Battlefield 2042 - Reveal Trailer Premiere

Get your first look at the next generation of Battlefield – all-out warfare is back like you’ve never seen it before!

BigBosss1465d ago

That looked sick! Looking forward to the gameplay!

ChiefofLoliPolice1465d ago

Idk I'm definitely in the minority but the trailer just wasn't impressive to me at all.aybe the gameplay trailer will be better. This is just a reveal trailer though. Still love BF.

crazyCoconuts1465d ago

Yeah the trailer looked too wacky for BF. More like something you'd expect for Fortnite or something. That jet move and flying through a tornado? c'mon. I did like seeing the Shanghai deja vu there though. Taking a heli to the top and letting those cannons loose was good fun in IV

RaidenBlack1465d ago (Edited 1465d ago )

They are also targeting the CoD demographic this time after the success of MW'19 and Warzone.
A new F2P BF battle royale was also considered ... maybe later?

ChiefofLoliPolice1465d ago

It was just too goofy looking to me. Still I have to admit it's still MILES better then BFV trailer. Ugh...BFV trailer still leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I am looking forward to the gameplay reveal though. I'm sure it will be the best BF yet.

seanpitt231465d ago

I think they have ran out of ideas to be honest but we all know that in the actual game will be nothing like the trailer.. What would make it good is bullet damage - for eg if you get blown up legs and arms fly everywhere you cannot get revived by medic, but if you only get shot by small arms fire and get downed you still can get revived by teammates etc… I just hope it’s not like battlefield 5 mechanics they went backwards compared to battlefield 1

r2oB1465d ago

@ crazycoconuts

Jumping out of a jet, killing the enemy/jet, and landing back in your jet is something that could be done in previous Battlefield games.

Profchaos1465d ago (Edited 1465d ago )

Yeah I felt like it was mostly pre rendered and a standard frostbite look was applied I'll wait for gameplay footage but it didn't make me go woah actually the last bf game that stunned me graphically was probably BF3 even bfv on PC looked like it had a layer of plastic applied to everything.

aconnellan1465d ago

@crazy coconuts

The jet move is a Battlefield classic - this video is from BF3, but it was actually done way back in BF 1942:

This is looking seriously good.

So glad they referenced the rendezook. (the epic jet kill from BF3)

Ashunderfire861464d ago

Yup I was waiting for this comment someone talking about the reference. I see what you did there.

DOMination-1464d ago

Honestly IMO you can't judge the game based on a flashy cinematic trailer. Otherwise you could say the Just Cause Mobile game looks sick based off their "non-gameplay" trailer.

Lets wait for the actual gameplay. IMO this looked a bit silly for a game that has historically been a bit more grounded.

Good-Smurf1465d ago

No campaign so no buy for me until it's on discounted sale.
I like some Battlefield but I guess I'm getting old for stuff like this and not enough to buy it for only multiplayer.

REDGUM1465d ago

There's no campaign? Where did you hear or read this?

I_am_Batman1465d ago

"I think that's just something that enables us to really lean into what we are best at," Battlefield 2042 design director Daniel Berlin told Eurogamer about the lack of a single-player campaign - something that's been a series mainstay since Battlefield 3. "If you look at the DNA of the studio, what we've been doing for so long, we just said you know what, we're not going to have a traditional single-player campaign this time around, but we're going to put all that emphasis and all those resources into building depth into the multiplayer. Because that is what we do best."

seanpitt231465d ago

I am glad there is no campaign at least all the resources will have gone on MP and that what people play 99% of the time… I mean I have not even touched BF5 campaign

roadkillers1465d ago

Honestly, the campaign for Call of Duty and most "war" games are so damn generic. Plus, people buy this game for the multiplayer anyways. Idk, until I see gameplay I'm not buying

monkey6021465d ago

The Battlefield 5 campaign was shockingly bad. I wouldnt have missed its occlusion. Although to be fair it was probably my least favourite online game in the series too

RaidenBlack1465d ago (Edited 1465d ago )

BFV's North Africa's open ended missions were kinda good. But that's about it.
The whole "campaign" was criminally short.

Good-Smurf1465d ago

I skipped BF5 after open Beta it just too casual for me.
And I crave for campaign like BC2 but I guess they have to get something right again even if it meant ditching single player.
I'm not their fanbase though and their fans are mostly into Multiplayer.

