Mostly everything that has been seen thus far from DICE when it comes to Battlefield 3 has been on PC. Â More importantly, high-end PC’s. Â The type of PC’s that only a handful of the most dedicated (and wealthy) PC gamers are going to have. Â When Battlefield 3 launches this Fall, the majority of players will be playing the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of the game.
In a recent interview Patrick Bach details that these console versions won’t have nearly the level of quality that has been shown thus far. Â In an interview with Video Gamer, Bach told the online publication that consoles will lack in resolution, framerate, anti-aliasing, and motion blur. Â You know, all of the things that make your jaw hit the floor when watching this game in action.
“The higher resolution, the higher framerate, the anti-aliasing, the motion blur, stuff like that. We can’t have it to the same quality on the console,” says Bach.
“The problem if you’re setting a new bar is you’re pushing yourself up. Of course there’s a challenge by showing something that looks amazing on PC and then something that just looks great on console. I think the challenge is to beat ourselves. Of course, it’s hard to do that because of the practical limitations of the consoles.”
That’s not to say Battlefield 3 will look bad on console. Â Bach said ” What we’ll show on console doesn’t look worse than any other game out there. Â It’s probably even better than every other game out there on console.”
