Battlefield 4 Game Play Video Is Up!

im going to sound like an EA troll for saying this but im not.

one reason they could of wanted to enforce bans for correcting the blue tint is that the injector or what ever it was could of potentially altered the color in such a way that it makes players stand out much more than intended giving those players an advantage much in the same way and altering textures to make someone pink while not as effective as the straight up texture replacer it was a potential exploit/hack if used by someone less than honest.

ive dealt with so many hackers and glitches and texture replacing players in BF1942/BFV/BF2 that i honestly dont mind them preventing injectors on those basis.

but i DO NOT like them not having an option to remove the blue tint or toggle the supernova sun or tone it down with a slider to personal preference.

Cheating is understandably a legitimate concern, however there was a dialogue between DICE and the BF community about making the color grading an optional toggle in the config menu. At one point it looked like DICE was seriously considering it but ultimately backtracked because their artistic integrity demanded no compromises. I mean seriously, why not let us fucking play the game how we like unless you have an inflated ego that can't handle knowing that some people don't agree with your shitty artistic taste.

I guess this is what BF2 would look like if it was released today:

The color grading is so laughably awful -- but DICE seemingly has a megaboner for it.

They really should just make it a fucking toggle, I absolutely guarantee the happiness over this would gigantically outweigh whatever disdain it somehow generated, like certain idiots worried about it giving a competitive advantage. Like people were seriously getting themselves banned to get rid of the stupid effect.

What was honestly the mindset? Game has realistic visual target -> level partially and realistically modeled and lit after an actual real location -> BLUE THE FUCK OUT OF IT, art style is now totally unique and never before fathomed.
 
Any argument that states that colour grading prevents cheating is scientifically retarded...because BF3 has cheaters.
 
They have said turning off color grading by some users is equivalent to cheating.

well thats because it is cheating. because it gives who ever uses it an unfair advantage because it makes it easier to see.

it is essentially giving one player an unfair advantage over someone not using it.

its not a huge advantage but its there.

and if you tweak it you could potentially make it even easier to see enemies. and there is no way to distinguish between someone only removing the blue tint and out right adjusting the colors even more to make certain things in the game stand out more so you basically have to just straight up not allow it with 3rd party files.

they really need to just do what simcity did and just allow multiple color pallets so players could play with the one they prefer.

not allowing the blue remover wasnt to completely prevent cheats, you cant completely prevent them outside of having an active and smart admin in a server.

but it does help to minimize the access people have to being able to tweak the colors outside of not just their "crap vision" but also prevents them from making certain textures from being super bright.

they just need to remove the blue tint or give us an option in game to toggle it.

Oh wow, another post accusing PC gamers of entitlement from this guy. Why don't you throw in your other beauty about how we want everything for free? That is always so poignant. :rolleyes:

Yes I am so fucking entitled for expecting more options rather than less in a non-refundable product. Its not my fucking game BUT I FUCKING PAID FOR IT, and would be more than happy to get my money back, but I guess I am being entitled again aren't I.

Seriously, when did this whiny apologist mentality seep into gaming? :rolleyes:

But you only pay for the privilege of being bestowed upon you the greatness of DICE's artistic masterpiece! Didn't you know?! :p

HAHA. Wait, who is the one whining here.
 
To be honest I am scared of this game. What was once somewhat of a mental strategic game turned into a lot of run and gun. If they bring back commander and a working comm rose I will pick it up.

The *rumor* was 6-man squads and commander coming back, among other notables. If anyone remembers that alleged leak that made the rounds last November - supposedly from an insider at EA China and posted to a chinese forum. Now looking back on that list of alleged features through the lens of what we know officially about BF4, its interesting that everything is so far on the money. For example it was the first place anyone mentioned China as a third faction in addition to USA, Russia. Actually there is one thing he got wrong - female soldiers wont be playable in MP but that could've been a last minute change of heart on DICE's part, and he got right the fact there was a female NPC. The original rumor post also mentioned Air Superiority for BF3 which also turned out to be true obviously.

Translation of the original leak here, take it FWIW: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=498308

You bitch about paying for DLC, you bitch about not being able to use settings that would give you a hardware advantage over others (Pay to win at its finest), you ask for just a graphical update to something like BF2 but then would bitch that it was just a money grab and nothing new, you wanted a game like crysis then bitch about how you couldn't run it at max settings, then you bitch about console ports.

In short I think some of you on here just play games to find what is wrong with them then run here to whine about it. I don't think you all actually spend any time playing games.

If you weren't satisfied with BF3 (and FPS is your thing) then I truly suggest you give up gaming in general, you will never be happy. If there was a true demand for what some people want on here then someone would step up and provide it. It is simple economics. You have no grasp on the amount of time and resources that go in to creating these games or even how much it takes to create and balance even just a few maps. There is not some grand consiperiacy against the PC platform.

The Alpha for this game isn't even fucking out yet and there are TWO threads shitting all over it already.:rolleyes:

"Waaah waaaah waaaah. The bad people on the internet are making fun of something I like! Waaah!"

It's hilarious how offended you get when people criticise games. You just reel off aimless insults that aren't even relevant to what is being discussed or disputed, let alone on-point.

It is hilarious how offended you get when I call people out on their ridiculous complaints and constant bitching. Some are so bad on here I do not even know why they bother with gaming anymore.

BF3 is pretty but it miss a lot in team play. I switched to PlanetSide 2 till they make battlefield back a truly team based game.
 
Glad to see there are CoD and BF3 Fan bois all over every forum on the internet. I play both games and have to say my play style is suited more for the run and gun of call of duty but I prefer BF3 for the atmosphere and players (less whiney bitchy kids). I'm not real sure how people are complaining about a pre alpha gameplay video, for one its of single player and it was done to show off the games NEXT GEN features.

The beginning scene of them in a car upside down reminded me of the crappy final fantasy CGI movie ....it looked that good or better.

In the end I understand to a point people bitching, but when people complain that everything THEY want is not in the game they are showing how selfish/entitled they feel they are. Sorry these companies are not catering to YOU. Ug I don't even know where to start or where to end this rant .....but jesus I agree with XvMMvX i'm so sick of hearing a bunch of immature BS about how bad a game is .... this includes like 80% of the gaming cimmunity currently playing BF3 and/or MW3 and constantly bitching abut how terrible of a game they are, then you take a look at their game profiles to see they have hundreds and hundreds of hours played .....played in a game which they feel is injust, unfair and garbage. This never has nor will make sense to me. Seriously WTF

What "next gen" features? Please list some.

To me it looks identical to BF3 "technically".

Maybe don't hang out on a gaming forum if you don't want opinions about games? :rolleyes:

It's equally irritating listing to people bitch about people bitching. Possibly even moreso since sometimes people complaining about games actually have valid complaints.

There is a proper way to voice those complaints. Most of the time, it's the same people going into every thread and posting what may as well be "Wow this looks like shit lol whoever buys this is some kind of moron", or ridiculously hostile posts. What kind of discussion does that generate? It ends up turning the thread into a flamefest, look at both BF4 threads, the D3 thread or even the BF3 pre-release one. Most other gaming forums wouldn't tolerate it and a ton of people would be banned for shitposting.

This is why it becomes complaining about complainers. It kills off any decent discussion that could have happened.

Exactly. We get it, you think it's a console port and everyone who buys it is dumb. What feedback are you looking for, exactly?
