Battlefield 4- Out on October 29th (current gen)

[Waheed]

Many reviewers saying PS4 looks closer to PC.

Ps4=900p xbone=720p confirmed

Both look impressive, great job by DICE

Jackfrags said on twitter that the ps4 mp looks better than x1 sp lolwhat?

 

[Akira AC]

Rumours about the X one being underpowered by the PS4 are true.

Still can't get my head around in how my a common gaming computer will run them pretty much 1080p without a few effects.

4%, I'm dying here, please don't spoil.

I just finished the first mission of the Campaign. I was running Ultra graphic settings and the game looks fantastic. Frame rates are not as consistent as what I was seeing earlier today when I was playing the Battlefield 3 Campaign. However, the frame rates are still very good and everything runs terrific.

1080p and at how many frames? Im sure PS4 could handle 1080p quite easily if 40 or 50 fps was the target and not 60.

 

[Pako]

Oh man, this looks way better than beta. Gained a few frame to. As Prophet says, "vsync enabled."

1080p and at how many frames? Im sure PS4 could handle 1080p quite easily if 40 or 50 fps was the target and not 60.

Just got done for quite a few rounds tonight. 1080p ultra at 144fps solid.

Here's some BF4 screen shots porn for ya:

Um, are you guys playing early because pc or because US?

Not sure. Release date for me was October 28th at 10pm my time zone.

 

[Brett]

The NA region was released at midnight Eastern Time on 10/29/13.

 

[Shaun]

Thanks Pako, I'm still torn between pc, ps3 or ps4.
I pre-ordered ps3 but I can still cancel that.

Edit: And Brett.

 

[Omnis]

I'm such a dumbass. Forgot to preorder last night. Do you still get China Rising if you order Premium?

You can get the PS3 version now and do the trade thing for the PS4 version

 

[Omnis]

Perhaps missing the pre-order was for the best. Green Man Gaming has BF4 on PC for only 48 bucks. http://www.dealzon.com/deals/cheap-battlefield-4#battlefield-4-pc

I'll wait for black friday or something to get Premo.

 

[chromatic9]

Does the Xbox One have AA?

I'm watching the IGN video and it looks terrible.

As it stands that's my position at the moment.
Just not sure whether to can that idea and go the pc route instead. Only thing stopping me is I'm rubbish with a keyboard and mouse.

I'm in the same situation.

I started the DL yesterday at about 10 pm and I'm not sure if I get the expansion pack.

I also have 20 hours left of download yet ...

 

[Ibonibo]

Premium has China Rising. Yes. so no worries

I will only get mine next week. UK and their bloody friday releases ! But I save 50 bucks of the german price. Well worth the 3 day wait.

How many people do now fit into the friends list? Still only 20??

Pako: amazing shots :up:

I don't have the money to get a high end PC, also I prefer controllers and playstation exclusives

 

[Phoenix]

BF4 singleplayer got LOADS of bugs...

My teammates floating 100 meters up in the air, and falling through the elevator only to get stuck and needing to restart. Oh well.

 

[mcfizzle]

This will be my first Battlefield. Played some of 3 but only single player and will multiplayer a go. The only question is if I should upgrade to the PS4 edition in a couple weeks.

 

[sesselpupser]

Huh. I've once again flopped onto the 'buy' side of the fence, but as I missed the pre-order window I'll have to wait for a decent discount now, there's no way I'm paying the same price as I would've last week to get less content.

Aiming with a mouse is pretty natural. Granted, many of the people you will go against have been using a mouse for a long time. But the aiming does get better. Using a keyboard takes practice. It frustrated me for a long time.

I would not go back to a controller given the choice. Now I can control my guy better with a mouse and keyboard. Plus I get benefit of better aim because of the more precise mouse.

However, playing with friends should at least somewhat factor into the equation. I would nudge them towards playing on PC if possible. But if they are going to stick to console, then that may sway your choice.

Multiplayer Launch Trailer:


Turn up the volume just before the ATV rides off and you can hear a certain Support player.

The ps4 version is very close to the PC and has 64 players. so yah I think you definitely should

 

[Phoenix]

Rush rounds are way to short. Average of 4-5 mins a round.

 

[Daniel]

Rush rounds are way to short. Average of 4-5 mins a round.

Why is that? Would it be because there are too few MCOMs, or because your team was bad?

 

[Phoenix]

Attacking or defending, rounds are to short.

Needs to be 300 ticket or more on a 64 player Rush server.

 

[Daniel]

Did 64 man Rush in BF3 have a larger number of tickets compared to 24 or 32 man rush?

 

[Ddrizle]

The X1 review copies lacked ambient occlusion, will be in retail builds.

 

[Phoenix]

Did 64 man Rush in BF3 have a larger number of tickets compared to 24 or 32 man rush?

Not necessarily. But it was nice having 500 ticket (or more) on alot of the maps, such as the cluster in Metro. 32 or 64 player, depended on the server.

Hopefully there will be more tickets in Rush in BF4 aswell.
