The one significant difference this time around however, is that Battlefield 3 speaks for itself. This game, developed by DICE and aimed at the PC market, has a real chance at becoming the best shooter of 2011. And that’s no small feat considering the sheer amount of Triple-A FPS titles coming out this year.
EA showed off Battlefield 3 at an offsite GDC event last night, offering a glimpse at the single player campaign and everyone who witnessed it came away impressed and happy with how the game is shaping up. It was a showcase of the new Frostbite 2 engine and how it impacts the Battlefield’s AI, physics, regarding their movement. The footage displayed started out with exactly what we see in the new Battlefield 3 gameplay trailer, but continues on through more firefights, ending with an earthquake and a building collapsing onto a helicopter which falls onto you.
While there were complaints that no AI was shown, instead replaced by seemingly entirely-scripted scenes and moments, PC Gamer came away with the bold statement, describing Battlefield 3 as the “best looking PC game in the world right now.”
