Digital Foundry: Face-Off: Battlefield 3

For a game that has been marketed so relentlessly and aggressively over the last three months, it's remarkable just how coy DICE and Electronic Arts have been over the console versions of Battlefield 3. Marketing was clearly PC-led, access to console versions during preview events was limited to snippets of the campaign and co-op levels, and right up until last few weeks leading up to the launch, the Xbox 360 version in particular was conspicuous by its absence.

I have the PS3 version and it looks and runs great.

It mostly does look quite good, but what doesn't are things like Claymores, C4, Ammo-packs, med-packs, the smaller things just don't like right, they look like very basic objects and textures.

Also, I disagree with the PS3 running "Great", there's the issue of input lag, when you move the joystick on your control it takes about 0.8 secs for it to respond on your TV, that's going to be fixed though :D

BubloZX5326d ago

Don't have those issues at all.

NewMonday5326d ago

Virtually identical, props to DIC, they achieved this by using both consoles strengths; an example is using MLAA for the PS3 and FXAA for the 360.

Leave it to DF to say that blur effect looks similar to MLAA, when the 360 version happens to not look as good. You'd have to be half-blind to not see which effect is better against aliasing.

Better Anti-aliasing, better lighting, similar F.R. and tearing.....If the roles were reversed, they would have ate the ps3 alive.

And most ridiculously, they toss in a rumor like an old house wife talking about a neighbor with a friend:
"It's noteworthy that some have seen some frame-rate and corresponding input lag concerns with the PS3 game, but in our playtest there was nothing particularly amiss - the experience was pretty much exactly the same as the 360 version"
.....Hmmm, sounds like.....
'I don't mean to pry, but Mrs. Smith seems to be home alone a lot with the poolboy. Oh, but I'm sure it's nothing!'

Oh yes, you're so innocent, Mrs. Foundry. You're clearly not trying to spread rumors or anything of the sort! Mentioning that little science-less mention of a possible issue and then saying that it's "probably" nothing and that your neighbor is "pretty much" the same as someone not committing infidelity. So innocent.

DICE did an amazing job getting this game to run as it does on consoles. Great job with all the technology under the hood for the Frostbite 2.0 engine. Great job.

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

XiNatsuDragnel507d ago

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

anast507d ago

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

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

Knightofelemia1292d ago

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

MadLad1292d ago

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