BF3 currently uses Frostbite 2, correct? If so, I look forward to improvements in Frostbite 3.
This isn’t news
This is truly meaningless information when you get down to it.
They could call it Frostbite 2.00.01 or Frostbite 923 and it still doesn’t really tell us what improved over the previous version.
This means nothing. They very, very clearly have not made a completely new version of the Frostbyte engine from the ground up - I’m sure any Battlefield 3 advocate would be able to identify dozens of things in the 17 minute release video which were identical to the behaviors in Frostbyte 2. All this is evidence for is the marketing department finding that fans got really exited over the idea that Battlefield 3 was on Frostbyte 2, so if we just say Battlefield 4 is on “Frostbyte 3”, surely they’ll be just as excited!
thanks for no information
You really believe this BS?
Remember this? This is called marketing bro
It’s not meaningless… It means we can expect engine changes. The other option was to just use Frostbite 2.0 with no engine changes.
Um, of course it’s not a new engine from the ground up. If it was new from the ground up it wouldn’t be called Frostbite… Incrementing the version number implies they started with the previous version and modified that.
If they started a new engine from the ground up why would they call it Frostbite if it would be completely different and new from Frostbite?
There is also the option to continue to improve Frostbite 2 without changing the version number, just like they can release patches to Battlefield 3 without calling it Battlefield 4.
OK.
They could call it Frostbite 2.00.01 or Frostbite 923 and it still doesn’t really tell us what improved over the previous version.
This I agree with since you are right. It doesn’t matter what they call it.
This is truly meaningless information when you get down to it.
This I disagree with because there is meaning. If instead they said it was going to run on Frostbite 2 then we would expect no engine changes. But they said it’s running on Frostbite 3 so we know we can expect changes.
Consoles are holding it back.
the door frame is made out of really good material
