EA Explains Why Next Battlefield Is Skipping a Year, Says It Will Be "Driven Around Live Service"

EA explains why Battlefield is skipping a year, and confirms that the future project wil focus on live services like Battlefield 5.

BlueBlue2061d ago

Is the management at EA that coco in the head? Are they blind to the financial success of Battlefield 1 compared to Battlefield V? Are they actually stupid or are they playing some 4d-chess based long-term strategy that we can't begin to comprehend? So many questions to be asked and no soothing answers.

Nitrowolf22061d ago

I mean, yes? Remember these guys coined the term surprise mechanics and defended bad grinding with statements like pride and accomplishment. They also had zero faith in single-player games.

RosweeSon2061d ago

I have zero faith in EA at this point if I want bland tried and tested average 7-8 outta 10 games on a yearly basis I know where to go.

UltraNova2061d ago

Damn...BF is done just I was afraid it would be.

Thank you EA for making my life easier by reducing the amount of games I have to add to my never ending backlog. Your shitty GaaS games will not be missed.

ravinash2060d ago

@ Nitrowolf2 - your statement says it all really.

RpgSama2061d ago

I'm going to be driven to NOT buy it then.

excaliburps2061d ago

Man, I just want a modern Battlefield game. BF3 and BF4 were the best. I'm kinda sick of WW-era shooters.

xX-oldboy-Xx2061d ago

Yep - nothing more, nothing less.

Profchaos2061d ago

I'm sick of generic shooters and bf feels as generic as they come lately.

princejb1342060d ago

i remember when everyone started cheering when it was a ww era type of game. How times have changed

Mroc132060d ago

Yep. Modern with lots of guns, equipment and a ton of attachments to unlock.

outsider16242060d ago

Remember when they showed battlefield 3 with jets returning to the series. I was blown away. Then the multiplayer...ohh mannnn

And it will stay a dream. EA never learns.

bluefox7552060d ago

Publishers don't understand the gaming community. They see something that's profitable and they try to imitate it, oblivious to the backlash and culture change that results.

I don't trust them. This will probably be a failure.

specialguest2061d ago

They aim to please the shareholders. The gamers are just 2nd tier priority to them

Leeroyw2061d ago

Live Service?

Hard pass from me.

They don't Learn.

gamesftw2502061d ago

Yep...EA is going to need to be nice to get trust back.

UltraNova2061d ago

Aint never happening, they don't care and statements like this are proof of it. Tbh why would they care when millions still buy their games and spend hundreds of millions on MTs?

Its sad but its true.

criticalkare2061d ago

Dont fall for their yeah we are skipping a year to make battlefield great they probably release unpolished and lack of content oh yeah we will fix it down the line

excaliburps2061d ago

BC2 remastered? One can hope. Anything modern works too. Just as long as enemies are visible, and we get no prone meta, I'm good.

Limitedtimestruggle2061d ago

BC2 remastered in between. BFV and the next one, might fill the gap nicely.

Majin-vegeta2061d ago

Bc 2 was fun for it's time.But it would feel a step back with 24 players vs 64

Nitrowolf22061d ago

@Majin
But it could be what they need honestly. Plus, maybe they can return to true full destruction

Blu3_Berry2061d ago

Gotta figure out the best way to monetize it for next-gen.

The director of the original Silent Hill: “I look forward to seeing bold interpretations.”

Keiichiro Toyama—the creator and original director of the 1999 Silent Hill—shared his personal thoughts on the recently announced remake by Konami, reflecting on what the project means to him after more than two decades:
“I felt something similar when the game was adapted into a movie. It deeply moved me to see the names of the characters and locations I had created come to life visually, even though I wasn’t directly involved. That wouldn’t have been possible without the continued support of the fans and the dedication of the developers who’ve kept the series alive.
I’m really looking forward to seeing how the remake evolves this time. With the advanced technology we now have, I’m sure I’ll be surprised by how the game is reimagined. Since the original was built for the first PlayStation, there will naturally be challenges—like the camera and controls—but I’m eager to see bold and creative solutions to those elements.”

Haha Not only is bold and creatively not what the industry wants, it’s not what most people want.

They want to get scammed and pay twice for a thing they already own.

jznrpg13h ago

I’m sure many would want bold and creative done well, but that’s easier said than done. I like variety so give me a little bit of everything, done well of course.

Nightcrawler891d 14h ago

Hope they use his vision in the game

Inverno1d 14h ago

Was the SH2 remake even bold? Or was it more or less just a 1 to 1 over the shoulder remake?

Scissorman22h ago

it was not. it greatly expanded the areas and puzzles to the point where it felt like an entirely new game. the enemies and boss fights were given a MASSIVE upgrade. the abstract daddy fight in particular was incredible. and the team added two new endings.

Pedrof1d 13h ago

I wouldn't hold my breath on "bold".
