[PC] New Battlefield 4 footage showcases some pretty impressive detail

[PC] New Battlefield 4 footage showcases some pretty impressive detail
I'm starting to tire of the annual tirade of military shooters, but I will happily concede that Battlefield 4 looks stunning on PC. Some new footage has been uploaded by YouTube user Threatty showcasing some pretty amazing attention to detail.

Before hitting the play button I highly advice kicking the video quality to the highest setting to help the visual prowess really sink in.


Battlefield 4 is coming to PC, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360 this October; it will also be available for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One sometime around their launch. I'm very interested to see how the next generation versions of the game will stack up against the PC version.

Thanks VG247.

[PC, PS3, PS4, X360, X1] EA and DICE reveal new Battlelog features for Battlefield 4

[PC, PS3, PS4, X360, X1] EA and DICE reveal new Battlelog features for Battlefield 4
My verdict on Battlefield 4 is still out, especially considering that Battlefield 4 has been confirmed for current generation consoles but won't be coming to Wii U, but some of the new features being included with Battlelog seem pretty neat.
A lot of the stuff is leaning heavily on extensive second screen interaction, but that's fine with me. I'm a huge fan of playing around on the second screen, but it just makes me even more frustrated that it isn't coming to the Wii U.

Battlefield 4 is slated to release later this year for PC, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One.

[Multi] DICE confirms focus on Battlefield 4; no more Bad Company games coming yet

[Multi] DICE confirms focus on Battlefield 4; no more Bad Company games coming yet
[Image: game-news-image-2013-7b78f840e56ad93e155...b94848.jpg]
I actually enjoyed chunks of Bad Company 2, which is why I actually looked forward to the potential of seeing a third game in the spin-off series now that Battlefield 3 was out of the way. However, it appears that isn't happening anytime soon.

Eurogamer is reporting that a recent tweet from the official Battlefield account has confirmed that the team is focused on Battlefield 4 and the subsequent DLC at the moment.

"We love the Bad Company series, but don't have it in active development," claims the account. "Battlefield 4 is our main focus for the year."

This makes sense, Battlefield 4 is coming this October for PC, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One. DICE simply don't have time for a new Bad Company game at the moment and considering how severely Battlefield 3's sales eclipsed those amassed by Bad Company 2 its no surprise.

That doesn't stop me from feeling a little bit disappointed. Oh well, let's see if EA and DICE can win me over for another shooter, although I feel as though I'm probably going to skip on them for now and pick up a premium release with the DLC (that's right, EA, I'm still bitter about Battlefield 3's 'Premium Edition').

Do you want a Bad Company 3?

[PC, PS3, X360] DICE won't become a "Battlefield factory", Mirror's Edge 2 underway

[PC, PS3, X360] DICE won't become a "Battlefield factory", Mirror's Edge 2 underway
[Image: game-news-image-2012-07774f357239149831d...e1d1dd.jpg]
Remember the controversy that kicked up when EA announced that early pre-orders for Medal of Honor: Warfighter would gain access to the Battlefield 4 beta? Two years between main Battlefield entries really didn't seem like much time, many fans began to fear that EA would turn DICE into the new Infinity Ward.

Fear not though, the Swedish developer insists that they do not want to become a Battlefield factory. Patrick Soderlund, EA Games vice president, has discussed DICE's activities with OXM.

“Well it depends, right? Maybe it is and maybe it isn't. It's also important for us - the DICE guys are roughly 300 people in the Stockholm studio; not all of them are working on Battlefield things, and that's intentional, because we don't want to become a Battlefield factory.

"The minute we start saying 'you're going to make a Battlefield game for the rest of your life', they're going to go some place else. So for them to make great Battlefield games there need to be other things for them to do as well. That's why we have people who move around quite a bit. And then obviously we have a boatload of people that just want to make Battlefield because they love it.”

“Same thing with the team in San Francisco that are making Dead Space. It's a stunning team and they're passionate about what they do, and they love making Dead Space. Then the answer's 'well, then make Dead Space'. Then we have to figure out how to sell it and make it successful."

[Image: game-news-image-2012-bbdbe50cbf79dda2736...432e01.jpg]
That's not all though, according to Ben Cousins, general manager of ngmoco Sweden and former executive producer of the Battlefield franchise, the studio has a trick up their sleeve. Cousins tweeted that the studio is working on Mirror's Edge 2.

"It is general knowledge in the Stockholm dev scene that Mirror's Edge 2 is in production at DICE."

