Visceral on Why Battlefield: Hardline Isn’t an Expansion to BF4: You’ll Understand Where the “Value Proposition Is”

[Steven3657]

I'll be buying this as long as the maps are as good as the one in the beta

[Kevlar009]

What about if you can actually play it more than 50% of the time?

[shaft0140]

I read this in a Kermit the frog voice.

[venom06]

unbelievable that people are ACTUALLY trying to paint Hardline as a damn DLC when YOU HAVENT EVEN SEEN THE WHOLE GAME.. you haven't seen the modes, you haven't seen the new maps, you haven't seen all of the features the game will have. All you people have seen is the fact that this is built on the same engine as BF4, thus is looks similiar (just like EVERY CoD since MW3, but nobody talks about not buying those, huh)? Point is, Visceral has hit the target of fun from the beta, and they have also released a beta that can update a lot of fixes that people may want. This is a great thing. Who cares what is looks similiar to as long as it's fun as hell to play (what CoD fanboys say every year right), and at this point, for a beta, this is really fun to play... Cant wait for more footage and info.

This game looks great and interesting. I loved the beta, and I love that Visceral is really paying attention to making this great.

[Neixus]

I actually like their attitude, they understand our complaints, instead of avoiding them like for example the watch dogs developers.

''NOPE, never been a downgrade''
Lmao

[ftwrthtx]

It doesn't really play like BF4. It's almost a completely different animal, and in a good way.

[LAWSON72]

Did I play a different beta?

[XiSasukeUchiha]

Ok, I suppose I will buy it but the BF4 HUD rehashing is certainly unappealing.

[Killz4Twinkies]

Not that i like COD - but if this was COD, the trolls would be going crazy that it is a "clone" "re-skinned" "same game different maps" etc..

[JetsFool3500]

This game is more infantry focused BF4 is mainly vehicle combat those are 2 different play styles all 3 cods are doing the exact same thing there is no difference between them

[Voozi]

But the trolls are going crazy for just that reason.

[CyrusLemont]

Oh my god, I feel so stupid. I've been ignoring this game this entire time because I thought it was just an add on to BF4 LOL. Why are they releasing this already though when BF4 has really only been working the way it's supposed to for a few months?

[caseh]

That's how it works. Game comes out, they announce DLC immediately to be released in 3-4 chunks then within weeks of final DLC they are already announcing a sequel /spin off. Rinse and repeat the cycle, printing money all year round

[ion666]

well its not a value to me. all they did was change the theme.

[Ace Killa 08]

Why do we have 5 people approve the article when there is already one posted with the same exact source...and both are submitted by the same person?????!

[venom06]

because the troll that submitted this twice it trying their HARDEST to get folks to talk negative about Hardline just because it looks similiar to BF4, when it reality, its actually a load of fun to play..

[JonnyBigBoss]

More action, less talk.

[cfc83]

Trade kills galore

[sovietsoldier]

sorry ea/dice ill save my money and buy a true police shooter ie rainbow six.

[GusBricker]

Will wait and see what the single player is all about.

[Ghost_Nappa]

Tried to buy bf3 on launch day. Started multiplayer, spawned with no gun and no hud. Not buying a battlefield game on launch ever again.

[joab777]

It all comes down to the single player. Despite DICE leaving behind bad company's amazing sp for a less impressive CoD rip off, Titanfall proved that single player is still a very important part of the experience.

Honestly I though most ppl would prefer 8 more maps and a couple more modes to a predictable sp but I was wrong.

So if Hardline and its impressive writers can craft an engaging sp story, no one will be complaining about this being a stand alone title...unless of course u can never play b/c of bugs and glitches.

[Soldierone]

Don't expect it to be DLC, I expect it to be an expansion. Some "older gamers" will remember what expansions were....

After playing the beta, I see no reason this stands on it's own for 60 dollars at all. It is just re-skinned and a few settings are adjusted to make it faster and "ground focused" than BF4.

The only real benefit from it at all is that the beta is at least functioning. I can actually play it, can't say that about BF4.

[Keith22]

33 hours on the beta so far cant get enough cant wait for the full release!

[GearSkiN]

2min of the beta. i got bored.

[dennett316]

Why? Because they want to sell it for $60, that's why. If a publisher thinks they can get away with it, they'll gladly charge full price for a glorified expansion pack. Gamers as a whole need to get that these companies are in it for the money, they are not our friends and they aren't doing it for the art or to make the best game that they can make...not any more. They want to do the bare minimum to justify selling at full price while still being able to section off content that could easily have been in the main game for DLC.

Visceral = Puppet

Dice = String

EA = Hand

Nuff said.

[jmac53]

I will understand the value proposition when this hits the bargain bin.
