A Battlefield 2042 dev says that the shooter is "not a project in trouble," and shares more about the development process and the delay announcement.
This is an interesting mix but two popular franchises have combined.
This month, join forces to tackle the paranormal crises of a mysterious federal agency under siege in the cooperative first-person shooter FBC: Firebreak, lead your team to victory in the iconic all-out warfare of Battlefield 2042, test your skills as a new Fazbear employee managing and maintaining the eerie pizzeria of Five Nights at Freddy’s: Help Wanted 2 or live for the thrill of the hunt in the realistic hunting open world theHunter: Call of the Wild. All of these titles and more are available in June’s PlayStation Plus Game Catalog lineup*.
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!
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.
They should combine the premium and extra subscriptions and use the extra pricing for it.
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!
Firebreak has been surprisingly fun. Can't wait for the full game. And Deus Ex!
Battlefield 2042's Rush Mode faces criticism due to passive playstyles that hinder objective-based gameplay.
They have to say that though don't they. It's not as though they would tell us the real issues they were actually dealing with. We've been burnt way too many times to fall for shallow spin. Sure take as much time as you need to make the game great. True it doesn't mean the project is in trouble, it just means that the game is not where you thought it would be at this stage.
When a developer has to reassure people everything is okay it usually means that something is up. With it being an EA game...well....you know the rest
Obviously not in trouble, the delay is minimal.
For EA to delay something, I'd say it's in trouble. I hope to be proven wrong but this is EA who have a long history of releasing broken messes.
I want the game to be good, but that Beta won't be the recent build, it'll be a 2-3 months old "stable" build, so I'm pretty out of the loop on what to feel about this title currently.
It's pretty frustrating to buy "live" service games that can be patched to the "fixed" state, like why sell something broken?
I can echo that point for say Halo, why shove the game out the door without co-op or forge & make something that players "can" buy complete 4-6 months down the line.
Zero accountability & when games launch broken, the devs that were outspoken before launch suddenly go MiA.
Hope for the best, plan for the worst. GL regardless :p
