- @carsono311 I do think the stock will recover. All stocks these days seem to recover and they also are very volatile to any news or rumor. Just the type of markets we have right now.
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.
- @1Hairy-Gorilla im the same. 6 months into treating myself to a PS5 for my big 40 and im yet to have any PS5 games - just the FIFA 21 upgrade from PS4.
@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
- @ghinavirus Good points. Generally, Live Service games don't seem to do well when we get lead ups like we've had with this game. I had my doubts given the scale they are talking about, and the fact it's only been 2 years since they stopped support for BFV and Battlefront 2.
This game feels like the kind of game that needs at least 4 years to get right. Throwing more studios at it doesn't necessarily help that.
