DICE: Battlefield 3 will still look good on consoles

Although the console version of  Battlefield 3 will have a much lower framerate and resolution than its PC counter part, it "doesn't look worse than any other game out there" says DICE.

Speaking in an interview published today by Videogamer, DICE executive producer Patrick Bach said that what they have been showing so far are the PC version of the game. So what about the console owners? How will the two versions differ?

"What we're showing on PC might look better than on console," said Bach, "but what we'll show on console doesn't look worse than any other game out there. It's probably even better than every other game out there on console. Most people will be very positive because they might be afraid that it won't look as good as other games and it will, and some people will of course be disappointed that it doesn't look like the PC version."

So what will the console version lack? Well according to Bach: "The higher resolution, the higher framerate, the anti-aliasing, the motion blur, stuff like that. We can't have it to the same quality on the console. The problem if you're setting a new bar is you're pushing yourself up," he continued. "Of course there's a challenge by showing something that looks amazing on PC and then something that just looks great on console. I think the challenge is to beat ourselves. Of course, it's hard to do that because of the practical limitations of the consoles."

Battlefield 3 is slated for release on the PS3, Xbox 360 and PC in November.

That sucks, but is not surprising. Anti-aliasing and motion blur are the two most important things in my opinion. And higher resolution and frame rates are also very important for overall smoothness. Will be getting it for PS3.

>Implying they actually took the time to develop it properly on the ps3, and isn't just a half-assed port, that doesnt do it justice, like most multiplatform ps3 games.

Like Hell am i paying the cost of a Ps3 just for a graphics card to play games like this and paying the same every year to keep updated. As long as it runs smooth and doesn't look like crap i'm more than happy, i mean the last time my jaw dropped when i saw graphics was Snes Starfox and i still play that game now, and that's not some FPS i probably won't touch again in 3 years because the next slightly improved game came along.

NOT gonna be the same. I know they talking about graphics but who the fuck cares. The biggest problem is that they may have been too lazy to put 64 players instead of just 28 due to the hardware limitations that they claim of console. If Mag was able to handle like 256 players the Hardware limitations dont actually exist on the Ps3 and maybe the xbox is just weighing those with ps3 down do to ITS hardware limitations.

Yea im 80% sure x360 is weighing us down. I've got proof because to install uncharted 2 on x360 if it was on it, it would need 4 cd's just for installation, and ps3 can do 256players in 1 game, let alone 64.
