How DICE Plans to Differentiate Battlefield 3 From Modern Warfare 3

4.6
The US PS Blog spoke with Battlefield 3′s executive producer, Patrick Bach, at E3 about the upcoming military shooter, and during the interview, the site included a lot of questions folks asked on Twitter.

Hit the jump to watch the video, and read highlights of Bach’s quotes pulled from it.




How the PS3 version will stack up against the PC version

“Our goal is to create a game that works equally on all platforms.The engine is designed to run smooth on the PS3 as well as the PC. So I think that the consumer will not see any big differences between the versions.”

The animation technology DICE borrowed from the FIFA franchise.

“It actually creates a lot of difference from the motion of being on the battlefield. You will see other characters in the game moving around in a really lifelike way like in FIFA, which looks really, really good. Even though we have perfect control, it still looks amazing, and the same is also the fact for Battlefield 3.”

How DICE plans to differentiate BF3 from MW3

“We are not trying to be the same game. I know that there’s a lot of things that you can compare, and it’s a FPS, it takes place in modern day, and has a military theme. But in general, we’re making a battlefield game. We’ve always been making battlefield games since the first game, Battlefield 1942 back in 2002. We know what the formula is, so this is going to be the best Battlefield game we’ve ever built. So, I think it’s more up to what the consumer wants: if they want a deep military experience when it comes to infantry and vehicles; if they want destruction and they want the all-out 64 or 24-player war, then this is the game for you.”

Battlefield 3 launches on October 25 in the US and October 28 in the UK.

LOL. I know already like 20 people that won't get MW3 because of how MW2 and Black Ops was, everybody I know, is getting Battlefield 3. You need to learn how to spell too. ;)

i dont think so cod will allways rise above bf

Prefire 64 players? Holly crap.. Hopefully its not crappy llike MAG from the ps3..


Seeing as thats a default amount of players for PC and almost always works.

Id say they are all good.

As for the FPS on console and PC, I would be worried about the DX11 and DX8-9 on 360 And PS3 Difference that will be the most noticeable not the FPS difference.

- BF3 "Made for PC" -

I'll get BF3 because I have a super dooper gaming PC. I could get it for Xbox but then I'd be throwing money at a fire because we all know BF3 will suck on console and PC will be the only way to play it without wondering why a wall looks like a piece of cardboard in-game.

i_JaMes_z Cant wait for BF3 , one thing, the 30 FPS [On console] might be a tad of a let down compared to the steady 60 on the PC and rivaling to CoD's constant 60. Hopefully it wont put the console players like myself at a handicap when experiencing the game and what DICE have to offer.


I'm almost possitive that the other battlefield games on the console were aslo 30fps

64 = PC

24 = Xbox/PS3

Had to cap it for gameplay issues.
