"but an overall malaise with the FPS genre"

what, the BF series is pretty much raping all other fps since bf1942.

so the author of this blog is tired of FPS, then... SO WHAT?

i hate olives and wont do a blog about it. BOYCOTT OLIVES, DEMAND MORE DILL PICKLES!

malokevi3795d ago

Come on, now. Plenty of room for both olives and pickles in this world! =)

windblowsagain3795d ago

Never forget the gherkins.

As for BF4, it's stunning and is is the best FPS besides BF3.

ThanatosDMC3795d ago

I'm actually losing the function of my DS4 controller after the patch if I ever press the PS4 button or the Share button. I cant press anything any more after I go back to the game.

Only started happening after the most recent patch but I havent had any dropped from server issues.

StinkiWan3795d ago

Sounded like the research he quoted in the article said BF was losing the sales war to COD. Not sure what you mean by "raping all other fps since bf1942"....

PeaSFor3795d ago

in term of EVERYTHING but sales, i dont play sales, i play good games.

venom063795d ago (Edited 3795d ago )

wow.. what a STUPID CoD fanboy article.. one the more pointless articles on N4G to date.. so this clown has a issue with "FPS genre" but has to mention BF4, when stupid crap that he's talking about can also apply to CoD GHOSTS as well...

the fact of the matter is the FSP genre is striving.. BF4 is a AMAZING AMAZING game now that the crashes has vastly decreased. Even CoD GHOSTS is decent this year (just boring as hell and the spawns are garbage).. so yeah, this article was pointless and kinda dumb.

Necro_5593795d ago

Yeah, the FPS is over blown. However, Battlefield 4 is not one of them. When its working, its a FANTASTIC GAME. People need to stop judging all shooters because of COD.

BF4 on PC has been amazing.

Most of these blogs are like this:

* Guy doesn't like certain genre anymore so bashed it and says that it doesn't appeal to anyone or everyone is sick of it.

It's really this guy projecting HIS views onto other people and acting like EVERYBODY thinks like him.

Pretty self centered.

Just like most blogs and "journalists" today

I want to buy BF4, but not before they fix the bugs.

joab7773795d ago

Its still amazing and on ps4...before patch I got kicked like 5 x...after...maybe a couple in 3-4 wks. Its an amazing game and its definitely worth it!

brich2333795d ago (Edited 3795d ago )

The real problem with Battle field 4 is too many damn GRENADES being tossed at me, and nothing i can do about it. BF3 a grenade would land next to you, and u can move out the way. Now in BF, there are 3 different types of grenades, and if an Impact Greanade lands next to u, it blows up and u cant do anything about it. Its basically a noobtube, and u get 2 of them. And then the Mini Grenades u get 3. To much grenade spaming in BF4.

SharnOfTheDEAD3795d ago

Isn't there equipment similar to CODs trophy system to destroy explosives? I swear I see Jack Frags show it in a video, but I haven't unlocked it yet

brich2333795d ago

Support gets a trophy system but its not for grenades. Its for tank rockets, or Rpgs i believe. What needs to be done is make Grenades specific to certain classes.

Example, Scout should get Impact grenades only, Engineer minis, and Assault and Support the M67 Grenade.

xxxsiegezzz3794d ago

Maybe in tdm, but not in conquest.

TheDarpaChief3795d ago

No, you see in order to solve the real problem you must switch from xbox to playstation... lol i kid but i deeply believe this series should now be boycotted especially due to the fact rumors are swirling about an annual release

MRMagoo1233795d ago

I think FPS games will take a back seat to other genres this gen, they where pretty much the only games getting big sales last gen and it was 7 years or so of the same thing, i would like to think most ppl will be kinda bored of it now and move on to other genres like RPG and what not. At least thats what i am hoping for because a whole gen full of fps again will not be good for anyone imo.

brich2333795d ago

MMO and F2P might be taking over.

gcolley3795d ago

I think we will see more hybrid FPS games... like FPS with more RPG elements and better, less linear story telling. This is the problem, a dozen games playing exactly the same with rubbish cliched stories. FPS MMO, FPS RPG, FPS RTS if FPS is going to offer anything new. But I suspect with VR coming out, FPS will go back to the tired old formulas and rely on VR for the wow factor, much like the movie industry does with CGI and 3D.

But it is not going anywhere, it offers the most immersion and is ideal for VR. You are going to be way way more fed up with FPS by the time this console gen is matured.

Battlefield 1, Hardline, BF4 Servers Are Being Taken Offline by Cheaters; EA Silent on Issue

Cheaters & hackers have been causing grief on Battlefield 1, Hardline & BF4 servers, with nonstop DDoS attacks among other things. Unfortunately, EA has remained silent about it.

-Foxtrot776d ago

Course they are silent, they are hoping people flock to 2042

gamesftw250775d ago

Maybe it was a inside job then haha.

jeromeface775d ago

wouldnt be the first time, titanfall 1+2 anyone?

PapaBop775d ago

Not even if they paid me.. EA always do this with old games with less money potential, if this was Ultimate Team, they'd address and sort it faster than stories could spread. Why invest time in their products when they will just dump it in the following years? Then again EA never could see the forest for the trees.

Inverno775d ago

I imagine after those games were given out for free a couple months back through Amazon, anything that makes people go to 2042 is a plus for them

XiNatsuDragnel776d ago

They want people to go on 2042. My theory

excaliburps775d ago

Nah. I think they can't do anything about it or they want to sink money into fixing it.

Pudge102888775d ago (Edited 775d ago )

EA owns all BF servers so yes, they can do something about it but they refuse to because they dont want ppl playing their old games instead of the new one. Its EA we’re talking about here

pr33k33775d ago

if this happened in 2042, they'd have something to say. which is weird, considering battlefield 1 has more players on steam right now.

Pudge102888775d ago

Its so obvious that EA is doing this or hired ppl to mess up the games so that we’d be forced to have just 1 Battlefield working.

FPS_D3TH775d ago

Honestly it’s probably the devs themselves. They did an update to bf4 way back that kinda made assault rifles doo doo in hopes that people would flock to BF1 cuz BF4 was too perfect

There's a bunch of great shooters on gamepass; both legacy and new.

A recommendation I have is a work in progress preview title called Anacrusis. It's a lot of fun, and has a cool aesthetic.
