Pocket-lint: ''Need for Speed: Rivals, a next and current-generation driving game from Electronic Arts, is unique in that it uses a modified version of the much-acclaimed Frostbite 3 engine. The game development technology is best known for powering the Battlefield series of first person shooters, but its latest iteration has been customised to be the engine behind the new racer from start-up development studio Ghost Games.''
Battlefield Game Director asks fans map layout & location preferences; confirms Frostbite is getting some "much needed upgrades."
Just go and play BF3 and BF4 included all DLCs and your questions will be answered.
this is how you make studios do better. Not by threats, not by screaming, not by DDoS and not by hacking. You simply just don't buy or play the game. When the revenue dries up, they will be very happy to take your feedback so they can get back to taking your money. This method forces them to simply make better products at a better value and we see it beginning to happen here.
They have had this obsession with being COD for quite some time now. In doing so the franchise has gone completely down the sh*tter because of it.
They failed to realize the man power COD invests in content both story, co-op, and multiplayer PVP. There is a literal army for each and every release.
Battlefield use to have the entirety of DICE on each and every project they released. However once Battlefront returned to EA you could see the quality of each and every game after that suffer from diminishing returns.
DICE as a studio simply couldn’t handle more than one project at a time. Yet they plowed ahead anyway and fans of Battlefield and Star Wars suffered because of it.
And while yes they did right the Battlefront 2 and Battlefield 5 ships respectively. In the end those titles were abandoned to work on the next half baked project.
I just don’t see how DICE recovers from the incompetence. Maybe just maybe they’ll pull a Modern Warfare 2019 out of their ass and restore the timeline.
But as it stands today I have little to no confidence in them producing anything but mediocrity. I suspect many of you feel the same way.
The crazy part is they have the templates of what people want. Battlefield 3, 4, and Bad Company 2 are all anyone wants Battlefield games to be
Same gameplay. Updated graphics. Lots of weapons. New maps. New armies. Same classic game modes. Maybe a new game mode or two. No paid loot boxes. Preferably a single player campaign.
It's really not hard. That's the formula that kept this franchise alive and thriving for almost 15 years. This is the formula that kept fans happy and spending money. Why try to change that?
Go away with that crap. It's been 20 years since the original BF1942 and nothing was done to celebrate that. There should have been a BF1942 remake + both expansions done in the new game engine.
Son of Dadisajoke gets the ultimate high score in Frostbite. This is one of his favorite Atari 2600 games, and he goes all out to get the high score.
DSOGaming writes: "Electronic Arts and DICE have released some videos, showcasing the new hair rendering techniques that have been implemented in the Frostbite Engine. As the publisher noted, its goal is to produce a step change in real-time hair and reach results close to movie and offline rendering."
So...now we're going to have to pay for hair?
Nice work EA. You guys are killin' it.
Are you just looking for drama? It’s a tech demo. Chill the F out. Annoying. Also grow up.
Same can be said of you. He doesn't like EA. Just let the guy make his comment. What is it with you, are you with the Comment Police Squad?
"Are you just looking for drama? It’s a tech demo. Chill the F out. Annoying." - Well. I can see how you take that personally. I mean it was directed at...?
"Also grow up." - Nice edit. Really brought some perspective to your original ,err, whatever that was. Now can we stay on topic like adults? Or alternatively you could use the time for a cookie, nap, hug. Whatever you need to stop being cranky big boy.
@Kumakai, why not just ban opinions all together. Better yet, lets not even have a comment section at all.
@Fluttershy77 Same can be said for you too. He can comment on his comment. Why are you being the comment police squad. And you and say the same for me. Everyone can say their point without you mentioning the first point. It's obvious.
Born2game
Yes, same can be said of you. He can comment on his comment on his comment, lol jk. This is fun!
EA bring it on themselves with their shameless greed. He's obviously poking fun in a semi joking manner, perhaps you need to take your own advice and chill the F out? Telling him to grow up just makes you look childish for taking a comment on the internet so personally.
