[izt_is]

As someone who loved BF3 campaign and couldnt care less about MP, I so want this!!!

Me too. Glad I'm not the only one.

I feel like an outcast here in GAF for liking the SP

 

[Smokey]

Graphically this looks exactly as same as BF3 (PC version). Nothing about it particularly screams next gen.

Wrong

 

[shungokusatsu]

Wow, someone needs to gif the helicopter shootout destruction in the building and the huey crash.

 

[Chinpoko_Master]

Looks gorgeous. Wonder what the console versions are going to look like.

 

[specialguy]

Looks nice, but like shadowfall, maybe not as mind blowing as I'd hoped.

 

[ClovingWestbrook]

Don't even know why they bother to put in a single person campaign.

I'm pretty sure the only reason people play it is for the multiplayer.


Looks pretty though.

Funny because the only reason I play COD and BF is for single player lol.

 

[dLMN8R]

Need gifs of 12:30 sequence STAT.

Jesus

 

[BoosterDuck]

PRESS E TO PRESS F

 

[JetBlackPanda]

Looks downright unbelievable visually. The game does just about everything right graphically and then some. More interested in MP, though, but that did look fantastic.

Nope we've been playing this shit for 2 years now.

Same as BF3 Amirite?

 

[MoonsaultSlayer]

Aside from looks, I don't get the appeal or even the need for it. What will it do that we haven't done?

Now, if you got to choose whether you shot the glass or not without the game beating you over the head with a blue vs red, black vs white morality system, that'd be fantastic. Along with accidentally shooting your own guys if you're too quick on the trigger as they pop in during that one scene. Not likely because who has the time to program something like that when all shooter fans want is boom explosions and pop pop, they're down gunplay?

Also, will I ever get a fps where the player character isn't always stiffly at the ready? His buddies are all relaxed and conversing and you're always in "what can I shoot next" mode. Stuff like that gets sillier as the graphics get prettier and the situations more realistic.

 

[AkIRA_22]

is the guy from the wire?

Yeah I think it is, good spot.

 

[Ultryx]

Next gen graphics.

Same lame ass current gen gameplay.

Scripted shitty set pieces, press x to win, walking and more walking, terrible ai, linear as hell for a BF game.

These midern shooter are out of ideas and are basically tryingto reclaim the COD4 magic.

Go play another game then.

 

[Orayn]

'Splosions.

Will do 12:30 next, as requested.

 

[Tagg9]

During the conference call with shareholders EA mentioned it would be 1080p 60 fps for next gen consoles, IIRC

Yes, but they made no specific mention of Battlefield. They just said the console was capable of pulling 1080@60fps.

 

[Demon Ice]

This part had to be CG / a cutscene, right? Looks way better than the rest of the gameplay.

Thought it looked great, some seriously good lighting and particle effects, and the destruction was definitely improved.

Will treat this the same way I treated BF3, played through the campaign once to enjoy the ride, take in the sights, and then devote the rest of my time to the MP.

 

[nib95]

To me that looks far more impressive than Crysis 3. But that's me. I know they look similar, but Crysis's art style never quite gelled with me. BF4 seems similar(ish), but better replicates real life.

 

[D23]

doesnt wow me like Killzone 4 did but it still looked amazing

 

[TheLaughingStock]

I didn't know I could be really impressed and be underwhelmed at the same time, but this trailer made me feel exactly that.

Explosions, scale, fire, and the character model at the end looked good. The scripting was too schizophrenic I suppose for my tastes.

 

[Phoenician_Viking]

What happens when he clicks a button?

 

[ClovingWestbrook]

Me too. Glad I'm not the only one.

You and I bro. I enjoy being entertained and COD and BF SP entertain the hell out of me.

 

[Mikey Jr.]

1. The graphics are beautiful. It is definitely a full notch up over BF3, thats for sure. I'm assuming the PC was absolutely beastly.

2. The Chinese locale is a nice change. Not many FPS games have their setting in China, so thats nice.

3. The gameplay is still the same ol' shit. It's still all cinematic. You have this new engine, all this hardware, and its still "Run forward, shit happens around you". I was hoping it would differentiate from Call of Duty. But I can see this game being called Call of Duty and I would have believe you. It is what it is. I am excited for Killzone, but that has the same gameplay. Only reason I care about Killzone SP is because I enjoy the world, the setting, and the story that Guerilla have built. Even then, I care more about MP.


Overall, it was decent. A definite showcase of their graphics, and if you love that style of game, this was definitely wetting your pants. I wonder when we are getting the MP reveal?

