did with 3 I'm sold. By the time Premium came out you could still trade in the game for around $30, wait for a discount and essentially get Premium for $20.

Not really ideal but I got around 5-6 friends who weren't thinking of upgrading at all to do so, so i'll do more of the same if the options there. If there's such things as used games by the time BF4 releases

Haha, I like how there haven't been any replies... everyone's busy watching.

Guess I'll be the first to say then, those graphics look fucking sweet.

I hate fps multiplayer games. I can barely stand the motion sickness in single player and i'm afraid multiplayer would give me a seizure. Also at my age, not having a story kinda defeats the purpose of playing a videogame. I'm sure it's the same for lots of casuals.

Graphics are nice, slight step up from Frostbite 2.

But its single player so I couldn't give 2 shards about it.

Direct quotes:


Soldier:

"A dog can only live if it cuts off a limb and becomes a wolf."

Soldier:

"We're wolves now, TAKE THE GUN, be a wolf!"

Brilliant scripting.

Haha yeah. In BC2 and BF3 the writing was one of the weaker parts, seems like the case again in 4. The guy getting pinned twice, within a few minute span? Really? Thats all they could think of plotwise? Seems like same old, same old from previous BF single player portions (Other than BC1, really enjoyed that SP).

Edit: Ugh, the dubstep is back and its terrible.

still looks like frostbyte 2

Yep.

Im basically convinced at this point that BF3 was rushed and couldn't take full advantage of Frostbyte 2.

So, they started on BF4 to take full advantage and thought "Hell, lets just call it Frostbyte 3 for marketing purposes."

That is 100% true, I guarantee it. That or DICE are the fastest and BEST engine designers / builders in the frigging world.

There are clearly features here that weren't in BF3, such as better fluid dynamics.

I'd have to agree with this.

At the same time though, graphics aren't going to visually improve enough for us to determine a difference because they are getting closer and closer to realism.
