BF3 - ''Console Version Looking Great!''


CVG interviewed Battlefield 3's executive producer, Patrick Bach. Bach reassured the community in telling them that the game is more than pretty graphics, but a game built to, "fulfill the potential of technology for [the] next five years."

Bach wrote:
The interesting part is since we have the stretch goal of creating something amazing on PC, scaling that back to console gives us an advantage because we actually see stuff being run on the console today in Battlefield 3 that looks so much better than we anticipated just because we're aiming so much higher rather than trying to build a console game based on the competition or our latest game. We're building it aiming for the stars. We're seeing some really cool results.


Bach also mentioned that the only way for people to really see the graphical differences (if there are any) between platforms is to look at screen shots of each. Not out... yet! There was one other interesting point raised later in the interview.

CVG & Bach wrote:
Do you think that's a problem with the industry? That people are trying to churn things out? There are annual releases for things like Call of Duty...

Yeah. Of course there's always money and there are stock prices that kind of drive and change things but I think the goal for game developers should be to make that game and if you make a great game then people will hopefully buy that. There is a challenge between just making another game and making the game.

Having said that do you have plans to make Battlefield 4, 5 and 6 as well?

Oh no we're not planning on that. No, there are probably more strategic people that are thinking about those things. I don't know EA might plan for things like that but we are DICE we make games so we're focusing on the game we are building right now to make sure it's as good as possible and when we're done with that we need to evaluate the situation, see what people want and what they don't want.

If we're a success maybe we should focus on maintaining that success rather than building a new game. If we fail then let's fix that.

[size=24]Battlefield 3 Has A $100 Million Dollar Budget To Kill CoD

EA CEO, John Riccitiello spoke today at the Ad Age Digital Conference in New York and confirmed that Battlefield 3 will launch in November of this year. Of course, Riccitiello once again brought up how they are going after the next Call of Duty and are aiming to "take that game down".

Additionally, Riccitiello stated they have a $100 million marketing budget for Battlefield 3.
Electronic Arts is setting the bar high for Battlefield 3.

Speaking during the Ad Age Digital Conference in New York City today, CEO John Riccitiello confirm it will launch Battlefield 3 in November of this year and said the publisher has rival Activision's Call of Duty series in its sights.

"This November, we're launching Battlefield 3. It's going up against the next Call of Duty, which is presently the #1 game in the game industry," he said. "A game that last year did $400 million dollars in revenue on day one. [Battlefield 3] is designed to take that game down."

Riccitiello later compared this holiday's battle between the two games to the Red Sox/Yankees rivalry in baseball and said gamers can expect to see massive advertising campaigns for both titles.

"There will be a couple hundred million dollars of marketing against these two products going head to head. We think we have the better product," Riccitiello added.

EA Games president Frank Gibeau echoed similar comments during GDC last month when he told us: "Everybody loves a heavyweight fight, and that's what this is going to be. We're here to compete."

Battlefield 3 to 'Take Down' Call of Duty with Over $100 Million in Marketing

Battlefield 3 and the Frostbite engine looked quite impressive during the game's GDC debut, and publisher Electronic Arts has made it known for some time now that they won't stop fighting until they've taken back the shooter crown from rival Activision. Talking to a group of marketers at the Ad Age conference, EA boss John Ricitiello explained to the audience that his company is very serious about toppling Call of Duty this fall with the release of Battlefield 3.

After showing them a demo, he proclaimed, referring to Activision's Call of Duty, "This game is designed to take down that game." He categorized it as a "battle of the titans", a rivalry like Red Sox versus Yankees or Microsoft versus Google. Riccitiello also noted that there will be a "couple hundred million dollars of marketing going against these two products going head-to-head."

Ultimately, Riccitello declared, "We think we've got the better product."

Call of Duty is so firmly entrenched in the gaming community that it's definitely going to be challenge for EA. Wedbush analyst Michael Pachter told us last month that Battlefield 3 doesn't stand a chance of edging out Call of Duty this fall.

Possible Battlefield 3 Release Date Spotted on EADM

French gaming website, Jeux Video Network is reporting that the EA Download Manager shows the release date for Battlefield 3 as November 2, 2011, which is a Wednesday. Normally game release dates are on Tuesday for North America, and Friday for Europe. Of course this could also be a inaccurate place holder date.

What Makes Frostbite 2 Engine so special?


We have been working for more than three years on Frostbite 2.0. This is of course something that we needed to build the Battlefield 3 game that we wanted to create. But what does Frostbite 2.0 actually do? Allow me to talk about some of the pillars we actually have in the engine:

The first thing that's important to mention is the Animation system. We are using a technology that has been developed within EA by EA Tech. This animation technology has been used by the FIFA games - you can see it in the actions of the players there - and it's called ANT. It really takes the first person shooter genre a big step forward and this is what we needed to build Battlefield 3.

Destruction is also a big part of Battlefield games nowadays. We're expanding it both on a macro level by being able to take down full buildings but also in the micro-destruction where you can chip away small pieces from cover, which will come into play throughout BF3.

Scale has always been a big part of Battlefield games and now we're taking that to a whole new level. Bigger landscapes, bigger cities but also a sense of difference when going indoors - showing the cities from a very tight, narrow perspective.

And then there's rendering - the wrapper that makes everything else look awesome. If you're to take this game to the next level of realism, you really need a rendering engine to support that. It has everything you could ask, including dynamic radiosity, particle lighting and much more.


Our audio is something we've been winning quite a lot of awards for and that we're very proud of. I would say we're already best in class, but in Battlefield 3 we're taking this a major step forward. Pretty cool, huh?

But Frostbite 2.0 is just tech. This is not the game - not want we want you to play. These are just the tools we are using to build the full experience of Battlefield 3. We fully hope you enjoy it.
