Gaming business analyst Michael Pachter said that the next title in Battlefield series will not be developed by DICE in 2014, it was according to EA management.
Electronic Arts CEO Andrew Wilson stated in a recent EA Earnings Call, that the next Battlefield "it is going to be another tremendous live service.”
Another? ANOTHER?
Is he honestly trying to make out like the last Battlefield was a huge success, not just as a game but as a live service game? I'm sure these guys live in their own echo chambers, they are so far removed from reality or they just like talking out of their arse trying to rewrite history.
Also why say such a tone deaf statement when you know the state of live service games at the minute and how many gamers feel about them. Bigging up the next BF game as live service does not give me any excitement or hype.
This is nothing too new

They had plans of a universe of live service games
Also these studios made 2042 there is no new massive team its the same team

Well same team minus the seattle boys that were canned

This is all again same news different year but it seems very few remember what happened before covid.
At least they put car freshner trees up their asses to think smelling their own farts smells good at this point to be so out of touch.
Electronic Arts (EA) CEO Andrew Wilson comments on how a former competitor is now building a Battlefield "for the future."
They keep breaking promises, Dice is not the devs they used to be. I remember during BFBC2 release DICE telling hiphopgamer, anyone remember him, they would never charge for dlc maps like other companies started to do. They didn't want to seperate the community, they said. Then they released paid dlc later for BFBC2, Vietnam maps.
Jesus man this guy
Everything he’s said about the next Battlefield just screams how tone dead he actually is about the franchise
He seems to be repeating the same mistakes
I am hoping that Zampella brings his magic and delivers an awesome experience.
Imagine if Respawn got Medal of Honor? And then they make a proper COD competitor with it? Daaaamn.
If making BadCompany 3 is not possible anymore ... Just make a new Battlefield 2 in 2024, ffs !
It doesn't matter what they call it, the current EA/DICE are not capable of making a decent battlefield game. Slapping "Bad Company" on it isn't going to change that
According to EA boss Andrew Wilson, the next Battlefield game will be a "reimagination as a truly connected ecosystem."
“The launch of Battlefield 2042 did not meet expectations,” EA CEO Andrew Wilson said during the earnings call.
The next Battlefield Game Will Be a “Reimagination as Truly Connected Ecosystem,”
+"Wilson’s statements are right in line with what Wilson shared back in May, where the CEO mentioned how they are not just building a new Battlefield game but a platform to drive live services to come."
Triple AAA live service games are dogshit.
How can they go from BF1 to BF5 to BF2042.. all I can think of is all the talent jumped ship and the games got progressively worse.
BF1 was amazing in everyway apart from the lack of guns, equipment and customization, but the atmosphere was second to none.
BF5 was a good game not amazing but let down by the woke EA management "don't like it dont buy it" really hurt the game.
2042 was a disaster in everyway all the Devs from the previous games must of had enough
Do you even know what "woke" means? Or are you just doing what the majority of the right wingers do and using it as a substitute for the word "bad"? lol...
Yes frosty, most people know the original meaning of the slang "woke" but since its a mindset that's been hijacked in large part by a bunch of people who do more harm than good with their stupid backwards ill conceived ideological policies -well Yes now its become a term that has also been hijacked to push back against all the self righteous entitlement BS & nonsense they spew, & when you know, you know.
As for the next BF, I dont have alot of confidence when I hear "live service"...but we'll see.
Andrew Wilson is well behind. No one is buying into this crap anymore, we are fed up with social media and connections made online, just make a good game, can't be that difficult for game developers with so much history and experience.
ffs, EA .... just make a modern Battlefield 2 aka BF2: Reboot
followed by Bad Company 3 and Black 2.
And shareholders will further force these practices as long as people keep buying this kind of dribble. They don’t care what gamers enjoy.
They do learn, but not in the way that we as consumers would like. They only look at things from a business perspective and learn what the best ways are to milk the most money for maximum profit. Unfortunately making quality games like in the old days does not generate enough profit to fuel their hunger for money. Garbage like "live service" tends to be a lot more effective at that. So they'll keep experimenting until they get it right.
the problem are the incentives for these type of games when they do succeed. When companies are making 3x or more the money [quarterly] off MTs, Battle Passes, etc, than they do selling the actual games, they have every incentive to push this bs.
It's a model that can work for some games, but I think by and large this is something where a majority of gamers are fatigued because it's always the same ill conceived bs. Time grinds, hamster wheels, lack of content when released, the games themselves not being that good or thought out for the long term....
Seriously, game is in every way what BF used to be, and somehow 3 guys figured out what hundreds of staff and hundreds of millions in analytics and development could not at EA. It's really not that hard
but no matter how hated, Battlefield makes more money than Battlebit ever will. that's the sad part
I appreciate Battlebit as a concept, but it's really nowhere near as good as the old Battlefield games. Other than 2042, I'd rather just play any of the BF games that still has a player base (4, 1, or 5) than it. I have some friends playing who never played the Bad Company games and this is their first experience with Rush (they really only played 4 and 1 and just played Conquest, and otherwise have always played COD), which pains me because Rush on Battlebit is a pale imitation of BFBC-BF3.
Who TF asked for BF to be an "Ecosystem"? good lord talk about out of touch. I hope it bombs even harder till they get the damn message.
It seems like maybe the past decade everything got worse. Remember when Pizza Hut was shaped like a hut? Remember when McDonald's had so much color, and playgrounds with Nintendo systems? Everything is grey and minimalist and square now because that's what corporate professional people want. I hate to say it but I wish the power went to the CEOs or atleast someone close to them that had the original vision. Shareholders are responsible for all this laziness, only caring about how much profit they make, which is the whole point of a business, but you don't have to cut the good stuff just because you can find a few rich sharks willing to donate thousands for a bad game. Quality and profit should be the motto for every single business.
Yeah try 2 decades imo it may be getting older and rose coloured glasses or nostalgia but ever since apple made everything minimalist the world changed and not always for the better
Just give me battlefront
good, they can focus on battlefront. maybe they won't botch the launch like they did the past umpteen games :l
isn't there a rumor going around saying EA wants to release a battlefield every year to compete with CoD, so they're gonna outsource the battlefield license to different developers.
Kinda like how Call of Duty switches between Infinity Ward and Treyarch...
hmmmmmm....
Good. No more BugFields, please. Dead to the Premium sh!t, too!
