BF Portal WW2 Opportunity List (BF1942 + BFV)
Hello everyone, First of all, thanks to all the teams at DICE and Ripple effect for what's going to be the ultimate FPS in the next 6-7 years if the live service is like the one from other games suc...

@carsono311 This was the reasoning behind my 'wake up call' thread.
I fear people are raising unachievable expectations about firstly, being able to fully create their vision. Once created, will they realise that their vision may not be shared by enough people.
That said, I'm with you on that I hope it all works and such servers succeed but knowing the fickle nature of this 'community', I have my fears.

I think there is going to be a bit of the Roblox or Minecraft about it, in that there are going to be people dabbling and others getting their teeth into it and carving a reputation for themselves. We'll gravitate to those game designers that set up playable games. I used to teach computing, and every kid used to join a class thinking they were going to immediately code a game, and not realise that it takes a lot of learning before that happens. I watch my granddaughter browse Roblox after Roblox game looking for something decent to play. I'm imagining that there will be some sort or "like" system so we can gauge popularity and playability, but we will all have our favourites.
I also expect that the Portal will be represented well on You Tube with the most popular designers pulling together a community/audience around them.
@carsono311 Thx for the support!
I can understand you scepticism for Portal as previously I was also around the forum back when BFV was announced with the same kind of topic, but the direction that took the game was pretty weird in my opinion. They wanted to show the untold stories of WW2, which is a good idea in my POV to make people think about it (if only they carz about the scenario of a map). But they didn't show the biggest faction of the war: USSR... Like they just erased them from the history in their game...
And I remember back in these days the polemic between community and developpers already from the trailer "accept it or don't buy it" and then to the forum where the "players present on the forums are not representative of the proportion of players playing the game, so the idea and opinion on the forum aren't representative of what really want the playerbase". Even if it's quite true, but then forums doesn't have any purpose then, I just left it loose any hope on BFV.
But with BF Portal I think and hope it will be way different for several reasons:
1 - They saw all the polemic that did go around BFV and learnt from it (i hope)
2 - They choose to "remaster" BF1942, which is the logic choice as BFV is the last entry ey to the franchise and still played. BF1942, was designed to reflect historical accuracy, principaly with factions restricted arsenal. And BF Portal gives the possibility to respect the setting of the original games.
3 - According to the trailers, you can feel that they really want to build BF2042 and Portal with the community, this time.
4 - It's purely subjective but I think the business model as evolved in the past years with games such as Fortnite, Warzone, Rainbow 6 Siege... Today the objective isn't to sell a game every X period of time. The goal is to sell a battle pass every year and focus to develop only 1 game during several years. And I really think BF2042 and Portal are designed to follow this model through the new gen of consoles life.
And to answer to @Trokey66, I don't expect this list to be achieved in 1-2 years (like i expected from BFV since all ressources were working on a WW2 game) , but if in 4-6 years of live service we have it, It will be perfect and worth it to pay a battle pass every year to support the development studios in my opinion (even if i don't care that much for skins).
Hi there @EA_Joz, thx for the cheers, yes Solomon Island was really good, maybe you guys can do some remaster with the same atmosphere in the future :P
@Johannes_de_Nova Yes, I think we will enjoy portal the same way you and me!! Guess i'll perhaps see you on the BF1942 servers :D