 

[big_z]

Looks gorgeous. Wonder what the console versions are going to look like.

probably a notch or two down on the graphics setting and only 30fps. should still look fairly close to this.

i was impressed by the video reveal. i hate that the grey filter is still being used but at least the setting is much more interesting than anything in BF3. the sound design is amazing.

 

[KillerTravis]

so what was y'all's favorite parts

mine were:

when there was war but also un-war things like music and children's murals, because games are art now
when the guy stood in a window in an almost literal shooting gallery
when the guy playing didn't immediately shoot the enemies in sight so that they could pantomime some squad mechanic or destruction or whatever
when everything in the world exploded and they fell 50 feet onto concrete and slammed with falling concrete debris and survived
press f to cut leg
driving sequence


looks great, awesome, all my doritos

Flock of flying birds because why not?

 

[whitehawk]

Read up at my request.

it's right at the end of the video. 16:54

 

[The Jason]

Some pretty impressive scenes in that video. The lighting looks really good

It changed Nib95's life.

 

[tatsuki]

 

[KyleN]

hehehe

 

[Can Crusher]

Mindblowing. This is what it's all about, that destruction omg. Next gen is here.

 

[tapedeck]

The graphics seem like a very big step up from Battlefield 3, this looks mighty impressive.

 

[scitek]

Damn, so that's about 20% of the campaign.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

actually, i think my favorite part was when the trucks pulled up like 150 yards away and then a dust storm happened and also the sun exploded and so you shot these tiny dots while the inner solar system was consumed in stellar flame and sand was in your eyes

 

[Linconan]

Damn, that is awesomsauce!
*unzips fly*

Wish it included the falling debris just after that explosion, it just kept coming down.

 

[VaLiancY]

I hope they made the single player really fun this time. The game looks fucking superb but I didn't even finish BF3's SP because it's just too shallow.

 

[iamvin22]

Exactly the same?

Why do people keep saying this? There is some clear improvements.

Weird.

Because it has no off tv play hehe...

 

[Archpath1]

looks good, but seemed very Medal of Honor-y to me
it be nice if they had the lean mechanic in this game

 

[McLovin]

Visuals look a lot better then bf3 to me. And I'm looking at this on an iPad.

 

[AkIRA_22]

Yeah that got me too, plus the Asian woman's face, so much going on. Oh and the waves as they approach the LHA.

Shit got real.

 

[izt_is]

Next gen graphics.

Same lame ass current gen gameplay.

Scripted shitty set pieces, press x to win, walking and more walking, terrible ai, linear as hell for a BF game.

These midern shooter are out of ideas and are basically tryingto reclaim the COD4 magic.

I suppose you want GTA or Crysis like worlds in BF SP then

 

[shungokusatsu]

11:30 and 12:50 need gifs!

 

[SenjutsuSage]

The graphics were really pretty but otherwise it looks like your standard shootbang campaign. Does anyone actually give a shit about BF single player?

It looks amazing, but it doesn't make me want to actually play the SP. Or, more specifically, I wouldn't regret not playing it is the better way to put it. However, I'm impressed visually. It's the kind of game that I'm likely to play through only cause it's the start of a new gen and there may not be enough of my kind of games.

I anticipate getting more real enjoyment out of the MP portion with friends.

 

[izt_is]

The wide open battlefield portions seemed promising along with ordering squadmates to suppress in order to allow you to flank. I really hope we see more of that in the campaign because wide open battlefields in SP was something I greatly missed from BC1.

Brothers in Arms in Frostbite 3. HOW AWESOME WILL THAT BE

one can dream..

 

[Metroid-Squadron]

Looks fantastic but I'm disappointed that smoke no longer casts shadows :/

Also an option to add object-based motion blur would be great.

 

[J-Rock]

I now want massive flocks of birds in multiplayer.

 

[adelante]

Still not a fan of their half monochromatic and high contrast palette for the outdoors (range of lighting looked so much better indoors however).

 

[lemonade]

how many titans will this take?

 

[ClovingWestbrook]

Imagine Mirrors Edge 2 in that engine :O

 

[la flama blanca]

It looks amazing, but it doesn't make me want to actually play the SP.

Yeah, I was hyped about the BF3 single player just for the visuals, played like an hour and just went to MP lol. I mayyyy just actually play the single player this time around.

Imagine Mirrors Edge 2 in that engine :O

Why you gotta do that for?

 

[Bombadil]

What's this from? BF4? Or some target render?

 

[Takuya]

Dat TressFX(tm) Ponytail. lol

What's this from? BF4? Or some target render?

It's near the end in the gameplay vid.
