Screenshots from the new video! GET!!

By AhmadMetallic May 27, 2011 89 Comments

EDIT: These screenshots are screencaps from youtube taken in 420p .. the image quality is NO-WHERE near the game's actual graphic quality.

I'm... speechless. I am without speech. if you haven't seen the new video yet, it has cock blowing new footage and you should see it!
New video + Thread discussing video
The thing i love the most about that video is the explosive grins rupturing through the devs' faces. It's the kinda ecstasy that says "You have no fucking idea what we're bringing to the table"

here are some screencaps for those interested :
(I didn't wanna hijack the discussion thread, nor did i wanna upload them to wiki since they're watermarked)

  Enjoy!

Edit : Here's a video of all the BF3 footage connected together, without the interviews :

@HitmanAgent47: Okay then, you have the right to demand that games look just as good when videos of them are paused so you can have your screenshots, but i doubt it's anybody's priority to pause a video of a game and see that it still looks good.

I want it to look good when i run it on an i5 and a GTX 580 by the end of the year. that's what matters to me

@NickL: well, it depends, they don't release like real screenshots during the alpha or beta stage. They call this bullshots, where it's controlled and rendered on their workstation pcs, then they raise the rez up to like X4000 or more, then they photoshop it back to 1080p so it looks sharp. Other times, they just take a screenshot directly from the ram, which is like a direct feed and it always looks better. One of the tricks I use is to see if the screenshot has a hud and stuff, then it's probally real, if it's not overly sharp which means they raised the rez and downscaled it in photoshop. Tecmo does that alot for example.

I'm obsessed with screenshots and graphics from it. Lol.

How the fuck is this going to run on a console when it's two 550s being used for the current footage?

Hmm? They're using a single GTX 580 for the trailers as far as I know.

Same here - I'm very curious about FB2 performance on consoles. I don't think anybody has done 'deferred rendering' on consoles yet. The guys at EA/DICE are technological trendsetters with Frostbite 2.

Could be like the step from bitmaps to whatever Donkey Kong and Final Fantasy VI were for the 16bit-era, if their tech works out well on current gen consoles.

Dude - the game will scale very well. All you need is good enough hardware to get over a certain hump, after which the game runs smoothly and great looking. As much as I've been able to learn about their rendering method, it's all about fitting its streaming process into the RAM and the system being fast enough to handle the flow. The basic workload is much higher than with classic rendering methods, but as soon as you get it running, it's gonna be smooth sailing.

Of course computers and software are the equivalent of arcane magic to me. So this might all be bull. Pretty sure it's an ecomomic reality for it to run well on any modern gaming system, so it will certainly scale well enough for any DX11 systems. BF3 will run on a 570 just fine. Still will be the most graphically impressive game to date, even with some 'luxury settings' turned off.

No you can't! That technology hasn't been reached yet.

EA PWNED is a Youtube show on the EAvision channel, and it's pretty much the only real way to sneak peek at any upcoming EA games. they covered Dead Space 2 and Bulletstorm quite nicely, and they're doing the same with BF3 now!
Does the name stink? Sure. Do i care? Too busy jizzing over Battlefield 3 ^^

That is so beautiful. Look at that blue. That's the best looking atmosphere I've seen in a video game for a long time. It would be perfect for a Hitman game. Dark, moody, mellow. Or a Mirror's Edge game! Oh man! Mirror's Edge with the new Frostbyte engine confirmed!? OH MY GOD!!

Agreed. I'm obsessed with "city at night" aesthetics, and images like that are why. If the sky were darker, it'd be perfect.

Everything about those screenshots were good except for the EA PWNED crap on the sides of the shots. Whoever came up with that saying should be shot.

OH MAN DUDE THAT GUY IS TOTALLY LAYING DOWN AND MOVING

The more and more the military shooter genre saturates, the more and more I become less interested in something more realistic like this. Sup' MW3, world war three you say? Non-sensical world-spanning plot you say? Ridiculous co-op missions you say? Yeah, that sounds more appealing.

Looks really neat, a few people praised the animation though, I can't say that its anything special, it seems like nice animation but its not anything other games haven't done, BC2 had some decent animations.

DICE have said that they invented a new form of disc storage to go along with the new engine that allows the consoles to run close, but not equal, graphics to the PC version at top graphics.

Whether this is true/accurate, I don't know, I just remember it from a press discussion they did.
