I don't think they've shown anything, I hope they do so soon though, I'll be getting the game on a console and would like to see how different it is from the PC version.

I simply dont understand why HARDCORE PC gamers have this idea in their heads that BF3 on consoles is going to look like complete trash. First of all, I seriously doubt that more than maybe only 10% of you are going to get the oppurtunity to "max out" BF3 visually and still have descent frame rates. I promise you that the vast majority of PC gamers will be running BF3 on medium to high settings and of those I bet atleast 50% will be running it at 1366 x 768 or 1440 x 900. I will most likely get it on PC because I now prefer M/KB to controller. Secondly, have any of you played BFBC 2 on consoles. It is a very good looking game and now you all seem to think that even with updated graphics, Frostbite 2 and everything, somehow BF3 will look worse than BFBC 2 on consoles?? No and NO!!!! So keep your PC fanboyisms in check as the vast majority of you wont be playing the game at any better visuals than what consoles are at.

P.S.

Dont bring up...64 players, dedicated servers and mods, because nobody cares. Consoles get DLC and XBL is just fine!!

It's a given it won't look as good as the PC version. However, if you care that much about how it looks, get a PC.

It will probably look very similar to MoH lol. Which isn't that bad I guess. The lighting should be great, you will still have the same destructable enviroments.

I doubt any console gamer should be worried as such, Dice does not really have a track record of making ugly games ;)

It will not look like the PC version, but I doubt the downgrade will be huge, since they aimed for smaller mp envioments for console instead of a downgrade in graphics.

If you study the trailers one of the thing that makes the game look so good is the lighting, it will still be there, and while anyone can understand a high end PC will have a better looking game it is not as if the consoles get a PS2 era looking game

:lol::lol:

Im pretty sure that 0% of console gamers will be able to max it out or play at decent framerates too. And those medium to high settings on PC will likely still look better than consoles.

Based on the footage I've seen, comparing Battlefield 3 on PC to Battlefield Bad Company 2 on Xbox 360 is like comparing Halo 3 to Halo 2. Halo is still playable, but it looks like garbage now. Battlefield 3 (PC version) is a generation ahead. Also, playing this game on pc on medium to high settings will still look way better than playing on the consoles.

Every battlefield game on console has had dedicated servers, the problem was there was no server browser.

Lol, this is BS. The lighting has improved drasticly, but textures are hardly a big difference for example.

No, my point is BFBC 2 which is now a 2 year old console game still looks very good even now and BF 3 will look even better. It just seems that the PC segment has this opinion that the difference between the PC and console versions VISUALLY will be so vast that it is incomprehensible. My opinion is that you all are kidding yourselves if you think DICE is going to give the PC gamers a golden egg and the console segment a turd. DICE cannot afford to have the console version to be anything less than stellar if they hope to actually outsell MW3. Yes, the BF series has it cult following on the console, but unless BF3 is mind blowing, it will still and always be second for console gamers as far as military shooters go.

Of course there wont be a big difference, resolution, aa, and framerate aside, the differences will be minimal visually. But hermit just know hot to use hyperbole.

Because I did play the BC 2 demo in PS3 and it made my eyes bleed, whereas in PC the game still has one of the best visuals of the last years. And I'm playin BF 2 at 2560 x 1440, settings maxed with AF X16 and AA X4, at average 50 fps. I'm looking for a 28 nm new GPU for the BF3 release date to improve my current 5870 (which is still a beastly card at the moment).

Also remember that DICE will shoot themselves in the foot if they set the bar so high that only those with elite gaming rigs get the full experience. If DICE is smart they optimize the crud out of BF3 so that even those with mid range machines can still get mind blowing visuals but with maybe less particle effects and shadowing. To be honest, who in the world has time in a FPS to admire sparks flying, your refliction in a puddle, blood spray or how realistically your shadow is cast on a building???

Good example of hyperbole. I played at the internet cafe here, 1200p, 8xaa, 16xaf average of 50 fps, it looked great, then i went to my xbox 360, and the difference wasnt enough for me to stop playing. I dont know where you get this eye bleeding stuff, but the difference is so small its not even funny. Good luck, they showed it running on a 580.

I simply dont understand why HARDCORE PC gamers have this idea in their heads that BF3 on consoles is going to look like complete trash. are at.

P.S.

Dont bring up...64 players, dedicated servers and mods, because nobody cares. Consoles get DLC and XBL is just fine!!

