Ex-DICE developers’ very un-Battlefield shooter goes into open beta

Now’s your chance to see what The Finals is all about.

Beta is out Now on PS5, PC, XBOX

It's well worth Checking out.

Ironic title because it's actually more battlefield than battlefield is right now. It has dedicated classes, a gameplay loop and mechanics that encourage teamwork, insanely better destruction, and gameplay that rewards experimentation and in turn makes for a lot of random cool moments aka battlefield moments that bf2042 lacks

Open beta sounds to much like online to me. Nah.

OMGitzThatGuy596d ago

A multiplayer game’s beta is online, shocker.

I did fk my words up from what I was originally trying to say but to late for that edit button now.

That's the reason for the nah. Online games just take away from the single player games. So many games could've actually turned out pretty dope but they went with the multiplayer for the sake to nickel and dime. Could you imagine how dope that evil dead game could've been if it'd had been single player. So many games out there with wasted potential.

OMGitzThatGuy596d ago

So you use a game that was designed as a multiplayer game as a comparison? Sounds like you don’t want any multiplayer games at all, you can’t complain about the possibility of multiplayer taking from away from the single player and then ALSO wanting online games to be single player instead. Seems the only gamers with this mindset are PS gamers as that is all they are being given by Sony. Not everyone wants to play a game for 10-20 hours and move to the next game, and no one wants to play the same story over and over after experiencing it for the first time, they both have their place.

I can tell you're an older gamer like me cause I 100% get what you're trying to say 😅 basically you just miss single player experiences even in games designed for MP. Examples being games like Unreal Tournament, Battlefield series, especially Bad Company, just like all the things that make it fun but with a little direction, slightly linear.

I could definitely see like a basic sp objective based pve mode in this game being dope. But those days are gone unfortunately.

You may wanna log off now mate. What you just spouted is incredibly dumb.

Asplundh596d ago

Some of us enjoy multiplayer games, not every game needs to be single player only.

Flenter596d ago

The Finals is really fun. That's what is all about right ?

monkey602596d ago

I went in with low expectations and I'm really enjoying it

badboyz09596d ago

never was a dice fan I'll pass.

Suppose it depends how old you are. They were at one point the pinnacle of shooters. Console only gamers would never have had the chance to experience the original 2142 or battlefield 2. Maybe you got o play bad company 2 if you are old enough.

Anyhow, anything EA acquired went to shit eventually. Bioware used to be top of the RPG market. Now...what is bioware even.

slate91596d ago

Bf2 and Bf2142, ah a man of culture I see

Binarycode596d ago

Maybe give it a go. I think you'll see it has a lot to offer. It's free. Teamplay is a must, Chaos, damage everywhere. Tons of fun.

How The ROG Xbox Ally Perfectly Aligns With Microsoft’s Strategy

Shaz from Pixel Swish: "The ROG Xbox Ally is another step towards Team Xbox’s 'Play Anywhere' strategy, and perfectly embodies the company’s future and how we’re all going to be playing an 'Xbox' in the future."

The funny thing about Xbox going more PC-like is that I’ve been saying this for over a decade and finally seeing it come to fruition. People use to hate the idea, but now are embracing it, and all I want is to be put on the payroll lol.

On a serious note, I think this is the best route going forward for MS. They don’t have to get out of the hardware game altogether. They can make their home console $300 entry & $600 premium home consoles and from there partner with other hardware makers for anything beyond that. Focus on being a publisher and creating a strong OS / Cloud option for other devices like desktop, handheld PCs, streaming devices, etc…

I honestly think they should also look into NVIDIA as well, with NVIDIA starting to make their own CPUs. Their CPU is already on par with AMDs best laptop CPUs of the previous/current generation which is more than enough, and a RTX 5000 / 6000 laptop GPU hybrid (DLSS 4 / DLSS5) could do wonders for them, and bring some much needed diversity back to console hardware.

I saw this years ago. I don't see how it took this long for people actually close to the industry.

Abnor_Mal21m ago

I said this years ago, mind you I know nothing about computers, but I always thought Xbox would go more PC-like.

As I said, and always said, I know squat about PCs, so I thought Xbox would become modular. I don’t know if that’s the right word, but I thought they would build a basic frame/shell and gamers would be able to configure their Xbox how they wish, similar to PC and buy motherboards, sound cards and graphic cards. I don’t know if that’s practical or even possible though.

This was when they first entered the gaming space.

Lots of Improvements Coming to MythForce on June 26

"First-person roguelikes like Gunfire Reborn and Roboquest can be quite fun when done well. Another such game is MythForce, which comes from Beamdog, the developer that brought Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 to modern platforms (while mostly ditching the co-op). MythForce features cartoon-like visuals and a fantasy theme, making it quite different from most of its peers. It will soon reach its "final form" via the upcoming Version 1.2 update," says Co-Optimus.
