If the visuals of Crysis, Rage, Battlefield, Uncharted, Resistance(yes its that good) are the pinnacle of this generation of consoles, then I say I'm happy with that. Just improve gameplay and story. I don't need better visuals than what's being put on my plate. I can go through 2012 with these visuals and maybe even 2013 but I really think they'll announce the next gen early 2013 and release it Christmas 2013.

I spend more gaming hours on my Amiga than any current systems. Games have to seduce me, not bore.

Keep pushing next gen graphics while farmville and angry birds takes over. Smart.

MORE MEMORY TO THE PEOPLE

I thought BF3 looked worse than a lot of other games on consoles.

Rage looks incredible but not BF3 on consoles.

I think UC3, GeOW 3, Crysis 1&2, Resistance 3, RAGE & BF3 all show that this gen has pretty much come to a close. Next year will just be about squeezing out as much juice as you can.

I hope this dev is referring to multi platform titles, cause I can name a few ps3 first party titles BF3 & Rage can't touch.

Rage is the best looking game in a console today

On console yes

On PC, definetely not

Who cares about gfx when the real MEAT of BF3 is in the PC-only ability to play on 64-player MP maps.

THAT (64p MP) is what is lacking on the console version of BF3 (not the gfx, although gfx is nice eye-candy)

And yes, for 64p BF whe need new consoles. Guess the wait is till BF4 on Xbox 720 in 2013-14 (or something like that)

Why are they so reluctant to create a new Bad Company??

Definitely agree with the title. If they make Bad Company 3 then that would definitely be a step in the right direction!

It’s done. The current development team has no idea why people liked BF.

BF3? They need to go back to BF2 for the mainline. Heck, I'd settle for true-to-source remakes of BF2 and BC2 (w/ Vietnam). Everything they've done in the 'modern' era is just bad.

Doubt they will smh which is messed up

EAis pretending to be one of those deaf mutes

I've not played 2042 myself but after v I don't feel like it. I played a few hours of v with friends but it feels ultra sterile I can't figure it out but the game looks and feels clinical. The storys in the campaign were also bland and uninteresting and felt like a dull trudge through checkpoints as you waited for an ending.

I've played the franchise dating back to it's original PC launch and PS2 spin off games I did enjoy 1 overall and it's take on placing you in different scenarios and battles was interesting but not all that good imo as you couldn't really connect with any characters longer than 2 hours.

hardline for all the hate it recived was a fun story and a new take but a bad mp game

I feel like v overall was the turning point and instead of showing the gritty reality of war they turned everything sterile and presented it in a clean cut boring frame in order to pump it full of weird micro transactions overall they spent far to much time on trying to implant ray tracing and other graphical flourishes and forgot to make the game enjoyable

I mean thats all we've wanted since BF4 but they keep doing everything we don't want.
