BF4 Is Finally HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!! (PICS/VID)

mozattack

Nuri, Levelcap does a good run down of the new weapons.

See this from Jackgrags... 64 players, 60FPS, 720 resolution on PS4

Will this make much difference?

What is the reference to "upscaled" about?

mozattack

"Battlefield 3 on both the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 will run at a native resolution of 1280 x 704. While not a huge step down from the desired 1280 x 720 HD resolution, it’s still a little odd to know that one of the most graphically hyped games of all time isn’t actually “HD”. Good thing the subtle loss in resolution will help with memory usage, keeping gameplay solid. So what are everyone’s thoughts on this? Let us know!"

So next gen only gives up 16 more in resolution??? hmmm

To clarify: BF4 running at a higher resolution than 720p in the PS4 dev environment. Final resolution when the game is optimised at launch!

Has any footage of the game running on PS3 been released ?

Jaysus anything lower than 1080 is fugly as hell to me.
I think its laughable to even consider 720 and next gen in the same breath.

haha drop the 'h' :P Chivalry is awesome!

Radio chatter sounds are far too similar, nice to see weapons sound a bit more meaty,bolt snipers in particular are pathetic in BF3,even a big step down from BC2.

I must admit to being almost embarrassed to being addicted to BF3 and BF4 before the latter has even come out.
I listened to almost all of Gamescon while working over the weekend and the most interesting information I’ve heard is as follows:-

- 7 types of grenade (love this, probably overkill but so what, varierty)

- The defib change is probably the best change in the game so far (essentially three revives per defib pack and to get a full revive you need to charge the defib for 4 seconds, otherwise the standard revive is up to 20%) – they should have done this on BF3 was earlier. Really got my goat playing on good maps like Epicentre, killing two guys, watching them being revived and then their squad taking you out. Very so childish/arcadey – not for me and I really think this alone will make BF4 so much better!

- Alex Mendes (I think that’s his name) played Domination on PS4 and essentially said it was incredible, said graphics were on par with PC and said the 60 FPS made a massive different from BF3 (he is a console player). This is a relief, probably too much said on the whole 720 (and not 1080) issue.

- Game will ship with 10 maps

- Tiered reloading animation is deployed meaning if you switch to your side arm while reloading you can revert back to where you were provided you are reloading when totally out of ammo

- Watched a lot of Obliteration and it seems great. Personally I hated CtF on End Game, couldn’t play it seriously but this game mode seems to be a perfect match of Rush/CtF/Conquest… a good addition perhaps.

- Fairly sure Scout Choppers are limited to using 6 flares/ECMs but their guns are more powerful… not sure if this applies to Attach Choppers too

- The M2 Slam, i.e. claymore for vehicles, this destroys a vehicle if two are laid down (wonder then what the point is, surely the same as AT mines?)

- Not information per se but personal opinion; sounds in the game seem far better than BF3 – listen to the Magnum as an example.

- There will be more guns on final release, DICE guy said a few more weren’t ready so haven’t been included as of yet


(BTW no-one explained what "upscaling" means!)

Lets say you have a incoming signal at 720p running into a TV that can display 1080p. Upscaling is when the video processing chip in the TV converts the incoming signal to match the native display resolution.
It uses smart algorithms and filters and other mathematical jiggery pokery to add lines and pixels to match the output to the TVs resolution.
However, it doesn't mean you get HD quality from SD signals, because the converter can't add detail that wasn't there in the first place, but it will make the image fit properly on the screen with having to change the output settings to 720p.

...I think

The only difference is you hide the M2 slam near a road, the vehicle doesn't have to actually drive over is to set it off.

So Gunmaster, scavenger, air superiority and tank superiority arent going to be released as mode in BF4 at least not in the main game maybe as a dlc

http://www.computerandvideogames.com/426476/battlefield-4-to-launch-with-7-modes-10-maps/

Not that a lot of people will miss them but they were a nice change from the conquest TDM and Rush for a few rounds

I really disliked Air Superiority and Tank Super... never liked them, nonsense.

Scavenger was actually very good if you liked a quick 10-15 game... fun.

Gun Master the same so while I won't miss them, I'd prefer them over Team Deathmatch for example.

I wish Dice wouldn't fragment the DLCs so much this time around though, if they are adding new game modes the game modes should be for all maps - either than or dont bother.
