Battlefield 3: 'Some Destruction Scripted' - DICE

NowGamer: DICE has detailed the three main types of destruction in Battlefield 3, confirming that set-pieces - like MW3 - will be largely scripted...

only major set pieces in campaign e.g the earthquake.

movements5392d ago

OH I see. It's not only MW3 eh? Haha. Show me console footage dice.

Wizziokid5392d ago

unlike MW3 BF3 has destruction which isn't scripted obviously...

don't try and compare the two.

Caleb_1415392d ago (Edited 5392d ago )

Well if you want something to happen consistently in a SP mission its going to have to be scripted isn't it?

If you want a plane to crash into the ground, so that the player has to go and rescue him as part of a mission - that is scripted.

If things weren't scripted, there would be no consistency - I mean, come on. Use your brain here.

The difference between MW3 and BF3 is that the majority of destruction in the BF3 is unscripted, whereas with MW3 it will be all scripted (unless you count 'shooting glass' - anyone else remember how Robert Bowling said "we have great glass in MW2" f**king lol)

NiKK_4195392d ago

i don't care if some is scripted, if that is what will work best, go ahead dice, i want this game to work the best it can

ndl15315392d ago

play bf bc2 and see what destruction really is . judging by bc2 i have full faith in dice to deliver destruction in bf3

KrystofKage15392d ago

@Caleb_141

Bingo. Major story events will always be scripted, no matter what. However, how you get from Point A to Point B is where the game really shines. Battlefield you can drive through the narrow roads in town and try to shoot your way through. Or you can level a few buildings and take a short cut. The possibilities are endless. No such freedom exists in any shooters today.

aCasualGamer5392d ago

BF3 has almost all destruction non-scripted. It's the large scale set pieces that get scripted destructibility, which is understandable.

COD games only have scripted destructibility, on a second thought... i'm not even sure those games have any destructibility.

Heartnet5392d ago

haha now compared to CoD how many pepole are going to support this haha :)

iamnsuperman5391d ago (Edited 5391d ago )

Finally people can stop using the unscripted vrs scripted argument for comparing COD and BF3. @Movements I agree I want to see console footage too to make a judgement. To everyone already saying BF3 will be better than COD please wait for gameplay footage because at the moment for consoles imo they are neck and neck because we haven't seen console footage for BF3 and for COD e have seen one console (could be engine driven) trailer. This fanboy war is the most stupid war. At the moment I am not going to get either until I get more information

edit: I know BF will use non scripted destruction for small buildings but people saying we can blow down skyscrapers was so stupid. Do not believe everything you see in a trailer

Speakindatruth5391d ago

So stop hating, unless you're that oddball PC gamer.

jjohan355391d ago

I just hope BF3's single player will be entertaining. Bad Company 1 and 2 single player campaigns were average at best, even though their online multiplayer were fun.

BLACKBOIJONES5392d ago

Wait so r u gonna buy a game based on destruction!!..What happened to the fun factor????

We all know BF3 will b better than COD MW3 but COD MW3 is where the fun factor will b...Hate it or love it COD has the best Online Fun factor for an FPS this gen. I enjoyed killzone 3 wen it came out but it did not last long and i went back to playing COD black ops.

awiseman5392d ago

Yes but Destruction is what battlefield is known for since Bad Campany 2, and I dont want anything less.

tmoss7265392d ago

More like "piss me off because the game is so unbalanced" factor.

Heartnet5392d ago

@tmoss

Dont blame the game cuz u suck :)

Also Red Faction has better Destruction so :O yeh :)

gijsbrecht5391d ago

@ Blackboijones
I'm just curious what this fun factor is in Black Ops you're talking about. You run around, shooting stuff. Not much different than other shooters. Only you are doing it in a bland world of mediocre graphics and poorly executed death animations. For some reason kills don't have much of an impact; as opposed to KZ for instance where a kill is much more satisfying. And more fun in my book.

skyward5392d ago

Still a little worried about how this might look on consoles...

Wizziokid5392d ago

I'm sure it will be fine BC2 was fine so it shows DICE can work with consoles, obviously it won't be as amazing as the PC counterpart but I think it will still look amazing.

starcb265392d ago

I hope they fix the screen tearing and pop in BFBC2 had.

xYLeinen5392d ago

Seing how Crysis 2 look on consoles I have no doubt DICE will be able to compare themselves with that Crytek did.

BeardyKaiji5392d ago

I'd be happy with graphics on-par with BFBC2 on consoles, although I'm pretty sure BF3 will look better.

MWong5392d ago

The graphics will probably look better than compared to BC2. I really want to see what MW3 environmental destruction is going to look like for MP. We already know BF3 will have great unscripted destruction for MP.

