Battlefield 4: why it's time to go back to the future

OXM - EA's Frank Gibeau would like to remind you that Medal of Honor: Warfighter is not a Battlefield clone, should you have any doubts as to the clear and unambiguous gulf between one's brand of gritty death and the other's brand of deathly grit. "We are very careful that Battlefield and Medal of Honor stay differentiated," he told Game Informer this week (via AOTF). "There is an inefficiency to having two different brands coming out alternating like that, [but] there is some upside. You don't have the annualized sequel fatigue. With Medal of Honor we tried to embrace that the game is real. The multiplayer is different than Battlefield. We're trying to use a sequencing strategy to keep it as fresh and different as possible."

Great find, i totally missed that.

I guess there's your valid reason for the Skyrim fans calling for fixing the 2GB RAM limit when it first came out. 64 bit is inevitable.

I've seen a lot of flight sim players use Win 7 64 bit long before BF3 made it cool. And Arma 3 demands that you have 64bit for it.

I still think there's plenty of scope for BF3 to improve and grow, no real need for a direct sequel in just 24 months. Me, I'd prefer a sequel to 2142.

gazgriff2k124295d ago

i think they saw black ops 2 and thought i want a piece of that im guessing battlefield 4 will be set in 2024 not 2124 or 2012

h311rais3r4295d ago

Uh bf did future long before CoD did. It's called 2142.............

gazgriff2k124295d ago (Edited 4295d ago )

BIG difference between 2024 & 2124 and still want dino's.

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.

-Foxtrot756d ago

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

gamesftw250755d ago

Maybe it was a inside job then haha.

jeromeface755d ago

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

PapaBop755d 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.

Inverno755d 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

XiNatsuDragnel756d ago

They want people to go on 2042. My theory

excaliburps755d ago

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

Pudge102888755d ago (Edited 755d 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

pr33k33755d 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.

Pudge102888755d 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_D3TH755d 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.
