New info!!!

(translated)

  • when there's an explosion near you, your soldier is projected to the ground, and it apparetnly isn't scripted. when you get too much shots your soldier starts closing and opening his eyes(?) from the pain, and your visibility gets bad.
  • the maps should be very varied(new york, paris, nocturn, desert, etc)
  • The basis of body awareness is from Mirror's Edge, which was subsequently improved. 3D animations come largely from licenses such as FIFA and NBA Street.
  • frostibite 2.0 has been in devellopment since 2008. "PC Jeux" got surprised by the engine, it's kind of revolutionary, like the first engine from Crysis was back in 2007.

I'm guessing that's some early alpha version of Frostbite 2 or something like that? :x

the game is not nearly finished yet. And really the only reason that shot looks bad is there is no aa applied so its all very jagged. Its also zoomed out very far.

Here's the same shot with 16x supersampling AA:

the shot seems to be one of those used to show of the bounce lighting.

I can't wait to see it in action.

I'm guessing you'll need a beefy graphics card for realtime bounce lighting though. and it probably won't affect characters, not sure, but that would be heavy. and enviroment we already had it it, it was just baked or half baked before. but now we get it light, and from secondary sources like explosions.

but yeah, it does add a lot to a 3D scene.

I hope it'll run on midrange hardware. If so, it'd make for an amazing gaming experience. Couple that with dynamic shadows, an awesome animation and sound engine, and large maps... damn, I'm already drooling.

Its Battlefield i was already sold on the idea when they just announced the name let alone anything else. Im holding off pre-ordering till i find out more about the multiplayer, im hoping they are going to announce a beta in a few months i bought Medal of Honor just to get early BF3 beta access. Im just happy they are going with a realism slant not some fictional war.

    • EA launches in-game advertising platform for brands to "connect with audiences"

      By Big John Studd · Posted

      Yeah, this is absolutely nothing new and EA have done it before. Burnout Paradise, released in 2008, had dynamic advertising billboards that were updated via the internet and targeted people based on location and what EA knew about them from their profile. It was particularly notable for the fact that the Obama presidential campaign ran ads in the game, in an attempt to reach a younger audience who didn't watch broadcast TV any more. It was by no means the first though. Battlefield 2142 from 2006 had the same thing. In fact, Neowin wrote a story about it back then. https://www.neowin.net/news/ba...-in-game-ads-clarification/
    • Apple MacBook Neo is a blessing for Windows users, here's why

      This is obviously aimed at the education where Apple has lost so much ground to Chromebooks in the last few years, but unless they come up with a comparable management system for education why would anyone switch back?
    • Samsung is shutting down yet another app used by millions

      Here's how we arrived at that claim: Note that this is just Play Store downloads. The app is also available on the Galaxy App Store
    • Samsung is shutting down yet another app used by millions

      By +Edouard · Posted

      Google Play states the app had more than 50 million downloads. What other metric do you suggest should be used?
    • what other retro software do yall use

      MSN defined our generation in some ways, kind of like Snapchat and TikTok have done for future generations. I have great memories of the MSN era in the late 90s / early 2000s. In the UK everyone seemed to come home from School and go on MSN for the evening. We didn't really have mobile phones then, so other than going and knocking on your friends door it was a totally new way of interacting with people. I also loved how I could talk to people I’d met playing online games from around the world. Inviting people to NetMeeting and messing about with the shared white board and webcams was pretty fun, even if webcams only ran at a couple of fps over dial-up. All the random things you could do with MsgPlus! were really fun - I suspect that made a few people jump with /shello randomly blasting Mr Hankey out their speakers! Maybe I’m just nostalgic, however I do feel the internet and computers were more fun back then.
