LATEST FEATURES Being A Console Is Actually Xbox One's Worst Asset
Microsoft's newest console has lots of different features, but video games might hold the device back from the software giant's true intentions.

Battlefield 4 All But Confirmed For March 26th Reveal

Posted on Saturday, March 9 @ 15:05:00 Eastern by Jonathan_Leack

I need some god**** ammo!

EA has sent out an e-mail to dozens of press inviting them to attend what appears to be an obvious Battlefield 4 announcement. Just look at the image above, particularly the font and colors. How can it be anything else? The e-mail says to "Save the date" of March 26th at San Francisco, which perfectly lines up with this year's Game Developers Conference, the perfect setting for such an arrangement.

The publisher previously noted that Battlefield 4 does indeed exist and better yet that it'll release this year. Naturally, it'll also be coming to next-gen console(s) with PlayStation 4 being an obvious choice, and Microsoft's secretive console being a highly likely #2. The Wii U is... well... probably going to be neglected.

Battlefield 3 is still used as a benchmark for PC rigs with its high-quality textures and shaders. It'll be interesting to see how DICE can push the series a step further. Last time around the console ports were severely limited with sub-30 FPS constraints, low draw distance, and toned down texture quality. That shouldn't be a problem this time around, or at least we can hope that the PlayStation 4's 8GB of GDDR5 is sufficient.

    Hopefully the consoles will make it up to 64-player battles this time......and the PC will be up to 128!

    I'd take gameplay/map improvements, over more players. BF3 on consoles is a mess.

    Battlefield 3 already offers the most dynamic and full-featured Multiplayer on the market. It makes ALL OF THE CALL OF DUTY GAMES look like children's software. Hopefully Battlefield 4 will go straight to the next generation systems because I wouldn't want to buy it on Xbox360/PS3 knowing the limitations of the systems. Battlefield 4 just needs higher resolution character/weapon/scenery models (on the level of Crysis 3) to be the winner.

    Call of Duty will never beat Battlefield, and vice versa. They aren't competing. As much as the two publishers want to make it seem that way, they aren't. They offer totally different experiences. If anything, MoH was an attempt at competing with CoD.

    The big problem is that CoD is a well-marketed product wherein I haven't seen a SINGLE advertisement for Battlefield games or Crysis games for that matter.

    Marketing and advertisement is EVERYTHING in this world.

    I saw more marketing for MoH than BF3. And I don't really think EA cares about getting new players, as BF3 isn't really all the accessible, or easy to adjust to, especially if you're coming from CoD. I've seen plenty of advertisements for both games you mentioned, they were just terrible and didn't provide any info about the actual game.

    Benchmark? Skyrim or Arma 3, not Battlefield 3. Once you look at the game objectively, Battlefield 3 is full of dumb shortcuts, like the trees on Kharg Island. I'd say at best, the game is absolutely beautiful considering how rushed it was. Technically speaking though, it's generic.

    Skyrim is used more as a CPU-bound gaming benchmark while Battlefield 3 is one of the best for GPU benchmarks just because it is so well optimized.

    Hopefully they'll integrate Voip and do away with that battlelog and give me the option to choose a server in game. Oh and EA please no DRM.

    Hopefully EA realizes that they don't need DRM for Battlefield games since absolutely no one plays it for the singleplayer.

    ALWAYS ONLINE, BATTLEFIELD 4; Is pretty much what all the "no one plays BF for single player" comments are gonna cause.

    Knowing EA, they'll gamble making the same mistake twice.

    How many Wii U games get pirated every day?

    None. Because it has no gaems!!!!!

    That's the solution, someone tell EA. Stop making games!

    Battlefield 3 was too big for me. I enjoyed the game but for some reason BF:BC2 was way more fun. Maybe it was that dieing was to realistic? Get in a tank, get ass handed to you, get in a jet, crash cause you can't fly. Same with helicopter. The CQC was a blast though. My big thing is I was on PS3 and that game needed a mouse and keyboard to play at the top level.

    The PS3 version suffered from massive controller input lag and stiff, jerky, broken controls for over the first year of its release. If you play the game today it is actually patched up pretty well and the smoothest its ever been.
