About the image quality of BattleField 1

1.I heard about the upcoming “BattleField 1” uses the same game-engine:Frostbite 3 as “Battlefield 4” and “Battlefield Hardline”,then will the the graphic quality of “BattleField 1” be superior to previous BattleField products which use the same game-engine(Frostbite 3)? If the answer is ‘Yes’,then what reasons lead to this result? If these products that use the same game-engine have almost the same picture quality,then why this time,lots of people among the world gasp in admiration the trailer of “BattleField 1” and criticize “Call of Duty 13:Infinite Warfare”?
2.I see the official site of “Frostbite” says: “One of our most exciting current projects is called Frostbite Go, a mobile division empowering EA game developers with Frostbite’s proven excellent workflows and features to bring true Frostbite experiences to all major mobile platforms.” Then my question is: Does the team of ‘Frostbite’ has intention to develop a next generation of ‘Frostbite’ game-engine which apply to PC platform? Such as: “Frostbite 4”?

Did you see Battlefront?

That game uses new technology which was added to Frostbite to make it look better. Also, I don’t see people criticizing COD for looks, as it has definitely improved over the years, they are criticizing content. Let’s not confuse the situation here

Photogrammetry. Engines do get upgraded, updated with latest technology. Also keep in mind BF4 was not just for next gen it was also on old gen so they had to make some graphical concessions to make the game run smoothly on old gen. Otherwise, they would’ve been forced to create two separate games, one for old and one for new gen.

BF1 will be current gen only with photogrammetry and an upgraded Frostbite 3.

Also keep in mind that devs have always had the ability at anytime to improve graphics but they don’t because upgrading graphics reduces frame rates.

I mean…some of the BF fanboys here WILL bag on CoD for it’s graphics, lol.

people dont understand this. hell, CoD was using a modified Quake 3 engine for a decade, and no one would ever have known if modders hadnt gotten into the source code because no one would ever have looked at CoD 4 and thought it had any visual similarities to Quake 3 Arena.

Yea, but most video game fans who aren’t blind fanboys can see through that. While COD doesn’t look phenomenal, it looks better every iteration, regardless of what people say. It may not be a lot, but every game steps forward

How do you know a game has an upgraded Frostbite 3? I can’t find any related news on official “Frostbite” site,so I don’t know what stage or status of “Frostbite 3” has been developed into.Could you tell me what channel of information about “Frostbite 3” status that you got those news such as " ‘Frostbite 3’ has been upgraded on certain game. @ThePoolshark , @Nobel83-9

Frostbite is continuously upgraded. Every game release has something new added to it. They don’t release version names, but first release on Frostbite 3 will obviously be different than the current releases until they call it Frostbite 4, which should be a large incremental update

I guarantee BF1 will be better looking than BF4 or Battlefront. Not that there’s anything wrong with that :slight_smile:

also even if the game engin stays the same as you learn to optimise and make better code for graphics you get a better result.look at early x360 games then look at games 5 years later on x360, they look 100% better, so improving your code gets you better results on the same hardware.

Leads to improve the way you use the code gets you better results on the same software, believe it or not programmers get better at using said engin and learn how to manipulate it to get better results even though it is still in essence the same code. if that makes sence

There’s some info on it on the Reddit BF4 page.

But all you have to do is play BF4, then Hardline, then Battlefront and you will see the difference for yourself. You could even look at the original BF4 maps from 2013 and compare to the newest ones (Dragon Valley 2015, Outbreak).

The game will look great, that’s the only thing I’am sure of.

Well yea, when the devs make an obviously more graphically intense game, they are going to gloat a bit even though they shouldn’t. In general, though, I see more people complaining about setting than graphics

Many CoD games, especially Infinite Warfare, look all plastic-esque. I mean, I can definitely play games with way worse graphics than the new CoD game (I almost feel like playing through GTA SA again), but it still looks very dated if you directly compare it to what we’ve seen of Battlefield 1 and some other current generation games.

Nonetheless, it isn’t really 100% about graphical quality. Good graphics are wasted if the atmosphere isn’t just as good, if not better. Atmosphere and setting is where CoD REALLY seems to be dropping the ball.

Oh.But I have only played BattleField 1942, BattleField 2 and its famous mod:“Forgotten Hope 2”(p.s:I really wish the team of Forgotten Hope could make new generation Forgotten Hope about WW2 for “BattleField 1” with new great graphics technology), and I played BattleField:Bad Company 2.(p.s:I’m so sorry,but I had no choice that I played above games all in free pirated products.I really want to buy BattleField 1942 as a souvenir,but it seems EA not sells it anymore since 2014. The government of China prohibited Chinese to buy “BattleField 4” due to it contains something bring shame on China and the government thought that is a new style of cultural aggression.So I couldn’t buy and play BattleField 4.Even in nowadays,Chinese buy some foreign games or other products still inconvenient.But I bought “BattleField 1” successfully this time through a overseas purchasing agent.Anyway,cheers! I have become a genuine user,not an illegal user anymore.)Currently,due to economic reasons,I don’t have enough money to purchase other BattleField games anymore.So,all my hope is presuming upon the upcoming “BattleField 1” is a great game.

Will “BattleField 1” support DirectX 12 ?

Can you not just look up a 1080p 60fps video of Battlefield 4, then a 1080p 60fps video of Battlefront - and compare them visually?

As someone who owns and regularly plays both games - I can tell you the difference graphically between BF4 and SWBF is night and day. SWBF is hands down the more graphically impressive game of the two, and probably one of the most visually impressive games I’ve seen in my life.

It’s nearly photo-realistic at a glance.

If they’re going to upgrade Frostbite 3 EVEN MORE for Battlefield 1, the game is going to look downright gorgeous, and will be one of, if not the MOST graphically impressive games in the industry.