So, there you have it. EA has declined to comment at this point, but I'm sure I'm not alone in hoping that a sequel to cult hit will surface.

Walmart Black Friday: Batman, Battlefield 3 $28 each, blue Wii $99

by on Nov 10th 2011 10:00AM

This year, you say, you're not going to watch retailer websites all Thanksgiving weekend for deals; you're not going to give in and drive to a store at midnight for cheap games. Walmart is the first to try to convince you otherwise, posting its Black Friday circular with discounts and exclusive offers it hopes will bring you back on the most dangerous shopping day of the year.

For $199, you have a choice of console bundles: an Xbox 360 4GB with Gears 3, 3 months of Live, and a $50 gift card; an Xbox 360 4GB with Kinect, Kinect Adventures, and a $50 gift card; or a 160GB PS3 with Ratchet & Clank All 4 One, LittleBigPlanet 2, and 3 months of Plus membership.

The blue Wii, announced in Europe as a Mario & Sonic bundle, will be released in America exclusively to Walmart ... at the crazy low price of $100.

If you're already set for systems, Walmart is also offering limited-time deals on games. From Thanksgiving night at 10pm through Friday, you can get recent releases like Batman: Arkham City, Battlefield 3, Gears of War 3, Infamous 2, and Call of Duty: Black Ops for $28. Dance Central 2, Kinect Sports Season Two, and Epic Mickey (among others) are $15. You can also get Yakuza 4 for ten damn dollars -- plus the cost of having to fight for your life at Walmart.

[Thanks, Justin.]

[PC] Review Roundup - Battlefield 3

[PC] Review Roundup - Battlefield 3
[Image: game-news-image-2011-4d27eff1629b302601a...48241f.png]Joystiq - 4.5/5 - "In a way, your choice should be simple. If solo play is your primary motivator, then it's hard to recommend Battlefield 3 as anything more than an audio-visual treat. The times where Battlefield 3 does its damnedest to go toe-to-toe with Call of Duty are the times it stumbles the hardest. But when DICE is doing what it's always done best, Battlefield 3 is a uniquely mesmerizing multiplayer game with a seemingly endless number of ways to feel like a success. It's not revolutionary, but it's the best Battlefield game, and that's saying a lot."

IGN - 9/10 - "When you shut down Battlefield 3 and let the Frostbite 2-powered dust settle, it certainly has some problems. But DICE’s adoration of and expertise with the online experience permeates every aspect of its multiplayer. Regardless of the narrative missteps or the occasional glitches, Battlefield 3 offers an unforgettable, world-class multiplayer suite that's sure to excite shooter fans, whether they fired their first bullet in Battlefield 1942 or have just now heeded Battlefield's call of duty."

1UP - A- - "Battlefield 3 is a game that's informed, not bound, by both its predecessors and its competition. It takes what made the series great in earlier games and marries it to the innovations from more recent BF titles. The single-player and co-op campaigns both have their issues, but the multiplayer component is worth the price of entry alone. "

GameTrailers - 9.2/10 - "Battlefield 3 is a lot like prior games in the series. It features a stellar multiplayer suite with practically limitless replay value and a mostly forgettable campaign. The coop missions are a nice addition, and to be fair, the single-player is the best in series history, but it still falls short of its contemporaries. Online warfare is intricate and rewarding, but it also presents a learning curve and a strong reliance on team coordination. Enough can't be said about the presentation of the PC version as it carries its own levels of reward. Battlefield 3 rewards those who truly enlist."

Game Informer - 9.5/10 - "Battlefield fans hoping for the most polished entry in the series won’t be disappointed by this massive sequel. Multiplayer maintains the high level of quality DICE is known for, and the campaign is the best in franchise history. Outside of the annoying Battlelog and a tacked-on, uninspired co-op mode consisting of six short standalone missions, the only downside to Battlefield 3 is the lack of substantial changes to the multiplayer formula. However, that shouldn’t stop longtime fans and newcomers from enjoying one of the best FPS experiences in gaming."

[GC'11, PC, PS3, X360] EA showcase Battlefield 3 co-op at Gamescom

[GC'11, PC, PS3, X360] EA showcase Battlefield 3 co-op at Gamescom
Do you want another reason to pay attention to Battlefield 3? If so, EA revealed the games co-operative mode on stage during their Gamescom conference a few hours ago.

