Battlefield 1 (PC/PS4/XB1)

[elison]

I don't want to write this off but with CoD4 coming out, I'm not sure how I feel about this. I was never really a fan of the WW2 setting games and I can't really see myself getting into this one. Then I consider what type of vehicles they'll have in a WW1 era game.... lame, man. Driving 3MPH across big ass Battlefield maps and being a trench simulator isn't exactly my idea of what I expected BF5 to be....

This reveal live stream is already a snooze fest.

Back to studying

edit: fuck man, that trailer almost gave me a seizure... so many cuts

[Fiye]

It strokes the imagination to bring back times of 1942 but in all sorts of HD.

Man I can't wait to hear how the servers don't work at launch.

This is why i dgaf about ww 1 or ww2 era shooters.

The technology from those eras are very limited compared to modern warfare(pun). The game engine looks great, but its fucking old era combat. I am not hyped to fly those old ass gun only planes that fly slow af.

I'll probably buy it, but im not hyped.

I doubt they will go with slow realistic inch by inch trench warfare. ww1 will just be a skin for the same gameplay we've had in every battlefield.
Also isn't this dice LA's first real release? After they fixed the clusterfuck that was bf4 i have some hopes for a less rocky launch/release.

Thread needs to be retitled Battlefield 1

[TheDirtyHobo]

I want to be excited. Gas-centric trench warfare with slow, hulking mechanical beasts and terrifying flamethrowers sounds bleak and depressing as fuck. But Battlefield games are usually pretty shit with their SP campaigns, so, meh.

Edit: Plus the fact that the trailer has a whooping 2 seconds of what might be gameplay.

[Jaybar]

Is this being called Battlefield 1 by the same guys at Microsoft that thought putting a 1 in front of a new console made sense?

[Adajer]

idk, kinda sorta

but it kinda makes sense. Since this is going to be WW1 era.

CEO Andrew Wilson on why the game is Set during WW1

When the team set out to deliver the next version of Battlefield, they wanted to do a lot of things with the game. They wanted it to be the biggest Battlefield game, they wanted it to be the most diverse Battlefield game. They wanted fundamentally new gameplay mechanics with evolution of story, interwoven character storylines, evolution of machinery, evolution of weaponry, a real opportunity to build and grow inside of a Battlefield universe.

When they took a step back and asked themselves what was the best place to set a game that had that kind of ambition, World War I was really the only place to do it. What very few people remember from their history classes, I guess, is that people rolled into World War I on horse and came out on planes, tanks and submarines. We think that level of innovation and evolution of battle in a short period of time gives us a tremendous opportunity to deliver a very epic and full-scale experience.

And I think what we have shown so far is a small taste of that, and we look forward to spending time and giving people even more information and a deeper look at that as we come at EA Play in June.

I'm looking forward to all of the war crimes that were committed during that period.
