DICE: Don’t worry about Battlefield 3 on console

4.5
Battlefield 3 executive producer Patrick Bach has told VG247 that, while the shooter’s PC version is graphically “better” than its console siblings, gamers should stop worrying about the console editions. Bach was responding to a question about whether or not the 360 version will be playable at the upcoming Eurogamer Expo.

While Bach wasn’t sure which version would be shown, he stressed that there’s nothing to fret about in terms of the TV SKUs.

“We are showing more and more console, and the reason for that is that we want to show people that there is a console version,” he said.

“We have shown it on several occasions and people seem to be happy with it. Of course, the super-high-end PC version is better when considering the detail of the visuals, which is kind of what we were striving for: adding that height to the high-end PC.

“We want to show off the console version, and people shouldn’t be too worried about it. We are shipping it on console.”

We were given hands-on time with the PS3 version in Sweden today, playing the co-op mission shown at gamescom earlier this month.

Bach added that the game’s beta will happen “soon,” and will definitely take place “before the game ships,” with a fellow DICE staffer pointing out it has previously been announced for September.

Eurogamer Expo takes place in London on September 22-25, and Battlefield 3 is expected to be the most prominent game of the entire event.

Battlefield 3 is due on PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in late October.

Do you see me going on CoD news topics and saying there game is going to be crap?

No.


Who cares, but we are telling you the truth. BF3 sucks......


and you would know this how?

Because i doubt you have played the game.


By the game previews, and the cover of the games. Looks like another fail BF2 :P


Game previews? E3 gave it best in show.

Robert Bowling (I think that's his name) loves it,all the shows it has been at with MW3,it has come out with more awards.

The press are saying BF3 is better,in the end,I'm getting both,so I don't care 8)
That's because the world is yet to see MW3 MP.


Your only gonna get 2 days of it lololol

CoD XP is the only time it is being shown until release.

Battlefield 3 is having a public beta 2 months before it releases.
Your an idoit, there going to the UK for 3 days 2 weeks after just so people can play MP.

You sir are an ignorant console ****. I played the Battlfield 3 ALPHA trail and I can tell you, even the alpha is much better than black ops/mw2 and Team Fortress 2 is the #1 Online Game in the world. But you wouldnt know that cause you play console.


Actually Counter Strike 1.6 and Counter Strike: Source are the number 1# online games you ignorant fellow pc player :P


Counter strike and TF2 Are both good games >_>
I played it to at gamescon, it BFBC2 was waaaay better.

I don't see the problem, I thought BC2 was rather smooth on console edition when i play BC2, I have no problems. It's fun, realistic and smooth for a console version? what more could you ask for? especially with the new graphics. PCs obviously have much more enhancements but graphics are still awesome on consoles. Stop complaing about FPS. It doesn't matter.
