DICE promises 720p for Battlefield 3 on consoles
Framerate will be a minimum of 30fps
Battlefield 3 has been garnering a lot of attention for its stunning visuals but some doubt has been cast over the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions as only the PC version has really been shown off so far.
DICE has spoken out, eager to assure fans that the console versions of Battlefield 3 will match the expectations that have been raised by the PC footage being shown off saying that it will run at 720p on both the PS3 and the Xbox 360. This is at least as good as if not better than the majority of games currently available.
Johan Andersson, rendering architect at DICE defended Battlefield 3 on consoles on his personal Twitter account and even poked a bit of criticism at Modern Warfare 2 in the process.
He said: "99.9% of PS3 and Xbox 360 games are 720p, and a lot of them, including Modern Warfare 2 run way lower than that".Andersson continued saying that MW2 ran at "1024x600 on PS3 with 2x MSAA" in order to achieve a frame rate of 60 frames per second.
He added: "We think huge levels, lots of players, great effects, destruction, vehicles and varied gameplay is more important than 1080p. We always do 30 frames per second on consoles, otherwise it wouldnt be possible to fit in vehicles, effects, scale and all players."
