Why? It's on a fckin' servers! If someone is willing to buy one game two times, this should be guaranteed.

ala_7673921d ago

It wont support cross gen save maybe cuz PS3 will have 24 players and PS4 will get 64 players....

JKelloggs3921d ago

How will that at all be a contributing factor?

Lunarassassin3921d ago

But the levels are saved in the same way. Match modes don't affect how you level up.

TekoIie3921d ago

That doesnt mean there wont be servers that support 24 players. Why not allow PS4/PS3 or Xbox1/360 players to have cross platform play in lobbies that support 7th gen consoles.

solidt123921d ago

It won't support it because it's a different game that's why. Has any multiplayer shooter ever done that? Why is this even a article. What dummy would even expect this.

die_fiend3921d ago

shadowwizard above apparently. He fails to realise that there is maybe a difference between 24- and 64-player games and the impact that may have on the leaderboards.

shadowwizard3921d ago

Sure, fair point with stats and leaderboards, but when you invest some heavy time into the game on one platform, they should at least allow you to get unlocks from last-gen, to next-gen.

FIFA 14 Ultimate Team is cross-gen and all the stats will carry over along with cards, players etc.

TekoIie3921d ago

Considering we have Ps vita's Battle Royale and 3DS's Monster Hunter 3 you would expect the next jump to be cross generation.

Alexious3921d ago

I'm assuming there is a technical reason for this....

Still, it may mean that those who have a good PC will go directly with that route.

Ray1863921d ago

So you want all of your progress in an older game to carry over into a new game. Yeah, good luck with that.

LackTrue4K3921d ago

Not only a newer game...but a hole gen!! Hahaha

SeanScythe3921d ago (Edited 3921d ago )

Not BF3, they are talking about BF4 on PS3 or 360 transferring saves to the PS4 or XBone.

Really what part of what I said could you disagree with? If you disagree with that you are a moron, because you can't understand what the hell is going on.

MWong3921d ago (Edited 3921d ago )

Well honestly it's servers. Systems crash all the time without gamesaves, that data, for all unlocks and information is stored on their servers.

I figure it would be too much of a pain to have the servers update that way. So I am cool either way, will still be buying it on PS3 & PS4.

Rockstar3921d ago

This is just common sense.

Maninja3921d ago

I wouldn't want to get this for my ps4 on launch day just to hop into a game and find colonels everywhere. This is done to make sure it stays fair at launch and it isn't just a bunch of people who've had the game for weeks dominating people who just got it.

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.

-Foxtrot753d ago

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

gamesftw250752d ago

Maybe it was a inside job then haha.

jeromeface751d ago

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

PapaBop752d 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.

Inverno752d 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

XiNatsuDragnel753d ago

They want people to go on 2042. My theory

excaliburps752d ago

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

Pudge102888752d ago (Edited 752d 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

pr33k33752d 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.

Pudge102888752d 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_D3TH752d 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.
