I'm so happy theu are going back in time. I wanna play a good fps that isn't 100 years in the future.

Today, we have the tech to tell some really damn good war stories, with all the emotion and heartbreak. And gaming can do it like nothing else can. I don't give a shit about spaceships etc. I'll play other games for that. What made MW so great was it's story, and the ability to make you feel.

I'm super excited about Battlefield.

SolidStoner3298d ago

Super exited here also, and well said joab777!

I respect history and playing game in WW1 would be better than any history video if done right, hope they stay true hardcore and let History to speak by itself with authentic guns, locations and events.. New generation kids could learn from that about past..

at least I think its better than fake sci-fi ship battles.. and they are fine, but in different games...

October is quickly becoming the new November:
Battlefield
Gears 4
PSVR

Its May, and already I have about $600 accounted for. Ratchet and Clank, Quantum Break and of course Uncharted 4 prove that you can launch big games year round.

_-EDMIX-_3298d ago

Lol. My friends and I used to joke that everyone was so antsy to show off their game before E3 that they would show off their game after the day of E3 and just put the next following year to get ahead of the Curve lol.

Be like the day after E3 2016 they're going to be like "debut of Modern Warfare Ghosts 2 E3 2017".

Sounds like they're just trying to get ahead of the November Rush so that way they have a head-start against competition in November and December. Watch next year they're going to release some of their fall games in like spring so that way they could get ahead of the other fall games also trying to release in Spring lol I can't!

iTechHeads3298d ago

If you want good stories then play something like Uncharted.
Modern FPS is too focused on multiplayer.

harbie3298d ago

Agreed, but I think they went a little too far back lol. We'll see how it works out though. I perefer the SOCOM style balance, where it's more about talent of the player than leveling, gimmicks, & space-aged homo-jumps & jetpacks...

So hopefully this is going in the right direction.

Finally going back in time, couldn't be happier!

Pandamobile3298d ago

I'm hoping they go both directions with the new Battlefield. Alternate timeline World War 1 setting with some future tech and Titan mode mixed in would be frickin' awesome.

starchild3298d ago

Agreed. That would be awesome.

BattleAxe3298d ago

No, that would be cheesy. It's this kind of thinking that has given us Black Ops 3 and other Call of Duty games.

vickers5003298d ago

@BattleAxe

Just because Activision can't make a decent futuristic/scifi game, doesn't mean those types of games can't be done right.

starchild3298d ago

I can't wait to play this game in October.

Nvidia just announced the GTX 1080 and it's faster than a Titan X. I'll be getting one of those in June and it's going to be amazing playing games like Battlefield 1 maxed out on it.

kneon3297d ago

No, leave that crap out. We're long over due for a shooter without all the extra crap and stupid perks. Simple basic weapons and skill is all you need for a good shooter.

Trekster_Gamer3297d ago

Alternate timelines would ruin it!

kassler3298d ago

So Battlefield 5 is Battlefield 1?

Pandamobile3298d ago

Can't wait for the sequel, Battlefield 1 2.

_-EDMIX-_3298d ago

I'm not sure I really care. I think it's Unique calling it Battlefield 1 in their respective Battlefield World War 1.

I'm not sure that the name of the title is going to affect how I feel about playing it so I'm not sure how much I care about this lol.

Do you care about playing games or just the name of them?

dantesparda3298d ago

@ Edmix

No, a name is not enough to not make me play a game, but its still a stupid name, just as Xbox One, Wii & Wii U are. What am i supposed to like and agree with every move these companies make? I think its a stupid name, sorry.

@Pandamobile

I know right, lol

danny8183298d ago

xbox one lol who cares. The game sounds like it has potential already

FITgamer3298d ago

Well the first game was BF 1942, maybe to signify first WW. Hell idk, i'm excited though.

OrangePowerz3298d ago (Edited 3298d ago )

Could name it Battlefield 1918, Battlefield WW1 or something else. Any name is better than Battlefield 1. If you have uninformed and less inteligent customers they see BF1 next to the BF4 box and think BF4 is newer :D

xlbLoOdlx3297d ago (Edited 3297d ago )

Clearly not all of you watched the live stream or hear the explanation behind the title.

@Panda, we're rebooting, expect the next game to be titled Battlefield 2.

DeadlyFire3297d ago (Edited 3297d ago )

Battlefield has always named itself after its themes and by years of themes only iterations with numbers have been modern. I do think 1 is a bad name for it. Should be the year WW1 started

BigBosss3298d ago

Glad to see the return to WW1 Era, I just miss it!

BF1 using Frostbite engine 3 and created by the same people that made Battlefront, this is seriously going to be good.

esmittystud1013298d ago

Totally agree. Star Wars Battlefront is visually stunning and probably the best running Dice first person shooter I have ever played. The visuals in Battlefied 1............can't wait.

starchild3298d ago

Yeah, it is going to be beautiful indeed.

Errorist763298d ago

Or terrible...if one knows about the brutality in WW1.

game4funz3298d ago

Battlefront is one if the best looking games right now so can't imagine what this game will look like.

Errorist763298d ago

Return?! Which game was ever situated in WW1?!

Bladesfist3298d ago

Verdun, it came out recently though.

I keep hearing the same thing ever time a new FPS about to drop Cod Killer lol and then nothing happens.

The Finals
Xdeviant( so many thought this game was going to steal COD thunder, cancelled in a year of release lol.)

pwnmaster300070d ago

Battlefield was the closer to do it and just when they were gaining ground with BF3 and 4. They switched up their formula.

I can’t say for everyone but me and my friends but we definitely switched over during BF3-4 era.
I would love for them to go back like that.

BF3 campaign was dope asf to

LordoftheCritics70d ago

BF3 is the greatest battlefield game ever made and probably the best MP shooter I have ever played.

This was the turning point where COD was beginning to lose ground and then EA fumbled BF4 launch.

Fumbling continues till today.

Deathtracker70d ago

Exactly, but none of them are Battlefield. Fans like me are so tired of these weird skins and random crossovers in CoD, not to mention all the bugs and server issues. So if a mil-sim like BF drops, we're going that way.

XiNatsuDragnel70d ago

Atp cod is killing itself ea can provide a finisher man

Deathtracker70d ago

The only thing that can kill Call of Duty is Call of Duty 👍

XiNatsuDragnel70d ago

I agree 100% cod suits imo keeping killing cod imo

Putte69d ago

And that is what is happening. That's what all this is about.

Abear2169d ago

Battle pass and constantly asking for money between every match is insanity

MetroidFREAK2170d ago

As long as it doesn't stoop so low to include goofy, dumb ass skins... I'll be willing to give it a chance. Even after the disaster of 2042

70d ago
Putte70d ago

He's right. The time is now. There has never been a better time to kill of call of duty. The game is in shambles. But of course this new Battlefield needs to at least be back to it's former self and then and some smoother gameplay and the battle royale needs to be Fresh and Fun. But the time is absolutely right right now.

New Battlefield Game to Feature Map Set in Egypt Per Evidence Collected

The community has banded together and seems to have found evidence pointing to Egypt as one of the new Battlefield game's maps.

gamewalt4292d ago

I hope they bring back the kill confirmation text from Bf3

Putte91d ago

It's gonna be fantastic. Everybody is so hungry for something else then the horrible Call of duty the state that game is in.

thorstein91d ago (Edited 91d ago )

EA and Activision: "we'll continue to make mediocre games as long as you keep buying them."
