Electronic Arts announced today the development of a new episode of the famous Battlefield series, called Battlefield: Bad Company. As always developed by DiCE using an in-house engine, this Battlefield should be much more story driven, with much more emphasis on the characters. First screen inside!

Those Battlefield games are so addicting I never even notice the graphics. But it's nice to know the game looks good! Killzone WHAT?! ;)

that doesnt mean that is in game , CGI can also have jaggies.

and again EA bunch of lazy bastards , they reuse code in every game.

EA is not making this game... Did Microsoft make Halo? DICE are developing this game, as with BF2... CGI usually doesn't have jaggies considering they usually set their sights for a higher level of quality... people saying this is CG are insulting CG.

I'm really glad dx10 is not very backwards compatible with dx9 games, hopefully it will push a bit more devs into using dx10.

Jaggies on CG would have to be done on purpose, since the entire video/image is prerendered just as a person wants it. Who would purposefully make jaggies?

of course its CG,... we all know the 360 isn't capable of that level of detail right?

I can't say if it's real of CG, it looks that great

If only call of duty 3 looked this great, i love the call of duty series

it's not CG, but it's also not going to look 100% this good in the end so don't get your hopes up.

How can you say that? The pictures very obviously show a background environment that could easily be played in, so there's a strong chance it's not just a model render. Besides, it's the damn Xbox360, it's one of the most powerful pieces of hardware on the Earth right now. A game this early in it's lifespan will look like ass compared to games in a couple years.

This is definately not CG. THere is noticable aliasing on both the models and the self-shadows. These screens are spectacular looking for a video game, but dreadful for CG.

"And stop comparing a game released shortly after 360 was launched with a game going to be released a year or two after, cookie, see GOW, Mass Effect and Unreal tournament 2007 for more information.
It appears you have a very low faith in what Next-Generation means."

Lol while those games look good and all the characters have nowhere near the detail and realism of FNR3. Why is it so hard for you to grasp the concept that less stuff going on means better graphics. And if you want you can compare them to FNR4 when it comes which will blow them away.

And you can't even claim UT2007 as its not even in development for 360.

Computers 2 years ago were stronger than the Xbox was too, but yet it still runs Half Life 2 and Doom 3 pretty well. Not perfectly, but for a system with only 64megs of RAM, you can't complain.

Compare your 1900xt to the 360 GPU, and you'll find that your card doesn't stand a chance right now.
The extra RAM is nice for a PC, but on a console it's much easier to use.
As for your Intel, don't even bother comparing a dual core to a custom-made tri core. Not to mention it's an Intel *my fanboy comment for the week*
