MP1st - "...This is where I see consoles beginning to hold back innovation in gaming. The consoles are designed to last for 7-10 years, which is great as far as long term electronics investment is concerned. The only problem is, the hardware market cycles almost every 2 years. While the locked down and uniform nature of a console certainly gives developers a lot of leeway and to push its hardware as far as it can go, it can still only go so far."
Battlefield Bad Company 2, Dead Space 2, Crysis 3, and a handful other EA games have finally had their online services shut down.
I had no idea that Bad Company 2 was still running, and only now that I know, I want to jump on! 😥
BF1943 is the only online MP game that I was genuinely interested in. Been playing since launch 14 years ago. Hate that I couldn't put in as much time to play as I'd hoped for during the final week.
Dead Space 2...... I wasn't even aware that had multiplayer. Nevermind that it was apparently one of their best multiplayers!
Dead Space 2 multiplayer had been hanging on for years - I'd boot my PS3 up to see some familiar names in lobbies. This will definitely be missed!
Whether it comes through remakes or a new game with a similar style, DICE should aim to revive the glory days of Battlefield 3 and Bad Company 2.
hmmm I think there will be no old BF glory days for EA since they are loyal to their greediness and laziness :D
You're asking for a miracle with EA that will never happen unless they can exploit the money making schemes behind it.
This Battlefield 3 Reality Mod installation guide will show you step-by-step on how to install the new reality mod by Venice Unleashed.
how the hell is console holding back anything? when you have a vision to create amazing things, no matter what you have you will try to achive that vision. at the end of the day games are ART!... games like journey wasnt hold back by anything!, all you need is imagination.
at the end of the day DEVELOPERS AND PUBLISHERS are the ones who decide where they want to create their games! no body is forceing them, if they think console is not good enough then dont develop for it simple as!. money and greedyness is what holds back potential not the TOOLS to create games...
It's up to the developers to take a game and make on a PC from the ground up with nothing holding them back. That's when you'll see a mind blowing game that takes advantages of a PC.
yes...
Nope game developers are . afterall they are the ones who make the games not the Consoles
No, publishers are holding back the true potential of video games.
