To say that the Nintendo Wii-U has been taking quite a beating since its release would be a massive understatement, the company has done every possible measure to help boost the sales of the console but all of their attempts ultimately end up in vain. To help add fuel to this inferno, there doesn’t seem to be any optimism from EA regarding their next-gen titles such as Battlefield 4 making its way to the console.
EA showcased a 17 minute demonstration trailer of DICE’s next generation Battlefield 4 FPS which was powered by their latest Frostbite 3 technology. As we all noted, Battlefield 4 went off to show some very amazing visuals in the single player section that was showcased and the same is expected from the multiplayer section.
Although earlier rumors said that DICE would show off their game running on next gen console parts but in return, Legitreviews have got the conformation that Battlefield 4 was demonstrated on its lead platform AKA PC. But what was powering the PC that ran Battlefield 4? The solution was AMD’s world fastest Radeon HD 7990 GPU that was also previewed by AMD at GDC 2013 earlier yesterday. EA had announced AMD as their hardware partner and has further strengthened AMD’s Gaming evolved initiative. Here’s the press report from AMD:
AMD and EA DICE are proud partners in gaming, with a recent history that includes the award-winning Battlefield 3 in 2011. That relationship continues today with the world’s first public demonstration of Battlefield 4, powered by the AMD Radeon HD 7990—the world’s fastest graphics card! Today’s unveiling not only demonstrates the commitment EA DICE makes to state-of-the-art PC graphics, it stands as further proof that the critically-acclaimed Graphics Core Next architecture in the AMD Radeon HD 7000 Series is the best choice for truly advanced PC games.

DICE has officially announced and revealed the gameplay trailer of their upcoming Next Generation Battlefield 4 FPS which would be released in Fall 2013.

We are just a couple of hours away from the Battlefield 4 launch reveal and the gameplay details along with first in-game screenshots have already started to hit various web portals.
From the images, it can be seen that DICE is aiming to increase the fiedility of the game, it looks alot like Battlefield 3 but the graphical power of the Frostbite 2 engine has been updated by such a leap that it feels like a new game. The whole atmosphere in that first screenshot and the landscape is an amazing thing to look at plus its all in-game rendered with the power of Frostbite 3. Definitely some thing to look forward
You might remember that we detailed in our previous report that Battlefield 4 would be getting an updated rather a complete new Frostbite engine known to be as Frostbite 2.5, well according to BF4Central most of our details that mentioned such as a new Destruction engine, better lightning and increased tessellation effects were true however DICE seemed to have changed the codename for the new engine and it is now referred to as Frostbite 3. From our previous article:
In addition to the Prepare 4 Battle: Sea teaser, EA has also unveiled the Land teaser for their upcoming next generation Battlefield 4. The Prepare 4 Battle: Land teaser trailer for battlefield shows a tank gearing up for battle and moving forward, you can view the teaser clip below:
With all these teaser being posted by EA, could it be a possibility that the next clip could be based on air combat of the game?. That is yet to be seen so we will keep on updating if any new teaser clip pops up!
EA recently released a teaser video of DICE’s upcoming Battlefield 4 FPS which would officially unveil on 27th March. A second teaser video has just been posted by EA which shows what is believed to be the return of naval warfare.
Battlefield 4′s official webpage or as you may call it “Teaser Site” has gone live a day after we reported tons of details about the game itself. Not only the site itself but the sub-forum for Battlefield 4 has also gone live on EA’s Battlelog forum page.
The Battlefield 4 official site shows an interactive image covered in fog which can be cleared by moving the mouse over it. This could be a demonstration of the dynamic weather system effects which would be included in DICE’s updated Frostbite engine as detailed yesterday. You have to login the site with your Origin id to view the complete artwork which is the same as the cover image been floating the web since a few days except that the solider/protagonist is missing from the screenshot.
If you own Battlefield 3 and you have logged in the Battlefield 4 teaser site, you would get a notification that from EA that you’ve received a new “I Was There” dog tag for free which can be used in Battlefield 3. Along with the site itself, DICE has also powered up the Battlefield 4 sub-forums on EA’s Battlelog which can be seen here. General discussions about the game have already started while the official announcements page is currently barren but would most possibly filled with news and details after the official Battlefield 4 reveal on 27th March 2013 at GDC 2013.
Many new details of DICE’s upcoming next-generation Battlefield 4 FPS have been leaked by Chiphell forums. According to the leaker, the details would be mentioned in the April issue of the Edge magazine while the game itself would be announced at GDC 2013 during 26th – 27th March. A teaser sneak peak along with cover image of Battlefield 4 have already been released which you can view here.
In our previous article, we mentioned how the next generation Battlefield 4 would utilize 80% of the Frostbite engine’s power compared to 30% utilization in Battlefield 3. The new Frostbite 2.5 engine would feature much more enhanced visuals with PC being the lead platform for the game. According to the details, Battlefield 4 would maintain a steady 60 FPS on 720P resolution on both next generation consoles which include the PS4 and Xbox 720 which is a slight bit of a disappointment since earlier rumors suggested 1080P/60 FPS target for the next-gen consoles. However, the next generation consoles including the PC would get 64 players while the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 would stick to the default 24 player setup which is currently seen on Battlefield 4.
Frostbite 2.5 would be a complete overhaul of the current Frostbite 2.0 engine with DirectX 11 compatibility only on PC. Furthermore, the game would feature Dynamic weather effects such as rain, sandstorms, fog, haze and would be totally random. Each map would get these dynamic weather effects and would change depending on the variable conditions. As you may have noted, the cover image shows a glimpse of these weather effects such as rain. Battlefield 4 would also bring back the much renowned and upgraded Destruction 4.0 system to the game which would offer destructible environments and buildings which we saw back in Bad Company 2. PC versions would benefit from compute power which would render these dynamic destructible effects much more realistically. Furthermore, all of the environment including water, terrain and characters/NPC would make use of the new tessellation technology implemented inside Frostbite 2.5.
EA has unveiled that they would be unveiling the next generation of their FPS franchise developed by studio DICE “Battlefield 4″ on March 26th.
As you may note, the footage shows a tank gearing up and moving forward. It also shows a reveal on 27th March.
