Frostbite 2.0 Is One Hell of an Engine

"There are a few things about the handling of Battlefield 3 that are troubling – Origin exclusivity and the Online Pass come to mind – but DICE can’t be faulted for their new engine, which looks to be as cutting edge as edges get. The Swedish developer’s general manager Karl Magnus spoke at the Eurogamer Expo this week about what Frostbite 2.0 will deliver."

Just a few more days! Can't wait for the Beta on Tuesday.

Jdub895O5348d ago

NarooN5348d ago

MoH LE owners and BF3 pre-orderers get it on the 27th, which is Tuesday. Everyone else gets it Thursday.

"Frostbite 2.0 Is One Hell of an Engine"

If you get rid of origin then you can say this fn dice.

Pandamobile5348d ago

Stop bitching, Origin has nothing to do with Frostbite 2.

kcuthbertson5348d ago

While it doesn't really have anything to do with the engine...

I am pissed about Origin...absolutely stupid..

radphil5348d ago (Edited 5348d ago )

It's really annoying when even though it's complete common and pure logical sense, there's still people that disagree on this site.

You could say the color red is red, and people would still press that disagree button. :p

peowpeow5348d ago

It'd work better as a like/dislike system, since that's what people base their clicks on

evrfighter5347d ago (Edited 5347d ago )

EA has pretty much one chance to impress a whole lot of people with Origin.

Battlefield is pretty much the only game I'd use it for and they probably know that already.

I liked the quickness of load times and ease of use in battlelog. Let's see if I'm bombarded with startup ads that slow join times considerably. That'll be a good way to piss off the competitive crowd that just wanna get a quick game in before work or bed.

Forcing Origin down our mouths is pretty irritating.
Although I felt the same way when games started shipping with "Steam Support", but what can you do. At least I like Steam...

CloseSecond5348d ago

I look forward to the PS3 beta to see just how much of an improvement has been made. I really, really hope they have managed to squeeze out more AA this time around.

Agent_hitman5348d ago

Frosbite 2.0 is on the top
Cryengine 3 is on the second place
Unreal engine 3 is on the 3rd spot.

multipayer5348d ago

Idtech 5 is probably better than Cryengine 3 aswell, wasn't it a downgrade from Cryengine 2?

Won't be long until UE4 cleans some house too, hopefully Epic's next game.

smilydude135348d ago

Yeah. I'm pretty sure Cry-Engine 3 is just a Cry-Engine 2 optimized for consoles.

Granted, Cry-Engine 2 while visually stunning was horribly optimized to the point where it's just now becoming playable on max settings at 60 fps and mods.

cryengine 3>>>>cryengine 2
the engine was just gimped in crysis 2 because crytek made crysis 2 first on console and ported to pc instead of vice versa. the console version of cryengine 3 is a generation behind the pc version(cryengine 3 is actually next generation console ready). read the cryengine 3 documentation you'd realize that its much more powerful than cryengine 2 it just doesn't have a technical showcase yet

cryengine 3 is actually superior to frostbite 2 we just won't see its true potential until crytek makes a game with pc as the lead platform

RAGE engine is called ID tech 5 and its not superior to the unreal engine 3 that ran Samaritan tech demo.ID tech 5 has weaknesses even john Carmack himself said it do some research would you ?

the latest build of unreal engine 3 that ran the Samaritan tech demo is more powerful than ID Tech 5 the problem is epic hasn't set out to push pc if they did unreal can deliver Samaritan tech demo graphics on high end pc hardware.

@slugboss

cryengine 3 is superior to 2 read the documentation before making comments would you ? and cryengine 3 would beat ID tech 5 into the ground in all departments except textures which is what ID tech 5 excels at the most. you obviously don't know much about game development well most gamers don't and thats a problem

darksied5347d ago

@402
Dude, relax. These are comments, it's not a research paper. No one's going to go do research before they comment, they just say what they think or feel. You need to lighten up.

UE3 engine sux, they still couldn't fix the popin texture load :DD that's saying a lot about an engine...

darksied5347d ago

I don't see that as a "fix" being needed, I see that as a workaround to get these high resolution textures loaded on a console when there's not enough ram. I think it's absolutely terrible, but it also seems like the only way on the Unreal engine to get them loaded on consoles.

omi25p5347d ago

Cleary you havent played Gears 3 because there arent any pop in textures. Its runs amazingly smooth

Resistance5347d ago

So it takes an extra second or 2 to load the textures. I don't care about it. You can't tell me that Batman Arkham Asylum sucks because it runs on the UE3. Also UE3 supports PhysX so yeah lol...

Jappy-k75348d ago

yeah great lighting, animations, sound bla bla bla...but the textures still suck

When logic meets EA it generates anti-matter ..... so try not to apply it in any meaningful way. Entropy is what matters in there !!

badz14967d ago

cue the apologist saying that these are mostly just contractors hired for this specific project bla bla bla

A Day After Launch, Battlefield 6 Beta Already Has Cheaters, but DICE Quickly Cracks Down With a Ban

DICE is quickly banning cheaters in the Battlefield 6 beta, with a developer confirming that they are aware of the hacks.

raWfodog280d ago

They need to add an option for crossplay with other console players only. Otherwise I’ll definitely deactivating crossplay altogether. These cheaters on PC are already ruining this game and it’s still a few months from general release.

P_Bomb280d ago (Edited 280d ago )

What’s the appeal in cheating @ multiplayer? Deep down, you must know you suck lol. Yay?

jjb1981279d ago

I never understood that. I remember a guy that commented on a YT video I saw had said that he uses Cronus because he works a lot and doesn't have time to sweat. Lol, I was like "wtf?".

PRIMORDUS275d ago

Developers should find a way that if they detect your cheating in a game, have it so none of your shots register against other players, you can't kill anyone. Bascially, you would be useless in that game LOL.

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

XiNatsuDragnel493d ago

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

anast493d ago

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

Johnh5223493d ago (Edited 493d ago )

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