Battlefield 3 will use black lines at the top and bottom of the display to maintain a 720p resolution on consoles.
Speaking to Digital Foundry on Twitter, DICE’s Johan Andersson “[Battlefield 3] is 1280×704 on both PS3 and 360″
“Removing a few lines from 720p saves good performance and memory for us.”
“We have tiny eight-pixel black bars that often are invisible due to overscan – scaling would just ruin the picture”
Many have been concerned that console performance of Battlefield 3 will lag far behind the PC’s, but DICE is clearly pushing out all the stops to ensure the game runs to its maximum potential.
Battlefield 3 is out on October 28th on PS3, PC and 360.
