EA will be fine imo but its definitely a sign something lurks negative with the battlefield franchise. None of us really know what state the game is in. However someone with money thinks its not good when they heard whatever news they were told. We shall see and we all hope its a fantastic game.
@ghinavirus They are doing a Titanfall 2 though with that release date and I don't expect them to keep it. 2 weeks After CoD, same week as Warzone revamp, and 2 weeks before F2P Halo. Someone is going to lose out in that trio.
Hoping the game will be finished in Nov and not pushed out by EA for Xmas sales it was going to me my first proper PS5 game lol

We’ve only seen a few seconds of gameplay so far, and unlike previous editions of Battlefield, BF2042 wasn’t displayed on Gamescon etc.
And now the release has been postponed.
I’m getting a bad feeling.
This ain’t a good sign.

@ninjapenquinukI believe the Hell Let Loose beta starts today, don't quote on me on that lol. But it's a fairly small dl like 5-6GB. You might want to give it a try and it tide you over until 2042, it releases the 5th of October on PS5.

@TankerFlankerwill be downloading it when i finish work and having a quick blast whilst the better half does the bedtime routine. The more hardcore games definitely take a bit of getting used to after Battlefield type games. I remember it took me a little while to get into the Red Orchestra games back in the day.

@1Hairy-Gorilla @ninjapenquinuk I've had a PS5 since around Feb, and I've played a lot of stuff on it. But I like action games more than shooters. I've played Sackboy, Miles Morales, Ratchet and Clank, and PS5 versions of Control and Avengers. Control Ultimate Edition in particular was amazing on PS5. Deathloop just released with Kena Bridge of Spirits up next week, but again those are action games.
BF2042 was going to be my first next gen multiplayer game.
Hell Let Loose seems interesting. I watched a stream on Twitch. Definitely a much slower, more "tactical" version of Battlefield.
Planetside 2 is a great stand in while waiting for BF2042. PS4 often struggled to run it, but it's smooth on PS5. I've seen graphics and effects that never showed up on PS4. Besides, the game is basically "what if Battlefield did an MMO" with large scale battles and massive continents. And its F2P
- 4 years ago@1Hairy-Gorilla well Halo will be free or I should say on gamepass. So it could hurt BF sales as people will have a game to play on PC/xbox. And if that 2042 has the typical BF launch, out of the trio, BF will suffer the most. COD may be trash but it will be playable. Halo should be fine.
I worry about the ponies with BF. We dont even know if it can run on PS5 or PS4. We so need the beta so we can discuss on this forum everything we see and feel in-game. - 4 years ago
@ghinavirus No the MP is F2P the SP is gamepass/full price.
