Dice is wanting 60 FPS, epic 64 player battles in Battlefield 4 on the next gen consoles

Patrick Bach, the executive producer for Battlefield, spoke with Eurogamer and said, “We have a very complicated game with a lot of moving parts. We had to decide, yes, we will do this in 60FPS. Everything else is secondary."

“We know the game is great when you have 64 players and destruction, and if we could get what we had on PC for a long time in your living room with a pad, wouldn’t that be amazing? That’s what we’re aiming for.”

Today at the D11, CEO of Sony, Kaz Hirai stated the the PlayStation 4 was meant to be a gaming console first and a multimedia device second. He also states that the PlayStation 4 is meant to appeal to gamers and if they miss that part then they are missing one of their most crucial roles.

"The most important thing we need to make sure we do at least initially is that we all agree and understand that the PS4 is a great video game console that appeals to video gamers. If we miss that part then I don't think we get the initial establishment of the console," said Hirai. "We take a look at this first and foremost as a game console."
