Patrick Söderlund Explains How Frostbite Has Changed EA For The Better

GI:

"When we sat down to play Dragon Age: Inquisition for the first time, we noted that the pause mechanic that lets players plot their attacks had changed. The ability to slowly wind time forward while paused (called "engage mode") was described by creative director Mike Laidlaw as an unintended byproduct of Frostbite 3."

Battlefield Dev Asks Fans Map Layout & Location Feedback; Frostbite Getting “Much Needed” Upgrades

Just go and play BF3 and BF4 included all DLCs and your questions will be answered.

this is how you make studios do better. Not by threats, not by screaming, not by DDoS and not by hacking. You simply just don't buy or play the game. When the revenue dries up, they will be very happy to take your feedback so they can get back to taking your money. This method forces them to simply make better products at a better value and we see it beginning to happen here.

They have had this obsession with being COD for quite some time now. In doing so the franchise has gone completely down the sh*tter because of it.

They failed to realize the man power COD invests in content both story, co-op, and multiplayer PVP. There is a literal army for each and every release.

Battlefield use to have the entirety of DICE on each and every project they released. However once Battlefront returned to EA you could see the quality of each and every game after that suffer from diminishing returns.

DICE as a studio simply couldn’t handle more than one project at a time. Yet they plowed ahead anyway and fans of Battlefield and Star Wars suffered because of it.

And while yes they did right the Battlefront 2 and Battlefield 5 ships respectively. In the end those titles were abandoned to work on the next half baked project.

I just don’t see how DICE recovers from the incompetence. Maybe just maybe they’ll pull a Modern Warfare 2019 out of their ass and restore the timeline.

But as it stands today I have little to no confidence in them producing anything but mediocrity. I suspect many of you feel the same way.

The crazy part is they have the templates of what people want. Battlefield 3, 4, and Bad Company 2 are all anyone wants Battlefield games to be

Same gameplay. Updated graphics. Lots of weapons. New maps. New armies. Same classic game modes. Maybe a new game mode or two. No paid loot boxes. Preferably a single player campaign.

It's really not hard. That's the formula that kept this franchise alive and thriving for almost 15 years. This is the formula that kept fans happy and spending money. Why try to change that?

Go away with that crap. It's been 20 years since the original BF1942 and nothing was done to celebrate that. There should have been a BF1942 remake + both expansions done in the new game engine.

Arc Raiders looks interesting. Glad they will get a bit more time to fine tune it.
