Rino8 Posted October 30, 2013 Visiting Supporter Share Posted October 30, 2013 http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-battlefield-4-next-gen-vs-pc-face-off-preview I hope this is just because the developers are getting used to the new systems, but 'next gen' is hardly inspiring me much reading that. Especially when the XBO is supposedly just about making 720p, and with a low res. The PS4 is slightly more uplifting but even that couldn't get to 1080p I kind of wish I had the room for a PC, as soon as I move house in a couple of years I'll be building one again. This may be the last console I'll be getting on/close to release. It's a stupid test though, comparing a PC that costs around £300 more, almost double the price of a PS4/XBO. Not sure what they were hoping for writing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kwan Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 dev kits don't work properly, online doesn't work properly, cloud stuff doesn't work properly it wasnt supposed to come out until march/april couple that with the fact that the CPU and GPU are both being overclocked from day 1 and it's a dangerous mix At the end of the day, it's still Microsoft 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P3te Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 I'd expect many day one failures within 8 months. I assume the second batch will use chips running natively at the correct speed to alleviate overclocking issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kurtsimonw Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 The video on the link surprised me. Given all I've heard about the XBO one not being very good I assumed that was shown on the left of the video which didn't look as crisp and clear, yet that's the PS4 one.

Kwan Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 The gamma settings are off, hence the "crispiness" But I don't think it'll matter too much until you get to frame rate issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High end PC and compare it with obviously inferior much cheaper gaming consoles and talk about how PC is better. No shit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliffy Biro Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 What cd key sites do you all use for your games then, cheapest ive seen for bf4 so far is 25 quid which is much better than origins 45 as usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Another multiplayer game that's a horrific, broken mess at launch. I should know better by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kwan Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Kind of always been this way. I don't remember the last time a big multiplayer game hasn't been a mess at launch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No shit Well people are genuinely interested in seeing how these new consoles stack up against a high end PC and the article answers that question at this point in time. The test is fair and a lot more honest that way. Comparing the PC version by deliberately holding it back on cheaper hardware just to make the consoles look better answers nothing.

lapal_fan Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 apparently DICE have already put 4 patches up online, server side, so you don't have to download them.. More patches to come over the next few days, but apparently it's horrendous at the minute (I'm waiting for the PS4 version). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubbs Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Playing the ps3 version. Some awful textures and slow down when it gets busy but great fun. Can't wait to get my hands on the ps4 version! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted November 4, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted November 4, 2013 So tempted to buy this on PC, even though it's pre-orderd for xbone. Though, sounds like the game is a bit of a mess. I found this bug quite amusing though... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZ7ZXe6nOsE&feature=youtu.be&t=1m17s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VBM Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Well I am very much enjoying it so far. I played through the full round of rush maps yesterday and thought the map design was better than BF3. I think conquest suffers a little bit from the lack of players on current gen. Too many maps are a little bit like Firestorm or Kharg where you can just run around and cap bases. Still PS4 out next month so not long too wait Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliffy Biro Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 I played the beta and found it pretty good so is it just me or is that above video very COD'ish? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villarule123 Posted November 6, 2013 Author VT Supporter Share Posted November 6, 2013 The reviews for this on the PC and PS4 are getting me excited now, more importantly how smooth the game is. 60FPS at all times, double the amount and more stable than the 360, I can't wait! Anyone else getting it/want to team up? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villarule123 Posted November 6, 2013 Author VT Supporter Share Posted November 6, 2013 Noooooooo I actually cancelled my pre-order tonight. Would only make £30-40 profit selling it so I couldn't be arsed. Was actually a tough choice leaving Xbox, my 360 has been good to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
