Battlefield Hardline will be stable day one, says Visceral
Battlefield Hardline developers at Visceral confirmed that the PC version of Hardline will be the best one and not just a port from another console, reassuring fans of the series who had a bitter taste with Battlefield 4’s launch that Hardline is a different story.
“Stability has been one of the largest areas we’re focusing our attention at Visceral while developing Hardline. I think we can all agree that Battlefield 4’s stability at launch was less than stellar,” said Mike Glosecki one of the game’s producers.
Mike continued to talk on Battlefield’s website about how many tests were held to be sure of the stability of multiplayer components and the quality of the game’s servers for online matches, the Beta phases played a huge role in ironing the experience as well.
As for the PC version of the game, Mike mentioned that he’s a hardcore PC gamer himself and that he views the platform as the best out there. Which led the development team to take advantage of everything the system has to offer.
“We’re doing what we can to take advantage of people’s different system with the graphics, framerate, controls, etc. We’re not just porting it over. Battlefield started on the PC with 1942 and we know we have a passionate fan base on this platform,” he added.
“You can play at much higher resolutions, 1920×1080 and beyond up to the capabilities of your video card. You can also use much higher graphic settings on PC – which you gives you the best texture filtering, texture quality, and anti-aliasing in addition to other benefits.
“You can adjust your field of view or run higher than 60 FPS if you choose. You can even play with a three monitor setup for an immersive experience. Lastly, you get to use a mouse and keyboard which gives you the best control setup for a first person shooter.”
Battlefield Hardline releases on PC, PS4/3 and Xbox One/360 March 17.
