Holy shite! Too much gray and blue but still looks awesome

NOTE: this is not official, probably fan made. Just wanted to share

Looks a lot better then Battlefield 3 on PC. Would be great if it does look like that.

**Ghost-Rhayne** · 03-12-2013

My jaw literally dropped lol That looks fucking badass in my eyes.

**Sub-stance1** · 03-12-2013

Not next gen Battlefield. Those are from a Battlefield 3 cinematic trailer.

I know. I said in the OP that they offer a glimpse of next gen graphics for the franchise

**-Kwesnoth-** · 03-12-2013

My eyes are awestruck, this looks like quality good enough to be its own movie.

**Two4DaMoney** · 03-12-2013

I'm not holding out much hope. Not while they are cross-gen developing titles.

**Updator** · 03-12-2013

Those look incredible. I'm not going to hold my breath for this to be what battlefield 4 looks like though.

**itachi73378** · 03-12-2013

I'm sure GDC will show us what dice is up to in terms of frostbite

**Flaw3d Genius** · 03-12-2013

Looks good but it's not actually Battlefield 4???

That doesn't offer a glimpse... it's a cinematic trailer. Those have never been accurate as a glimpse for anything.

Not trying to rain on your parade, but let's not get carried away.

I do expect amazing things, though.

lol Bummer.

**Bigdoggy** · 03-12-2013

those are obvious cutscene quality, that wont be actual gameplay. So many people on the battlelog forums want more than 24 players, if you have graphics of that quality with destruction, vehicles, you wont have any room and the game will again be stuck at 24 players. People including me hate the 24 player factor and if the PS4 is anything to come buy EA/DICE need to step it up and stop trolling gamers that want a better battlefield experience.

Can someone please for the love of god tell them that even a middle eastern warzone isn't totally devoid of color.

**coolguy** · 03-12-2013

next gen might come close to these cinematic trailers but we will have to waite and see

Why can't the next-gen Battlefield do that?

This is another game, and this IS gameplay. And it supports a whole lot more than just 24 players.

Arma looks like crap imo...just saying

The animations suck, the lighting feels outdated and it just doesn't compete with the likes of crysis/BF3 in terms of post processing effects etc

Yes it does. Those visuals are highly do-able on next gen. It may not be the early wave of games but certainly achievable in 4 - 5 years. The model polys are high and it gives the illusion of cg level detail, but the environment is pretty close to what next gen demos have shown.

I would bet this screenshot has more environment detail than that 'cinematic trailer' because its significantly larger

**Serinous** · 03-12-2013

I wish it was real.

Who want sto play a war game that looks like a cartoon? Not me!

**Cyn** · 03-12-2013

Graphically my wish for BF4 is no more blue tint. Or any other colour tint!

You're telling me this is better?

Yes, I've played Battlefield 3 and it looks awful. Most of the time you can't see anything. Such an overrated engine. At least ARMA 3's visuals are clean.

You can't see anything because of over use of glares and certain lighting. That is a design choice (for good or for worse). Arma just doesn't seem on par let alone better to me. The textures are so pixelated in that game (especially the ground ones). Serious need of better AF.

On the plus side the scale of arma is MUCH larger than the corridor shooters that saturate the market so I guess it balances out. In the end I agree with completely average that the next BF should be able to manage large player counts with good visuals. Every single one of us would have thought this was cg in 2005

**daLa** · 03-13-2013

This thread was slightly misleading, I thought the BF4 screens had been leaked but it's ok we'll get them in a couple days (March 14th, 2013).

**DarkVincent07** · 03-13-2013

I agree 100000% with Blacksite.

BF3, in every level, is ugly ugly ugly

**GreatSpaceKoaster** · 03-13-2013

Cutscenes when using the game engine always look better cuz they only have to render the parts the camera needs to see. They can bump up the polys and have more processing power for lighting. It's a small, very controlled setting.
