You know, they say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
Electronic Arts CEO Andrew Wilson stated in a recent EA Earnings Call, that the next Battlefield "it is going to be another tremendous live service.”
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.
Phil Spencer and Microsoft have come under fire following the closure of multiple Bethesda-owned studios including Tango Gameworks.

Hellblade 2, Indiana Jones, Avowed, Towerborne, and Call of Duty are still to be released this year. Marcus Fenix collection to be added to the list with the Xbox showcase, hopefully.
Sony doesn't have to bother fighting the next Microsoft acquisition. The massive layoff by themselves should be enough to get the next big buy blocked.
So if MS hadn't spent $80 billion consolidating the industry just think of all the games and jobs that would have saved.
MS is a drain on gaming and have been nothing but a negative.
It all looks amazing to me, tbh. Graphics are truly astonishing, love the colors, effects, anime style, everything, and it’s all so vibrant. It honestly pops off the screen, and the city itself looks gorgeous.
I was really disappointed to learn it’s just gonna be another F2P gatcha game. I really wish they would have brought this kind of production values and wide range of gameplay aspects into a single-player action-adventure rpg.
And yeah, the traversal seems copied from Spider-Man, but can’t really blame them when web-slinging is such a fun way to move around a city. Beyond the webslinging, it seems to offer so much more, so it’s not a big deal to me personally.
Again, a shame it’s a F2P gatcha, so most likely I’ll never touch it, but visually and gameplay-wise it truly looks outstanding.
Does it matter if they use a mechanic from another game? Not at all, since all games use mechanics from games that came before. Spider-Man wasn’t the first game to use a slinging mechanism to get around. As long as the game is good, that’s what matters.
Unrelated note, I miss the days where roasts were actual roasts, like actual creative insults, "this should be illegal bro lmaooo" is not a roast
This is pretty common with Chinese companies, I clicked on the article just to confirm it was a China based company. They can copy anything over there without any repercussions.
Ah, Chinese, they do typically make clones lol. Game looks cool though. Problem is, it's a gacha game...
