The game is being developed by Visceral, yes, but a lot of DICE employees were integrated into Visceral for this game as well. Besides, his point was Publisher, not Studio.

And DICE Sweden made BF4, not Visceral. How can you say it's Visceral's fault for the BF4 issues?

Is EA supposed to blow up the studio and move them all to Sweden? That doesn't make sense at all, dude.

 

[MMaRsu]

That's like blaming Need for Speed and FIFA for a "broken" Battlefield game.

Not really.

 

[DrZeus]

This looks fun as shit. Will be buying BF4 soon and this when it releases this fall. I have no problem od'ing on Battlefield if it's teh goodz.

 

[Idba]

The footage is captured on the ps4 btw

 

[Broadbandito]

This looks fucking awesome

 

[Kiant]

I wasn't going to get hyped but GOD DAMN. Long as Online works as it is supposed to.

 

[NaughtyCalibur]

MOTHERFUCKER

Here I was hoping I'd finally be getting that SWAT 4-style FPS I've been waiting for since SWAT 4, and instead I get this shit directed by Michael Bay!

A million rounds being fired a second; explosions everywhere. MORE ACTION THAN ANY LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY HAS SEEN IN THEIR ENTIRE HISTORY PACKED INTO THE FIRST FUCKING MINUTE OF FOOTAGE.

Sorry, I just had to vent.

I'm out.

 

[Rembrandt]

Now I see why 343's Frankie O'Connor doesn't like leaks. They can go one of two ways, either hype everyone up and get the excitement level boiling to where people can't wait to buy the game, or it can do the opposite, create a shitstorm of negativty...i.e., calling alpha graphics the final graphics.

It's truly ridiculous. The video doesn't even have the official title yet people are still being blissfully oblivious.

 

[Interfectum]

Looks fun as fuck. Will keep an eye on it.

 

[Authority]

Not sure if the quality is better but here is the Dailymotion version.

 

[Silky]

A singleplayer campaign by visceral could be miles away better than what DICE does with BF3/4

It's called Battlefield...

 

[MickeyKnox]

Once upon a time this would have been a mod...

I do like me some payday though so I'll keep an eye on it

 

[Gorillaz]

Lol at it "leaking" almost in the same since the CoD one "leaked"

The first thing that stands out is the fact that BF gameplay for some reason does not gel with smaller scale combat like cops vs robbers. Maybe its the way they did the trailer, because Seeing straight up war zones like the ones in military zones go down like that in small ass mall settings is jarring as hell. They keep saying different style of BF but it feels honestly looks more like modded modes.

I guess well see what happens

 

[Jonesy7707]

Well HOLY SHIT.....I'm in day 0!!!

I've been waiting for a Police/SWAT style game forever and here it fucking is and it looks bloody great. Zip-lines, bikes, car chases......what's not to love.

Dude, it's Battlefield.

EDIT: Beatn

 

[crazepharmacist]

I hope people aren't excited for this. Not after the fiasco that was BattleField 4.

 

[NaughtyCalibur]

I know. I was just hoping that they were using the name to help sell it though.

OH MY GOD THAT CRIMINAL STOLE A VEHICLE! WE HAVE TO STOP HIM!

GRAB THE BAZOOKA!

 

[off duty ninja]

That's like blaming Need for Speed and FIFA for a "broken" Battlefield game.

Or like blaming Battlefield for a "broken" Battlefield game.

 

[Shining Sunshine]

Not really.

You drew a conclusion from two mutually exclusive statements that pins blame on the new battlefield game for the current battlefield's issues.

 

[BeforeU]

wow, that was good

 

[legacyzero]

I hope people aren't excited for this. Not after the fiasco that was BattleField 4.

It's not been a "fiasco" for everyone. I've had minimal trouble with the game outside of the first week on PS4 with CE errors, and a bit of rubber-banding when new maps come out.

Let's just hope EA learned their lesson, and will ensure then game is right.

 

[statham]

I'm excited.

 

[Bunta]

Yep, hopefully it blows the previous campaigns out of the water.

 

[puffyshirt]

Battlefield has forever lost its day one buy privilege. I'll keep an eye on this, but it looks super bland.

 

[Uiki]

Let's just hope EA learned their lesson, and will ensure then game is right.

 

[FullMetaltech]

Im so mixed on this now. Looks alot like a modded version of BF4 with a few differences here and there. Ill wait and see and the BF4 fiasco.

