So if it takes 2-3 weeks we'll have it about a month before release. Not bad would have liked more time but at least it's almost here.

Re: Battlefield 3

I'm still holding my belief that it'll be released on the 27th.

Re: Battlefield 3

This is the best year for gaming in ages.

Battlefield 3, Forza 4, Modern Warfare 3... and. I guess Gears of War 3, but I'm not a fan of that series much at all.

Good stuff!

You forgot Uncharted 3, Skyrim and (probably) Diablo 3.

Also, friendly advice - we don't allow pics in sigs here.

Battlefield 3 At TGS, What a Difference a Month Makes

The last time I played Battlefield 3 on the PS3, it had some problems. But that was the game's co-op mode! The game's singleplayer code is looking a lot healthier.

The demo available at the Tokyo Game Show is a level we haven't played before, a singleplayer mission that involves storming an apartment building at night. The structure of the mission is pretty simple: run down a hill, set up a mortar (sadly, you can't control it), shoot everyone outside the building then shoot everyone inside the building.

Nearly all the issues the PS3's co-op mode was suffering from at Gamescom, like poor frame rate and major glitches, were absent here, the mission chugging along nicely despite a ton of effects going off and enemies appearing - and dying - where they should instead of flickering in and out of existence.

If you're expecting this to look like the PC version, or even close to it, you'll be disappointed. It's clear the console versions won't come near the kind of fidelity the PC in 2011 is capable of. But that's OK, and totally understandable: the PS3 is, after all, 2006 hardware.

What I liked about this mission's visuals, then, is the decision deveopers DICE took with what they were going to compromise. The PS3 version is jaggy, noticably and unavoidably so, but what it loses in clarity it makes up for with the full range of effects. All the smoke, fire and clouds of dirt that bring the game world to life were there and looking great, and at the end of the day if things have to compromised then that's the way I'd like it to shake down.

Better a jaggy and exploding world than a clear and sterile one!

The PS3 seems to be the superior version.

The PC is

Oh you mean consoles, it is probably a toss up in all honesty (360/PS3).

Just a horrible attempt at sarcasm lol.

After reading that, I'm almost ashamed to own a PS3. Wish I could afford a new rig.

The PC Version defiantly the better version, I think we've went over this already...

I do not understand the point of this comment.

I just posted an article showing the improvements a month has made on the console version. Since last month it was "stuttery".

No need to get offended brah!

Re: Battlefield 3

Used to be, haha. Long story why it's not now.

My new PSN is BrutalizedStigma, feel free to add me if you want. But, be warned I never use a mic or listen to others. I have tried doing both, but it really distracts me.

Been playing a lot of Resistance 3 Online recently, for some reason I can't stay connected to Bad Company 2. With Medal of Honor I have no problems staying connected.

Getting a new PS3 in a couple of days, so hopefully that will help my connection issues.

Ohh i was wondering what happened to you.

Re: Battlefield 3

Ok...looks like I'm gonna have to purchase this game on the PC.

(I currently play on PS3, but it sounds like the PC version KILLS it)


So, since I'm in the market for a PC that can handle this sort of game, WHAT SHOULD I GET?

**I currently use a laptop Sony Vaio from 2009.

What specs on a PC will I need to run Battefield 3 (and any other great PC game) to a "T"?

Help!
