Rumors:

Lasgana: BF4
Lasgana: Coming October 23rd, 2013
Lasgana: development just started, expected to be done in 1 yr [Nirolak's Note: Since this is the one likely to elicit the most "this is fake" notes, I feel I should elaborate. Given some later points (like already have an internal demo), this seems to refer to EA's normal two year development cycle of a one year pre-production cycle with ~30-40 people and then ballooning up to 150-300 people to make the game after most things are prototyped and planned out. Visceral, BioWare, and a fair number of publishers outside EA also operate this way since it allows you to have multiple projects without cyclical layoffs due to scaling down in pre-production and scaling up in production. For example, during the downtime between Bad Company 2 and Battlefield 3, DICE's spare staff worked on making Medal of Honor's multiplayer and helping to build Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit. As to what the bulk of DICE's staff worked on prior to this going into production, it's probably either a second project or, once again, other EA games.]

Battlefield 4 will run on the new Frostbite 2.5 engine, which is a complete overhaul of Frostbite 2.0. The new engine will be Direct X 11 only on PC, and enables many new features. One of the biggest ones which has been hinted at in the teaser images with all the rain, is dynamic weather. Things like rain, sandstorms, fog, haze, and snow can now be generated completely randomly during gameplay. Destruction will also be getting an upgrade bringing Battlefield 4 more in line with the levels of destruction seen in Bad Company 2, in which you could blow holes in walls if you needed a door, and all buildings could be completely leveled by the end of a match. Many fans were upset that Battlefield 3 had only some destructible environments, while many of the buildings couldn't be taken down. It seems DICE aims to fix this complaint in BF4.

Trailer is supposed be to up late Tuesday night.


I, for one, am pretty jazzed about this game. Think it could be a real hit on Next Gen, as it will be the first time we get the full 64 player experience on consoles. BF3 on PC was the best shooter this generation. I think BF4 will be even better.

What say you, NT?

 

[waitwut]

my body is ready

 

[Mactastic4167]

Want to see how this looks on PS4.

 

[aedroth]

Battlefield 3 on the PC was a big disappointment to me, felt like it was a console port. And DICE/EA not giving moding support also killed it for me. Hopefully BF4 is better on PC.

 

[theenorthstar]

YIS!

 

[unknwn]

YES.

 

[RustyShackleford]

This ain't eem the EA shooter I'm looking forward too. But I'm interested to what improvement they have to made since BF3.

But real talk, these dudes gotta at least try to the campaign and co-op modes this time.

 

[flatbushfiyah23]

my body is ready

 

[spidermachine916]

i just hope this isn't one of the first launch titles that come out with the ps4
i wanna wait at least a year before getting one

 

[Junok]

Can't wait!

Looks like a polished BF3. Not mad. Slightly underwhelming but Im coo with it.

Just give me 32+/64 player conquest and something better than 60 FPS and im happy.

Pending on how gameplay is of course but i have faith in that,

 

[frank mucus]

Won't cop unless it can run faster. Everything seemed so slow in BF3 when I played online on the PS3. First week I had a nice KD record of 3:1 but after that I was getting slaughtered and getting 1:100.

 

[ihatemyshoes]

rumor its 720p 60 fps and 64 player online for PS4/Next Box and PC ...

can't wait for this ...
 

 

[crazy ebw]

I still preferred Duty but BF is cool with me. I'm interested to see the trailer and everything they have in store.

 

[swendro]

I was holding out hope the first trailer would be MP this time, but from the looks of those screens we'll be getting an SP campaign trailer. ( aka the part no one gives a damn about when it comes to Battlefield.)

 

[2g00d4u]

May cop, especially if they have some sort of pre-order bonus/expansion/etc like BF3 for under retail.

I bought BF3 with B2K for under $40 I believe. Pretty slick deal

Amazon

Dynamic weather sounds nice. I never played bad company, but a more realistic destruction is a plus.

Not a fan of that server browser, but I dont see them scraping that feature. Another problem I had with BF3 was that after 3-4 months of release, the game felt dead. Specific server settings (mainly 32-64 conquest) that I set became less and less. Ton of empty servers.

 

[leannsupreme]

Can't wait till 11pm Pacific tonight when the media is allowed by EA to start reporting on BF4.

 

[Bend_The_Knee]

rumor its 720p 60 fps and 64 player online for PS4/Next Box and PC ...

can't wait for this ...

 

It will be 1080p

 

[swendro]

:\ @ the music. Really?

 

[crazy ebw]

UNDERWHELMED.

 

[swendro]

Obviously. It's a 360p 30 sec clip. Can't see jack.

 

[crazy ebw]

I can see enough of what I needed.

*waits for 720p and higher full version before passing judgement

 

[theenorthstar]

Obviously. It's a 360p 30 sec clip. Can't see jack.

Exactly.

Rihanna doe... ?

 

[wr]

Exactly.

Rihanna doe... ?

I'm sayin.

There is a point when you over hype something and it just seems junky.

So far game looks like BF3 part 2. Same graphical theme, music and fonts.
