I hate EA, but love Battlefield. Guess I'm getting it if it's good, but it better be pretty amazing.

a_squirrel4067d ago (Edited 4067d ago )

If it weren't for EA as much as you hate them, a LOT of game developers wouldn't have gotten the funding for the games they make. So OF COURSE THEIR JOB IS TO MAKE MONEY. They do it through marketing and proper investing.

WarThunder4067d ago

Make a Russian campaign in BF4 and i will buy it.

Another nice image shows trucks, lots of trucks:

lol thanks for the laugh! :-P

-Superman-4067d ago

I really hope its going to be just like Battlefield 2.
Command, big ships, and also submarines from Battlefield 1942. BIG MAPS, MORE PLAYERS = WIN

Flavor4067d ago

the last game was the exact opposite of what you wanted, so what makes you think they will switch gears now? It's deep inside dudebro gimpware territory now.

JasonKCK4068d ago

I would love to get this game if EA didnt screw me over with Sim City.

Rockefellow4068d ago

That's a great attitude to have if you want to spite yourself. This is a wholly different developer who tends to care about their fans (just look at the quality DLC released for BF3-- way better than all of CoD's DLC for the past few years).

Of course, if this comes out and has microtransactions for bullets in the middle of combat, then we've got a problem.

JasonKCK4068d ago

Still published by EA and EA is resposible for the Sim City crap I paid for but cant play. U can say I have a bad attitude but, after the microtransactions, day 1 on disc dlc, drm, online passes, no support after most realeses, and the money I wasted on Sim City. I feel I have legit reasons not to trust EA.

TheXonySbox4067d ago

Buying BF4 puts $$$ into EA's pockets; jason has sound logic.

Rockefellow flawed fanboy logic; this is why bad companies can survive.

Lisica4067d ago

What if it comes with always-online DRM and server problems?

It's still EA, man.

Rockefellow4067d ago

Yes, TheXonySbot... I have flawed fanboy logic. Let me let you in on a little secret: it doesn't pay to be a fanboy of ANY company. I like some of the games EA puts out, so I buy them. I don't even personally like Battlefield, but I recognize the value of it to many other people.

Buying BF4 puts cash in EA's pocket, sure-- and they'll go on to use that cash to make a lot of other potentially great investments. I've gotten quite a few EA published titles over the years that I've never had a single problem with, from Dead Space to Need for Speed, Rock Band to Shadows of the Damned.

And you know what? It also puts money in the developer's pockets-- the people who make the games you enjoy. And, if people purchase the GOOD games from EA, there's plenty of incentive to put more of them out. There's no doubt that EA has learned from this SimCity fiasco, and Maxis will think twice before trying to lie to their consumers again.

If that's "fanboy" logic, I'll gladly stick with it. I feel sorry for you and whatever limited, backwards thinking you go by.

Rainstorm814067d ago (Edited 4067d ago )

That's funny same shyt happened with Diablo 3 yet I don't see anyone raising pitchforks and torches against Blizzard....... Or I Don't see anyone blaming Maxis

It's sad cause even when EA does good people only focus on the negative, if BF4 is of high quality like BF3 I'm all in

I thought you guys were gamers, judge each game on its own merit

DICE makes Battlefield, support them, you may be supporting EA at the same time but because of what EA did shouldn't sway you for the quality products DICE puts out.

IK IR Y IP T4068d ago (Edited 4068d ago )

sucks to be u @jasonkck because i bought sim city a week after launch and haven't had one problem with signing on or staying connected maybe u need to learn how to select a diff server because sim cities problems are behind them thats what happens when million people buy the game when it launches servers crash so stop trolling and they just gave me a free 60 dollar game cant complain there and the games u get to choose from are great titles so BF4 is going to be amazing cant wait! people tend to forget that companys need to make money to keep making games !!

JasonKCK4067d ago

What does it matter to you that I dont trust EA? Will my opinion prevent you or anyone else from buying EA games? NO! So let me have my opinion then.

KillrateOmega4067d ago (Edited 4067d ago )

So because you're Sim City experience was crap, you're now refusing to buy any games from EA, even if they're from a totally different developer than Sim City and even if it's a game that's basically guaranteed to be awesome like BF4. All in some attempt to boycott EA.

I don't like EA and some of their business practices either, but this seems pretty silly tbh...

TemplarDante4067d ago

Sim City =\= Battlefield
Im sorry they screwed you over, sir. But this is the Big Kahuna here. I'd buy Battlefield 4 even if I had bought a copy of Sim City 3 and upon opening it, it jumped up and slapped me.

