EA's Chief Creative Officer reveals the massive budget for Battlefield 4

The CEO of EA has iterated his massive ambitions about the next Battlefield entry in the new Q1 2025 financial results.
It ain't Bad Company 3 ... so stop false-promising ... but make it current-gen only plz ... it'll be 2025 ffs
More intentionally released broken games with micro-trash-actions, and of course fake apologies written by ChatGPT instead of doing it yourself because you don't give a crap if you sell people garbage for their hard earned money.
Ass.
Isn't that the whole point of having a "series" of games? Isn't the follow-up supposed to be inherently better or "more ambitious" than the previous entries? Unfortunately, this has not been the case for Battlefield in quite some time. I've still never even redeemed the free BF 2042 code I got a year and a half ago lol. Such a shame, used to be one of my favorite shooters back in the day.

EA announced its financial results for the first quarter of its fiscal year 2025, related to the period between April 2024 and June 2024.
Gee, imagine that. When someone makes the effort to make something that isn't a mere update, it sells! When your sports development teams only spend two and a half months out of the year working on a game and spend the other nine and one half months just sitting around, wow!
That being said, if PlayStation's own IP developed in-house and on their time can be dictated by the MLB and Phil Spencers sniveling crybaby demands to competing platforms, EA must surely fall subject to the same deal by demand that Visual Concepts be permitted to resume 2K Sports franchises again. I went and played the demo for NHL 2K7 before the Xbox 360 store shutdown and wouldn't ya know it, it's better all around than EAs franchise but, I guess when you know you can't cut it and you'll never be as good as the other guy, you do what EA did and forever doom sports fans to lackluster games with as minimal effort as possible.
Finally, I think of all the genres of games, it's sports games that should be the Live Service or Games as a Service type games. You get minimal additions and roster corrections every year and that's about it, that nowhere near warrants a full-game price tag so they might as well make a single sports game for that sport and then do Season Pass for them since that's all they're doing and that would bring the overall cost of sports games from $59.99 and then having to pay again $69.99 for current Gen consoles down to $15- $19 a year. Seems fair right? That's about all it's worth, it's a software update every year, that's about it, but that's just me

EA has published a new patent that wants to add a replay editor to its games, allowing players to modify the captured gameplay content.
What? It's basically BF3 with more bugs and prettier graphics, they must be joking.
This the reason so many huge companies end up abruptly dying. The development costs are so high that they can't afford to have AAA games fail which leads to a lot less chances taken. Ubisoft could be next if watchdogs and ac 5 sell poorly.
So many money wasted on one of the worst campaigns I've ever seen in recent shooters. Useless mo-cap acting and an asinine script.
100 million on the game or perhaps lot of it was spend on wages and marketing.
100 Million$ beta that may or may not be getting any better after the updates. Fix one thing, Break another.
