EA Unveils Battlefield 4 at GDC 2013
The Battlefield franchise rolls on with number four.
Last night in San Francisco, the press and game industry professionals got to view the “Fishing in Baku” 17- minute gameplay demo on the big screen at the 2013 Game Developer’s Conference in San Francisco. The theater was packed- the only reason it wasn’t standing room only is they carefully counted how many people got in. The gameplay demo can be seen in its entirety below.
Besides being smooth and slick (and taking a few seconds to adjust to on a 28-foot movie screen) EA stresses the more interactive nature of the game. While the game is still ‘directed’, as they put it, it is designed to be less ‘on rails’ and to allow the player to choose their own route. They promise destructible environments, specifically in ways that make you able to change the route to the destination by, for instance, blowing out a wall.
While the footage we’ve been show does look good indeed, no information about the specifications for the system used to create the demo were given.
EA says Battlefield 4 will ship during EA’s fiscal year 2014, which means any time up until March 2013.

Sadly, they rid of that feature in BF3 and now it seems it'll never come back.
BF Series should have always kept that feature, because once you finish the campaign, you've got nothing else but MP. No real replayability.
look up the law of diminishing returns. at a certain point, the human eye can't tell the difference between a 100000 poly model and a 1000000 poly model. the difference, if you look, is in the particle effects, the lighting, the cloth simulation, and the animation. the textures are at least twice, if not quadruple the old resolution, and I think the entire ground is tesselated. it's a step up. it's not cryengine 3, but it's a step up.
dont forget EAs new love for microtransactions. I likely wont be geting this game until its on sale for like $10(I bought BF3 during the BF anniversary sale for $10 on origin). Aside from the prettier graphics I dont have enough interest in it as to pay full price for it. BF3s battlelog pissed me off one too many times already.

Hmm... Talk about a low-key release!
Ummm.....end of the video says Fall 2013...am I missing something here??
ps3, resistance 1 and 2.
2 had twice the polly count as 1
you had to be told that to even have a chance at seeing the difference.
this is one of the reasons why i dont want graphics to be pushed to a retarded extreme...
they develop and design for the highest end, and let a computer scale everything back, making the game look like hell if you dont have that high end hardware.
