The 2011 conference timetable contains a lecture from Kenny Magnusson, a senior lighting and VFX artist at EA DICE.
Here's the blurb for the talk:
Quote:
"This session presents a detailed overview of the new lighting system implemented in DICE's Frostbite 2 engine and how it enables us to stretch the boundaries of lighting in BATTLEFIELD 3 with its highly dynamic, varied and destructible environments.
"BATTLEFIELD 3 goes beyond the lighting limitations found in our previous battlefield games, while avoiding costly and static prebaked lighting without compromising quality.
"We discuss the technical implementation of the art direction in BATTLEFIELD 3, the workflows we created for it as well as how all the individual lighting components fit together: deferred rendering, HDR, dynamic radiosity and particle lighting."
The continued silence from DICE on BF3 specifics is NOT a good sign. Will it be a true sequel to BF2 or a derpified gamepad nightpare for 16 year olds?

Last month they said: "PC gives a player more input control and if a gun feels good on PC it feels good on console. I won't 'dumb it down' by lowering the recoil or changing the damage model or other such silliness." , but who knows what they have in mind...
TWIN PEAKS is "something of a miracle."
"...like nothing else on television."
"a phenomenon."
"A tangled tale of sex, violence, power, junk food..."
"Like Nothing On Earth"

You should have read the fineprint at the bottom.
shitloads of new stuff in my pc. Cant keep track of it all.
i'd happily pay for
1942 remade exactly as it was with dx11 graphics and super hi res textures.
same for vietname
same for bf2
you can kee 2142 and bfbc2 and you can stick bf3 up your arse
Exactly
What made battlefield was.. IT WAS A FUCKING BATTLEFIELD .. large maps.. i could grab a plane.. fly somewhere. have a dog fight.. get in a tank.. have a tank battle.. etc etc.. same with mods like Desert Combat .. fucking awesome
Hell if i wanted to swim out to a ship.. drive it around a island and do some beach bombardment i could.. if i wanted to go try sink that ship.. i could.. if i wanted to try and torpedo a troop landing ship .. i could
Now its a generic fucking piece of shit series like the fucking rest of them "BIG 16V16 BATTLES IN A TINY MAP"
Fuck you dice.. fuck you
Orig trailer for 1942.. now that is/was a fucking game
.
Would love to see bf1942+expansions with updated graphics engine. Excellent games - but anoying when you played against bots how their assault tanks could fire from a distance where you could not even see them and make direct hits (on moving objects).

As per every time they do this is will have one new peice of lighting that no one will be able to see or tell the difference and it will cost us another 40 sheets to play it for 2 days then get bored.
Its quite simple, remake BF2 which was awesome and up the GFX. A-la gran turismo, same crap better graphics. Unfortunatly GT5 is crap but BF2 was awesome.
I'll take bc2 with the smaller but better designed levels (besides omaha, all games need an omaha beach). yah they are smaller. one example of bad design, on almost all vietnam maps you could spawn, zoom in on the sniper scope and shoot people at other spawns without moving 1 step.
the destructible environments.... i cant play another bf w/out these now, all games should have them imo.
awesome war tapes sound
weapon unlocks, class customization, stats recorded.... there's just soo much advancement since 1942.
and I love reading about how they are excited about their new lighting in the new frostbite engine. this is their baby, they have been building up to what it is now and I dont see them choosing console or pc over eachother. I see them as they are mastering their engine and taking the battlefields to the next levels with todays standards.
I´d to see more immersion in the battefield, I mean more aircrafts and helicopters passing by all the time, more soldier shouting, just moar of everything. I know everyone hates killstreaks, but I think they would suit bf3 just fine.
But not easy killstreaks, let´s say you need 10-15 kills, just to add a cosmetic look to the battlefield, similar to the aircrafts passing through in medal of honor´s airport map when blowing up the first bomb.
I'd like to see limited classes on the field. Played BFBC2 yesterday and it was a map where pretty much everyone apart from the ones driving tanks was snipers.
Could be that if you team wins, the next round you could have more "slots" aviable or something like that...

Snipers should have a limited # permitted per team. Two should be enough.
Rewarding killstreaks takes the focus away from teamplay and make people selfish. Terrible idea and would attract the kiddies who love to boast statistics over effective squad work.

BF2. Where do you think Call of Duty got most of that stuff?
@Pey: Basically BC2 but more Battlefield like?
If they'll have killstreaks I'lll literally have 0 interest in BF3 though.
i was pointing out how far the game has come since bf1942, nothing about COD. but if you want to say COD got the idea from BF2, I doubt that, I would think the idea came more from games like counter strike, when servers started making scripts or mods to record a players stats for that server. same concept really.
