Battlefield 3 gameplay video, now with developer commentary

@xiLeShadow

This is worse than the commentaries on Machinima.

@Mr Hett

"the commentaries on Machinima."

*shudder*

@psnshe69mee

That doesn't make sense.

@psnshe69mee

That doesn't even make cents, let alone sense.

@psnshe69mee

ur labtop is so strong that it shutter at the fact of playing something so low in resolution - lol

@This Little Man Says His Name Is

He might not be talking about the video itself. Youtube very strictly limits the download speeds of 480p and lower. HD videos are downloaded very fast, so that MIGHT be what he was talking about.

@kentuckyfried

November 1st.

@xiLeShadow

November is so far away... ='(

@KiraXD

It will probably look identical to MoH or Bad Company 2.

@Mr Hett

you think? im hoping a little better.. i mean... at least crysis 2 caliber right?

@WeRequireMOARMinerals

lol he was basically stating the obvious the entire time.

"over here we're going outside... now we are outside... now we are shooting bullets out of our gun... the bullets are hitting things... now we are walking..."

@KiraXD Pretty much. His voice even sounded as if he didn't want to do it.

@vinnycthatwhoibe

I doubt they will show any of that until E3, it would make sense to as they usually let people have a play there and show a demo. But I hope they show it before.

Im itching for some multiplayer info! I wanna know the full damage toll of how buildings really get damaged plus everything else haha

@Apakal Agreed. I can't wait to pass up CoD for this come November. E3 should give us some insight into Multiplayer....

@Milf Biggenson Actually, I think we're getting close to the level where graphics are unlikly tom improve much on current consoles. Let's face it. 512MB ram (256 dedicated on Playstation 3) is hardly enough to display high resolution textures in a real 1920 * 1080 resolution. Console developers are getting to a point where they have to go with sub-HD or HD-ready resolution (1366 * 720 or 1280 * 720) because they're really pushing the consoles to a point where they won't get any more out of the hardware.

No level of texture compression and decompression techniques, and smart pipelining of graphics calculation can make console games look a lot better than what we are seeing today. Sure, Bad Company 2 looks alot better than the first first person shooters on the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3. But comon. Do you really think you'll see something much better? I doubt it.

The hardware has come a long way since the current consoles was released, and I can't wait to see how Dice has used some of the new features of DX11 and all the available hardware on PC's to make the game look amazing. I think that when Nintendo release their new console in 2012, we'll see some amazing DX11-enabled console titles as well. If they go with 2GB of ram, a decent DX11-enabled graphics card, and some multi-core processor with enough pipelines and cache, then the games will have good potential to run quite well in full HD-resoluions.

@Orresnei I think there is still room for improvement. I won't be happy until I'm playing a game that I can't tell apart from the CGI intro. Now, that's what I want to see in the next systems. I'm not a graphics whore either - started on Pong and I definitely appreciate what we call graphics today without any arguments there - but I think we all want that level of sheen. Not to mention real time damage and environmental deformation in every game that ISN'T Red Faction. :)

@allinwonder How nice then, that the Battlefield-franchise (1942, Vietnam, 2 and 2142) was multiplayer titles, and that Battlefield 3 first and formost is a successor to the Battlefield 2 game. I will not judge the games gameplay merit on some singleplayer footage. Everyone who's had some experience with the original titles now that multiplayer is where it is at. And if the multiplayer is half as good as Battlefield 2, and can produce the same level (or close) of animations, physics and overall graphics as in the singleplayer. Well, then the game will be something completely different from the Call of Duty games, allbeit with a somewhat similar singleplayer campaign.
