The issue of Battlefield 3′s frame rate and resolution is a storm in a
teacup, according to DICE boss Karl Magnus Troedsson.“Console gamers
shouldn’t worry about this, this topic is discussed out of proportions,”
Troedsson told GamingExaminer of the news that the console version of
Battlefield 3 will run at 30 fps at a resolution of 720.
“For those tech-savvy enough to have looked into the actual resolution
of their console games it won’t come as a surprise that a lot of console
games today do not run at 1080p but rather 720p,” he said.
“When people ask for 1080p they don’t see the compromises that would be
needed to get there. As for the frame-rate we’ve made a conscious
decision to stick with 30 FPS on console. It’s not a technical problem
with getting our game to run in 60 FPS but we do this in favor of the
large amount of players, large scale maps, huge amount of vehicles, full
on destruction and so on.”
Full on destruction, eh? Troedsson said Battlefield 3 will feature more
destrictible environments.
“One key element of the destruction which will take a big step forward
in Battlefield 3 comes from the denser, more urban environments we
introduce,” he explained.
“In these you can take down the facades of huge buildings and expose or
take out the enemies entrenched on the different floors.”
The PC version of Battlefield 3 will support full HD resolution and
manage 60 fps – as will the console versions of rival call of Duty:
Modern Warfare 3.
Of the battle between the two shooter heavyweights, Troedsson said only
that “it’s going to be an interesting autumn” and that DFIC would be
content is “the people who play the game tell us that they enjoy it”.
Battlefield 3 is due on PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in late October.
