Battlefield 3 PS3 graphics under the spotlight

PSU: Responding to the recent outcry from some sections of the gaming community that Battlefield 3’s graphics on PlayStation 3 look inferior to the PC version, EA DICE has sought to put the record straight

EA DICE has made no secret of the fact that the PC is the leading platform for Battlefield 3 and rival developer Sledgehammer Games hasn’t wasted any opportunity to point out that its shooter, Modern Warfare 3 runs at a silky smooth 60fps while Battlefield 3 will run at 30fps

xtremegamerage5445d ago

The PC does not run@60fps.

It fking runs at whatever your system is able to give.

Then you can either raise settings, or lower them depending on what you want, better graphics, better framerate.

360/PS3 will run @ 30-45fps, but be capped@ 30fps. So it is perfectly smooth.

When you keep telling everyone how great you are and then deliver something no better than you last game...then you deserve all the flack you are taking.

It's going to get a lot worse for these fraudsters hiding behind high end PC footage knowing full well COD owns them on consoles...the highest selling platform for these games.

The Fanboys can make all the excuses in the world for these guys but their day of reckoning is coming. Don't worry...I'll be there to tell you I told you so.

GRAPHICS

Physics > Graphics

To a certain extent, of course.

helghast1025445d ago (Edited 5445d ago )

Gameplay > Music > Physics > Graphics > Story
for the most part, for stuff like RPGs Story is higher up and Graphics and Physics are dead last

edit @ below
Like I said, it all depends on the genre, is anyone going to give a flying turd about BF3's story?

edit2 @Brian
Music, for me, is one of, if not THE, best ways to immerse the player.
Try muting a games music, or replacing it with Bieber, It's incredibly hard to feel a part of the world

Mr Tretton5445d ago

I think story is more important than graphics and physics, if the game has a story.

BrianG5445d ago (Edited 5445d ago )

Helghast

I agree with your point that gameplay is the most important factor, but story at the end?

Seems almost contradictory. Especially with music being more important than story and physics? Which arguably contribute to the gameplay experience.

@Edit: I agree music can create a greater sense of immersion. But I just fail to see how that differs from graphics creating a greater sense of immersion. Or story tugging at your feelings to create immersion. Sure you might not care about a FPS's story, but I'm sure there are people who do. If those are your preferences I respect them, they differ from mines but hey, we all play games for varying reasons.

Takoulya5445d ago

@helghast102

I would put Music last in order of importance, IMO. I'm not undermining the importance of music at all, considering my favourite piece is The Best is Yet to Come from MGS1, but I think it's not that relevant in many games now.

Darrius Cole5445d ago

@Helgast

I have to disagree with that order. I think its...

Story = Gameplay > Music > Physics> Graphics...

...assuming that by physics you don't simply mean the way that the brick, cans and other objects withing the universe move but rather that the character can interact objects in the environment to affect the gameplay. For example, in Heavenly Sword you could pick-up any loose object and use it as a weapon.

A great story is strong enough to carry weak gameplay (Final Fantasy XIII), and great gameplay is strong enough to carry a weak story (Ninja Gaiden)

the great ludology vs narratology debate

Gran Touring5445d ago

@Darrius FFXIII didn't really have a good story...

Hell yeh care about graphics. anyone who sais they dont talking BS, like anything you buy you get apealed by the design or look of what you buy b4 you think ahead to other things like what it has to offer userally after.

and all good devs will tell you to sell a game it has to look good play great.

LeftPawedFox5445d ago

i hope that it looks really good on ps3!

NegativeCreep4275445d ago

But if it doesn't. Then oh well.

At least there will be Uncharted 3 that will fill the void in the "Graphical Quality Meets All" department.

LeftPawedFox5445d ago

Ya true! ohh and btw i love Nirvana! :)

Urrakia345445d ago

Just the fact that they're even caring enough to bring it to consoles is good enough for me.

Battlefield 3 Cut Missions From Campaign Detailed by Former DICE Dev

Battlefield 3's former Lead Designer has revealed that there were two cut missions from the main campaign

XiNatsuDragnel506d ago

I wish someone can get those EA game leaks to see all the cut content ngl

anast506d ago

Get rid of campaigns, move the game to mobile, and try to compete with warzone. They would save time and money.

Johnh5223506d ago (Edited 506d ago )

Bf4 was fun hope the new bf is just as good.

hmmm I think there will be no old BF glory days for EA since they are loyal to their greediness and laziness :D

Knightofelemia1291d ago

You're asking for a miracle with EA that will never happen unless they can exploit the money making schemes behind it.

MadLad1291d ago

We'll see what happens now that Zampella is overlooking the series.
