[NTMBK]

But Vulkan is the evolution of Mantle, and their engine already had Mantle support.

vulkan is opengl with mantle

and given their records with opengl i wouldnt be optimistic for it to work at all

 

[TeknoBug]

Spend 2 weeks standing in a trench ankle deep in sh*t and the decomposing guts of the last poor sod to be stationed there, then get gassed and choke to death on your own lung tissue. FUN

I remember that phrase, from a book or something.

They also want to support Win 7/8 and not only W10.

Vulkan can do that, and not require much code changes and the engine design can stay the same. DX11 is a huge shift from a well designed DX12 / Vulkan engine. Going DX12 & Vulkan allows them to have much wider audience as well as a performance focused engine.

the problem with 7/8 isnt really dx12 or 11 or whatever
but the poorly written wddm1.0 now if microsoft could port the 2.0 into 7 or 8 that would have been great..

but if they do so then there is no point on staying on windows 10..

I think Johan had tweeted that they were at least working with Vulkan and DX12 enough to do feasibility tests.

Hoping that on spawn you hear a whisper "Dulce et decorum est" and when you die it whispers "pro patria mori".

 

[Denithor]

Well that name is terrible, should have just called it Battlefield.

I'm guessing the name is a play on the whole World War ONE thing. And because there was already a game called Battlefield.

The sequel will be called Battlefield TWO. Based in WWII.

And then either a "save the world from nuclear terrorists" or a post-apocalyptic survivor free-for-all called Battlefield THREE.

It is kinda cool, going back to the roots aka BF1942. Which was a tremendously fun game.

IMO, now that would be a true FPS sim on steroids... the one few folks would buy. Rather almost like an Arma 5 nightmare of boredom/Minecraft'ish Meh.....

 

[Midwayman]

Why not Battlefield 1911?

First WWI started on July 28, 1914.... and also most of the automatic weapons they want to put in the game were 1918 models. It almost certainly will be a 1918 game.

 

[AtenRa]

Best thing in the game will be to ride a horse and outrun the tanks

 

[NTMBK]

WW1 was certainly a bonkers mix of weapon technology. Chemical weapons and cavalry charges.

 

[Worthington]

The horse is screwed.

 

[guskline]

WW I game is intriguing!

WW1 was certainly a bonkers mix of weapon technology. Chemical weapons and cavalry charges.

It's part of why I love the idea of going back. There's room for a lot more interesting variety than semi/bolt sniper, lmg and automatic weapon of some description.

 

[Killer_Croc]

Air battles were much more entertaining using WWI / WWII aircraft imo.

Agreed but not enough bombers and strategic aircraft. I didn't even see any Russian or Central Power aircraft besides Entente hardware primarily.

Sure, but to keep it realistic you just keep it beside you for the first three hours of a round, and then drop it when you get shot in the head by a machine gun exiting your trench.

 

[guskline]

Played a WW I SIM Rise OF Flight and enjoyed it. BF 1 is a definite buy.

Of Course, of Course

Unless his name is Mr. Ed!:thumbsup:

There hasn't been a game called just "Battlefield" - the first one was Battlefield 1942. There has, however, already been a game called "Battlefield 2" as shown below
