Battlefield 3 : Faultlines



If it's wrong to be calling Battlefield 3 game of the year material this early, we don't want to right.


Getting motion in a video game right is a bloody giant challenge. With all the clock-cycles in the world, and years of development, CG characters are only just now starting to look and move real, and even then they often look their worst when they try and interact with their environment.
Games, by comparison, would seem to have no chance in this regard - which is why the latest trailer for Battlefield 3 is so damn jaw-dropping.
And it's a gameplay trailer to boot! Just check out the way the soldiers get out of their APC, or they way they weave as they run through that back alley. It's perfect - no foot-gliding at all. They look absolutely a part of their environment.
Oh, and the action looks pretty tight, too - it's all campaign play, by the way. Check it out.
