Browsing through the threads I got a question:
Anyone getting this on PC? It seems like a good number of you guys are running off laptops and old PCs. (Particularly the can you run it thread. I'm surprised that site still exists.)
I built a PC to play BF3 and it's a great experience but if you guys will resort to console it will sway my purchase.
I want to play the new swbf with the OGs. :)
I refuse to get the new Battlefront on console. I'll have a new computer by then as well so I hope to purchase it.
Hoping to get a better and more powerful computer (still debating over laptop/desktop), to play the new Battlefront. This laptop I have is a pile of junk really, though it seems to amaze me at the games it can play, and the games it can't play. Either way, I hope to have a powerful computer at least a few weeks before the game release (thinking about pre-ordering it too :D).
Why no console some might say? Because of these two reasons:
1. I don't got a whole lot of money to blow monthly (meaning I wouldn't be able to pay for Xbox Live)
2. I don't got a screen to myself besides my computer/iDevices/cell phone (Would hog the TV WAY too much)
PC or nothing ;)
PC or die
I'll get it on PC (probably with anew graphics card) so I can play with all of you. :)
I might get it on PS4 as well if there's splitscreen.
I would get it first on PC but then get it for 360 or if i suddenly found on the side of the road 500 bucks, a One
Long term plan is to get a Macbook (Air maybe) and run bootcamp to play. Or I might get lucky and get a Mac port!
If the game doesn't look appealing to me than probably not gonna buy and stick with SWBFI/SWBFII (if I still play games!)...(that's a lot of "ifs")
Man this is someting i just dont know about yet. I was thinking of actually getting a console when this game rrleased so i could play with my friends. At the same time the community, addons (probs not a factor in this game), and control options make playing on pc really fun. Plus would want to play with all u swbf players. I might just get the game forboth???. Ill have to check back in a year and decide.

This happnened to me when I went to return the uhaul that I had used to move in the beginning of the month. It was a good day.
I'll opt for playing it on the piano
...
I suppose I might have a gaming PC by then, if not I'll attempt to run some kind of bootcamp majigger on my Mac.
If it requires a gaming pc to run i will be a very angry person. Lucky me, ill have a console backup *shudder* should i ever need it.

I doubt a macbook air will fair well with frostbite 3 engine. Macbook Pro should probably run it if you crank down settings. Apple really don't want to commit to adding GPUs above mid-range.

The amount of people getting on PC makes me hype! 2015 is so far away...

Agreed. You'll probably have a way better chance getting the latest iMac though, at least, I think. Laptop-wise, you'd be better off with a Razer/Alienware laptop. Or some immensely powerful laptop from another developer that compares to Battlefield 4's specs at least.
or you can get a Parallel Desktop with Windows 8 and play BF3 and Battlefield 4 on a Mac Air
I do plan on buying a nice gaming lap top (even though I hate laptops.. Track pads are terrible little demons in end of themselves..), and I haven't played on a console (besides the Wii, which I don't consider to be a console) in.. oh I don't know, 3 years?.. I can't stand the things..

That's even worse. My 2007 iMac could barely run SWBF1 on parallels. Barely.

Yup the iMacs have GPUs above the x50 series. However even still they're still the mobile versions of the graphics cards.

Before thinking about pre-ordering any games, watch this:

Video by TotalBiscuit. It is quite long, though, 20 min.
I've got a pretty fast computer, so I'll be playing it on PC.
I think there's enough people wanting to play on PC to warrant a purchase for myself. :)
