The Force is Strong With PlayStation

PlayStation Blog: "Star Wars Battlefront II launches this week on PS4. Enjoy our new live-action TV spot, Rivalry."

Well thats a good commercial I guess? haha
I cant wait f this one.

[mkis007]

This has some damn great direction to it.

[Gazondaily]

Is the force strong with Battlefront 2 though? 🤔

[Rude-ro]

I was wondering why one game with loot boxes was getting attacked while all others are being ignored. Is this your pr crew hard at work septic? Anything for Microsoft!

[Kribwalker]

i agree. i don’t understand why Forza 7 and Shadow of war have been getting so much hate with their loot boxes while games like Destiny 2,UC4, overwatch and even Fifa soccer get a free pass

[XStation4pio_Pro]

Because gamers love manufacturing scandal and ar often too dumb or naive to understand the financials (if adjusted for inflation, game prices have maintained level pricing while game development costs have increased dramatically, hence MTs).

It’s funny to me that Sony bought all the marketing rights for this game considering all the loot box controversy over F7 and shadow of war which MS had marketing rights for and yet BFII looks and runs better on X at the end of it.

Every game that has loot boxes are attacked. But with BF2 EA took it to a whole new level severely affecting multiplayer and also trying to trick reviewers with copies that had a different loot box system than the retail version. EA is attacked because they took it way too far with SWBF2 and it looks like they did the same with NFS Payback. Angry Joe already gave 2/10 to NFS Payback. Just don't buy EA games at full retail price.

Oh wow youtube person gave it 2/10!? What a stand for the Proletariat!

Revolution!!!!!!

Oh...are we not doing that?

[EatCrow]

Well...huge difference.
Its not just lootboxes. Its specifically they way theyre used.
Not to mention MS has lootboxes in their games too...they dont get a pass either. Trangression is not as severe as what BF2 does.

It directly affects your progression and therefore capabilities in multiplayer.
It is a pay to win model. Other gamers can choose to spend more and will have an immediate advantage over others who decide not to buy these lootboxes.

That is very different from other games. Especially in a game centered around multiplayer.

@Kirbwalker
They dont get a free pass. Lootboxes suck in general. But many of those games are not pay to win.

All games with lootboxes are attacked and unless youre living under a rock or choose to ignore terrible business practices towards consumers you would know that.

@WeebLord

That was a dumb comment. Angry Joe reviews are just as valid as any other game review. But look at other reviews for NFS Payback. It's pretty much all bad.

Your overdramatized sarcasm does not make you look smart.

Great commercial!

[badboyz09]

Pass

I’ve already played it on EA Access. Looks amazing on the X and is better than the last one (controversy aside). Kinda funny that all their marketing was spent on the PS4 and it runs better on X. Take that exclusive marketing deals.

[Redemption-64]

It’s actually very embarrassing to think you don’t even know how marketing deals work. Marketing deals are meant to help sell more copies of a particular game on the systems its being marketed with, or simply bring attention to the system, doesn’t matter which looks best (PC by a galaxy mile, just in case you were wondering). If the games sells a lot on PS4 and sells more PS4s then Sony has done a good job. MS can claim to have the best looking games, if you ignore PC, but as long as Sony sells more, it will mean most people don’t care about the power difference. So what do you think companies care, bragging about having the best looking games, or knowing your systems is selling more games? Take a wild guess. MS marketed Tomb Raider, yet it sold more on PS4, and I can almost guarantee AC and Shadow of war, both marketed by MS will sell more on PS4. Now that is what you call an insult, to do nothing, but still outperformed your competition

[maybelovehate]

That is an awesome commercial.

[Mister_G]

I like the advert! Very good. Hope the game is game too :)

[EatCrow]

If I were sony I would distance myself from EA and this game in particular.
