(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); How about that Frostbite 3 engine, right? It has all of the polygons and textures and physics in one package, allowing EA's various developers to make pretty video games like Battlefield 4. While I believe my description should suffice, the bros at EA DICE would like to give a little closer look at the tech they're using in their upcoming first person shooter. They're basically just extrapolating on what I said already, though.

Here are some of the big features they detail:


  • One unified program that runs on everything from an iPhone to a next-gen console

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  • "Seamless Reality" Engine controls wind, effects trees swaying Engine controls waves

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  • "Game Changing Destruction" Debris that crumbles More particles "Levelution" which changes the landscape of a level, for example a building crumbling

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  • "Dynamic Ocean Combat" Networked water simulation, so players see the same wave in the same location at the same time No longer swimming on a flat surface, swimming effected by waves Objects like a crashing jet will change the surface of the water, debris will float

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  • "More Immersive Storytelling" Emotionally believable characters Focus on eyes, subsurface scatter models, parallax animation in the iris

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is a look at Frostbite 3 and how Battlefield 4 uses it, but the devs want to not that since Need for Speed Rivals, Command and Conquer, Dragon Age Inquisition and other games also use the engine it will have a diversity and depth like nothing before. That sounds a bit like over-promising to me, but if it means great looking games and more immersive experiences who am I to criticize.





Battlefield 4 launches October 29 on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC, but then will come to next-gen consoles Xbox One and PlayStation 4 when they launch
