I watch a number of BF Youtube channels, and all of those guys are crapping themselves over how fantastic the game looks, and they play far more BF3 than most any of us. I don't know the details of the problems some have had (there are new drivers specifically for the game for some graphics cards, etc.), but there are absolutely a ton of people out there who have had phenomenal results with the game graphically.I hear it runs poorly and doesn't look as good as BF3 even on rigs better than mine.
Play domination mode.I don't think its very good on 360. It could just be because its Conquest with 24 players. The map is desolate and lonely, no intensity at all.
Is it just me, or did the Crysis 3-like motion in the original E3 debut get toned down to Battlefield 3 level? I have every setting at max and it still looks like the motion blur plainly got downgraded. And there are a lot of poor textures everywhere. I figured with this being a next gen console release as well that textures would finally be decent all around.
To sum up in DF's own words:
"Even if Microsoft's CPU and fixed function silicon doesn't provide the frame-rate boost that the firm says it does, downscaling can ensure a feature complete port. Here's Crysis 3 running at various sub-HD resolutions with a 30 per cent compute penalty compared to a native 1080p presentation."
So the bottom line is the difference in power this generation is around 30%, i.e. 1080P games on PS4, downscaled 900P games on Xbox One. Doubt we will notice any real difference on our televisions unless you sit up close.
The reality is unless your gaming on a computer monitor/ or display sitting less than 3 ft away, the visual difference will be minimal to non-existent as the system will probably scale the resolution any way unless it's native 1080p. I'm also expecting as the XB-1 Tech matures we will see more 1080p Native games hitting market. Personally I'm more excited around the the XB-1 SCALE Chip and the sound it's gonna produce. Visual difference is great, the jump from DD/DTS 5.1 to DD TrueHD/DTS-MA is huge. If you don't believe me watch a DVD of less say "Looper" in DD & listen to the audio. Then watch it again in Blu Ray and listen to the Audio DTS-MA Mix
The Difference is "Night & Day"
