Hello! I was wondering what the general reception to this game would have been if it wasn't marketed as a Battlefield game. What if it was more of a fun sandbox game that combined different EA game content, such as Battlefield, Battlefront, and Apex Legends? Or even if the content was basically the same, but the game was named something else, what would you have thought?
Thank you for looking at this, and I hope you have a great day!
It isn't except for in name only IMO but if 2042 wasn't marketed as a Battlefield game it might've had a far different reception like Apex did since it wasn't failing at almost every metric that dictates what proper Battlefield game is.
It was the same thing for Hardline, if it didn't have 2 decades (around 15 years at the time) of what makes a proper Battlefield game a Battlefield game to live up to Hardline could have found its niche and could've had the creative freedom it needed to succeed instead of ram-rodding a cops and robbers game into the mold of Battlefield game's shoes.
That being said finance people at large companies don't like the uncertainty associated with new IPs so it's preferable in their eyes to slap an established game title's name on it and they'll have a pre-made audience that will automatically buy it even if they'll hate it after playing it.
