Its literally going gold this month....They'll be working hard on it, but remember it takes 4 weeks to sign, press and distribute a AAA game.
About the Dev kits, that's not an issue, games will still be shown on dev kits next E3 on both PS4 and XB1, It's just the way it works.
About the controller? I've heard it's a step back form the x360 controller, but it's still a very good controller. though I've only heard that form friends, Haven't had hands on myself yet.
I just think the battlefield guys greatly over estimated the next gen hardware when making this game.
I hope the ps4 version does not suffer as well.
I also hope it's not a frostbite 3 issue... Because I want da3 to shine.
MS spent $100m dollar to ruin X360 good controller. they should have kept everything the same and just replace the d-pad.
That would have cost $3
There were people concerned about somethings about it, but not out right hate it like this person.
There isn't. I think it is the TV, but I could be wrong.
That's because they're not.

Only signed software runs on actual hardware. They will be showing off the game on dev kits until it goes gold and actual retail discs are pressed.
Also what they are showing now isn't necessarily where they are in development as of now. The builds they show are usually atleast a couple months old. There's a process which I can get extrapolate on if people are interested. I'm feeling lazy though.
While I am getting worried, those are isolated impressions it seems. Still getting my hands on during the Road Show and see for myself. Mind you there are also people that don#t like the 360 pad triggers and bumpers.
Gamescom impression thread have a lot of complain about it.... the impression are mixed here in GAF... some loved and some hated. The only coincidence is that in both sides loved the 360 controller.Who else had a bad opinion of the controller? He's the first one I've ever heard of.
There's way too many factors in play for me to really speculate about it so I won't try to. I'm in wait and see mode right now. If the build they bring to the launch event is crap then we'll know the deal.Yeah, it's not final but the fact that it looks and sounds terrible at this point is pretty worrying and suggests that they might be rushing it out.
Tight sticks are horrible imo. It's so much easier to play FPS games with the PS3 pad for that reason.Only thing I'm worried about concerning the controller is that I've heard a few times from some of our very own here that the sticks far less tighter than those on the 360. My biggest complaint about the DS3 are how loose the sticks feel, while the biggest praise on the 360 controller are the tightness of the sticks.
I dearly hope those impressions were exaggerations.

Massive day 1 patching incoming

Each his own I guess, I perform 10x better in shooters on my 360 than on my PS3 and I attribute a lot of that to the sticksTight sticks are horrible imo. It's so much easier to play FPS games with the PS3 pad for that reason.
Nope sorry, I'm not buying those controller impressions. I'll see for myself.
Dice have never been very good at optimizing for consoles. I wouldn't be surprised one bit if the PS4 version is shoddy too.
Hardly the first negative impression someone has had of the XBO controller. A number of people I've seen have said that the bumpers are really bad. Not exactly glowing praise here though. That lag is pretty horrific, but is that a hardware or a software issue?

Yeah. I don't know where this stranger's agendas lie.
[*]Knack (also watch my video of its horrible FPS drops)
They are super loose, maybe not Dual Shock 3 loose but fairly close. The triggers feel odd when there isn't any rumble/resistance in them (though feeling the tyres lock in Forza was nice) and the bumpers are SUPER clicky and cheap. From everyone I spoke to last week at Eurogamer Expo who used both everyone preferred the DS4.
Edit: For reference loved 360 pad. Absolutely hated the DS3.

First bad impression I read about the XBO controller.
I've never felt frostbites efficiency is good on pc or console. PS3's BF's were marred by the poor framerate, a good fps I happen to think is important in a shooter. I personally think Frostbite is overrated, very nice visuals produced but not as efficiently as it probably should.
Have you played the PC beta version yet lol.
I was going to give them the benefit of the doubt regarding PC, because of course some people can just overpower their unoptimized code.
But yeah, I've always felt Dice's work on Battlefield was shoddy and sloppy in many ways. It's one of the biggest reasons I've never been that impressed by their games. Say what you want about COD and Infinity Ward, but those guys deliver a polished experience day one. The framerate is solid, there is no screen tearing, the gameplay is tight, and the servers almost always work.
I have heard plenty of positive impressions about the X1 controller.

Don't seem to lie anywhere (at the moment).
