Edge:DICE is much, much more than ‘the Battlefield studio’ these days. A Mirror’s Edge sequel, plus a fleeting glimpse of the next Star Wars: Battlefront game were among E3′s most electrifying reveals, a stunning one-two punch from the Stockholm studio that shows how much its parent company EA trusts, treasures – and invests – in its output. DICE’s Frostbite engine will power several other cherished series, from Need For Speed through Dragon Age to the next Mass Effect, too.
Patrick Bach and Per Olof Romell of Stockholm studio discuss the Assassin's Creed publisher's newest tech.
Ubisoft : Bigger Isn't Always Better In Game Design
Patrick Bach : "Do we need games to be bigger? No,"
Cheaters & hackers have been causing grief on Battlefield 1, Hardline & BF4 servers, with nonstop DDoS attacks among other things. Unfortunately, EA has remained silent about it.
Not even if they paid me.. EA always do this with old games with less money potential, if this was Ultimate Team, they'd address and sort it faster than stories could spread. Why invest time in their products when they will just dump it in the following years? Then again EA never could see the forest for the trees.
I imagine after those games were given out for free a couple months back through Amazon, anything that makes people go to 2042 is a plus for them
Nah. I think they can't do anything about it or they want to sink money into fixing it.
EA owns all BF servers so yes, they can do something about it but they refuse to because they dont want ppl playing their old games instead of the new one. Its EA we’re talking about here
if this happened in 2042, they'd have something to say. which is weird, considering battlefield 1 has more players on steam right now.
Its so obvious that EA is doing this or hired ppl to mess up the games so that we’d be forced to have just 1 Battlefield working.
Honestly it’s probably the devs themselves. They did an update to bf4 way back that kinda made assault rifles doo doo in hopes that people would flock to BF1 cuz BF4 was too perfect
The shooter genre is one of the most beloved videogame genres in the gaming community, and rightfully so. From DOOM Eternal to Battlefield 4, passing through The Outer Worlds, the Xbox Game Pass has a lot to offer when it comes to amazing shooter experiences. Come check out some great shooter games available on Xbox Game Pass!
There's a bunch of great shooters on gamepass; both legacy and new.
A recommendation I have is a work in progress preview title called Anacrusis. It's a lot of fun, and has a cool aesthetic.
Not much, from the looks of things.
wow... either your blind or brain-dead.... from the 60FPS, to the 64man servers, to the new sqaud class systems, to the TRUE commander mode, to the new destruction mechanics, to the pltherora of weapons and gadgets, etc, etc, etc (could go on and on but you get the picture)...
Battlefield 4 feels like a new game to most console gamers, that now get to enjoy 64 players with 60 FPS, which is good for them! I hope you enjoy it to the fullest.
But for us PC gamers, we have seen most of this before, in BF3. Commander was in BF2, so it isn't that new. New guns and vehicles are granted. This is more like "FIFA 13 -> FIFA 14". Maybe with more new features than a football game update. It's pretty easy to come to the conclusion that BF4 = BF3.5. But we have only seen two maps to be played on (some other maps only briefly). But Battlefield is usually great quality all around and a very enjoyable shooter. Now I kinda wish that I had saved the money from BF3 and it's premium to BF4 + Premium, because this one is pretty much better in every way.
yeah, but that Commander mode in BF2 was pretty much rubbish.. and that's been confirmed by the developers.. Actually, when you think about it, staying "true Battlefield to the core" is the most important thing and you dont want to mess with that formula by doing abunch of gimmicky CoD type crap... Stay true to the core Battlefield experience, do new things, but nothing too off the wall to destroy the franchise...
Battlefield doesn't have the luxury of haphazardly experiementing as they are always the underdog in the "Cod Vs BF" review fight... Cod fanboy sites like IGN would crucify them if they went too far from the norm, with stupid responses like, "this isn't the true Battlefield experience" (they did this with Close Quarters) or they'll crucify them if they stay too much the same, (yet, they universally praised MW3 and that was the worse copy and paste job in video game history). They have a delicate line to walk when it comes to doing "new" stuff when it comes to the CoDilistic fanboy review site like IGN, but everything that they added, changed, or made better is making BF4 look like a great addition to the series...
