Well I mean, we do have 1080p/60fps games this gen, just that they look like PS2 titles.
I imagine if you left your graphics and technology entirely alone, that would be doable next gen. It's just that you probably wouldn't want to.
I'm also expecting a fair share of developers to go 720p/30fps (or subHD/unstable 30fps) for the most power possible.

I'd be pretty shocked if it was 1080p. You would sap up most of your power benefit doing both fps and resolution boosts.
I'm fairly surprised at the proposed 60 fps even, since I assume they don't intend on dropping it as the generation goes on, but perhaps they feel that they don't need the extra resources for the gameplay changes they want to do, so just upped the framerate.
- it will be on the big 3 current gen systems as well as next gen platforms (only sony and M$, as well as pc)
Wait, so it's coming out on the wii but not on the wii u?
Read the updated translation.
Thanks for the updated translation. Developing a game on five platforms is going to stress DICE hard. Just the QA and certification alone is going to be crazy.
I am getting the feeling next gen development is going to be a paradise for all kinds of outsourcing.
You don't think a next gen console will be able to take a current gen game (that can run at 720p/60fps on curren gen consoles) and run it at 1080p/60fps?
It doesn't seem that unreasonable to me. Assuming they are primarily developing this game for PS3/360.
I do think that framerate will drop to 30 (and resolution possibly to 720p) when Battlefield 5 drops, though. B4 will be a current gen game running on next gen hardware, as will most launch games.
To get full benefit out of the series all games since BF2 have had that.So always online DRM...
They can F*** Off!

Did you not notice BF2's lengthy login process required to access a server browser? Third party launchers needing that login and password to access the game. Without a connection to ea.com you were limited to lan play.No they did not.
Do you even know the meaning of always online DRM?
Being online to play internet MP =! Always online DRM.
bf3 was released 18 months after bc2!Bullshit. Are there 1500 people working simultaneously on the game or something?
Wait, so it's coming out on the wii but not on the wii u?
I wonder if it will look significantly better than BF3? Or rather a slight visual upgrade.
And Released on both next gen consoles by Oct 2013? This goes against the latest 2014 rumors for next gen, no?
Lasgana said:: bf4 will use 80% of power of frostbite 2, wheras bf3 only 30-40%

so much bullshit in the OP from anyone who has minimal knowledge of how the industry works, I don't think thats a genuine "leak". I'm sorry for everyone who could beleive that stuff.
edit: cant beleive some of you guys eat the "30% vs 80%" stuff... damn neogaf is getting sad.
FPS lock on PC? Lololololololol.
Big 3 current-gen systems? Wii? Lololololololol.
1-year development cycle? Lolololololololololololololololololololol.
Also, wtf does it mean to utilize X% of an engine? Wtf? Available effects? What?

Which is why it's a rumor, since as you know, EA hasn't officially said anything.
Also do you seriously believe DICE maxed out their engine entirely with BF3? If you understand engine development that's not how it works. With further optimization you get better performance. Hence the 30% and 80% stuff.
This goes with every engine.
Should/Can we assume that either PS4 or 720 will launch around October 2013?
Lasgana: matching the quality of BF3 already
- BF4 has a 1yr development cycle and has a tenative launch date of oct 23rd 2013
This bodes well for it being less shit than Battlefield 3:
Then again:
So PS4 / XBOX 720 are released by October 2013?
So PS4 / XBOX 720 are released by October 2013?
What does locked FPS even mean? You can't lock the framerate to a minimum.
DLC?
The current gen versions will be a joke. I can't wait to see how bad they look
The 360 version might have been fine (never played it) but everyone that bought it on the PS3 should have gotten a refund. Good grief.Will look like or better than BF3 on consoles, wich was okay if you never saw it on pc.
