Battlefield Hardline Won't Repeat BF4 Launch Disaster, Dev Assures

Battlefield 4 had major issues at launch in 2013, but you shouldn't expect the next installment in the series--2015's Battlefield Hardline--to run into the same problems. In a new interview, Hardline creative director Ian Milham of Visceral Games laid out the reasons why the game "will work" at launch come early next year.

"What you're basically asking is, 'Is your game going to work?' and the answer is yes, it's gonna work," Milham told GameRevolution. "We actually started on this more than a year before Battlefield 4 came out. We've been working with the DICE guys for a long time; some of our engineering work is actually in Battlefield 4 and things they've been doing since then."

This is the 5th article I have seen about BF:Hardline over the past 24 hours. It looks like EA is doing their damage control sit-downs to drum up support.

It totally is damage control, if their so sure about their game then let it speak for itself when it launches. Regardless many are still going to see it as an expansion to BF4.

These devs can ty and assure me as much as they want, NO WAY am I buying BF:Hardline at launch

[MaxwellBuddha]

I'm never pre-ordering ANY game again whatsoever.

[porkChop]

Yeah I've heard that before, and yet every time a BF game releases it's riddled with problems. BF4 was worse than any other, sure, but no BF game this past generation has launched in an acceptable state.

Less talking more proving... Never getting my money again regardless!

I bought Bf3 at launch for 360. For months it was glitched where I had no hud, no, gun, no gadgets, and couldn't arm the m-com. After that and hearing about all the issues bf4 had at launch, I will never buy another bf game at launch.

Dear Ea,
after months of fixing BF4, breaking it many times, mending it many times, yesterday you launched a new patch full of fixes. I installed your patch and now Im getting the same connection errors that were fixed months ago. BF4 Is the reason I wont trust you again.
Sincerly,
D. Pope

Assurance is not enough. We need action. Anyway I will not fall for same thing again and I'll wait at least six months before I'll even consider BF Hardline being worth spending my money on.

[Funantic1]

I never liked Battlefield. COD is far from perfect but the best FPS there is on consoles.

[TekKing]

Of course it won't. It's not being made by DICE.

[uth11]

They won't repeat the BF4 launch disaster. Because this time, they have an entirely new disaster planned...

[sAVAge_bEaST]

EA.... Done sunnn,, with your B$... give DICE back to US,.

-NEVER AGAIN.--

[NovasRevenge]

Battlefield Hardline Won't Repeat BF4 Launch Disaster, Dev Assures... Well lafter the dreadful B4 debarcle, I'm not falling for it this time around. Forget it.. On a side note, the amount of people who came on the forums defending it saying they had no problems, I hope they are reading as the Dev's are even saying it was a disaster, so stop being blinkered..

Sad time in gaming industry when a developer have to tell you there product will work.

Gaming is heading for another crash because of western developers and publishers.
