I have both on order. Somebody said earlier in the thread that you can digitally upgrade from the ps3 version to the ps4 one for just a few quid. If that turns out to be corect that's what I will be doing.

Good idea, buy it for the PS3 and then you have a month to get some practice in before switching over to the PS4.

I remember the olden days when this thread used to always be on the first page! I just hope that in the next era of video gaming a similar thread, titled BF4, will rise, Phoenix-like from the ashes! fk Xbox !
I certainly hope we have a resurrection otherwise how the hell am I going to find 32 other players for matches! Already have our first PS4 match tentatively agreed against our old mates at Cobra, I can’t wait.

And Sway when are you starting the BF4/PS4 thread or are you waiting for this one to get to 200 pages first?!

I saw something like that flash up on the screen when I played the game last night.

I'll try and get on. Been months! That's if I'm still awake - arrived home from eight days working away on one of the work dinghies - http://www.pocruises.com/Cruise-Ships/Ventura/Ship...

Judge, I'm on midsized pages, so currently on 99 on my screen. Think my second most successful thread only reached about five! May have to start the bf4/ps4 thread soon - or tell the mods if anyone does it before me!

Commuting now, for the first time in years (apart from the last week), bloody awesome, and means I'll be able to get some serious time into bf4. Will be able to admin and help organise matches too.

Who's best to preorder from?

Yep, stats and progress come across from PS3 to PS4 too. smile

I think I've finally exhausted pretty much everything there is to do on BF3, so looking forward to some new challenges in BF4 - doubt I'll have anywhere near as much time to play 4 as I did 3 though. frown

Whereas I should have more time to play.

Might actually achieve positive k/d and w/l this time round.

Won't count on it though!

I'm really torn about what to do with BF4.

I've ordered my PS4, so that should come on release day. However I don't know if playing the PS3 version of BF4 (getting confusing now) will 'ruin' it for me, or if the change from ps3 - 4 will make the 4 look even better.

Undecided.

To be honest I don't think there is going to be as much difference between the PS3 and PS4 version as people are expecting. BF4 on the PS3 is an end of life title which means they have had lots of practice at getting games to fully utilise the hardware. Just compare a first gen game when the PS3 first came out to any of the current crop and they are worlds apart, whereas BF4 on the PS4 is a launch title so I suspect we'll just get slightly prettier graphics and a higher player count.

However I will still buy it on the PS3 and then upgrade as it's only a tenner to change up and more importantly I don't want to be a month behind when it get's released on the PS4.

I see your logic, but BF3 wasn't only produced for consoles - it was produced for PCs too with significantly better graphics and player count, so I am hoping that BF4 on the PS4 will be a huge leap compared to BF3 on the PS3.

I'm with you on getting it for the PS3 first, for £10 it's a no brainer in terms of unlocking weapons etc and getting map knowledge for a month with everyone being a noob, compared to coming in a month after a lot of people and having to catch up.

Haven't played GTA since Vice City - worthwhile getting it for the little while until ps4?

Yup! It's awesome! BF3 may get a bit dusty and not just because of GTA, new arrival due on the 28th

Congrats fella, your first?

Seems that bf4 headsets will be filled with the sound of crying, sure there's a few with new arrivals recently/imminent.

At least that'll drown out my sobs as Pexy knifes me for the umpteenth time!

Not this time. I'm brushing up on my counter knifing skills.

You guys need to get on War Thunder, as BF4 looks to be heading towards more like COD i reckon WT will take over the mantel - for those who havent played it but remember the original 1942 on PC, its going to be like this i reckon