Rainstorm815392d ago

@MWong

Boxes, glass and scattered papers.....Id be shocked to see any structural damage in the MP

Jack-H5392d ago (Edited 5392d ago )

. CRAP DOUBLE POST!!!

Jack-H5392d ago

I agree. BC2 was alright graphically, certain parts did look really good. But overall it was the awesome gameplay that won me over over the sub-par(imo) graphics. But after seeing the BF3 footage for the pc I have to say my hopes are really high. I will get it and love it no matter what, I'm sure. But I would like some awesome graphics.

a08andan5392d ago

Things like this is why I want next-gen consoles! They will be able to have much more of non-scripted destruction and other features that takes a lot of power :) Destructibility is an "expensive" feature.

Wizziokid5392d ago (Edited 5392d ago )

hopefully with next gen console we can see the next BF go up to 64 players the same as PC, if not higher without having to lower other settings i.e graphics.

either way PC will always be ahead, if I had the money I would build a PC and keep it up to date as much as I could, sadly I'm not that rich.

death2smoochie5392d ago

You don't have to be rich to build a gaming rig that will play all games out now in high detail.

KrystofKage15392d ago

It's scripted in the game for storyline purposes. No matter if its 5 years ago or 5 years from now, all games will need to have scripted events at some points in order to tell a story.

Either way, after watching the trailer, it's pretty convincing how it was scripted. Unlike games such as Homefront with invisible walls, christ what a terrible design decision.

xtreampro_REVENGE!5392d ago

wow this dumb idiot took out a small snippet from that PAWN episode and uses it as a bait. The only parts that will be scripted are cut-scenes THAT'S IT!

Everything else is on the fly real-time destruction.

dragonelite5392d ago (Edited 5392d ago )

Yeah explain the debris warping from space time middle top of the screen.

http://h5.abload.de/img/bf3...

Could be the gif software cut some frames so yeah.

xtreampro_REVENGE!5392d ago

That looks like a glitch, glitches only occur when everything happening in REAL-TIME!

And how does that prove it's all scripted when the player is clearly blasting a random building?

funkyroy5392d ago

I know this is a stupid question, but what in the world does ''scripted'' mean?!

AKissFromDaddy5392d ago

Scripted means something will happen the same way all the time because the dev team wants it to happen.

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

isarai_lee3d ago

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

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

lodossrage37d ago (Edited 37d ago )

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.

thorstein37d ago

No. There were elections and some of the scum were replaced.

TheColbertinator37d ago

Different elections. Different scum. Same results.

rlow137d ago

i know its a long shot, but i hope this gets shot down.

ZwVw37d ago

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.

Saudi Arabia Will Own 93 Percent Of Battlefield 6 Publisher EA

When the dust settles on the $55 billion leveraged buyout of Electronic Arts, Saudi Arabia will be its only true owner, despite a “consortium” of investors being involved in the deal. Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund will control 93 percent of the company, according to filings with Brazil’s antitrust regulator.

blacktiger88d ago

Technically speaking, Saudi Arabia and TENCENT can buy the entire USA. ANf Democrat and Republican will not do crap!

Inverno88d ago

Letting foreign entities own half of American businesses is liberal and very progressive. So is bringing in all that talent from outside the States to replace the talentless and lazy American workers. And here I thought the Trump administration wanted to border is up but nope. We're supposed to worry bout them "radical Muslims" minding their own here and ignore China/Saudi/Israel taking over.

blacktiger88d ago

Another thing I hate hearing is "liberal and very progressive"
It's 2025 and that stuff is outdated. Everything and everyway is literally the same thing wheter it's progressive, conservativ. Because they all wants the same thing have, king unlimited oney buy everything including your house.

Now they making mainstream media news that it's AI Bubble justify to highjack the price of RAM.
Another excuse for inflation!

Tacoboto88d ago

"here I thought the Trump administration wanted to border is up but nope"

Lol, you actually bought what he was selling? Let's see this week alone...

Yesterday he pardoned an international drug lord, while allowing the murder of random fishermen on boats. Remember drain the swamp? He pardoned a Democratic Congressman jailed for bribery just today, nevermind that fraudulent drag queen republican that was kicked out of Congress and imprisoned for their fraud. It's so petty they're picking fights on social media with pop stars while using their music, and even using Franklin the damn Turtle to cartoonify their murders.

thorstein88d ago

You believed him!?!!

I've got some Trump $5000 bills for you, only half off.

its quite ridiculous that they were able to do that. or even allowed to.

but saudis even have their grabby hands in nintendo stocks.

Looking on the bright side, the games may be patched to remove any ideologies that are incompatible for the majority of the world.

S2Killinit88d ago

What do you mean? You want censorship in games?
