EA Unleashes 17 Minute Battlefield 4 Drool Worthy Gameplay Video

Updated: March 26, 2013

Hot off the press, EA, this evening unleashed upon us a 17 minute “Fishing in Baku” Battlefield 4 gameplay video. Powered by the Frostbite 3 engine, the gameplay looks fantastic. Textures are smooth, lightning looks beautiful and overall, from what we’ve seen thus far, the storyline looks great as well.

At around 14 minutes into the trailer, we see a soldier have his leg amputated by his fellow brothers in order to save himself and you really catch an idea of how quickly we are sucked into the realism of the game. The details of the fire and the texture of the sparks flying as the scene builds up really showcases of Battlefields 4′s graphics and I for one, cannot wait to play this on PC. Battlefield is headed to PC this fall with a BETA release and pre-orders have already begun. You can view the trailer in it’s entirety below, right after the break!

“The game made its world debut today with a staggering 17-minute gameplay demo, available for view at Battlefield.com. The demo begins as the player – Recker – opens his eyes to discover that he is trapped in a rapidly sinking car with three of his squad mates. Shooting the window is the only way out. Panic and fear are pushed aside as Recker makes a difficult decision – take the shot and recover the intel but risk that not everyone will survive. The emotional demo features a cast of characters unrivaled in interactive entertainment. Players will learn how to work together in both the Campaign and Multiplayer, issuing squad orders and comparing achievements in both experiences. Adventure and Competition will unfold through a series of beautifully crafted locations constructed with some of the best art and sound design in modern shooters.”

“We are so humbled and proud to debut Battlefield 4 on a global stage with simultaneous events in San Francisco and Stockholm. To be this early in development, and to already be so polished is a huge achievement for the DICE team and reflection of their passion and commitment to driving the franchise forward. Today’s demo was just the beginning — we have so much more in store,” said Patrick Soderlund, Executive Vice President, EA Games Label. “It is thrilling to witness peoples’ reaction when seeing the game for the first time. It really makes you realize that we are at the beginning of a whole new era for gaming. As artists and craftspeople, we are focused on creating a dynamic, open design that brings people together with amazing, surprising unscripted moments that they’ll talk about for days. That’s the beauty of Battlefield.”
