After seeing this, and hoping its true, I just added another game to my list of 2010 purchases. Great. Now I'm gonna be flat out broke next year. But at least I'll be playing amazing games like this one :)

Noctis Aftermath5271d ago

After day 1 of the beta i added it to my "must-buy" list.

bacon135271d ago

Agree with you there. There are so many good games coming out in the next few months. I really hope BC:2 and MAG can dethrone MW2 as top shooter. Too many wankers and cry babies playing.

mrv3215271d ago

I don't understand why developers don't make bots? I mean this game has a singleplayer right? So the AI is mostly their they just have to program in some more online stuff and your done.

Mind you Battlefields A.I has never been the best. I remember 1942, I was up in a tower looking down a long road and here comes 8 enemies on foot with assault riffles. They ley down too far away to be effective but shoot none the less. Let's just say 8 rounds later they where no more.

Nihilism5271d ago

A.I has come a long way in recent years, i'm sure it would be a cakewalk for them to implement some basic but effective bots for offline deathmatch, i'm sure it often comes down to laziness, but i'm one of the few that don't game online, and as I have this pre-ordered, i've had my fingers crossed for bots for ages, theres a thread on the official forums with a poll for it, and it's the biggest thread by several times over...still no response from dice

mrv3215271d ago

It's down to the fact that bots are never used only Killzone 2 is the latest game to use them.

But I agree... bots are good just to tease. Like you manage to corner them and just wait for them to respawn over and over.

Rauland5271d ago

Alot of different guns..... i like =]

Hanif-8765271d ago

All of who complained about the kill cam and made DICE take it out, here is a big Fuuck you!

I just started playing Spec op. I've had it for years on steam and forgot about it. Such a good game.

EvertonFC96d ago (Edited 96d ago )

Fantastic game,.so underated

Cacabunga95d ago

Yes great game spec ops! Since the time we’ve been asking sony to make one:/

Auto Modelista.. a PS2 capcom racer!! A blast to play and great graphics!
Maximo!
Rival Schools!

LordoftheCritics95d ago

Spec Ops: The Line was super dark.

Incredible story.

SheenuTheLegend95d ago

all the games in the above list are bang on. this is the only reason we need backwards compatibility and physical presense of games for the upcoming future, no matter what.

Yi-Long96d ago

Honorable mention to the excellent Driveclub, one of the best racing games of all-time and one of my favourite games ever.

melons96d ago

yes! incredible rain effects; so good to drive along in rain with your Spotify playlist blaring

Skuletor95d ago

I really wanted a MotorStorm using the same engine, Driveclub is easily one of the best looking games on PS4 and I'm surprised they didn't even give it a PS4 Pro patch.

ravens5295d ago

Yes indeed. May just install it on my PS5. You know, physical copy and all.

monkey60295d ago

I adored Driveclub and the Bike expansion. I also loved Motorstorm. Evolution shutting down was a crime

Outrun Online Arcade, Sega Rally Online Arcade, After Burner Climax... all good stuff. I keep my 360 hooked up to play these as well as the TMNT games that were also delisted.

Skuletor95d ago

I have quite a few of these. Timed licenses suck.

Terry_B95d ago (Edited 95d ago )

wow...I have all of them except the Nintendo ones either in physical or digital version.

Also..Deadpool the Game is missing on that list.

I had no idea that Bad Company 2 was still running, and only now that I know, I want to jump on! 😥

SonyStyled169d ago

I was able to find games in the Vietnam dlc on ps3 the last week. There were articles on here about the server closure when it was announced in April

DaReapa169d ago

BF1943 is the only online MP game that I was genuinely interested in. Been playing since launch 14 years ago. Hate that I couldn't put in as much time to play as I'd hoped for during the final week.

Inverno169d ago

I got really into 43 when I bought Bf3, and preferred it. Everything that I disliked or found annoying about Bf3, wasn't an issue in 43. Too bad they never bothered releasing it on PS4 or PC.

1nsomniac169d ago (Edited 169d ago )

Dead Space 2...... I wasn't even aware that had multiplayer. Nevermind that it was apparently one of their best multiplayers!

anast169d ago

Once people stop buying micros, these companies close the doors.

