Battlefield 3 demoed on PS3

DICE Executive producer Patrick Bach previously said that the Battlefield 3 team is "focusing on PC first, and then we fiddle with it to fit it onto consoles." Well, now we can see what the fiddling looks like.

As part of Video Game Week on NBC's Late Night program, Jimmy Fallon debuted the first-ever footage of Battlefield 3 running on a console. Played on a PS3, the console version appears to maintain much of the look of the lead version. It looks terrific for years-old hardware, and will certainly be more than "good enough" visually when it releases. But let's not forget that DICE's Karl Magnus Troedsson told us that "now it's time to give some extra love to the PC community."

Note: Video playback is restricted to America.

      Not that I hate, just having my account hacked made me realize that maybe putting all eggs in one basket is not a good thing, and with every Steam client update, it seems to be getting slower for me. Plus like I said, competition should, i hope, only make things better.
