EA Invite Hints at Battlefield 4 Reveal on March 26th (GDC)

Even the flaking paint texture? I thought current gear had a smooth matte paint job covered with fabric.
Yeah standard infantry that would be correct, but its similar to the special forces style in BF3.

edit: Oh well, doesn't matter anyway.
 
Just realized this, but whatever is seen at the event on the 26th will assuredly be embargoed until the next day, or even the Friday of that week. They did an event almost identical to this last year at GDC to reveal Premium and it was embargoed for at least a day.

Just something to keep in mind.

Now, with all pre-release buzz, take this with a huge grain of salt. He is the Director of Battlefieldo and probably knows a lot about BF, but I somehow doubt he has BF4 connections. Then again, what do I know right? Perhpas DICE gave the big community guys a preview like they did with the Gamestop managers? Again, doubtful, but possible.

If it's true then the Chinese leak is all but confirmed. Guess all we can do now is wait.
 
That looks absolutely stunning but I have to echo those that said the same ole same ole setting and style hurt it. I think this may be what cutscenes will look like on PC rather than realtime gameplay.

Same old setting? I dont understand this complaint. Where should wars be fought anyway, in Nintendo land?

There isnt much you can do in terms of settings except for forests, deserts, winter and urban. BF3 had all of those settings.
 
I wish for the LOVE OF GOD they fix the lighting.

I hated the over contrast of BF3, the pitch black shadows and how everything else was very bright ( plus the bloody blue tint)

Yes i did try to change the settings on my tv, just made the game look washed out, no other games have this problem.

Should be as much like arma 3's lighting as possible IMO.
 
Can't wait for 20GB patches.

Hopefully the next-gen "play while you download the game" thing works with patches too. I can't stand waiting 5 hours downloading a fucking 2GB patch because Dice can't do it right in the first place.

Arma 3's lighting is pretty damn good, and BF3 clearly has it's own hyperrealism style, it's still a beautiful game though, and I never had any problems with patch black shadows.

And what blue tint? On night maps?

Yeah I was looking forward to end game today only to find a 6GB update for the base game along with the 4+GB for the new maps. Insane.

It just means that the patch include a lot of HD assets, and those are big you know. Hell I downloaded a 21GB big jrpg recently. (ni no kuni)

the bigger the patch = more content. I dont get why people complain in the HD era.

also the wii U had like a 5GB patch for a system update...see!

Yip yip. Someone in the ArmA 3 thread put it best: BF3 tries to emulate cinematic/movie lighting. ArmA 3 tries to emulate real world lighting.


And I'm pretty sure all these shots have post-processing ON. You can always turn it off.
 
I think they already said they're bringing back commander, right?

With that and the option to use a NORMAL FUCKING CHAT SYSTEM (no party-chat-only bullshit), I'll get back to the franchise.

BF3's replay value was killed on PC because of the absence of these things.
 
Unconfirmed, but wasn't it a part of the big leak, most of which has been confirmed thus far?

Nothing has been confirmed thus far as far as I am aware. It was a so called leak from EA china office, its possible that its true but its also very easy to report fake news.

EA or dice off course have never revealed anything about BF4 except that BF4 exists.

A lot from that leak has been confirmed.