Chexs19901465d ago

The problem with this is now where the price point will be though.
Typically, Multiplayer only games have a hard time including enough content from day 1 to warrant a full retail price tag.

On top of that, they already announced a battle pass, and I'm guessing there's going to be multiple currencies as well... Which makes me worry

-Foxtrot1465d ago

No campaign, most likely filled with MTs or other things to make you pay more and a Battle Pass which again having it is the only way to get extra perks

All for $70

May aswell stamp SUCKER on peoples heads

JEECE1465d ago

Lol the idea that anyone has cared about a Battlefield Campaign since the Bad Company series is laughable.

-Foxtrot1465d ago

@JEECE

Regardless, they should be striving for Bad Company quality

At least if it's not all that great you're still getting something for your money and something that can be played when the servers eventually go down.

JEECE1465d ago

I'd rather just have them make a better multiplayer so that the servers stay populated longer. I still play Battlefield 1 (not the best Battlefield game, but pvp multiplayer offerings were so bad last gen compared to the prior gen that it's still the best option), and there are still plenty of good servers on PS4. However, there is a zero percent chance I'm going to go play the singleplayer in 4 years when those servers are dead. That's just a thing people say, but no one, including you, actually means it.

It's honestly baffling to me why, after we emerged from the "every single player game needs a tacked-on multiplayer component" era and singleplayer studios started putting all their focus on what they are best at, people can't understand that the same logic works in reverse.

StoneyYoshi1465d ago

EA has stated the battle pass will be cosmetic only with a free and premium option. Similar to COD I'd assume. We will see when it happens but I'm hoping they aren't going to lie considering all the backlash they have gotten with BF5 and Battlefront 2.

FPS_D3TH1465d ago (Edited 1465d ago )

Oh no! Gamers who like different things! Tell me, how many have you played and how often do you bother replaying any of them? My guess? You don’t even play these games so why should we care?

badz1491464d ago

@JEECE

the fact that there is no campaign is not the problem but they are charging full price on both last and this gen which is the problem! MP only FPS for $60 and $70 current gen?? if their plan is to mimic CoD BO4, they are very late to the party already and CoD Warzone is the same thing and THAT is F2P!

JEECE1465d ago

I do expect to see a fair number of comments like these, but I think EA learned their lesson on this when, after years of hearing people whine about campaigns, no one cared about the campaigns in Titanfall 2 and Battlefront 2.

LordoftheCritics1465d ago

Titanfall 2 campaign was the highlight. That was the best reviewed aspect of the game. Every level had an innovative twist to it.

victorMaje1465d ago

The campaign is one of the main reasons I still recommend Titanfall 2 to friends.

-Foxtrot1465d ago (Edited 1465d ago )

People praised the campaign in Titanfall 2 though

Battlefront 2's campaign was awful because they put no effort into it and the story was laughable. Here's a die hard Empire fanatic who swears herself to the Empire despite seeing the Death Star II blow up...5 MINUTES LATER...she's one of Leias trusted rebels.

Maybe people don't care as much because most of the time they put no effort into them when they should be, rather than going "EA you guys need to improve the single player and put some heart into it" it's now "EA I don't mind you removing the single player and charging the same price for the game, I'll buy whatever you want". Yet in the next breath it's then "EA are awful, why do they treat gamers like this, like we are idiots"

...

RaidenBlack1465d ago

"no one cared about the campaigns in Titanfall 2" ~ you are kidding right?
Its one of the most lauded FPS campaign in past generation.

JEECE1465d ago

@everyone

I should have clarified; I'm aware of the critical reception for TF2's campaign. I mean that people didn't care in that it didn't help the game sell. People talked this big game about "no campaign, no buy," and then when Titanfall 2 added a campaign (which we've established was actually good in terms of quality), those people still just bought COD instead (and ironically probably didn't play the campaign in that). So when I say EA learned their lesson, I'm saying they learned that the people who act like the presence of a campaign is going to be a major influence on purchasing are either a very tiny but loud minority or just full of crap.

StoneyYoshi1465d ago

There will be offline modes you can play to just go against bots. There wont be a story but it's the closest thing to single player. You'll even be able to just do a match with your online squad vs only bots.

