Forums - Gaming Discussion - DigitalFoundry Battlefield 3 Face Off

The differences on console - where we do see them - appear to be relatively slight. Post-process anti-aliasing is utilised on both versions in order to resolve the obvious jaggies that impacted the previous Frostbite titles, but we see two different implementations, each suited to the relative strengths of the platform. PlayStation 3 implements MLAA - a technology that actively seeks out jaggies and applies smoothing where appropriate. DICE hasn't confirmed what's being used on Xbox 360, but it certainly looks very much like NVIDIA's FXAA..

The good news is that overall frame-rate is remarkably consistent in these scenes the only real differentiating factor comes down to the screen-tear, where we see that some scenes operate with an advantage on Xbox 360, while others clearly perform better on the PlayStation 3 - as good a sign as any that DICE has aggressively optimised for the strengths of each platform.

Good news for everyone?

Shame the map design blows, balance is awful and all the things they stole from CoD hamper the BF gameplay.

Well I disagree, I think apart from 1 or 2 maps, the map design is brilliant. And apart from a few weapons being slightly over-powered (which will be patched) it seems very balanced. What things did they "steal" from cod? (in multiplayer).

Looks amazing, very close to the PC versions too.

Will have to get this one on PS3 though, having to install 2 discs and a HD texture pack just seems a bit much, especially if it still doesn't look as good as the PS3 version.

It's funny that Eurogamer always downplays disadvantages in the 360 version of games, but blows it out of proportion when the PS3 lacks something/is worse. If you read the comments there, I think a lot of the users have noticed it too


They were worse before. They have improved a lot imo over the time and are pretty fair nowadays. For eg they didn't pick on GT 5 that much in the forza comparison where they could have picked a lot of unnecessary flaws in that game.

They have started to overall not make a huge fuss over the small differences in the multiplatform games nowadays.

That dude hates every single game that exist, so just leave him be, you don't want to argue with him
