Matt Cuttle of FTW sits down with DICE executive producer Patrick Bach to talk Battlefield 4 and the upcoming beta set to launch publicly on October 4 for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC.

He also give some insight as to the awkward situation regarding next-generation consoles, saying that the best case scenario would have been to allow gamers to test the Battlefield 4 on the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 as well. Alas, it’s a problem that the studio simply ‘cannot solve’.
