So this game isn't pretty on the Xbox One. It's actually kind of hard to see people sometimes.

Spoiler

EA force Visceral Games to make this game... and it shows.

 

[BMX Bandit]

For my tastes:
Operator: ACWR
Mechanic: P90
Enforcer: Stakeout/Scar H
Professional: SOCOM 16

Thanks. Gonna pick this up tonight I think. I'll give them a shot!

K10 for mechanic is a beast.

 

[Erasus]

Dang....
Not a looker huh? Whats the best looking Frostbite Engine game out there?
I think that prev-Gen is holding them back... graphics wise it looks worse than BF4 :0

I doubt it. 2 separate teams

Plus if it was prev gen then why is the PC version looking so much better?

So this game isn't pretty on the Xbox One. It's actually kind of hard to see people sometimes.

Bad Company 1 screenshot, either PS3 or 360 version, dunno witch

And BC1 and 2 has way better destruction...

Granted Hardline probably has better effects, particles, animations etc but still

The ACWR is my favorite so far. It has almost no recoil.

Yup.
And I love how it looks with rattlesnake camo.

 

[legacyzero]

So there's good news for netcode? That's cool. The beta still had too much rubber-banding for my tastes, though, so I hope they worked that out.

 

[Z3M0G]

Here's some comparison shots between PC and PS4 for those who are interested.

First time I ever found myself interested in playing the game... just for the story though.

 

[Dubz]

PS4 here. Graphical issues aside, this game is really great on MP. Hit detection is spot on, and it's the first BF in a long time that hasn't shipped with broken netcode, only to be patched later.

 

[here4payne]

Anybody who purchased the $30 code from eBay get the code yet? I am starting to worry the seller may not be legit. I know I'll be covered by eBay if he isn't, but kind of sucks because I could have had the game installed and been playing by now.

He said he's sending them out at 9am CST.

edit: he also has over 400 codes to message out.

 

[dskillzhtown]

I'm enjoying myself so much I just bucked my trend of never buying a Season Pass (at launch) and bought Premium.

Don't let me down Visceral! DICE did a damn fine job with their's!

I'm enjoying the game on XB1, but will hold off on the Premium until it is time for an expansion to come out.

Yep, it's terrible. As other posters have pointed out it looks worse than Bad Company 1/2, BF3 and BF4... easily. Of course it has 60fps which is appreciated and more stable than BF4's "60fps" but it has come at the price of one ugly ass game.

I fear for Battlefront... but I trust DICE (I know) more so than Visceral in the visuals department.

Does the game look as bad on the PS4 as well?

 

[Afro]

sold out, sorry.

 

[old manatee]

I don't know why I even bought this game after playing Dead Space 3. Visceral is such trash now.

 

[RoKKeR]

Other than a resolution bump (720->900) I can't imagine it's much of an improvement, though I haven't played myself to confirm. Wait for Digital Foundry I guess.

Well shit

 

[pieface]

What is the logic between having different release dates between NA and EU?

 

[dskillzhtown]

I assume it is to lessen the hit on multiplayer servers by doing a release in waves. Probably an experiment to see if it works. Just a guess.

Hotwire earns you the most money by a long shot. Probably will be patched, but for now if you want to get money fast, play Hotwire.

Got my code and it activated on Origin just fine, preloading at the minute I won't be able to play multi until friday (being in the UK) but hopefully I can VPN it to get to play the single player.

It will balance out when people start unlocking the 1 hit kill rockets and C4/Mines.

Thanks for the update, still waiting on mine, but if he/she indeed does have 400 or so to send, it will obviously take a while.

Aye I wouldn't worry, you'll get a message/email with a picture of your code. You'll be fine, I also bought mine from them quite early so if they're sending in order it could be a while.

 

[SparkleMotion]

Still waiting on mine, too.

 

[friday]

Is the netcode for this and the recently patched BF4 not the same?

 

[bug_42]

Does the game have more maps then the beta had? I have seen no new multiplayer maps.

 

[legacyzero]

I believe there's 9 maps in total.

Jesus.

 

[xclaw]

Watching some PS4 streams, given that yes they are streams the IQ is noticeably worse than BF4. Still probably getting the game after work but really not feeling the 70$ investment yet.

 

[KnightHart]

This is what he emailed me when I asked what time we will get the codes. It sucks that we can't play exactly at midnight, but it was $30.

Spoiler

I really want to play right now after watching all these Twitch streams though, not gonna lie

Yeah looks like I'm gonna be waiting for a while since I bought a key really late. Ah whatever. I'll play Type 0 until then.

 

[HIGH DEF JEFF]

Fuck me. Got talked into buying it.
Im not leaving my house so I buy it digitally on the PS4.
Downloads about 7 gigs, lets you play the prologue.
You have to leave the game RUNNING to finish the download. Fuck this shit.

 

[EASTC0AST_GH05T]

Is the netcode for this and the recently patched BF4 not the same?

They now feel pretty damn close if not the exact same. BF4's hit detection after the latest patch was like a breath of fresh air. One thing I have noticed is they bumped up the movement speed on BF4 and Hardline lowered the movement speed that was in beta and alpha.

 

[legacyzero]

Did you just spawn in, and the game had just not gotten around to loading all the assets/LOD yet?

I can understand the blur, but holy shit, it cant look THAT bad, can it?

its not pretty at all to look at and nothing in multiplayers visuals scream current gen but its fun as hell. It looks like shit on all platforms just more of a polished turd on some platforms more then others.

That's how it's always been...you don't have to leave the game running though. You can play other stuff while it downloads in the background. Press options over the game on the dashboard and choose information to see the download progress.

 

[Dubz]

Rescue mode is really fun.

 

[Shady859]

Installing PS4 as I type this. My Best Buy was actually pretty busy this morning for this and Final Fantasy.

$48 for game and $10 gift card FTW

 

[PoweredBySoy]

Rescue mode is really fun.

As an old CS diehard, I'm really looking forward to that mode.

 

[petethepanda]

Spoiler

It's not the best looking game ever but this is kind of a "Assassin's Creed 3 hill screenshot" situation, there are certainly ugly areas to find but the whole thing doesn't look that awful.

 

[Afro]

was this shot taken with a limited RGB color range?

The beta had 2 maps. What do you think?

Yes you do. When you close the game the download stops. I assumed it was the normal way and quit the game..came back 30 minutes later, launch the game and there was no progress.

Its not a typical PS4 download where it installs part if the game then in the system level it manages the rest of the download.

PLUS, the episodes download in one chunk. The progress for all of them is the same. Download the 2 minute prologue and wait around. So dumb.

It is a standard PS4 download. Go Option> Information to see the download progress in the UI/dashboard.

This is what it's like for every PS4 game.

Example image for NBA 2K15, see where it says 40/47Gb? Check that for your download.

 

[ToraShiro]

Whoop! Whoop! It's the sound of da release!

May not be able to wait until after work to pick this up, may get it at lunch.

To those lamenting the visual fidelity of the PS4 version, I'd say it more than makes up for it for running 60fps (at least during the beta).

EDIT

nevermind I know now
