EA's Sales Numbers Rise, Battlefield 1 Performing Remarkably

If you have any doubts that DICE's Battlefield 1 could be a peak performer on the gaming market, consider them washed away.

scottypops2753d ago

That's good. Congrats to Battlefield. I had to get Titanfall 2 instead just to support Respawn but it's also an ea game. Hopefully though BF1 is a quality shooter to keep you wrapped up in it for a long while.

Thunder_G0d_Bane2753d ago

Same i bought Titanfall 2 over BF1, and it is just an amazing game! They literally made every improvement i wanted over the first one. This is what Titanfall 1 should have been tbh. But better late than never!

iTechHeads2753d ago

This just isn't really true. BF4 launched first on PS3/360 a few weeks before the release of new consoles with PS4/XB1. Due to this staggered launch, first week sales for BF4 were low. Not very hard to surpass.

TheColbertinator2753d ago

And PC. Bought BF1 Origin copies so those aren't taken into account for NPD but EA can add in the millions of downloads of PC

Deadpooled2753d ago

Stop trolling BF1 articles you CoD fanboy

freshslicepizza2753d ago

regardless this is still good news and hopefully titanfall can pick up some sales and people can finally move on from call of duty.

Dan_scruggs2753d ago

I'm from the internet and I am outraged by this. Flips table.

Automatic792753d ago

Congratulations to EA remarkable game

_-EDMIX-_2753d ago

Congrats to DICE and EA, an amazing game. Loved the single player and MP is pretty smooth right now.

MatrixxGT2753d ago

The single player was done very well. It actually makes me want to 100% it as it's very fun. Just bought a 50" Bravia 4K HDR 10bit and it looks jaw dropping. Can't wait to play on PRO.

_-EDMIX-_2752d ago

Agreed I might play through it one more time I personally want them doing the rest of their games this way and regards to the smaller stories because I feel it definitely fits the game.

Damn having single-player stories with just one Ark I always felt was just boring and I never got into any of the single players but I like that they were able to experiment and have these smaller stories and do a lot more.

I know it's not Bioshock or anything groundbreaking like that but if this works for them I think they should continue this same concept of smaller individual stories.

I don't know if I'm prepared to say that I would ever spend full price on just a single player that was like this but I would definitely pick it up in the future by itself if they ever did something like this as just a single player only title had I would even go as far as to say if they had two more stories I would probably consider purchasing full price day one.

DICE Needs To Recapture The Magic Of Battlefield 1 In The Next Game

For DICE to succeed with its next game, it has to return to the roots of the franchise. Atmospheric map design, clear and defined class-based gameplay, attention to detail, and total chaos. Battlefield 1 feels like every rock, every glint on your sniper rifle, every falling brick from a collapsing church, has been painstakingly considered. So much care went into the design of the game, from its soundtrack to its costume department. To stand a chance alongside the behemoths of Treyarch and Infinity Ward, DICE needs to recapture what made their old games so brilliant, otherwise it’s all over.

"DICE Needs To Recapture The Magic Of Battlefield 3 In The Next Game"

/Fixed

...on a serious note, DICE needs to remove the Battlefield name.

isarai554d ago

Eh, bfbc2 was the peak for me, only ad dogfighting and the accommodations that come with it. Every BF after that was such an unsatisfying progression system for weapons and gear for the classes, 90% of the guns feel exactly the same when you unlock them, just felt boring in comparison. Not to mention the gimped destruction as the series progressed

Sciurus_vulgaris554d ago

I found Battlefield 1 to be overrated. The gameplay was simpler and less strategic than its predecessors. Battlefield 1 did have a woo-factor, but the gameplay got repetitive faster than Battlefield 4 in my opinion.

porkChop554d ago

If DICE needs to return to the roots of the franchise then why would they look at Battlefield 1? BF1 is overly simplified and streamlined. What DICE should focus on is Battlefield 3 and Bad Company 2. Those two games were the pinnacle of the franchise.

TheEnigma313554d ago

BC2 was the best. they need to get back to that.

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.

-Foxtrot784d ago

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

gamesftw250783d ago

Maybe it was a inside job then haha.

jeromeface783d ago

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

PapaBop783d 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.

Inverno783d 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

XiNatsuDragnel784d ago

They want people to go on 2042. My theory

excaliburps783d ago

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

Pudge102888783d ago (Edited 783d 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

pr33k33783d 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.

Pudge102888783d 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_D3TH783d 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

Grabbed Panzer Dragoon, the Darkness, Conker Reloaded, Burnout Revenge, Time Splitters 2, Fight Night Champions, and Stuntman Ignition.

Essentially some of the classics that I can't get on PC, now that I have a Series S.
