![]() ![]() ![]() In the last few weeks, statements have been floating around suggesting that Battlefield 4 operates at 720p on the new consoles, or 900p on one but not the other, depending on which unsourced comment you read. The PC beta allows for a full 64 players - something DICE has also promised for the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 iterations of the game.īut first, let's attempt to address a next-gen controversy surrounding the game. Shanghai winds up feeling dreadfully empty with huge swathes of empty open space dividing skirmishes. With Battlefield 4 it is more apparent than ever that this low player count simply isn't adequate for a full size Conquest map. Unfortunately PS3 and 360 owners remain limited to a maximum of just 24 players per map. ![]() In Domination the map is reduced in size to allow for a smaller player count while Conquest mode purportedly delivers the full experience. To begin with, the beta includes just one map, Siege of Shanghai, available in two variations according to the selected mode. Expectations are high for the new platforms but what of the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 experience? Does Frostbite 3 bring anything new to the table for these ageing consoles? How do these versions compare to Battlefield 4 running on a more powerful PC? And with the arrival of last week's beta test, can we extrapolate anything about the next-gen console versions from the PC game? Battlefield 4 is, perhaps, the most anticipated of these releases, with the promise of delivering the full PC experience on both next generation consoles at 60fps. Hence the arrival of "cross-gen" games titles developed for current and next generation consoles simultaneously. But the PS3/360 legacy lives on - the sheer size of their combined installed base means that publishers can't leave the old machines behind just yet. It's been a long console generation but the end is in sight with the release of PlayStation 4 and Xbox One set for this November. ![]()
