DICE Discusses 'Potential' Battlefield 4

Battlefield 4. It's bound to happen at some point, right? But DICE's Patrick Liu has become the first man at the studio to officially make mention of it, saying that the team will "see what happens in the future with any potential Battlefield 4".

Its not a discussion at all. A Battlefield 4 is inevitable but just isn't on the table for DICE now.

I'm sure they're all focusing on BF3 and getting that right for now.

Paradicia5331d ago

They should wait until next gen for BF4.

StayStatic5331d ago (Edited 5331d ago )

It already is , Frostbite 2.0 ftw

Crazyglues5331d ago (Edited 5331d ago )

Yes BF3 is already a next gen title on your PS3, no question about that, I am really impress with what DICE has done here with BF3...

They really pushed the graphics and the maps and just made a really huge jump from BFBC2...

So of course BF4 is already a serious Question.. -(that should also be looked at as just how good of an impression DICE has made with BF3)

-But BF4 has to be on the next-gen console, it's one of those games that could really shine on next-gen's hardware.. In-fact I think Dice should push Sony on exactly what they will need from PS4..

As Crytek has already stated, they want a super power house.. and I think DICE would need the same in-order to make BF4 vision come to Life..

What is the Vision you may ask, well if you think Dice is not already thinking of what could be done in the next version then you don't understand programming.. -you always think ahead.

and I'm sure BF4 would be more of what you see in BF3 but done bigger and with realization that you just can't get on this gen hardware..

Look at this - http://www.youtube.com/watc...

Now think even better detail of tree leaves and weather effects with amazing looking trees and grass up to your knees..

What we will be looking at if Sony pushes pass what they were currently looking at for PS4 - which was just more cells (16) with more memory and instead do what Crytek is calling for, a Console that surpasses high-end PC's by using 32 cells processors and triple the memory..

We would get a serious jump in gaming.. that would just amaze gamers..

The only thing next gen consoles will bring is the ability to have what pc bf3 has now. Next gen consoles is todays gaming pc

@nuclearduke below
Currently pc version of bf3 is ahead of both console versions of arkham city , the ps3 version of bf3, and both console versions of mw3 on amazon sitting at #2. The pc audience doesn't do mediocre but when there's a game we like we buy it.

It was no accident that saw starcraft 2 to sell 2 million copies in two days you know.

Crazyglues5331d ago

@ evrfighter

I don't think you understood what I was saying yes next gen consoles will just be BF3 on PC -unless they push pass that and do what Crytek wants...

which is make it more powerful then a high-end PC, do things that a high-end pc struggles to do well like high-end physics..

only time will tell if they go with that idea or if they just do a mild upgrade..-(either way BF4 needs to be on the next consoles for it to really surpass BF3)

NuclearDuke5331d ago

So what will people say when they focus on consoles, due to the crowd being much larger than PC and that Frostbite won't be v3 but stay v2.

They are going that route, inevitably.

Fishy Fingers5331d ago

A new game every other year, with expansions inbetween. So next year, BF3 expansion, following year, BF2143, BF2143 expansion, BF4(?).

That's my guess anyway, they dont want yearly "titles" but also wont want to gift anymore "free" years to COD.

NuclearDuke5331d ago

What "free" years?

2006 Battlefield 2142
2007 Battlefield 2142: Northern Strike
2008 Battlefield: Bad Company
2009 Battlefield Heroes
2009 Battlefield 1943
2010 Battlefield: Bad Company 2
2010 Battlefield: Bad Company 2: Vietnam
2010 Battlefield Online
2011 Battlefield Play4Free
2011 Battlefield 3

SJPFTW5331d ago

only difference is most of those are not $60, some are even free lol. And expansions dont count

Fishy Fingers5331d ago

I'm talking yearly franchise additions on par with COD/BF3. On budget, marketing, hype, repeat release dates etc

Let's be honest, the majority of consumers wouldn't know what half of your copy/paste list is, hardly competition or threatening for the biggest name in gaming ,COD.

Uomoz875331d ago

They explicitly said they don't want to have a major release every year, not talking about expansions and free games -.-

Hufandpuf5331d ago

Agree if you've played all of those listed. I have

Suicide_King5331d ago

Battlefield Online & Play4Free are not DICE, it's EAsy. That's why they suck.

BF 2143 in 2013. Make it happen, DICE.

Saryk5331d ago

Is it just me or has originality gone right out the window?

When there is a turn over of hardware, coming out with a new series is ok, no complaints from me. But when the hardware, especially graphics do not change, then making upgrades is ok. But making total new games is not? Make something original and in a different genre than just FPS.

Gamer-Z5331d ago

Well if you think about it its going to be to years before we see the xbox 720 or PS4 and according to dice they want to do a two year development cycle for battlefield so BF4 will most likely be a next gen title.

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

badz14975d 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.

raWfodog288d 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_Bomb288d ago (Edited 288d ago )

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

jjb1981288d 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?".

PRIMORDUS283d 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

XiNatsuDragnel502d ago

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

anast501d ago

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

Johnh5223501d ago (Edited 501d ago )

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