That is why EA got voted twice in a row the worst company in America. I hate how my sacred bioware is in there hands.

I've been enjoying Battlefield very much. Only issues have been rubber banding in some servers.

Agreed about the bugs and patches, but personally I find Killzone running at only 30fps more damaging.

Killzone didn't run at 30fps... SP is variable from 30-60fps and MP is most of time 60fps.

Yes, I'm talking about single player and while it is often above 30fps (running in the 40s at times) it's never even close to hitting 60fps:

Bottom line:  I've played KZ and BF4 on PS4 and there's a big difference in smoothness between the two games.  To me, the 900p vs 1080p difference is nothing compared to the difference in frame rate.

Can I also add how dumb it is to make the PS4 version 900p? Why not just make it 720p and get a solid 60fps... Right now at 900p it's cool, but it jumps between 40fps to 50fps.

I didn't know the fps dipped quite that much (I would've guessed between 50-60) but it still seems to run much smoother than KZ.

I agree though; I'd gladly settle for 720p if it meant a silky smooth 60fps.  To me, that's of paramount importance for a next gen first person shooter.

Joke thread? Game looks good and runs at 60 fps. Solid framerate >>> resolution + wildly variable framerate.

Also, lose trust in DICE because of how buggy and rushed the game was, not because of some petty resolution stuff.

They are under EA. That means they will be rushed to bring out the games for EA's financial results.

You know how EA is... why blame the developers when fiascos happen with every developer under EA. Its not that difficult to figure out where the problem is.

Guerrilla and Sucker Punch Sony first party studios making games at 30FPS. PS4 cant't with battlefield at 1080p 60FPS without a graphic downgrade. Just understand that, PS4 is not a high end PC, they do what they can with that hardware

If Killzone and Infamous: Second sond were 60FPS instead of 30 they would be 900 or 720p too ;)

There is a ocean of difference between the graphics of Battlefield 4 and Killzone for example.

BTW Killzone is 30-60fps in single-player and 60fps most of time in multi-player... and if I'm not wrong Killzone is 1080p yet.

Yeah you are right there's an ocean between them. Battlefield has better graphics than Killzone and destruction running at 900p 60FPS. So Batt wins

Having a 1080p/30fps or 720p/60fps option would cost a boatload since two versions would need to be optimized, but having an option to just drop the resolution and unlock the frame rate wouldn't be too difficult. I'd always chose 1080p, but yeah I'd definitely be in favor of offering that option.

I can't imagine it takes much effort to allow resolution switching that impacts the FPS. I mean developers have been doing it on the PC for many moons.

Not everyone even plays games on a 1080p screen. So sacrificing those frames for pixels is wasted on 720p screens.

But what is achieved on PC isn't the same as what you're asking.

You're asking for the option to choose between 1080p/30fps locked and 720p/60fps locked. To achieve this, you need to optimized both "version".
On PC, you can play with graphics settings to get the best performance your rig can offer. But switching options won't give you a "locked" version. You have to circle through the many options until you find a result that satisfies your needs, to your PC's limitations. None of which will be locked at the framrate you desire, unless your rig can push graphics steadily passed your monitor's refresh rate and you lock it all at 60fps with VSync.

Not even close... BF4 looks old gen on PS4 compared with Killzone.

Now if you are talking about BF4 on PC... maybe.

Don't see a problem.

Dice never before made a 1080p game without bugs.Why this time?
because of next gen? no.Release date mustnt be delayed for the sake of EA 's profit.
