Battlefield 4 [PC, PS3, 360, PS4 & Xbox 1]

Didn't realise that, won't a CoD game always win in things like that? Not that I'm really bothered, they always seemed to be very different games to me with their own strengths.

They've added the box art for Xbox 1 & PS4 on the preorder site now, no idea if the branding is official or not though.

Bless them, BF does very well but yep, CoD will kick its ass sales wise. Personally I'm expecting both to take a sales tumble this time. With new hardware out peoes cahs is going to be spread over alot of systems and games choices. CoDs peak looks to have passed sales wise as well and I expect without the hype machine driving BF that will carry over a little to the new game. Doesn't help that the branding of BF4 makes it look like a map pack at a glance.

Knife and grenade customization[23]
Variable zoom sights(14x)[53]
Battlepacks[20]
A redone squad spec system
Something which looks like limited ammo for the MBT.[17]
Looks like vehicle gadgets and weapons only need to be unlocked once, or the name for the vehicle could be missing in the alpha.[36]
HUD customization[47]
Two sights on the same weapon?[53,58]
The map is called Siege and takes place in Shanghai
Possibly an working elevator*

The story of this games life, I've read that the skyscraper collapse in the mp e3 footage isn't scripted. The building has support pillars that once taken out trigger the collapse. Just another item that highlights how for consoles BF4 is one of the games that's going to feel like its truly different thanks to the extra power of the new machines. As usual, PC players being exempt from this

Info from AMD on the PCs that they used to run the game at the Xbox show, prices will drop but at the moment you need a $4000 PC to get the game looking as good as this.


It'll be interesting to see how the two next-gen console versions compare, I'm guessing PC will be the lead due to the PC like nature of the consoles and they'll simplify different aspects of the console games.

I wonder if there will be much of a difference between the two console versions working this way from the top down? Maybe more than if they'd developed the game from the Xbox 1 version up?
