We'll find out in beta as to how it actually feels and plays out. Hard to say atm.

The feeling of the game is what will make it or break it for me. I just absolutely hate the feeling that Bad Company has. Absolutely wretched. Same with Medal of Honor, although it was a tad bit better.

Eh. Just watched like 1 1/2 hour of the late night shows to see the under 1 minute gameplay on the ps3.. And well, sucks to be a console player.

The face from those screenshots sure looked impressive. The clothes felt off, however - artificial and a tad plasticky, so to say.

Game aside, wow that was awkward as hell.
Yeah, was quite awkward indeed.

Never really watched Fallon's show. Does he do game reviews like this often? Or was it a one time, cause EA threw some of that $100 mil marketing budget at him?

Talk Shows don't touch this stuff in general. But EA is sparing no expense. There's all sorts of cross-promotional marketing going on right now, like when Duke did the big 3 minute ad on Comedy Central.

Was that recent exclusive footage, because I have seen that before.

No it was just the PS3 Fault Line playthrough on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.

"So I can be hiding behind a wall and it can just blow up. .... Gosh.... this is going to be a very stressful game for me" - Jimmy Fallon :D

I think you guys are getting tunnel vision looking at the high-res face textures and then ignoring the rest of their bodies.

Sure it looks good but how often are you going to be close enough for that LOD to kick in? This is BF3, not Mass Effect or something like that.

And I see their AKs will be firing from safe as well... :p

I honestly can't really say it looks much better than BC2 did. But then that isn't what bothers me about BF3. I'm mostly worried about how it's actually going to play.

Fallon has had gaming related segments every day this week and has often had industry people on his show as guests prior.

He loves to game in general, probably one of the few, if not the only mainstream talk show host that does and proudly shows it.

(Though I still don't care for his show.)


As for the screens, I still think they look damn impressive. I don't know too many texture artists who would bother to get the tiny stitching and detailed texture work for a piece of clothing as detailed as this seems to be.
