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?
BF2042 isn't competing with previous battlefield titles and he is not saying that it should be the same as prior battlefields.
What he is saying is that battlefield should not seek to emulate the competition and it should instead strive to innovate on the battlefield formula and produce a unique and interesting game. Not a nasty composition of all the parts of other games that EA thinks makes them successful.
