The enjoyment gamers get from EA and DICE’s Battlefield 3 will not be determined by how high or low the framerate is, brand manager Kevin O’Leary has told Kotaku.
Much has been made of Battlefield 3’s 30 frames per second visuals on consoles, compared to a steady 60fps for Modern Warfare 3, but O’Leary says it doesn’t matter.
“How do you deliver the best all-out war experience,” O’Leary said. “It’s 30 frames per a second on console, but we have destruction, vehicles, a new animation system.”
He added: “It’s not about a number. It’s about the full experience.”
O’Leary is also of the belief that a lot of gamers will snap up both Battlefield 3 and Modern Warfare 3, with each game offering something different.
“People can go for this sort of first-person shooter or that first-person shooter or say ‘Do I want both?'” he said. “We expect that a lot of people will go for both.”
Earlier this week it was reported that console gamers shouldn’t worry about the Battlefield 3 framerate. Last week analyst firm Cowen & Company upped its estimate for first-year Battlefield 3 sales from 8 million to 11 million.
Battlefield 3 will be released October 28 for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC. Modern Warfare 3 launches a few weeks later on November 8.
