first, here's the link - ME will be using Frostbite 3 for next title, not 2 as previously thought

Now here's the demo
Honestly, this does not look very next gen to me, and is quite underwhelming.
Thoughts?
It's not so much the fact that the "free appetizer" in your analogy doesn't come with the meal for free that annoys me as much as how overpriced this "free appetizer" is when it's not "Happy Hour/Early Bird Special time"Sidney wrote...
It isn't a problem then. How it is a "tax" I can't understand. You are arguing that someone is taking that which you never had. Can't be. The pre-order bonus is nothing more than a Happy Hour/Early Bird special where they toss in a free appetizer or something.bobobo878 wrote...
It isn't really a problem when they just inclue an extra suit of armor or an extra weapon, but when they include an entire $10-20 expansion, the likes of which you could get just by getting the game new, it just becomes a tax on waiting for reviews before buying.
Most games the reviews are a day in advance. I do not know how steam/amazon works but at brick n' mortar stores I will drop a pre-order and if the reviews stink (Aliens:CM) I just cancel it so I'm not sure how the pre-order changes things much unless there is no way to stop a Steam order.

Pre-order bonuses are more then just EA, there has been enough tossed around for Assassin's Creed 3, BioShock: Infinite, Tomb Raider, Borderlands 2, Defiance, and more. I generally ignore the pre-order bonuses simply because I have no interest in the extra items, but for the people that would get the DLC anyway I don't see anything wrong with it.

Well, there are a few gaming journalists I trust more than others, but I also like to wait for peer feedback.billy the squid wrote...
And many commercial reviewers are wh0res. Are you ever going to be told how good it was, truthfully? Not when their client is stuffing proverbial dollar bills into their thong.

I'm curious to know why the Frostbite engine, over other engines. IE, CE3 or UE4?
and @ MrDBow, That'd be great if the whole game looked like that, but to date, no game uses the same tech to play with as it does its cutscenes. Even if their the on the same engine. Playing a bik file is MUCH less resource intensive than maxing an engine on the fly.
Current consoles can't. The new PS might be able to for a while, but consoles are no more than propriatary computers for gaming (and some social). And really they have to be these days.
I'm rather pleased really, the Console folks have always got the short end of the stick where visuals go and then they're told "it's AWESOME" and superior. : That is why us "PC'rs" have been yelling for so long. Because we know you've been duped. On the other hand, most hard core gaming rigs cost about 1K to build ... but I digress.

Honestly, this does not look very next gen to me, and is quite underwhelming. When Crytek, EA, Epic Games, etc. were showing off demos of their coming games in 2005 for next gen, I was quite taken aback, as were most. Killzone 4 even looks better than this, and it seemed like a very small step up from current gen.
Now that we recently found out through an accidental dev tweet that ME will be using this engine, what do you guys think? For me, there is definitely potential, but perhaps we are reaching a plateau in terms of graphical beauty. Thankfully BW games have more focus on story than crappy Call Of Fieldy Modern Battle games...
The best equivalency current gen would be ME1-Gears1.
Thoughts?
Having the next ME game on a new engine made my computer grow a big bohnar because us pc gamers are sick and tired of playing ports that are made from old-gen tech. ANY new addition is welcomed by the pc master race.

They are using FrostBite for it was developed by Dice which is another EA company.

Doubt it, the engine's not strong enough evidence. Other genre's outside of an FPS exist on Frostbite.LordRaptor wrote...
ME4 is probably going to be a FPS...
that shot showing the birds & huge buildings in the back was like planet jupiter, with massive alien structures, there are vehcles you can choose to drive possibly a hover bike a la Star Wars?! Your choice f you want to drive it, you could decide to suppress the enemy using your squad....while you pull out your N7crusader & blast a hole in the wall so you can flank the enemy...notice the debris your shotgun leaves in it's trail...also notice how the light dynamically seaps through that hole as if you were in an alternate reality?! Now that you have flanked the enemy...you decide to pull an enemy towards you the particle effect looks impressive & the physics kick in as his hopeless body flies through the air all made that bit more special with the new animations of him begging mid air not to kill him....and like a match to a flame you engulf his body with incinerate...the fire particles are as real as you have ever seen in a game & his body even turns to ashes before your very eyes....all of this possible because of FROSTBITE3.0!!

So my concern is that EA will save money, but also sacrifice and what they could have achieved in the same time UE. And it would be great to hear some honest feedback from the developers and designers on how switching to the new engine has influenced their workflow.
