Battlefield 4’s Second Screen Features Exclusive to PC and Next-Gen

DICE has revealed in an Engadget interview that Battlefield 4's second screen experience, Battlescreen, will only be available on PS4 and Xbox One while Battlelog is now entirely web based. 

Assistant producer Jasper Nielsen explained that the decision not to make Battlelog available to PS3 and Xbox 360 players was born out of the team's experience with the launch of the service for Battlefield 3.

They realised that PC players were far more likely to engage in Battlelog activities.

"Battlelog is powered by the web, and that has a lot of implications. There are a lot of different things you can do, things you can do faster, rather than building stuff in native code," Nielsen commented.

The new Battlelog brings other benefits as well he says, "It's going to be a lot easier for us to actually update things from the in-game Battlelog than would otherwise be the case. You'd have to do patches normally; here we can actually do things almost by the flick of a finger." 

Battlefield 4 is set for release on October 29th in North America and on November 1st in Europe but it seems players will be better off holding out for the next-gen or PC version of the game.