DeadlyFire4067d ago (Edited 4067d ago )

You have learned to never buy a game on Day 1. Unfortunately it was the hard way. 6 months after is usually best time to buy. Usually there is a discounted price somewhere. Most issues are patched up, and the community either loves or hates it and has spread hate or love about the game all over the internet for you to read.

I would buy Battlefield 4 even if it came with a free copy of Simcity with DRM issues alongside it.

StoneyYoshi4067d ago

dude quit crying over simcity. its working now. go play it. just picked it up wednesday and havent had a single issue.

Well, anything to make those shareholders happy, I guess. They're all that matters in this industry nowadays.

EA stocks haven't been profitable in over 5yrs. They better hope Take-two don't get the FIFA license lol.

thorstein64d ago

I wonder what the next buzz word they'll slap in front of AI to make it sound exciting next? "Generative" as if it's creating its own content. Lol.

Cacabunga63d ago

EA is already dying a painful death..

peppeaccardo63d ago

i have a better idea .. why the whole exec team doesn't get replaced by chat bots ?

just_looken64d ago

Though i agree the ai thing is already in other forms of media there have been ai translations/scripts/voice over and even full ai commercials aired on tv. Ubisoft has created a ai game creator story/vo/music except the building of the game

The new unreal engine has auto terrain creation tools

In the world of greed in which it is winning without any major blow back ai is our future.

everyone want's biden dead on the mic or a criminal instead of a woman and now we are getting ai everything because no one will stop watching/playing ai created media.

GamerRN63d ago

Maybe they should just focus on making good games?

Just a thought...

Kiryu199263d ago

Exactly EA are just pure evil. When they are beating Bank of America to be voted the worst company to work for that’s saying a lot

Good thing I don’t buy their games day one and wait for deep deep sale years after launch (the select few games I am actually interested in)

Gaming is making so much money yet the greed of these companies is never ending

CEO’s and people on board making millions yet cutting jobs to those who are actually making the products

EA is still a shady shitty company even with or without the help of Skynet. All they will use AI for is new ways to milk loot boxes and come up with the same sports title with a different year on the label. They are one company I truly do hate with a passion. They single handedly ruined some great franchise with their death touch. ME, Dead Space, Alice Returns, Dante's Inferno.

Stuart575664d ago

EA layoffs followed by 'Generative AI to Drive Monetization'

I knew it. Wonder what AI salary looks like? Nothing.

ChasterMies64d ago

I having a feeling that most of the layoffs in the industry are based on the idea that AI will do the same job for less.

DarXyde63d ago

Very likely, yes.

Made worse by the fact that the execs aren't changing their compensations.

My deepest fear at this point is that we are now in the capitalism endgame.

At this point, we really should just burn AI to the ground. Executives cannot be trusted to do the right thing.
How are those people expected to support families if everything gets automated?

Barlos64d ago (Edited 64d ago )

And take away creativity, and people's jobs as we've been seeing. Got it.

No thanks. I want my games created by people, not AI.

CobraKai64d ago

Exactly. If or when games start becoming more AI than people, im done with gaming. AI and companies like EA can suck donkey d***k.

just_looken64d ago

Though i agree remember this is no ps3/360 era were we got up to 3 games in one generation from on developer like gears/halo/bioware/sony/ms

The people today are pro esg/sweet baby for the most part AAA gaming is imploding right now.

We should be stepping back re evaluate everything as a whole this year xmen 97 written/directed by a woman that is nuts and its also being made by a group reshaping bodies to be less sexual like wtf. A dam famous cartoon from the 90's is being rebuilt with millions spent to be worse in everyway.

Gaming/movies/tv shows made today are worse than what we had 7years ago ai won't change this but that ai is also being made by these groups so either way we are screwed.

Eonjay63d ago

Don't be of afraid of women. Sexy characters in games and movies still exist. Got my Stellar Blade on preorder!!! Everything all the time doesn't need to be sexual...that's stupid, childish and dull.

Chocoburger64d ago (Edited 64d ago )

EA doesn't want to lose their title of worst gaming company ever, always trying their best to remain the champs!
What's sad is that they have so much potential to be a decent publisher.

SSX Tricky / SSX 3
Def Jam Vendetta / Fight for New York
NBA Street
NFL Steet
Mirror's Edge
Bad Company
Burnout 3 / 4 / 5

Remember when EA used to be awesome? It's all over with now. Unpolished, if not out-right broken games these days. Endless monetization and gambling in their sports games, and let's not forget wasting hours of your life trying to unlock characters or equipment using "surprise boxes!"
