Um on PC? Frostbite 2 is a better engine than Beths creation engine. Its supports DX11 and makes use of tesselation to smooth out a lot of the models. Also the game has higher texture resolutions. Its an all around more efficient more well coded engine. The creation engine is a bloated POS from 2002. Frostbite 2 is much more modern and makes use of current hardware.

Some people in this thread might find http://blogs.amd.com/play/2011/12/12/bf3techinterview/ interesting.

I watched Saving Private Ryan the other day. Why do the graphics in Saving Private Ryan look so much better? I mean, Tom Hanks' head looks so real. How come BF3 isn't that good? Everything else is just as good as everything else in every other aspect of the world, so why is BF3 so inferior to so many other things?

I was actually being sarcastic but I guess it didn't come across. We have BF3 for the PS3. My point is that they didn't just develop BF3 for the PC so that is such a silly argument. They make way more money from the Console market than the PC market even though the PC is superior. There are just more gamers on consoles because of the cost and ease of use. PC elitists need to get over it and realize the consoles are here to stay. I love PC gaming but it is just so much more care free to play on a console. I never have any issues like I've had with my PC's. For many games I don't feel any advantage playing them on PC except a bit better graphic quality but that's not a major issue for me.

Skyrim's graphics are fine. The artistic design behind them is quite beautiful. BF3 looks fantastic as well but it's a different style of gaming that is shooting for a more realistic, modern feel. There's just not really much point in comparing the two games. And for the PC people, modders will enhance all the graphics in Skyrim to a point where most PC's won't even run the game.

I do not have a problem with console gaming at all it is the fact they are what 8 years old?.It is ridiculous they have not got the next generation consoles out now.Lets be honest here the Xbox is holding developers back.I would not have a problem if developers took the time needed to actually do prober optimizations for the PC instead of all these straight console ports.I understand it is all about dollars signs for developers but it is morally wrong to give PC gamers a game slightly better version than it's console counterpart when it could be alot better.

Console limitations.

Dice designed around PC, then scaled it down for consoles. BSG designed around console, and then very very slightly scaled up for PC.



I mean for christ sakes, it doesn't even have dx11 effects.

In the campaign? Yes. In the multiplayer? NOOOOOO!!!

Nothing to do with Skyrim.
