I seriously burst out laughing at that title theme/noise/waveform mess at the end. That was just absurd.

Looked pretty good though, for what it was. Like most people I'll probably jump straight in to multiplayer but I'd be willing to give the campaign a chance if it gets enough positive buzz.
 
This is staggering to me. From Amazon top sellers:

I just hope these people don't plan to buy next gen consoles.

A lot of people will never buy console before their price goes below 300-250-200 bucks. And many people are content with the power of ps360.
 
What BF4 needs is a separate 'Scenarios' section that would let people use any vehicle in a sandbox mode so they could practice jets or helicopters or just screw around with highly destructible terrain

Then just have a few basic missions like 'take out these 5 objectives', 'capture these points', 'defend this objective'
 
people care about the single player of battlefield? I wished they made another bad company at least that single player was more tolerable
And now for your daily dose of anecdotal evidence... I have 4 friends that all play battlefield casually, and all 4 of the played through the sp campaign and loved it. That being said i feel like most people have pretty low standards as far as taste goes. I mean look at some of the shit that charts at the box office...

They could always offer bots again. Don't know why they took that feature out.
 
So I finally got to watch the whole thing. It LOOKS great. I just worry that we're just looking a another standard shoot from this gen. I've no problem with a SP campaign in a Battlefield game. I just want them to show some competance in it. Give it a good writer, and a gripping story. BF3's was almost a complete waste of hard drive space.

I was "meh" for the first half, but then it really picked up. Good showing so far. Next Gen looking great.

The 360 version is now at 40 and the PS3 not far behind. People's rush to pre-order games has always been fascinating. Don't get me wrong, I will buy and most likely pre-order BF4, but we haven't even seen the core of the game yet.

EA's got the shooter market in the palm of their hand.
 
Why not use 2 Titans since the 7990 = 2 GPUs? The GTX 690 trumps the Titan too if that's the case... so it never won. But then again $2000 vs $900.
They probably wanted to showcase the game on something that more than 0.1% of people would be able to use to play it. Besides, if it was running at solid 60FPS on 7990 they really didn't need anything more, I guess.

If the PS4 version looks excatly the same i will be very happy with the next gen - great high resolution textures everywhere. Thats what i like.
I expect it to look identical but at 30FPS (with motion blur) and less AA.
 
That offset site thing is bothering the hell out of me. You would never fire a gun at that angle. They should just have the combo sites like they do for Arma. I know battlefield is no where near realistic, but it is still pretty dumb.
 
From a Battlelog poll. I wonder why DICE has seen some negative reaction.
Not really all that negative, but it's singleplayer.

haha, whoever posted that poll must have the same feelings as us. I have to imagine there is some internal strife at DICE over the amount of effort put into the mostly unappreciated Single player part of this game.
 
So lets assume the "720" is as powerful as the PS4. Will BF4 on the PC look the same on next-gen consoles?

Obviously a high end PC will always outmatch any console, given video cards are constantly iterated upon each year.

But I expect the PS4 version to look as good as this demo.
 
what about bad company, im fucking tired of these default fucking soldiers i want sweetwater and haggard god fucking damn it come on dice what the fuck

graphics are breathtaking but dat generic sequences and boring ass characters come onnnnnnn man

Nothing dumb or unrealistic about backup iron sights.
 
The Battlelog poll should have a third choice saying both. Forcing people to choose means the majority will go for MP. I love the SP, but I play through it once on hard to completion, then I jump to MP and never look back.

P.S. how the hell to I see PS3 leader boards? It isn't on the PS3 and the Battlog site never loads up the PS3 or the 360 leader boards. WTF?
 
Some of the things that stood out to me:

2:45, 3:01, 3:17: door opening animations are terrible

5:50: weird animation transition walking --> running

9:00: lol at the weird UFO-style hover

9:17: great explosion effect

12:58: heli crash looks brilliant

Also I don't understand any of the logic around the helicopter stuff. Why the hell are they trying to board the Venom on top of a building? At 7:14 in the video it's within about 5m of them in an empty paddock, why on Earth wouldn't they just land at that point? Also why doesn't the player use their grenade launcher (the one that they're carrying and used moments earlier) on the Havoc when they're on the lift? Why wait until they're hanging out of a moving car? And finally, why on Earth would the Venom still land on the roof with a Havoc in play? What did they think would happen next if everyone actually got on board and they took off?

I really do love the lighting though, and the scene where you get to jump in the VDV hints at maybe some more sandbox-style SP gameplay ala Bad Company 1.
 
SP actually looks pretty good. This coming from someone who owns BF3 on PC and 360 and has yet to start SP. Hopefully MP looks this pretty on console. Planning on pre-ordering console soon at GameStop for freebies and PC for the beta invite.

Not crazy about the friends and score updates thing in top right hand corner though.
 
Sure, but having to rotate the gun 45 degrees to use them, that is dumb. They should do what Arma does, have an ACOG type site with a reflex on top of it. Best of both worlds.

Some competitive shooters swear by them.

MOH: Warfighter had hybrid scopes and dual sights, as well as offset irons, so I'm guessing BF4 will as well. The more things to unlock the better right?
 
I suppose...it could have been interesting though.

Nonetheless, it sounds like naval combat will be a big part of MP, even without subs. Hopefully it's more than just dinghy's.

"And for BF4, we are really excited to bring back the awesome thing that was naval battles in BF2"

"Here is 5 inflatable boats with .50 cal on them"

I'm going to be really bitter if it turns out to be that.
