Yeah I realized this after I posted. I'm still interested in anything they present and talk about.
I don't recall anyone getting their panties in a bunch here with any tech being shown. I'd imagine that posters here knew not to expect PC level visuals on a 5/6 year old console. As for jumping to conclusions about tech not being shown, I think it's a safe assumption that if a game isn't ready to be shown or discussed, it's not ready or behind.
"We need to focus on shipping the game" doesn't necessarily mean that the game wouldn't be up to scratch for the talk. Time is extremely precious in the run up to a release, especially if you have any sort of family outside of the office. Deciding to do just the one talk might been enough of a sacrifice.
It's probably 12+ hour shift time over there for the duration, likely much more.

Thanks, now I'm interested what they'll present regarding the various rendering techniques.

I watched the above DF footage a few days ago, just confirmed it's a bit of a letdown for me.
Here's supposed first offscreen screen of the game on PS3 (besides Kimmel I guess)! Grasping for straws here

That footage was available from other sources on the same night it was aired :/ As Rangers stated, a bit of a let down. Hopefully it's improved when released.

I will be pretty pissed if the EA online pass means that me and my wife have to pay an extra $10 for her to be able to play online as well.
I've already skipped several EA games now due to the locked save garbage, would hate to see something similar to happen with Battfield 3.

Yes that looks pretty amazing, but we cant talk much about it here because this is console forum.
Although the one quibble I notice people talking about is the jets are as slow as propeller driven planes... which I'm sure is for balance, but is kind of off putting once you see it.
I just have to wonder if BF3 would have even half the hype if EA was leading with console footage, and had debuted with console footage. Because all the hype began with that early amazing PC trailer.
I guess it just shows graphics are so important, even just your PC version having great graphics will push your game over on console. Just by halo effect. Basically. Honestly it could be a reason for other devs to invest more in PC graphics. The reason MW3 is getting crapped on in internet threads is basically because MW3 PC just basically uses console assets like most PC ports, whereas BF3 PC is a whole nother game. And it's always the BF3 PC version graphics people are thinking about even if the consoles will sell much more in reality.

Well, I keep hearing BFBC2 sold more on PC than console, though I guess I'm a bit skeptical and I wonder at what price points.
I was just assuming given both a PS3 and 360 version, and if it even does 1/3 to 1/2 of MW's huge numbers, I would assume it will be likely the console versions sell most.
I don't see the tearings. ^_^
We embraced worse looking games on consoles before. The dudes playing BFBC2 are still hyped about the game. What is the PC-vs-console split like for BF2 and BFBC2 ?
Does BF3 run on a Mac ? My PC laptops are too old to run games.
The most important thing is the gameplay. That's what people are after (See RFOM vs R2).

There constant tearing really clear when entering the first door.
When i saw the pc trailer and this coop footage lets say i cancelled my 360 preorder and ordered it on origin.

Better quality footage: http://gamersyde.com/news_gc_ps3_coop_bf3_gameplay-11668_en.html
And yeah after seeing this presentation I must say that I'm pretty disappointed too...the frame-rate is almost always under 30fps with lots of tearing and the lack of motion blur is really hurting the game's visuals and overall look IMO...the game in it's current state looks really rough.
Also someone from Dice made a comment on twitter about the 360 version and supposedly it's coming along wonderfully:
So all this lack of 360 info was just a marketing strategy? Umm...OK.
