I'm sure Apex will be on PS5. The question is in what form?
Are they going to take the game to another level with more players, bigger maps, new game modes, etc.? That's I think what most would want to see, but it would mean splitting off form the PS4 community. Still, I think that's the direction they have to move in or risk getting left behind, and I mean way behind. Warzone has already moved the BR experience forward in a variety of ways:
- Much higher player counts on a larger map
- Alternate objectives scattered throughout the map
- The Gulag
- Plunder mode, allowing players to experience the full map in a respawning environment. Don't feel like BR? Want to hunt Easter eggs or otherwise explore the map? Drop into Plunder mode and enjoy the sandbox level gameplay Battlefield fans have known since Battlefield 1942. You don't have to log out because it's BR or nothing else.
- Warzone is baked into the full Modern Warfare game, so you can shift gears to standard game modes or single player...again without logging out of the game. Sort of like if Apex Legends was a game mode within TitanFall 2.
So if Warzone is doing all this in 2020 on current hardware, what is coming on PS5 and Xbox Series X? I don't think Apex can just show up and expect to stay in the conversation with maybe some better load times.
How cool would it be if Respawn gave us a mode like Plunder or some other respawn mode to enjoy these maps on?
How about bigger maps, with NPCs all around...maybe dare say Titans?
How about a mode with the different landmarks as capture points in a tug of war scenario like War mode in COD? Two teams...60 players per team operating in squads of 3. Dropship keeps passing over the map at intervals to for people to respawn. You can only take points next to territory you control. You get bonus points working as a squad.
Just some thoughts lol.