The mode seems to be unconnected to the main single-player campaign and sees the two players work together as well as trying to set the best times and getting the highest scores. Check out some of the footage below.

[GC'11, PC, PS3, X360] Jets tear up the skies in Battlefield 3's 'Caspian Border'
Jets. JETS. Check out the debut jet gameplay for this October's Battlefield 3. The gameplay trailer takes place on the 'Caspian Border' map in an intense 64 player Conquest match full of vehicle combat.
Honestly, I think I could deal with Origin for that action.

If BF3 outclasses MW3 by enough, people will take notice. It won't outsell MW3 but I could see it doing 10 million+ if it is as good as it looks and it will only grow from there. [Image: default.png]

Next round of EA server culling includes Army of Two, Battlefield 2: Modern Combat

by on Jul 14th 2011 9:00AM

As boys turn to men, we know it's hard to say goodbye to yesterday, but time marches on and Electronic Arts has server power bills it's no longer keen on paying. EA has decided to shut down online functionality for several titles, including Army of Two, Battlefield 2: Modern Combat and Need for Speed: Most Wanted, as of August 11.

EA's explanation is that games being shut down represent "fewer than 1% of all peak online players across all EA titles," and that its server teams would rather "focus on keeping a positive experience for the other 99% of customers playing our more popular games." Find the list of titles being disconnected from the internet after the break.

[PC, PS3, X360] DICE details Alpha Trial and Beta invites for Battlefield 3

[PC, PS3, X360] DICE details Alpha Trial and Beta invites for Battlefield 3
[Image: game-news-image-2011-abdd8b326a27dd28eea...81213e.jpg]
Are you excited by the idea of playing Battlefield 3 early? Well, so are a lot of users and now DICE has played up a brief but helpful 'Question & Answer' section to answer any questions you may have. We'll repost what they have written to help you out.
Quote:How can I get into the Alpha Trial?
It is a highly tech focused test period where the main purpose is to do a number of server related tests in preparation for game launch requiring a set amount of players online to ensure the final experience is as much fun and easy as possible.

Is this the Beta promised to buyers of Medal of Honor: Limited Edition?
No, this is an Alpha Trial, meaning this software is still not at the "Beta" development milestone. The Open Beta will start in September. The exact date for when Medal of Honor: Limited Edition players can join the Beta will be announced at a later date.

Can I join the Battlefield 3 Closed Alpha Trial?
The Alpha is a closed test and by invitation only. If you'd like to have a chance to be called upon make sure to register for our newsletter and ensure your Veteran status is up to date.
We are also not giving away keys to the Alpha Trial on any of our social networking platforms.

Recently a Medal of Honor: Limited Edition Beta newsletter went out to users. What is that all about?
Well, that newsletter says you are entitled to play the beta in September. It is however not a ticket or a code. If you purchased a copy of Medal of Honor with the Battlefield 3 Beta sticker on it, you are eligible for the Beta. If you have not received the newsletter, make sure you opt in on your EA Profile to receive them. Also, if you haven´t received the newsletter and own a copy of Medal of Honor: Limited edition, you are eligible to play in the beta.


If you have any questions then be sure to hit up the author of the Q&A on Twitter and they'll reply to as best they can.

Battlefield Bad Company 2 [Download]

Battlefield Bad Company 2 [Download]A blog started the forever war--a global war set in the not so distant future between two groups (the Rebels and the Coco's).

Dylan Austin has grown up with the war being a constant background to his life; his dad has just returned from war missing a leg; his older sister is missing and presumed dead from the war; and all through school war has been embedded into everything they teach. Teens have been raised on educational war video games, and their minds are polluted with the idea that war is just a game.

Unlike most kids Dylan's age, he does not eagerly await the day he can serve the Rebel cause. At sixteen, Dylan is one of the weakest kids in his class, and is always picked last for war games; he's not even good at the government issued video games that are supposed to make you more combat ready. Unfortunately for Dylan, war has come early, and he has no other choice but to fight.

No one suspected he could last a single day in battle, but after Dylan, along with two of his friends, wins an unusual battle inside the Disneyland amusement park in Anaheim, he becomes something that no one (not even himself) ever suspected: a hero and leader.

Dylan is sent with his two friends, Trinity and Hunter, to Seattle, where the fighting is worse than anywhere else in the country. He is expected to lead a company of over two dozen into one of the worst combat zones anyone has ever seen--but first he has to earn their trust and respect.

