I hope battlefield doesn’t die, but, if it does, I’m calling Rockstar
They make bigger bucks for understanding their user base
Forum Discussion
@SmackChatHC They understand their userbase so much that Rockstar North haven't put a new game out since 2013. What this has to do with 2042 I have no idea though.
- @A_al_K_pacino_A But you just said it. Rockstar north vamped GTA V continuously. It was one of the most played games during COVID. Dice needs to do the same, and Portal is their last chance. Throwing * solutions such as force feed us the costume party game model won’t cut it.
- @SmackChatHC yes. Portal to me looks like something that should get updated and carry on whatever the current battlefield game is. But the game doesn't just need support from publisher and developers but the sales to match, without those GTA wouldn't get the support
Doesn't GTA generate a small fortune from microtransactions....?
- @A_al_K_pacino_A Well the success, the marketing, and the model that is the way GTA has been supported is something for others to look at. Obviously there are some differences, but business practices or how a development studio work with their customer/fan base is certainly interchangeable.
I don't think it's gonna die.
Of course this new take on the franchise will attract a different number of players (higher or lower we don't know yet). But if it's higher (and I bet it's gonna be higher), we have 3 modes to play with, from here EA will see what works in general and what not, and adjust for the next title maybe.
This BF has everything (on paper) so basically it caters to every kind of player and his/her expectations, it's a good thing in theory, but having a split community and barren servers is also a potential issue that this kind of approach might generate.
