Battlefield Game Coming in 2021, Star Wars: Battlefront 2 Content Updates to Stop

We'll be getting a new Battlefield game next year, but Battlefront 2 won't be getting more free content.

CertifiedGamer1495d ago

Frostbite 6 hopefully with fully destructible environments, and a free to play battle royal mode.

Majin-vegeta1495d ago

Good luck..with most Dice vets gone now BF will he a shit Show

-Foxtrot1494d ago (Edited 1494d ago )

Well...it already was a shit show, even with its improvements it was still meh

If they made it play like the old BF games which were less generic I could get behind the next one

Xenial1494d ago

Oh boy, we'll see how this goes.

silenthillstrangler1494d ago

Cant wait to see what it looks like and what next gen features it'll bring.

janus2251494d ago

Dont forget Vince Zampella managing DICE now! And sure this guy know to create GEMS (Titanfall, Apex, Star Wars...)

Yi-Long1494d ago

I really just want Battlefield to be Battlefield again, so focused on Conquest-mode, with well-balanced maps that will allow you to play in the role you please, where you're not hopelessly reliant on squads and vehicles.

These devs seemed intent on having as big a map as possible, with as many people on that map as possible, and basically forcing you to group up and use vehicles, and in the end that just diminishes the role you as a single player have in it, thus you feel less special for accomplishing something cool/good.

I remember in 1943 just successfully defending a flag as a single sniper, and taking out tanks with my mines.

In BF1 and BF5, especially with kill-cam giving away your position, that ability to kinda go on your own and do your sneaky thing and making a difference, has been killed somewhat. Of course, with team-communications you're always going to be at a disadvantage against squads who can quickly communicate your location to each other, but the kill-cam has made it far too easy for the opponents to figure out your location and consequently deal with it ...

Another? ANOTHER?

Is he honestly trying to make out like the last Battlefield was a huge success, not just as a game but as a live service game? I'm sure these guys live in their own echo chambers, they are so far removed from reality or they just like talking out of their arse trying to rewrite history.

Also why say such a tone deaf statement when you know the state of live service games at the minute and how many gamers feel about them. Bigging up the next BF game as live service does not give me any excitement or hype.

''is building ‘another tremendous LIE service’''

/Fixed

just_looken24d ago

This is nothing too new
https://www.eurogamer.net/e...

They had plans of a universe of live service games

Also these studios made 2042 there is no new massive team its the same team
https://www.eurogamer.net/t...

Well same team minus the seattle boys that were canned
https://gamerant.com/ea-bat...

This is all again same news different year but it seems very few remember what happened before covid.

Walalon23d ago

At least they put car freshner trees up their asses to think smelling their own farts smells good at this point to be so out of touch.

RaidenBlack25d ago

Just make another Battlefield 2 ... or BadCompany 3 ... EA

XiNatsuDragnel25d ago

Games That Were Bad on Release, But Are Now Great

BLG writes, "Some of the most popular games have had a rough start, with some of them being downright unplayable.

Despite that, developers have managed to turn it around for them and make their game worth playing. Here are some games that had a rough start but were pretty great."

Good list..hoped to see Street Fighter 5 there..and it is.

Vits29d ago (Edited 29d ago )

Sea of Thieves... I'm not disagreeing that the game has improved in terms of content. But I feel that the most significant change between now and its release is actually the public perception. Nowadays, most people are aware that the game is a multiplayer PvP-focused experience first and foremost, and not "Black Flag made by Rare". Consequently, people dismissing the whole experience because the single-player aspect is lacking or the story is plain are much less common.

darthv7229d ago

Several years ago, i submitted an idea to Rare that would change up the mechanics of battling opponents in the game. whereby if you died in battle, you turned into a skeleton warrior and had to fight your way back to the land of the living. It was an interesting twist on respawning and would allow the player to experience both sides of a battle.

I keep hoping to see something like that get added to the game.

Kaii29d ago

They consider FO 76 & ME Andromeda to be great now 🤭

anast29d ago

Every game in the last 2 decades...

INMATEofARKHAM29d ago

It's sad that this quick retort is more often than not true... The industry's acceptance of release and patch has gone too far.

gunnerforlife28d ago

Days gone! By the end of the game I couldn't drop it down! I went around so many hours killing zombies! It was addictive by the end.

S2Killinit28d ago

That game was just plain good game. It didnt improve, it was just good.

gunnerforlife28d ago

I don't know, I got it abit late, and struggled for a few days, and then all of a sudden it just got good!!

Next Battlefield Is Being Built for the "Future" Says EA CEO

Electronic Arts (EA) CEO Andrew Wilson comments on how a former competitor is now building a Battlefield "for the future."

InUrFoxHole268d ago

💯 what all gamers are thinking... and not liking

DaCajun267d ago

They keep breaking promises, Dice is not the devs they used to be. I remember during BFBC2 release DICE telling hiphopgamer, anyone remember him, they would never charge for dlc maps like other companies started to do. They didn't want to seperate the community, they said. Then they released paid dlc later for BFBC2, Vietnam maps.

InUrFoxHole266d ago

Lol, yeah I remember HHG. 🤣. Yeah idk man.. hoping for the best here.

-Foxtrot268d ago

Jesus man this guy

Everything he’s said about the next Battlefield just screams how tone dead he actually is about the franchise

He seems to be repeating the same mistakes

excaliburps268d ago

I am hoping that Zampella brings his magic and delivers an awesome experience.

Imagine if Respawn got Medal of Honor? And then they make a proper COD competitor with it? Daaaamn.

Notellin268d ago

He's one of the most overpaid and worst executives in the business

RaidenBlack268d ago

If making BadCompany 3 is not possible anymore ... Just make a new Battlefield 2 in 2024, ffs !

isarai268d ago

It doesn't matter what they call it, the current EA/DICE are not capable of making a decent battlefield game. Slapping "Bad Company" on it isn't going to change that

isarai268d ago

Sounds like a game made by an office full of investment bankers and data analyst
