1. MOST owners of consoles does not have internet!?
2. There is no need to really download a complete game at once.
3. Contents get bigger - not the so much the engine.
2+3 => download as you go. Complete download in background.
Here in Sweden digital music passed physical 2011.
Recent numbers are (first half of 2012)
digital 63.5%
physical 36.5%
The total music market grows with 30.1%
(physical sales has begun to drop -2.2%, digital has picked up momentum)
Still 40% lower total sales than first half of 2000...

I would expect MoH WF to be ported instead.
Almost the same work
- porting the engine (same, MoH WF does probably have some news)
- copying data (BF3 with all DLC v. MoH WF and future DLC)
- play-test and other QA (same)
- manufacture (same)
Hope they have learnt their lesson.
It should release at the beginning of a consoles life...
Rage was first shown 2007 (PS3 was released late 2006)
but Rage did not release until 2011...
Take another look at this trailer and you will see that the cameras point of view moves around in a (two actually) specific scene.
Solders running, you see the rocket artillery.
Next inside artillery, you see vehicles approaching.
In tank, you see the rocket artillery.

Either they record on all PCs simultaneously or this is the Battle recorder in action...
Can you imagine Sony and Microsoft at E3 next year releasing their new consoles...
- Yea, our current hardware can not do what gamer PCs in 2011 did. (Release of BF3)
Please, buy our console!
Ever heard about Moores 'law'?

I don't think NG consoles and PC is a contradiction!
- NG consoles WILL be a memory limited PCs
- NG consoles will have more cores than most current PCs
- NG consoles graphics will have lots of calculation power
How much - depends on what graphics chip manufacturers
are willing to sell for a reasonable price...
(do you want to earn good on a few or earn a little on A LOT)
Ninja Gaiden II really!
If delayed sound effects are the only thing you do not find realistic in Battlefield 3... then DICE has done a REALLY good job.
But they missed BF3s jumping in/out of vehicles... in air... with reusable parachute...
But if they make a game that
- looks as realistic as BF3
- sounds as realistic as BF3 - no wait didn't they just promised better?
- behaves as realistic as BF3
- plays as fun as B...
"With 4Gb, there would be no memory problems probably ever"
Pretty sure you are correct, since it is so much more than 640kB :-)
But what is actually more important than the RAM is fast secondary storage - this time it might be SSD.
Pretty sure the makers of MW3 campaign panicked in Mars when the first BF3 GDC videos hit.

No, that would be too provocative. Eiffel tower - perfect!

In SP you can add whatever events you want as long as you keep within rendering budget - and in the story you...
Why?
Risk elimination!
Develop a new innovative FPS. See people pass your game and buy MW4.
If you do not get everything perfect you won't sell.
How can you do something perfect when it is something new? Luck?
How can you know if you will do better or worse?
So as long as you do anything generic you know you will get enough sells, do something new and who knows...
And what is the input lag on a real gun?
A real gun have mechanical parts that moves...

I don't think I have seen any load times (not even on console).
OK, high resolution textures might be a noticable bit late sometimes... (especially kill camera)

You skipped my lightning related part... why?
Do you agree it is true innovation?
Varied environments
- Please mention one kind of environment that is not in there somewhere? (woodlands, desert, beach, sea, city outdoors, city indoors, rural, mountains, fields, ...)
- Day, night, rain, dust (snow? I have not seen it yet)
=> You can not play all "maps" in the same way
And
- Detail (Debr...
There is more innovation than you imagine
Lots of lightning related
Tactical Flashlight, Lasers, Muzzle flash, Scope glint, ...
New gadgets and how to level up to get them.
Varied environments and special effects affects gameplay.
Then render it all on with good textures and performance.
One difference EA will keep it within EA, first game with a new engine will take a hit.
But reading about Frostbite 2 a lot of work has gone into making tools to build content - dynamic lightning helps turnaround time.
I expect lots of great DLC, Vietnam to BFBC2 was great. Return to Karkand sounds great (more destruction, new vehicles, new weapons, ...)
And DLC has one extra feature, fully downloaded and installed on hard drive. Size and spe...
In other news only 18.6% have completed CoD Black Ops about the same numbers for BF3

SP, CoOp and MP are very different
It would be very interesting to see a full replay of single full BF3 Rush game.
As one example take the James Bond BF3 moment

So if BF3 did not have a SP reviewers would not have reduced the points because there were no SP?
Are you sure they say that the cheese was missing?
BF3 only looks similar to BFBC2 because BFBC2 was set in an environment it could handle. But if you look at the detail I am pretty sure BF3 wins even the graphics by a wide margin.
First play BF3 trying to take a good look on everything
(don't play - just look. At distance, close up. outdoors, indoors)
Then play BFBC2 doing the same.
I think you will notice more differences when going back to BFBC2.
Of cause they will!
PS4 will probably do 4k like PS3 does 1080p
(in _film_ playback and very few games)