 

[bob page]

Damn this looks slick.

 

[Lord of Castamere]

I know. I was just hoping that they were using the name to help sell it though.

Well it looks like the tools are there to play tactically as long as they allow private lobbies unlike the evil DICE overlords that is.
Unless you were expecting no casualties, no destruction, no battlefield. In that case you kinda set yourself up for disappointment.

 

[Omni]

Hmm. Not convinced of the concept

Hopefully E3 shows it off a bit more. At the moment I don't see myself 'leaving' BF4 for this,

 

[legacyzero]

Yeah, I know, I giggled a bit myself as I was typing.

Devils advocate, etc.

 

[Bizazedo]

I know. I was just hoping that they were using the name to help sell it though.

It's like a movie! .

If only it were 24fps so it could be more filmic.

As long as I have the ability to stop another player non-violently and arrest him/her, I will be happy.

The game does look like it can be fun, I'm not going to lie. I'm just bitter that big explosions and over the top gunplay has pretty much killed off stuff like the original Rainbow Six and SWAT.

Don't be silly. They also stole money

 

[Sn4ke_911]

2 things:

1. Where the fuck are the weather effects? i haven't seen a single rain drop in this trailer.

2. I don't wanna play ONLY as some youngster beverly hills cop/miami vice wannabe.
I want to play a member of a special unit like S.W.A.T. but we've seen already SWAT cars so hopefully we don't play the whole campaign as this Mendoza guy.

EA is only concerned about their profit margins. No lesson to be learned here.

The publishers know that burn enough marketing dollars, and the gamers will buy anything.

 

[Returners]

I don't see what's the difference between this and Payday.

What mechanics does this game do differently?

 

[Poofynamanama]

Damn this looks slick.

I <3 your avatar

 

[Kinyou]

I don't see what's the difference between this and Payday.

Isn't payday just vs AI like left 4 dead? That seems already like a big difference.

 

[kriskrosbbk]

Please read the OP.

I read it of course.But do you expect a massive jump?

 

[The Flash]

This game looks really cool

 

[GuitarAtomik]

I don't think the graphics are an issue. My problem is that this is not BF. To those comparing this to BC only because it's also a spin-off, I can only shake my head. BC was more a Battlefied game than this is.

It doesn't look bad, I'm not a cynic. But if this had been called 'Medal of Honor: Hardline', people would be shitting all over this, mostly due to name association. But because this is had Battlefield in it (which was precisely why they did it), people try to think this will somehow be great. Though I can't say it will otherwise as I haven't seen enough, their track record does leave you with more doubt than confidence.

I'm going to call bullshit on this. The game looks like what you would get if you made an urban focused, cops and robbers mod for Battlefield (in a good way). If no one had told me it was part of the franchise, I would have said how much it looked like Battlefield.

 

[MegaBusta]

Looks like it'll be a good time. Not even mad police are using littlebirds and lmg's to take out thieves or that the thieves are using rocket launchers. The SP stuff looks nice as well and with Visceral inc charge it may actually be a compelling experience.

I really hope the technical issues are minimal this time. As much as I love playing bf4, it shouldn't have come out when it did and I hope EA has the sense to delay this project if needed.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

I read it of course.But do you expect a massive jump?

We'll see about that, just don't judge the graphics yet. We don't know how old this video is.

 

[Kinyou]

I read it of course.But do you expect a massive jump?

The footage could be a year old for all we know

 

[ArchedThunder]

Holy shit, this looks way better than BF4. I'm hyped.

 

[McHuj]

I really hope the technical issues are minimal this time. As much as I love playing bf4, it shouldn't have come out when it did and I hope EA has the sense to delay this project if needed.

I'm guessing they're probably working from the same code base as BF4 Frostbite, so I would expect Hardline to be in the similar state to what BF4 is late in the year. It should be pretty solid.

 

[Screaming Meat]

I don't see what's the difference between this and Payday.

What mechanics does this game do differently?

Vehicles, for one thing. Playing as cops would be another. Did you watch the trailer?

 

[hydruxo]

Is it just me or does this guy from the trailer look EXACTLY like Reggie (Delsin's brother) from Infamous Second Son? I mean it's identical. He even sounds like him.

 

[Delta Assault]

Kinda looks like Bad Boys 2: The Game.
