You all had a unique series and you try to make it something that other AAA studios have already locked down the market for. If I want to play a hero shooter, why would I go play yours when apex and cod are both highly polished and successful already?
Do they not understand that if you create a similar game to an already released game, you aren't going to compete. Creating a similar game in an supersaturated market is stupid.
Creating a new game that would take people away and give them something new to enjoy, that's competing. Creating a new game with the goal of making it good, it will then become popular.
I'm just tired of this.. I'm not even angry, its just sad man.
BATTLEFIELD 2042 - WTF HAPPENED? Development Timeline & The Future of Battlefield
There are a lot of contradictions in this post. You state if you create a similar game to an already released game, you aren't going to compete", yet you want DICE to make a game that is no different from its previous titles.
You also state, "Creating a new game with the goal of making it good, it will then become popular." While they still need to fix bugs in the system, they did make a new game, their goal was to be enjoyable and different to attract new players.
I am not sure what you want, the old and repeated that similar to every other BF game, or something new and different?
I'll give an answer. We want the old and repeated BF style and formula that is tried and true while also incorporating some new ideas along the way (whatever those may be I don't know). The problem is there's been a lot of turnover at DICE and the new blood may not really know how to follow the traditional Battlefield formula. Or maybe they do but EA is pulling them in a different direction. CrashGames who worked with Tom Henderson on the article shows anonymous employee reviews of what's going on at EA and DICE and it's not pretty. Seems like there's a lot of blame to go around. But I think if they continue down this super hero road it may not end well.
@BtheReaper49When you put 'We' in a thread/post of this nature and don't quantify or contextualise said 'We', it can only be assumed that that 'we' means everyone.
Neither you or the OP has quantified or contextualised your 'We' which allows any reader to assume you mean everyone.
As he said, you both don't speak for everyone.
@Trokey66 Honestly, its just me venting a bit after I keep seeing more info come out about the development cycle. It's nothing super deep everyone needs to pick apart. Can agree or not, doesn't matter, I'd encourage people to share what they think and like though because I really want to like this game. Been waiting for something to give me the same joy of as when I played 3. Maybe I'll pick it up after a few updates but whenever I read more, what pops into my head is like a parent saying "I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed" lol
@AntEater1997Fair enough but I do think people are letting things like that video get under their skin and cause unnecessary and unwarranted anger.
Let us discount bugs for a minute and that rediculous list of 'missing features' that is floating around.
When you are in game with your mates, shooting and blowing stuff up, hoonong around in a wide variety of vehicles and having a blast, what is fundamentaly missing and be honest?
Whilst my mates and I accept that there are issues, we are warming to the game that more often than not feels like playing Battlefield.
@Trokey66What I'm finding is that outside of times I have played with friends, there is literally no cohesion going on. Even though anyone can revive, it's rare for me to ever get revived by a random. Squads have been more or less an afterthought for a long time (since BF2142), but it's worse in this game than I've seen it before.
I could fire up a game like BF4 on my own and still feel a sense of teamwork. I can try to take a flag on my own with squad mates maybe spawning in on me, and the hunt is on!
I get none of that with this game. No cohesion. No teamwork. Every time I roll into a flag, defenders immediately run EXACTLY to my position. It doesn't matter what small corner I've tried to creep into. I've never been lasered like this immediately before in really any shooter, much less Battlefield.
Last night I'm on Breakaway taking B2 flag on the rig. I was in a corner under one of the stairs, when a proxy nade bounces 10 ft in front of me. Right on cue, I get lit up by someone running right to my position!
I feel like I'm just basically logging in to mindlessly play a shooter and rank up...you know...like with COD lol!!