CorndogBurglar1465d ago

There is. You can play on a server full of nothing but bots if you want. And you can also have a full multiplayer match that fills spots with bots until real people join also.

FPS_D3TH1465d ago

The games multiplayer is the story. It’s being told in seasonal chapters. As a 31 year old dad gamer, I’m still all for it

giveyerheadawobble1465d ago

If this seriously has no campaign, then they can keep it. In fact, they can keep it anyway. EA/Dice have taken one too many dumps from on high in the past couple of years. The jokers are asking 70 quid for this shit too? Shove it. I don't care how good it looks. It ALWAYS looks good...then you play it and lo and behold, it doesn't look half as good as the trailer, then the bugs, the microtransactions, the unfinished game. Oh my...

Plenty of boring early access military realism sims on pc if you don't like fun.

FPS_D3TH1465d ago (Edited 1465d ago )

Lmao fr. There’s a really poor underfunded market for the hardcore shooters he’s after on pc. It’s underfunded because they’re not usually fun lmao. Tarkov is really the only decent one atm and squad. Talk about painful experiences and hours of boring gameplay though

1465d ago
JEECE1464d ago

@knightedHollow

Legitimate question, what are these better military fps games you speak of that aren't on PC? I'm just assuming you aren't talking about COD or Rainbow Six: Siege (at least I hope not). I enjoyed Tannenberg, but the community for games like that on console fades pretty quickly (whereas BF1 still has solid servers).

ChiefofLoliPolice1465d ago

I don't think it was terrible was just not impressed. It was too goofy and silly. It just didn't feel like a proper battlefield trailer, the trailer just made no sense at all.

Now BF1 trailer that was a good reveal trailer sure it used a popular song but it was heart pounding, right to the point, full of action that actually makes sense like you knew what was going on in the trailer, and there was nothing silly about it with those set pieces compared to the BFV and new trailer.

I think the gameplay trailer will be better. Either way I am looking forward to the next BF.

CorndogBurglar1465d ago

Yeah, BF1 had a good reveal trailer. But the game sucked balls.

And as silly as this trailer was, its much more true to how an actual game of BF goes. People have this weird idea that BF games are like ultra realistic military games, but they aren't. Matches are silly and silly things happen in them.

badz1491464d ago

if they would have called this Just Cause 4 MP mod, I would believe it!

Shubhendu_Singh1465d ago

Better than BF1 trailer which was pretty good not gonna lie.

Gameplay footage on 12th June people, just wait 3 more days. This trailer is just for visuals and hype.

ChiefofLoliPolice1465d ago

Gotta disagree with that. BF1 trailer was straight and to the point, you knew what was going on with the action and set pieces and it wasn't silly at all. BF 2042 trailer was just all over the place, it was too goofy and silly to me.

deleted1465d ago (Edited 1465d ago )

That scene where the pilot ejects out of his jet with a rocket launcher, somehow manages to shoot it midair, then lands safely back on his jet.... I was like, is this Just Cause? @3:50 the tornado shows up..... yep. XD

LordoftheCritics1465d ago

That jet scene was a tribute to fans of BF3. That actually happened in BF3 multiplayer.

FPS_D3TH1464d ago

Loopzuke is as old as the very first battlefield game bf1942

Spenok1465d ago (Edited 1465d ago )

LordofCritics is right. Someone pulled it off and it was STUPID epic. Them paying tribute to it was pretty freaking cool if you ask me.

OtterX2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

theHunter Call of the Wild is the best hunting game ever made. I understand it may not be everyone's cup of tea, it can be really slow going. But the environments (they look phenomenal, especially for a 2017 game!), the satisfaction of finally landing a Gold or a Diamond keep you coming back for more. I have over 600 hours in it, my dad in his 70's has around 1,500 in it! The only game he plays, even bought a PS4 Pro for it back in 2019 lol We get on almost every week to catch up bc we live about 4,000 miles apart overseas. New Snowy Canadian map is coming out this next Tuesday. I highly recommend this one! 👍

**I'm really happy to see Eiyuden Chronicles on here. I was about to buy that one after replaying the Suikoden Remasters recently!

jznrpg2d ago

How’s the ballistics in the game? If it’s done well I may check it out.

