I'm hoping that it goes live right after, if not during Gamescom -- no dilly dallying about. Dying to give it a whirl. I think DICE learned from errors made with BF 4; just look at the cracking shooter they turned it into despite its horrifying state at release.

WellyUK3197d ago

they turned it from crap to average... Nothing more.

DeeBeers3197d ago

Bf4 is legend. DICE are god. Face the facts.

sevilha823197d ago

All these flavours and you choose salty

WellyUK3197d ago (Edited 3197d ago )

BF4 is average at best, it's easily the worst mainline BF game. Terrible map design, awful frame rate (PS4 version) and the BF series continues to get more and more casual with each iteration.

It's only "good" because everything else out at the moment is also average or poor. It's the best of a bad bunch.

DICE are god... Hahahaha. Battlefront.

detroitmademe3197d ago (Edited 3197d ago )

@WellyUK i think bf4 is the best competitive fps you can get on current gen consoles . It has the most variety in gameplay

sullynathan3197d ago

BF4 is pretty bad in the long run.

WellyUK3196d ago

BF4 competitive? are you insane? CoD, Overwatch and Halo have a far better competitive scene on consoles...

man, I didn't know they were doing sign-ups. I really would like to try this game, though I'll most likely buy it no matter what (game looks fantastic).

Only one of 3 games I plan on buying Day 1 this Holiday.

1. Mafia 3
2. Battlefield 1
3. South Park (still undecided on day 1, but most likely).

Scar-3197d ago (Edited 3197d ago )

After four I'm never buying another day one again. Four months after release might be too soon for me.

Elit3Nick3197d ago

Bare in mind that Battlfront was extremely stable both in the beta and at launch, I'm sure DICE won't allow another Bf4 launch to happen again.

Ricegum3197d ago

Battlefield 1 day one? After BF4's awful launch? Nah I'm good, I'll wait a bit.

ifistbrowni3197d ago

well, Battlefield is amazing when it works.

Battlefield 4 wasnt the only game at PS4/XB1 launch that suffered from crashing. In fact, I don't think I played a game at launch that didn't crash.

Battlefront (Dice's most recent game on consoles) has never crashed on me for PS4. I'm confident that DICE has managed to wrap their head around what caused the crashing in Battlefield 4. The only games I ever experience crashes on are Remasters. Most recently, Darksider 2 and Saints Row Gat out of Hell.

detroitmademe3197d ago

Hard line and battlefront was smooth. They won't let battlefield 1 release broken

ONESHOTV23197d ago

yeah i got mine for origins i enjoyed the alpha will probably enjoy it more with more people in the open beta

DICE Needs To Recapture The Magic Of Battlefield 1 In The Next Game

For DICE to succeed with its next game, it has to return to the roots of the franchise. Atmospheric map design, clear and defined class-based gameplay, attention to detail, and total chaos. Battlefield 1 feels like every rock, every glint on your sniper rifle, every falling brick from a collapsing church, has been painstakingly considered. So much care went into the design of the game, from its soundtrack to its costume department. To stand a chance alongside the behemoths of Treyarch and Infinity Ward, DICE needs to recapture what made their old games so brilliant, otherwise it’s all over.

"DICE Needs To Recapture The Magic Of Battlefield 3 In The Next Game"

/Fixed

...on a serious note, DICE needs to remove the Battlefield name.

isarai915d ago

Eh, bfbc2 was the peak for me, only ad dogfighting and the accommodations that come with it. Every BF after that was such an unsatisfying progression system for weapons and gear for the classes, 90% of the guns feel exactly the same when you unlock them, just felt boring in comparison. Not to mention the gimped destruction as the series progressed

Sciurus_vulgaris915d ago

I found Battlefield 1 to be overrated. The gameplay was simpler and less strategic than its predecessors. Battlefield 1 did have a woo-factor, but the gameplay got repetitive faster than Battlefield 4 in my opinion.

porkChop914d ago

If DICE needs to return to the roots of the franchise then why would they look at Battlefield 1? BF1 is overly simplified and streamlined. What DICE should focus on is Battlefield 3 and Bad Company 2. Those two games were the pinnacle of the franchise.

TheEnigma313914d ago

BC2 was the best. they need to get back to that.

Battlefield 1, Hardline, BF4 Servers Are Being Taken Offline by Cheaters; EA Silent on Issue

Cheaters & hackers have been causing grief on Battlefield 1, Hardline & BF4 servers, with nonstop DDoS attacks among other things. Unfortunately, EA has remained silent about it.

-Foxtrot1145d ago

Course they are silent, they are hoping people flock to 2042

gamesftw2501144d ago

Maybe it was a inside job then haha.

jeromeface1144d ago

wouldnt be the first time, titanfall 1+2 anyone?

PapaBop1144d ago

Not even if they paid me.. EA always do this with old games with less money potential, if this was Ultimate Team, they'd address and sort it faster than stories could spread. Why invest time in their products when they will just dump it in the following years? Then again EA never could see the forest for the trees.

Inverno1144d ago

I imagine after those games were given out for free a couple months back through Amazon, anything that makes people go to 2042 is a plus for them

XiNatsuDragnel1145d ago

They want people to go on 2042. My theory

excaliburps1144d ago

Nah. I think they can't do anything about it or they want to sink money into fixing it.

Pudge1028881144d ago (Edited 1144d ago )

EA owns all BF servers so yes, they can do something about it but they refuse to because they dont want ppl playing their old games instead of the new one. Its EA we’re talking about here

pr33k331144d ago

if this happened in 2042, they'd have something to say. which is weird, considering battlefield 1 has more players on steam right now.

Pudge1028881144d ago

Its so obvious that EA is doing this or hired ppl to mess up the games so that we’d be forced to have just 1 Battlefield working.

FPS_D3TH1144d ago

Honestly it’s probably the devs themselves. They did an update to bf4 way back that kinda made assault rifles doo doo in hopes that people would flock to BF1 cuz BF4 was too perfect

Grabbed Panzer Dragoon, the Darkness, Conker Reloaded, Burnout Revenge, Time Splitters 2, Fight Night Champions, and Stuntman Ignition.

Essentially some of the classics that I can't get on PC, now that I have a Series S.
