Battlefield 4 PS4 Review | IGN

On PlayStation 4, Battlefield 4 suffers from a handful of irritating launch issues. The 1.50 firmware update caused a number of issues. The core gameplay is unaffected -- it's still great -- but limited servers, unreliable connectivity at press time is frustrating.

Ign should rewrite this part: The 1.50 firmware update caused a number of issues. this patch activate the online gameplay so it cannot cause number of issues to something that was not there in the first place

Soldierone3803d ago

Leave it to IGN to blame the PS4 for the lackluster online of this game.... Funny how "sony broke it" is allowed here, yet every other game is working fine.....

They knew about the patch for months, and they knew exactly what it would do, why did they not test their game to make sure it works?

I swear the main editor - Steve Butts is starting to sway alot towards MS. Even the site "redesign" is being sponsored by Microsoft.

Granted - Sony did help refurbish thier TV with brand new Sony TVs, but IGN was QUICK to point out that consoles were bricking despite not getting the whole story. Even the original story author was "the staff at ign".

$$$$ talks, BS walks. Hence Call of Duty versions 1 to 934,202,349 will always get a 8-10 score.

The online component of this game is completely garbage for my PC too. It crashes ALL THE TIME. I returned it because of it.

It's not a PS4 issue and I expect journalists to do more research before they falsify their reports/reviews on a product.

Honestly you really can't even take ANY reviews from these sites seriously anymore. I bought BF4 thinking it was a good game and to my surprise, it was in complete shambles.

.... Meanwhile I buy Killzone and Knack for the PS4 and GOLLY GEE, they are both FUN as HELL and run PERFECT! Hmmmm... interesting. So two games which should of underwhelmed actually overwhelmed and the game which should of overwhelmed (BF4) actually underwhelmed.

This should be a lesson to everyone. Don't Bite the Hand that feeds you. You cannot take reviews seriously anymore.

Omegasyde3803d ago (Edited 3803d ago )

I agree. A Game should be reviewed by it's merits on day 1.

If a developer get's bad scores, then it's their fault they released a half-ass game.

I wouldn't mind a re-review 30+ days later but it shouldn't affect the initial score.

GTAV online also got away with this same BS when it first launched.

Starbucks_Fan3803d ago

I kind of wished I would have waited to buy this till Black Friday. Freakin connection issues...

kB03803d ago

I bought killzone instead of this, and asssin's (which both are awesome through remote play...but asssassin's is far from next gen).

Don't worry PC version of BF4 is also crazy suffering. Be patient:) don't regret the purchase, just play through campaign and wrack in them points until online works well. They officially announced a patch to come next week or so:)

DEAD-DEVIL-DISCO3803d ago

i cant even finish single player its so broken. also have yet to play conquest cause it wont let me. but....game is cool as shit. definetly going to tough this out

Omegasyde3803d ago

Try out Blacklight. It's free 2 play, and atleast tie you over when Dice finally fixes the game.

Soldierone3803d ago

Battlefield never works on consoles for at least a month or two. Thats why I never bothered to play it yet, just got stuck with it in my bundle. It'll be fixed maybe after Christmas....

Ripsta7th3803d ago

Conquest mode was disabled for being unplayable. I wanted to try that mode out

Avernus3803d ago

Last I heard the game works like crap on all systems, PC included. Blaming the FW for "a number of issues"?... smh.

Master-H3803d ago

Another year another rushed EA title.

Battlefield 1, Hardline, BF4 Servers Are Being Taken Offline by Cheaters; EA Silent on Issue

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.

-Foxtrot752d ago

Course they are silent, they are hoping people flock to 2042

gamesftw250751d ago

Maybe it was a inside job then haha.

jeromeface751d ago

wouldnt be the first time, titanfall 1+2 anyone?

PapaBop751d ago

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.

Inverno751d ago

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

XiNatsuDragnel752d ago

They want people to go on 2042. My theory

excaliburps751d ago

Nah. I think they can't do anything about it or they want to sink money into fixing it.

Pudge102888751d ago (Edited 751d ago )

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

pr33k33751d ago

if this happened in 2042, they'd have something to say. which is weird, considering battlefield 1 has more players on steam right now.

Pudge102888751d ago

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.

FPS_D3TH751d ago

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

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.