Xenial169d ago

Dead Space 2 multiplayer had been hanging on for years - I'd boot my PS3 up to see some familiar names in lobbies. This will definitely be missed!

Battlefield Legacy - Sunsetting Announcement

EA: "As we close in on 15 years since the release of Battlefield 1943, and Bad Company™ 1 & 2, we are announcing that their journey is coming to an end."

darthv72434d ago

This reminds me... I have ME on my PS3 hdd. Never really played it, but it was free.

XiNatsuDragnel434d ago

Digital future ppl is good they say nope imo

Eidolon433d ago

And it still says nothing about being able to downloaded even when it's off the storefront, that's a huge ouchie for some who somehow still have it in their backlog...

Shane Kim433d ago

Dont make it an issue when it's not. If you haven't played it in 15 years, chances are you'll never play it.

isarai434d ago

That all digital future sure looks great!

/s

zidane1341433d ago (Edited 433d ago )

Online game servers shut off eventually all the time. Doesn’t matter if you have the disc or not. Even if you have the disc, it’ll be just paperweight unless the game lets you connect directly to a friend or LAN play.

isarai433d ago (Edited 433d ago )

Read the article bro. They are delisting the games, including mirrors edge which is an offline game. Online servers i can understand, not being able to buy/download the games anymore? Completely separate issue, especially seeing as how some these games had lengthy sp campaigns and not just mp.

zidane1341433d ago

@israrai, you can still buy the disc for less then 10$. Hardly a loss.

TheEnigma313433d ago

You shouldn't have to buy the disc, that's the issue.

OhReginald433d ago (Edited 433d ago )

Some brilliant minds created servers to keep these old online games alive. A lot of ps2 and ps3 games that had there servers shut down a long time ago have been restored by fans to keep it going. Warhawk, killzone 2, socom 2/ confrontation, resident evil outbreak series, etc.

DankSinatra433d ago

The disc still exist. I don’t understand the issue. You guys are upset about that “all digital future” yet these games are not “digital only”. Hell digital only is a minority in the gaming world and so far we haven’t moved into it, the only digital only games are games as a service or online only games, which end up failing in the end.

This is no different than a store that stops selling old games, just go and buy a copy somewhere else. So which is it, you hate all digital or you like it? Make up your mind.

isarai433d ago

Talk about missing the point entirely. I'm not going to sit here and explain it to you, figure it out.

DankSinatra433d ago

Talk about whining about something and not wanting to explain from an off handed sarcastic original comment.

I got the point just fine. You’re literally complaining about something that has an easy alternative to it.

ManMarmalade432d ago

I don't think you got the point

DankSinatra432d ago (Edited 432d ago )

@ManMarmalade

No I got it, it has to do with the push towards a future of all digital and reprocussions of losing games. Something I already stayed that hasn’t happened nor is it large enough right now to cause any issues as the games that are all digital are online only to begin with or make up the minority of games

So I’ll say it again, the disc still exists for these games that are over a decade old and can still be played easily. You guys are contradicting the whole “we don’t want a digital only future” crying when the dude I originally responded to stated:

“Read the article bro. They are delisting the games, including mirrors edge which is an offline game. Online servers i can understand, not being able to buy/download the games anymore? Completely separate issue, especially seeing as how some these games had lengthy sp campaigns and not just mp.“

So again, which is it? Do you hate all digital or do you want it?

Inverno433d ago

On PC I don't think it's much of a problem but I'm sad to see BF43 being shut down. I haven't played it in a while since it's stuck on PS3, but i preferred it way more over BF3. It was the lack of invisible barriers which made it better for me.

badz149433d ago

BFBC2 was still the best overall package offered by the franchise so far IMO

porkChop433d ago

Absolutely. BC2 was such a great game. It's a shame we never got BC3.

P_Bomb432d ago

I had a great run on Bad Company 2. Pound for pound, as solid a BF package as there’s been.

InUrFoxHole433d ago

Does anyone play the last BF anymore? I searched crossplay servers and it was 20 people the most on all the servers? Can never find a game

SonyStyled433d ago

The last BC you mean? I was still able to find 10v10 on ps3 2 years ago on NA servers during the evenings. I have all the free and paid dlc installed, but there want any matches in the Vietnam dlc.
