I enjoyed Battlefield 4’s PS4 multiplayer, and shrug when people say “yeah, but the graphics suck”

Gaetano Prestia of MMGN: Never did I think that in in 2013 I’d still be subjected to the “graphics vs gameplay” debate of yesteryear. I was dragged in, chewed up, and left to feel like someone that lacked the eye to be previewing early game code. I enjoyed Battlefield 4, but it seems I missed the memo: apparently it looks terrible on PlayStation 4.

People are too quick to judge, they aren't even done optimizing yet.

swishersweets200313918d ago

plus they are trying to compare the visuals of the show floor version, running in 4k resolution.. to a early build of the next gen consoles. If they expected it to look the same they better get help.

Kurylo3d3918d ago

resolution aint the problem.

hqgamez3918d ago

ppl judge way too early. its shocking when they expect a console to meet a high max pc 4k.
what they gonna say about the xbox one as well.
better yet, 360 & ps3 how bad is that?
hype ppl.

thechosenone3917d ago

Holie from Playstation Acess confirmed that PS4 demo at GC was running at 1080p/60fps @3:19

I don't understand this mentality that if it doesn't look as good as the PC version it must look bad.

It can look amazing and still not look as good as it does on PC.

We don't buy consoles because we expect the best graphics and performance, we buy console for their exclusives, their ease of use and other features.

Battlfield 4 will look amazing on PS4 compared to what we are used to on PS3, and that is what is important.

reef10173918d ago

I agree no game for the consoles will ever look as good as its PC counterpart running on ultra settings. Come on people!

swishersweets200313918d ago

exactly. It will look good on x1 or ps4. This garbage started when some jack frags was spouting his tweets as confirmed info but everything he claimed as "confirmed" was debunked on the live stream. Then IGN fallowed suit with their own garbage article.
Plus people should take into account the PC version with comparison to the average person i know, doesnt own a 1K$+ gaming computer.. so even they themselves will be disappointed because very simply.. what they are showing is on a very maxed out super gaming rig will not be the same looking game on a average joe persons gaming PC. After reading this article the author points out people were distracted by tree leaves? That right there shows you they went in it just to be negative and nick pick everything. If you play BF games and spend your time focusing on tree leaves.. their credibility of being game journalist should be shunned.

@ swishersweets20031

Very good comment, i especially love your last statement about the game journalists. People are being bamboozled by these game journalists who have ulterior motives in trying to get views and subscribers.

When someone can say that they are being distracted by the tree leaves in a game it speaks volumes about their credibility and you have to question what their real motive is.

These journalist are like politicians, playing on peoples likes and emotions in order to garner support, it's ridiculous. We have a lot to look forward to in the nextgen consoles and it's to early to be criticizing graphics and game play at this stage.

If early releases are the standard to judge games on then we would never have had games like Uncharted 3 or Last of Us. People need to relax and just enjoy the next 10 years because once the devs start utilizing the true potential of these systems we will be blown away.

Gster3918d ago

This report goes back to last Feb, when EA's CFO said he had seen BF4 running on next gen PS4 and it looked stunning. So you can imagine if it looked that good back then what its going to look like when its finished. http://www.videogamer.com/p...

Starbucks_Fan3918d ago

It's a freakin demo. People need to calm down.

GarrusVakarian3918d ago (Edited 3918d ago )

Yep. Also, this is EA we are talking about, you can bet your bottom dollar they are pushing DICE hard to release this game for a certain time frame. They haven't had the same amount of time that some devs have had to make the game look the best it can. Plus, its cross gen, lets wait until the next Battlefield game, so DICE can fully concentrate on the next gen systems.

sweendog3917d ago

Completely agree with you. I have downloaded demos 3 weeks before release and been dissapointed only to be blown away with the finished product. Any one who remembers getting free demo disks with the official playstation magazine can relate

HammadTheBeast3918d ago

It's already known that it runs above 720 p on PS4, so it should be interesting.

M-M3918d ago

721p.

I kid, I really hope they can nail 1080p and 60FPS in time for launch.

3918d ago
EXVirtual3918d ago (Edited 3918d ago )

I think that it'll run 1080p 30fps in SP and 1080p 60FPS in MP. Maybe it'll be 1080p 30fps for both modes though, especially because MP is 64 player. Anyway, it's a demo, so don't worry about it.

HammadTheBeast3918d ago

Couldn't find direct link cause I'm on a tablet, but here's the gist of it.

Irishguy953918d ago

Oh well. Hope ut plats well. Finaly the full bf experience on console

Pintheshadows3918d ago

Who remembers the BF3 beta?

That is all i'm saying. It looked waaaay better in the end.

KwietStorm_BLM3918d ago

Everyone is conveniently forgetting the high res textures were loaded with the final version on disc too.

Battlefield 1, Hardline, BF4 Servers Are Being Taken Offline by Cheaters; EA Silent on Issue

Cheaters & hackers have been causing grief on Battlefield 1, Hardline & BF4 servers, with nonstop DDoS attacks among other things. Unfortunately, EA has remained silent about it.

-Foxtrot781d ago

Course they are silent, they are hoping people flock to 2042

gamesftw250780d ago

Maybe it was a inside job then haha.

jeromeface779d ago

wouldnt be the first time, titanfall 1+2 anyone?

PapaBop780d ago

Not even if they paid me.. EA always do this with old games with less money potential, if this was Ultimate Team, they'd address and sort it faster than stories could spread. Why invest time in their products when they will just dump it in the following years? Then again EA never could see the forest for the trees.

Inverno780d ago

I imagine after those games were given out for free a couple months back through Amazon, anything that makes people go to 2042 is a plus for them

XiNatsuDragnel781d ago

They want people to go on 2042. My theory

excaliburps780d ago

Nah. I think they can't do anything about it or they want to sink money into fixing it.

Pudge102888780d ago (Edited 780d ago )

EA owns all BF servers so yes, they can do something about it but they refuse to because they dont want ppl playing their old games instead of the new one. Its EA we’re talking about here

pr33k33780d ago

if this happened in 2042, they'd have something to say. which is weird, considering battlefield 1 has more players on steam right now.

Pudge102888780d ago

Its so obvious that EA is doing this or hired ppl to mess up the games so that we’d be forced to have just 1 Battlefield working.

FPS_D3TH780d ago

Honestly it’s probably the devs themselves. They did an update to bf4 way back that kinda made assault rifles doo doo in hopes that people would flock to BF1 cuz BF4 was too perfect

There's a bunch of great shooters on gamepass; both legacy and new.

A recommendation I have is a work in progress preview title called Anacrusis. It's a lot of fun, and has a cool aesthetic.