The longer Dylan fights, the more he learns that true leadership has little to do with physical strength. He also begins to learn the true origins (and absurdity) of the war that he is forced to fight in, and looks for a way to stop it.

Price: $19.99

Battlefield 3 trailer ends with a crash, bang, drop

by on Apr 15th 2011 10:30AM

The first part of the latest Battlefield 3 trailer is an elegiac re-cut with a sprinkle of hyperbole (who says "unnervingly beautiful" anyway?). The last part is all "whooah" and "yee-hawwww" -- you'll like it.

[PC, PS3, X360] Battlefield 3 on Consoles Lacks Visual Capabilities of PC

[PC, PS3, X360] Battlefield 3 on Consoles Lacks Visual Capabilities of PC [Image: game-news-image-2011-237f840b402a5922ed6...bdabcb.jpg]
By now most of you have probably watched at least one of the jaw-dropping videos of DICE's upcoming shooter Battlefield 3. If you've been crossing your fingers that these videos are representative of the console versions of the game, keep on wishing. Any gameplay already shown is running on PC, likely a particularly powerful PC at that.

What are console players missing out on? "The higher resolution, the higher framerate, the anti-aliasing, the motion blur, stuff like that. We can't have it to the same quality on the console," says executive producer Patrick Bach. "Most people will be very positive because they might be afraid that it won't look as good as other games and it will, and some people will of course be disappointed that it doesn't look like the PC version."

He does offer some restitution for console gamers though: "What we're showing on PC might look better than on console, but what we'll show on console doesn't look worse than any other game out there. It's probably even better than every other game out there on console." Meanwhile PC gamers looking for a title to challenge their system's capabilities should be pleased that DICE intends to set a new standard for graphics technology: "There's always competition to build not only the best game but the best technology, the best features," says Bach, "and you want to be the best at everything, of course, that's how things are being moved forward."

EA and DICE are yet to officially announce a release date for Battlefield 3, but recent rumours are strongly suggesting a November 2, 2011 release.

[PS3, X360, PC] DICE says Battlefield 3 could do 256 players, decided against it

[PS3, X360, PC] DICE says Battlefield 3 could do 256 players, decided against it [Image: game-news-image-2011-45bc1bffbf35698d805...423236.jpg]
Battlefield 3 allows 64 players online in PC and 24 online in the console version, but allegedly the game is technically possible of pulling off 256 player clashes.

This information comes from DICE CEO Patrick Soderlund, he claims that their upcoming shooter could handle the same amount of players as the massive shooter, MAG (who currently reigns as king as far as player quantity goes).

"A lot of people ask us about 64 versus 128 or 256 players. Technically, we can go to 256, we've tried it," he told Atomic MPC, "We play tested with 128. You've got to make a game that's fun to play and, arguably, we think that the most fun you can have is when it's between 32 and 40 players."

Not much has been said about Battlefield 3's online features, it seems EA are playing their hand close to their chest. But it was revealed that the game would feature dedicated servers, which should come as a relief to many.

[PS3, X360, PC] Rumour: Battlefield 3 DLC Info Leaked?


[PS3, X360, PC] Rumour: Battlefield 3 DLC Info Leaked? [Image: game-news-image-2011-1ff9913b2aa9f86e80c...2e4c60.png]
It looks as though the special DLC for Battlefield 3 may have leaked out a bit earlier than EA or DICE would have liked. We are still awaiting final confirmation, but it looks like a poster uncovered by a member on the Battlefield forums may have stolen the thunder.

If said poster is to be believed, then the special DLC that will be coming with the limited edition of Battlefield 3 will be a four-map redo of the "Strike at Karkand" map from Battlefield 2. Those who do not pick up the limited edition will be able to purchase the DLC roughly a month after launch. This particular map was one of the most popular ones from Battlefield 2 and there have been several people asking for it on the official forums.

Whether or not this ends up being true will be a matter of time, EA have been contacted and when an answer is known either way then you'll see it here.

You can check out a close-up of the alleged poster here.

We're nearly there, folks. It looks like Battlefield 3 has spent enough of its time hiding behind the curtains at DICE and is just about ready to emerge. To start off the excitement, Battlefield 3 will be the cover story of the next issue of Game Informer.

We will have to wait for the magazine to hit shelves before we can start reading about the game's singleplayer and multiplayer features, but to ease the wait you should check back at the official Battlefield website tomorrow for the teaser trailer. The game will be gracing PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 so it'll be well worth keeping an eye out.
