A question that's been in the head of many console gamers lately - Will we get shafted with the visuals on DICE's huge upcoming shooter Battlefield 3? We've been hearing many iffy statements coming from news reports lately about how consoles can't handle the level of progression DICE would like to see. The developer has recently begun openly stating that the game will be altered for the console version, but the question on everyone's mind is how much?
EA is laying off an unknown number of individuals from across its Battlefield teams, including workers at Criterion, Dice, Ripple Effect, and Motive Studios, IGN understands.

When logic meets EA it generates anti-matter ..... so try not to apply it in any meaningful way. Entropy is what matters in there !!
cue the apologist saying that these are mostly just contractors hired for this specific project bla bla bla
The free-to-play reboot topped 15 million players in under three weeks, but EA now claims it needs to reshape the development team.
The community warned them this would happen but nope they knew better they continued with the live service push the made the art style cartoonish and this is the result
It's always so bizarre when studios announce something super early in development under the suggestion of forming the game to player feedback, and then they push against all feedback heading straight for the cliff while everyone is warning them along the way
The Congressional Labor Caucus sent a letter to the FTC warning the debt-financed, largely PIF-owned deal could be bad news for workers
lol ya think? they're sending all that work to the cheaper labor market as soon as possible. and FYI, that labor market has exploded in the last 5-10 years. They have enough people to replace every single job. But honestly, EA is over filled with useless upper management as it is. You could probably trim 25% of their staff with no real loss in production. They aren't gamers, they're business execs. Just look at how many AI related jobs they're already starting to post. Its also hilarious that PIF owns Battle field 6
Wait,
The same congress that attacked Lina Khan when she fought the Microsoft Activision purchase.
The same congress that allowed Disney to buy 90% of Fox
The same congress that allowed Liv Golf to buy the PGA
The same congress that sits back while Paramount tries a hostile takeover despite losing the bid for Warner Bros.
NOW, the suddenly cares about doing what's "right" for works? Yeah, right.
EA now owned by The Saudis and Ubisoft to inevitably be owned by China. In hindsight, once EA and Ubisoft started having their financial woes, they should have pulled a Koei Tecmo/Bandai Namco by merging their operations into one.
They will probably just be like bc2 maybe a bit better which is fine by me. I will buy ps3 and PC versions.
short answer, no
Not bad. Just not as good as PC. I wish the media would stop repeating the same type of junk, we all know that the PC will make better looking games... so just tell us about the game because that is more important to gamers!
i don't think this is a very valid comparison-- DICE said that each light source in BF3's lighting system contains more data than an entire level in bad company 2. It may still be "frostbite", but it's a new engine all together. It really comes down to how efficiently they can stream detail in and out of the consoles' limited memory.
This is one of those very few games I'm willing to spend a shit load on PC to play this game on high settings.
