Flicking through various message boards, forums and article reactions, there is an astonishing amount of people disappointed, upset, or even angry at the existence of Battlefield 4.
There appear to be three key problems with the idea of the next game being Battlefield 4 - but VideoGamer is struggling to understand the logic behind any of them.
EA just hosted its quarterly financial conference call, and its executives have been asked to comment about the recent price hikes for games.
Today, Electronic Arts announced its financial results for the fourth quarter of its fiscal year 2025, alongside the full year.
Split Fiction has sold nearly 4 million copies, and the next battlefield is confirmed for a release by March 2026 with a reveal this Summer.
In addition to the roughly 100 job cuts IGN reported earlier today at Respawn Entertainment, EA has made wider cuts across its organization today, impacting around 300 individuals total including those already reported at Respawn.
Absolutely insane. Man I'm hope they land on their feet EA needs to get the shit together badly....
This is why this industry has slow releases and none compelling games.
Why would anyone willingly work in the VG industry or specifically for one of these globocorp organizations that put you in constant fear of losing your livelihood based on terrible choices made by idiotic management, not the people with talent making the actual games?
The main problem is, people don't want it to launch this gen, it's way to soon for another main series BF game, another Bad Company would be fine.
before people counter-argue saying we don't know when it will launch well that is true but why have a beta for BF4 next year on current gen systems if it's a next gen game? it's a tad pointless considering they will need to have another beta once the next gen systems launch to port it all over and make the improvements.
this seems like EA are just pushing DICE to make this to compete with COD and it's a shame because BF was always my preferred title.
The problem is these ELITE BF PLAYERS thinking that EA owes them something. If there is too much things to fix that can't be patched it only makes since that you release a new game.
Maybe this one would be the perfect BF game that everyone is looking for. *Since BF2 was sooo perfect*
I don't mind a new BF3 game because I will eventually stop playing this once all the DLC gets old.
The problem is that all the anti-COD people were praising the Battlefield series because it wasn't on the same launch schedule as COD.
Now that its on a two year cycle people lose some of the ammunition they had against COD. Had Battlefield 3 sold like Bad Company did, they probably wouldn't rushed out a sequel so fast, but EA is finding it difficult to turn away from 12-15 potential sales.
Well, it's somewhat unusual for a numbered entry in this series to come so soon, which has people worried about the impact it may have on quality. It may also suggest that this will not be a significant departure from 3, a game which many series veterans feel is a step backwards. All we can do now is wait and see, really, as there's simply not enough information to suggest anything about the game's quality or content.
The problem is that I don't want to have to buy a high end pc to enjoy the game. Ps3 and 360 struggle to run it. Why not wait till the next grn consoles. So I can fully enjoy what the game can really do.