OtterX1d 12h ago

they've gotten better with some updates throughout the years, but I wouldn't say they are perfect. But they're good enough that it's still a lot of fun. If you hang around their discord a while, you'll see quite a number of avid real life hunters who are pleased enough.

andy852d ago

Yeesh. Pretty awful tbh and the PS premium support is shocking

repsahj1d 23h ago

They should combine the premium and extra subscriptions and use the extra pricing for it.

OtterX1d 12h ago (Edited 1d 12h ago )

Yea, that was my biggest complaint. If it weren't for my Portal, I would have cancelled my Premium. But it looks like they've leaned in on the streaming aspect as a selling point of Premium now, instead of the Classics. :\ I do like the streaming on Portal!

Npugz72d ago

Firebreak has been surprisingly fun. Can't wait for the full game. And Deus Ex!

Vince Zampella: Battlefield "Absolutely Can" Outsell Call of Duty; BF2042 Was Not a "Failure"

Battlefield franchise boss thinks Battlefield "absolutely can" outsell Call of Duty, but says they're not targeting that with the next entry.

TheNamelessOne269d ago

Feel like if that were true, we would have seen it during the BF3/4 era. Just focus first on releasing a Battlefield that's actually feature complete, well put together, that people actually want to play right out of the gate. Hoping Zampella can make this happen.

JEECE269d ago

The best opportunity was BF1 vs. Infinite Warfare. I've never actually seen a worldwide sales comparison so I'm not convinced BF1 didn't eventually win, but I do know COD sold better in the US at launch, because it was the NPD #1 that year, while BF was #2.

SonyStyled269d ago

The best opportunity was with BC2 and BF3. BF4 dropped the ball with a short campaign and bugged multiplayer at launch

Cacabunga269d ago

Release a decent game and let the mouth to eat do the rest.. you choose to release another BF4 then blame yourselves for it

JEECE268d ago

@SonyStyled

Definitely not BC2. I love the Bad Company games (even though everyone always pretends the first one didn't exist), but even though BC2 has achieved great respect in hindsight, at the time it came out a lot of casuals who bought COD every year either didn't know of Battlefield's existence or saw it as a knockoff of COD. Plus coming out in spring 2010 it was competing against MW2 (the original one) which came out the prior fall.

ChronoJoe269d ago

I mean, the title of the game doesn't have a lot to do with how it sells. The next game is not going to change things but Zampella course change the course of the series towards something that's more on track with that those big player numbers.

With that said, battlefield fans might not want that. To acquire the wider audience they would probably need to betray a lot of the series design principles. Call of Duty is as popular as it is because it is as simple as it is.

-Foxtrot269d ago

"BF2042 Was Not a "Failure"

Suuuuuuure thing little buddy...

excaliburps269d ago

In his defense, BF2042 did turn things around eventually though still falls short of franchise expectations if you based it on BF4, BF3, BF1.

trez1082269d ago

Hated it at lunch, came back a two years after and it was an absolute blast. Not sure how it did sales wise to be called failure or success but BF2042 is a pretty good game .

ElaBosak268d ago

In what way was it a failure exactly?

Outside_ofthe_Box269d ago

Microsoft would just buy EA if that happens.

8bitAssassin268d ago (Edited 268d ago )

We don't need more games ruined. It's like that company puts water on their bread before they eat it.

Inverno269d ago

Here we go again with rubbing mouths. BF has been a flop consistently since BF4, and I mean flop as in disappointing to the fan base due to the technical issues each has had and the gameplay changes needlessly made. Shut up and make a good BF before hyping up another potential disappointment.

Fishy Fingers269d ago (Edited 269d ago )

Bro gave one pretty decent interview and answered the questions he was asked. Not really his fault if people want to cherry pick quotes for "content".

Stick to reading source https://www.ign.com/article...

X-23269d ago

I don't mind them claiming BF2042 wasn't a failure so long as they learned from it and use that experience moving forward into the new game, it was terrible at launch but towards the end it got a bit better. I don't want to see the same thing play out with the new BF though because the ones who are still interested in the franchise have been pretty vocal with what they want and don't want from Battlefield.

ElaBosak268d ago

Learn what exactly? The game was great.