Because I did play the BC 2 demo in PS3 and it made my eyes bleed, whereas in PC the game still has one of the best visuals of the last years. And I'm playin BF 2 at 2560 x 1440, settings maxed with AF X16 and AA X4, at average 50 fps. I'm looking for a 28 nm new GPU for the BF3 release date to improve my current 5870 (which is still a beastly card at the moment).

But if you've never experienced such things, are they really missed??? See for me, 720p look s just fine. Ive never played a game console or PC that was higher than 720p. Heck, everyone talks 1080p this and 1080p that on consoles, but yet of all the games released this entire generation of consoles, how many games have true native 1080p support? Probably about 10...maybe! Same goes for PC. Im betting the vast majoity of PC gamers outside the "hardcore" realm have never played a game above 1920 x 1080 if even that high.

Also remember that DICE will shoot themselves in the foot if they set the bar so high that only those with elite gaming rigs get the full experience. If DICE is smart they optimize the crud out of BF3 so that even those with mid range machines can still get mind blowing visuals but with maybe less particle effects and shadowing. To be honest, who in the world has time in a FPS to admire sparks flying, your refliction in a puddle, blood spray or how realistically your shadow is cast on a building???

It's not about sitting there and starign at the pretty lights/shadows.

Your brain is EXTREMELY good at taking in this information very quickly. So it immediately feels more realistic/imemrsive to you, it doesn't matter that you're not focusing on the graphics.

My brain will also not pay attention to this at all if im in the heat of battle. No seriously, i could care less about the resolution of a shadow when a helicopter is trying to shoot me.

I simply dont understand why HARDCORE PC gamers have this idea in their heads that BF3 on consoles is going to look like complete trash. First of all, I seriously doubt that more than maybe only 10% of you are going to get the oppurtunity to "max out" BF3 visually and still have descent frame rates. I promise you that the vast majority of PC gamers will be running BF3 on medium to high settings and of those I bet atleast 50% will be running it at 1366 x 768 or 1440 x 900. I will most likely get it on PC because I now prefer M/KB to controller. Secondly, have any of you played BFBC 2 on consoles. It is a very good looking game and now you all seem to think that even with updated graphics, Frostbite 2 and everything, somehow BF3 will look worse than BFBC 2 on consoles?? No and NO!!!! So keep your PC fanboyisms in check as the vast majority of you wont be playing the game at any better visuals than what consoles are at.

P.S.

64 players dedicated servers MODS. consoles pay for mods and xbl is not fine

What mods? Dice has confirmed NO mod tools for BF3, dedicated servers exist on all platforms.

Modders will make their own tools if needed. It's never stopped them in the past.

I'm looking for a 28 nm new GPU for the BF3 release date to improve my current 5870 (which is still a beastly card at the moment).

Good example of hyperbole. I played at the internet cafe here, 1200p, 8xaa, 16xaf average of 50 fps, it looked great, then i went to my xbox 360, and the difference wasnt enough for me to stop playing. I dont know where you get this eye bleeding stuff, but the difference is so small its not even funny. Good luck, they showed it running on a 580.

Is not a hyperbole at all. Playing it at four times 720p with four times the anisotropic and antialising filters and with things as SSAO which aren't even available in console make a huge difference in visuals (not to talk about playing at much higher framerrate and with 32 players supported instead of 24).

Is fun in consoles? Yes! Even 10+ years old games at 800 x 600 as Diablo II are still a lot of fun despite the outdated visuals, but don't try to say that playing it in PC doesn't make a difference. And about the 580, doesn't worry me a bit, as I said for the time of the BF3 release the new 28 nm GPUs from Nvidia and Ati will be more powerful and cheaper.

Sorry but the day we can't use BF3 as an example of how a game can be far better on a certain system is the day SW has jumped the shark with the "zomg stop being elitist!!11 :( " tripe.

The game is simply far superior on PC, stop with the excuses.

Um, consoles can do SSAO, Uncharted 2 and Gears of War 2 are proof of this, you're mixing it up with HBAO which is only on PC for BC2.

Goodluck making tools for frostbite 2. If this is the case, why havent we seen awesome mods for bc2? :O

Dice need entite server farms just to do the destruction, you think a couple of modders can do better?

Excep they dont, or else i would have already stopped playing on consoles. Im not saying there isnt a difference, but there isnt a big enough difference for me to care. Also, scre 32 players, its a fragfest on the pc version

It will look inferior to the PC version, but probably look the best out of every multiplatform console game, so im sure console owners will be happy.

Hermits should stop trolling the consolites - you know damn well it's goona be the best shooter on the consoles by miles...you want to put them off and back on to CoD? Why, why would you want to do that you sadists?!
