Should you pre-order Battlefield 4 at a point where we know nothing about its multiplayer?

on witch platform?

No. no... I will wait and see how the real gameplay looks and then I figure out on which platform to buy...

meanwhile this game will kick ass, and we know it! its just those times when you know almost nothing about that game.. how can we pre-order something we dont know much about it..

Jaqen_Hghar4032d ago

Not. Next question. A man is tired of scripted pretty shooters from EA and HEAVILY scripted shooters from Activision. A man doesn't like online MP other than some unique games like GoW and Journey. A man must save for PS4.

RockmanII74032d ago

So, uh, what was the question again?

Rearden4032d ago

A man must not ask questions...

vickers5004032d ago

A man might pre-order BF3 if he sees some gameplay footage of the multiplayer. A man really liked BF3 premium, and a man is looking forward to seeing how BF4 will expand upon BF3.

But a man will wait for the ps4 version before he decides to buy or pre-order.

Flavor4032d ago

A man with half a brain in his skull knows that BF4 is going to be more of the same. And get ready to pay for it twice with the premium screwjob.

liquidhalos4031d ago

Yeah this whole "a man" bullshit stopped being funny a long time ago, secondly that sentence was a statement and not a question.

Jaqen_Hghar4031d ago

A man was answering the question and a man must live up to his name.

Sandmano4032d ago

Pre-ordered the premium of origin already.

Rearden4032d ago

BF4 Premium is not officially available yet.

Sandmano4031d ago

sorry I meant the deluxe edition.

AO1JMM4031d ago (Edited 4031d ago )

Same here. I preordered the Digital Deluxe version off of Origin. Beta access was the reason why I preordered though.

Sandmano4031d ago

Cool. But dont you get beta access if your premium? Im assuming you are :P I got it for beta and DLC too...

Supermax4032d ago

Get it 32 on 32 for next gen

Rearden4031d ago

Should be totally possible considering how powerful the PS4 is. Xbox 720 should be very similar, spec wise.

GamerzElite4032d ago

I am confused about pre order! I wanna play this game on next gen console but no details about next gen version and release date of consoles.

guitarded774032d ago

Yeah, I'm waiting until all the details are out. I'll probably get it for PS4 once the confirm, and open up pre-orders for it.

nitrogav4032d ago

Yep I'm not pre ordering until their man enough to say it's coming out on ps4 . Everybody knows ps4 exists yet dice won't come out with it ? . Why ? . Battlefield 3 as been the best game for me this gen on ps3 . I don't think battlefield 4 will be much different on ps3 but totally massively different on ps4 . Only want it on ps4 .

kassler4031d ago

They are waiting for the Nextbox announcement, or E3.

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.

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.

Cacabunga65d ago

EA is already dying a painful death..

peppeaccardo65d ago

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

just_looken65d 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.

GamerRN65d ago

Maybe they should just focus on making good games?

Just a thought...

Kiryu199264d 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.

EA layoffs followed by 'Generative AI to Drive Monetization'

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

ChasterMies65d 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.

DarXyde64d 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?

Barlos65d ago (Edited 65d 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.

CobraKai65d 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_looken65d 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.

Eonjay64d 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.

Chocoburger65d ago (Edited 65d 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!"
