It's only the visual aspect of BF3 that has been revealed in the trailer.

So that confirms PC...

Interesting:

Geforce FX redeemed!

Maybe that's the MLAA variant? :s Or maybe he meant super sampling (FSAA). Guess we'll know when the slides get released.

[skmanga]

are them order independent transparencies?

[Bludd]

Let's try summoning repi again!

Jag tilkallar dig, repi. I summon thee lest I am consumed by rage and rain hellfire upon thee.

please come and talk to us, repi!

[Dr Evil]

I would like to see longer footage, but based on that I want to say that finally a game that looks like it's 2011.

Planetbattlefield.com has some sweet high res screen caps from the trailer:

Looks like FXAA is YAPP - yet another post-process. This time based on luminance variation.

http://forums-eu.ageofconan.com/showthread.php?t=163911

The last week has seen a lot of good progress with the Dreamworld technology version. The issues we mentioned last week with the poor performance of the anti-aliasing feature have been resolved with a little help from our friends at NVIDIA, and the introduction of a new form of anti-aliasing known as FXAA. The first versions with this solution have now been deployed to the test server and are being put through their paces.

Our Lead render coder Fred Richardson was happy to elaborate a little more about the new option:

"We are actually one of the first games to get access to this new solution. FXAA is a new anti aliasing technique developed by NVIDIA which provides highly effective edge smoothing, based on image luminance variations. It is designed to be extremely compatible with deferred engines, by avoiding the issues traditional hardware MSAA presents with regards to retrieving sub-pixel depth buffer samples. In addition it has much lower video memory requirements, while still producing extremely high quality results and avoiding slight image blurring which is common to other image based anti aliasing solutions."

They could still provide an option for real AA, and the post-process stuff could work well for those with lower end hardware.

I'm curious to learn more about SRAA. If it has access to higher resolution depth and normal buffers then it has more information than traditional MSAA hence potentially higher quality. Since you're not storing MSAA samples memory usage and bandwidth requirements should be lower but with a higher shading cost. Am I off base here?

"High res" .. sure.. if you think that consoles run in high res /snicker

I think it's good to see that DICE is putting a lot of weight in the technology, even though most would probably be used for the ps3.

[L. Scofield]

So, ETA on when the new media hits the web?

[czekon]

IMO pics posted before looks better then trailer, yet another battlefield.

[MarkoIt]

More gameplay!

Hello, regarding audio in bf3
Reading the interview in this article. I get confused, the audio environment effect is calculated by engine or its just use a lot of baked audio then mixed ingame.

thanks

[Aeoniss]

Is it just me, or does this blow all of the competition away?

Have we seen anything else that even comes close to the stuff Battlefield 3 is pushing?

[homerdog]

It's the Crysis of 2011.

[Neb]

Dem animations.. DAT graphics!

Also looks like nice OBM is in. Their legs when running is one pointer.

[pjbliverpool]

Looks incredible! I'll withhold judgement on whether its a Crysis 2 beater until I've played the single player though. Seems at least on a par with Crysis 2 multiplayer though.

Holy repi sighting! IN THE FLESH!

[pjbliverpool]

D11 only - LOVE IT! Now if only every other developer would follow this extremely sensible lead. It's not like it's stopping them developing the game on the 360 and PS3.

Why the hell would Crytek support DX9 at all? I see almost no logic in it.

We discussed that at length in the Crysis 2 thread starting around page 25. In short, supporting DX9 makes no sense at all.

I want BF3 so much. What I didn't like in that otherwise awesome trailer was the way they masked profanity in the script. A loud noise instead of letting us hear the word fuck? Are you fucking kidding me? Also, they missed a fuck at the end of the trailer.

Although it was masked, albeit poorly, I highly doubt they'll censor the final build. I noticed the few in the end that slipped, also.

Anyone else notice the authenticity of the models? Everything from sunglasses dangling from a goggle's strap, to mag pulls adorning magazines. This is like the first time I saw "Saving Private Ryan" and the gritty authentic feeling of war struck me.

[Miksu]

This actually looks really good. Hopefully it will be released on Steam.