HAir has been one of the hardest things to make look realistic historically in gaming.
Agreed. This isn't a game. It's a tech demo. Tressfx, hairworks and all the rest are only hamstrung by processing power and latency.
You could run with half floats and just brute force it. You'd want to reduce the noise afterward but it'd be your cheapest option.
Did you want to talk about the tech or the fact that this isn't a game?
I remember seeing a behind the scenes for Monsters inc and the programmers saying the hair physics on Sully were next to impossible to pull off but they did it. That was years ago on high end workstations. We really are getting the Pixar level of tech for next gen games.
Everytime someone says this, Square's upper management kills a kitten. They nailed the hair years ago with FF Spirits Within but cost them so much money that they nearly went bankrupt in the process. I guess you did say gaming but they proved it's possible.
I would have appreciated if it was a new joke or something..but this is basically the oveeer recycled joke for the fake internet points...not only that but it's directed at a tech demo.
Replies(2)What does the 'So...' beginning of your comment mean, are you making a statement or asking a question?
Absolute lies and slander! Base hair will be free, apologists will leap to their defence because it's an ongoing service where we will get non paid for options months down the line which we will never see because it'll sell poorly and EA will pull the plug.
Your comment is childish just because you dislike EA doesn’t mean they can’t do some things right
its a little scary looking. I didn't think we could have uncanny valley apart from face/body. This looks so real that there is an uneasy feeling as if something is quite not right.

@buttAnihilator
Yeah, that is definitely affecting it. But, also, it looks like the hairs move in cohort a bit too much. They all move in the same direction, the same distance, and at the same time. Normal hairs move in groups some groups move more while others in a different position move less or later, etc..
but thats not to take anything away from this, it looks legit. Just a little 'creepy', and like you said, the mannequins don't help. lol
Next Battlefield I will be playing a long haired guy. Try killing me while your fps drops towards 1.
I don't think it is. You can have the best hair in the world but you mention the word microtransaction and all gaming forums will hate you
If they had hair looking like this and ray tracing, with graphics like The Order 1886 but in 4K 60fps with no black border or film grain, a seamless open world and loading times like that Spiderman PS5 demo, then I'd be one happy gamer. That's probably a bit much to ask for all at once though, haha.
You forgot the most important part. Delusional console fanboys want all that but they want to pay only $400
I've been hearing people talk 500 more than 400. How is it delusional to be off by 100?
Seems more delusional to think the next consoles will be more than 500.
I hope open worlds get scaled back next generation. So many IPs have been ruined this generation making the transition to open world.
@hammy,
Yeah, all of that is probably two or three generations off, at least. I also forgot to mention including environmental destruction like Battlefield and physics like BoTW or Just Cause. We've still got a ways to go before we get all of that in a game that could run on reasonable hardware.
@RememberThis357,
It's more that were not getting that in a console (or PC) this next generation, whether it's $400 or $500.
@KyRo,
I'd love to see franchises like Prince of Persia come back. Linear levels allow for much tighter design. It's also be nice to see some smaller, better designed and more packed open worlds
Everything is important, I wonder how japanese games like soul calibur hair gonna look like or dynasty warriors.
That's a pity, because they could make a whole lotta money if they allowed other's to lease it.
Why keep it all to yourself, when the engine gets obsolete anyway every few years when DICE upgrades it. At least let smaller companies lease the older versions. Even the older Frostbite engine from bad Company 2 is still an impressive engine today.
They're like the Lannisters of video games!
Always imagined what Assassins Creed would look like with the Frostbite Engine, Ubisoft could really use it because the graphics on Black Flag do NOT look "next gen", sadly.
I'd rather have companies work on their own engines. The result of the Unreal Engine being handed out to other companies led to a gazillion games looking extremely similar.
Now, don't get me wrong, the Unreal Engine 3 looks very good, but after seeing the umpteenth title with that engine things start to get... stale.
We will see more engines which is a good thing.
