I've Seen Battlefield 3 On PS3. It's Spectacular.

The last time I saw Kevin O'Leary he had a beard. A tier-one beard. These day's he's wrangling press for Battlefield 3.

Later I went back and played through a multiplayer level of the game on a computer, just to refresh my memory. Initially there isn't a lot of difference to notice.

Things look very similar, but then I start to notice some subtle differences. The lighting is the biggest difference. In the Playstation 3 version the shadows cast across the opening sequence are sharper, there's less subtlety in the way the light is diffused.

When my teammates fire, their barrels don't spew out smoke that quickly dissipates. In the PC version the entire parking lot seems to be clouded with debris, smoke and dust, in the PS3 version the same scene seems clearer, cleaner.

But these are the sort of differences you'd only notice if you were looking for them. At first blush, the Playstation 3 version of Battlefield 3 is every bit as impressive as the computer version.

PS3 scene seems clearer, cleaner? Lack of detail and cruddy resolution now means it's better! Are they really trying to suggest that the PS3 version can stand with the PC version? :|

I'm done with the hate tonight :P

It can't look clearer, cleaner in a much lower resolution with no AA. That's just ridiculous.

I like how everyone either says it looks awful or it looks amazing. How about what it will actually be, a decent looking game that, like with almost any other game, happens to look/run better on the PC.UCF_Knight

Awful by PC standards, amazing by console standards.

We really need some direct footage from the real game. No beta testing or anything. Real footage from the real game.

Awful? As in it'll be almost unrecognizable and you'll have to tell your kids to look away?UCF_Knight

Exactly. It's going to murder your children's vision and destroy their souls if they dare to look upon such horror.

sonds more like he's referencing the lesser amount of particle effects on screen considering he says it looks dusty and debris filled on PC where as on the PS3 it looks cleaner.Sounds more or less like theres little to no particle effects.

Sounds like the PC version has a more gritty feel due to the particle effects and all. No reason to get defensive in this case guys. Clean and clear here likely mean the actual lack of dust and smoke represented on the battlefield, not resolution and fidelity of graphicss.

Sounds amazing. I couldn't see anything in Killzone 3 because of all the crap on screen and Resistance 3 looks the same. I want to see what I'm shooting at , thank you. I bet it's the blu-ray cell makiing the graphics clearer. PS3 version for the win.

There is no way a ps3 version will be better than the pc

The power of the cell blurs and blooms the hell out of those games. Can't even see properly in Killzone 2/3 with all the blur and bloom flying around and covering everything.

Consolites, defying the laws of physics since System Wars exists :P

People seem to be unable to understand what he means. The PS3 looks 'cleaner' because it's missing effects like smoke and subtle lighting. In other words, it's worse.

Notice the keyword clearer? That mean you won't see smoke and dust in PS3 version.

Nah, just kidding. It'll look spectacular ;)

It's a lie, PS3 version is 3 gens behind PC version :lol:

OR just remove those smoke effects that clearly make the game less "detailed"

Eh, guess they feel the need to try and pump those fans up and hope they bite on the game - I'm guessing the 360 version will be 2nd best right behind PC as usual. :P

Thats debatable :P we've not really seen all that much footy of the console versions at all.

Unless you have $250-500 PC then ps3 version is better

Then: :lol:

And stuff like is why I stopped reading Kotaku a while back.

It doesn't matter how it looks. Even if it looked just as good as the PC version, there'd still be a ton of people saying that it doesn't. It's pretty obvious that it won't look as good, however I believe that the differences will be overexagerrated.

Actually clearer and cleaner aren't necessarily an improvement. BF3 is going for natural light with soft shadows and more SSAO. The days of hard shadows are gone. It's definitely a downgrade from the PC version but it is worth noting how good it looks.

DICE has said time and time again by pushing the PC version they have been able to squeeze far more into the consoles than they ever thought possible. It apparently is showing.

I am sure it will be fine on the PS3 and I look forward to playing it. That said, my hype is kind of drying up for this game because I am finding it increasingly difficult to get super excited for yet another modern military shooter. I am much more excited for Rage and Resistance 3, as far as shooters go.

Spectacular or not i wont waste my money on such a game that i know i wont spend over 3 hours playing it, the real addicting multiplayer shooter game coming November 8th 8)

I guess im interested to see what BF3 fans say :P, and ashamed? :o? why would anyone be ashamed in playing THE king of FPS? 8).. yea its maybe a copy and paste from MW2 lol ( and is why i keep saying MW3 deserve only a 7/10 or below ) but gameplay and enjoyment above graphics

i will say this

at least your secure in what you want, i know people saying they will skip mw3 but will be the first one in line at midnight

most likely due to my friends and the bro gamers.....i will be getting it....

ironcreed

You're more excited for Resistance 3 than BF3? I am not sure if I can take you seriously.

im sure BF3 does look good on PS3. Most games do..

CoD is not the king of FPS and never has been. Besides I played MW3 when it came out in 2007.

Hell, BF1942 which came out in 2002 ****s all over any CoD game.

The above statements are facts. Whether you cannot see this things for yourself is not my problem.
