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!

CG looks nice... but in-game grafic is what we would like to see :)

Good job!

lmao ... i love the fanboys that fall in love with a game by seeing simply 1 screen shot of a game with no back story or any information on it.

I see jaggies therefore it's ingame. Plus who ever claims this to be CG is wrong.

this looks like those dx10 shader examples....could this be a dx10 game??

It could be DX10. The 360 has partial support for it, but I'm not sure if the developers would spend so much time using DX10(which is fairly undocumented in comparison to DX9) when the PS3 is uncapable of using the shaders.

This looks very good though, reminds me of the Crysis/CryEngine2 face demos. I agree with kuriyama too... jaggies are visible, which indicates it's in-game. They're definately possible...

Good job!

I've circled some things that show it's not CGI.

ya dx10 allows for some unbelievable effects but with the ps3 not being dx10 compatabile i don't think they are gonna use it :(... 360 has mostly dx10 support (missing some small stuff but then again it has some stuff beyond dx10 like the unified shaders and the daughter die)

It's very possibly ingame but no way to tell for sure. Just remember, it's amazing what good shaders can do :)

After playing FNR3, i believe EA could pull this kind of amazing graphics easily, anybody remember before when alot of EA bashers used to be calling FNR3 graphics CG ^_~
That's, untill it came out for real =D

I read that this game is supposed to have 90% destructable enviroment (did i spell destructable right?). If thats true, its gonna be very interesting. Red Faction still has the most destructable enviroment even though it old game.
