The Gamers Guide To Mantle

[shankly1985]

I expect at least some sort of graphics update and more gameplay elements, not just new maps, weapons and vehicles!

So has new things like zip line, handcuffs etc you not playing or played full game so how can you say?

 

[Final8y]

Is it just me that feels this should just be DLC and not a stand alone game? Especially the way EA/Dice have shafted us on BF4 glitches/bugs/being Alpha testers.

Sounds like a good idea.

Wow handcuffs, much nextgen, such zipline, very amaze

It all adds to a package worthy off a full release. Just because it has battlefield look to it don't mean it should be dlc.

I was just jesting with that comment

I guess we'll see what happens with it over the next few weeks/months, might have a play of the Beta -but Origin is screwed due to so many people online after EA conference now I think.

Personally I'm looking forward to more news on Mass Effect 4 more than any other EA published game.

Think I'll give this next BF a miss, besides it looks like there are no tanks. No tanks -> No buy

My thoughts exactly. Tanks needed

Got into the Hardline beta lol

Orign is being hammered

 

[AlamoX]

they brought in visceral for the solo compaign, and ppl from criterion to work on cars and driving, dice on multiplayer.
ofc this shouldn't be a DLC it's a complete game with solo story line and quality acting/voices then you have multiplayer with heist co-op, am excited about the game .
sooo frustrated about mass effect 4, was hoping for more content and closer release date, same goes for star wars, they have been talking for over a year about these 2 games and nothing to show for but a making of...
registered for hardline beta, but no email so far...

During EA’s Battlefield E3 event – that is currently under way – the big publisher confirmed that Battlefield: Hardline will support AMD’s Mantle. This come as no surprise given the fact that most Frostbite 3 games will support AMD’s API, but it’s still good to get a confirmation about it.

Looks good and should be epic mantle enabled

I'm assuming netcode, hit detection and general stability will still be every bit as bad as BF4 remains, though? Unless they're planning a massive update to BF4 prior / to coincide ..

Coming from mates who playing the beta now hit reg is very good they say.
Have you also not played bf4 since last patch? Hit reg is now much better now.
Also just because this is frostbite don't mean it's running on the same network as dice used.

Double post. Phone gone mad

Haven't played for a while, probably 2-3 months ... numerous promised improvements earlier on didn't amount to much, and some of the people I know who still play like to complain about it a lot.

Guess I'll update it and have a go, especially as Mantle compliance on driver and client side have both been updated significantly.

 

[LtMatt]

Tick rate has been improved 40% or so. It's made a big difference. It's not perfect, don't think it ever will be but it is massively improved.

Told ya.

 

[oldestgregg]

I like the look of this but I cant buy it on principle that the last game isnt even fully fixed yet and and has only just been patched to try and fix the problems its had since launch.

 

[LtMatt]

Three new Mantle titles, though i think most of us knew these were coming. Now officially announced.



Battlefield Hardline
Dragon Age Inquisition
Plants Vs Zombies
Civilization: Beyond Earth *previously announced


E3 2014: EA, AMD Announces Mantle Support For Multiple Upcoming Titles

Alright, putting my fanboyism back in the closet for now, winning different types of games is actually critical to AMD's plan of pushing broad Mantle adoption across the PC ecosystem. The number of BF4 players who will also play Battlefield Hardline is fairly high -- but the gamers that buy Civilization: Beyond Earth or Dragon Age: Inquisition may never touch a Battlefield title. Driving Mantle adoption in non-FPS games is the best way to ensure it sweeps across a variety of market segments.

AMD: More Mantle Games Are On The Way

Hello PC gaming fans! With the recent announcement of widespread availability of the entire AMD Radeon™ R9 Series graphics lineup at original suggested list prices, there could hardly be a better time to get your game on with AMD. This week we’re focusing on one of the AMD Radeon R9 Series graphics cards’ most compelling attributes: Mantle API support. Mantle is already enjoying rapid industry adoption, but there are a few recent developments that are once again causing Mantle to make news in the media:

On March 19 we announced a technology partnership that will add Mantle support to CRYENGINE® — the game engine behind blockbuster titles like Crysis and FarCry.

On March 20 Microsoft announced DirectX® 12, the next major evolution of its own game API. This is terrific news because it really draws attention to the value of low-level programming and Mantle’s leading contribution. With DirectX 12 games still over 18 months away and no alternatives in sight for Linux gamers, Mantle’s future looks bright.

On April 14 we announced that the upcoming release of Sid Meier’s Civilization®: Beyond Earth will support Mantle. In case you’re not familiar with the series, the current iteration is Civilization V, which, despite being nearly four years old, remains the sixth most played game according to Steam1. With Mantle in its arsenal, the next installment could be even bigger.

On April 16 we published a Mantle whitepaper, giving developers and enthusiast gamers a deep, technical insight into the technology. Have a look to find out how Mantle delivers such dramatic performance increases.

On May 1 we launched the Mantle SDK beta, which made Mantle available to a much greater number and variety of game developers. That should help accelerate the proliferation of Mantle-enabled game titles.

On June 9 EA announced that three of its upcoming games would support Mantle: Battlefield Hardline, Dragon Age Inquisition and Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare. Each of these brings new features, maps and gameplay to already-popular franchises. If the results we saw with Mantle in Battlefield 4 are anything to go by, these games should absolutely fly on AMD Radeon™ hardware.
