Battlefield 3 confirmed in development

Yes it’s true,
this is the official and only statement I will give about BF3:

“DICE can confirm that Battlefield 3 is currently in development but at this stage we have no further comments to add.”

—————

But even better news is that we had a good playtest on Battlefield 1943 PC today and I am getting a lot of great feedback from my fellow hardcore PC players here at DICE!

    You don’t know how good it feels to know that BF3 is real. I trust you guys at DICE, you are pros on the PC.

    I honestly hope its for consoles as well. I mean as long as PC gets its proper version, let us console guys get a taste as well!

      I don’t hope so, sorry.
      I hope that BF3 will be a PC only game, bringing back skill and motivation to PC online gaming.
      A huge community is eagerly waiting for this.
      You simply can’t do a complex game for consoles, your amount of buttons on the controllers simply don’t allow it. :-)

    Its my site and that particular link is about devs and ps3′s?
    what do u think it is?

    • Gustav says:

      Nice reading, But I cant give you any technical answers I’m sorry.
      But it is very true that Sony have said they did made the platform hard to develop for, dont ask me why, seems like a weird thing to do =)

      But developing for the PC and X360 is pretty much the same thing, but then making it for the PS3 is a whole new platform which makes the development cost go up really high.
      But games will become better and better on the PS3 (and x360) the more games the company makes.

      I think the reason that Valve is not supporting the PS3 themself is that they went really late into the console generation since they didnt focus anything on console before the orange box. And now since PS3 is the console with the least customers right now and that it is very expensive for them to kick start the PS3 development now they just dont do it.

    thanks very much for the answers – i do appreciate it.

    • Gustav says:

      Yep, and to add to that they dont “need” the console (ps3).
      everyone is moving to digital media now, and lets be honest, they OWN digital media on PC.
