Did they say it isn't launching into Game Pass? Or are you just assuming this because they didn't say it would?Well at least we know it isn't coming to Game Pass (yet)
Not a fan of $70 price tag but if that means I am getting next gen games then fine.
I'd rather pay full price every 3 years than have devs resort to making F2P trash with microtransactions and a complete lack of new maps and features.
I did the same with COD too, so hopefully, it works out.It depends. If you can buy the upgrade for $10, yes. Because it's a full version and not a special upgrade version that only works with the base game, you can gift the upgrade to yourself. You're getting a code for the next gen version.
So 3 versions for $90
Or you just refund the base after and have 2 next gen versions for $20.
I did that with COD last year.
Might not work this time, tho if MS fixxed something.
It's next gen. Just because its being ported to last gen consoles doesnt mean its being held back by then. CoD Modern Warfare was ported to the Wii by Treyarch. It didnt hold back IW's PS360 versions.You're buying crossgen now? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
NopeDoes it make it okay because Sony did it first?
Why is that my.problem? Or lets say the consumers problem?EA gets more money from 59$ pc version than 69$ console version. Sony tax is something around 30% ?
The good kind of cross gen. Started dev on next gen. Downported by another studio a la Titanfall and Forza Horizon 2.
EA told their investors as much during a conference call last year explaining why it didnt come out last year.

The next gen versions will have twice the number of players, larger maps, full scale destruction on top of prettier graphics. THATS how you do cross gen.
How so?
It's crossgen as fuck mate, and it's held back. That's the reality of any game designed around last gen Jaguar or HDD.
Speaking of best crossgens, Sony shows they're the best in doing both versions justice, leagues ahead of any other.
I thought this was rumoured to be a Day 1 Game Pass game... perhaps game play followed by the announcement?Gameplay being shown at Xbox conference?
the “good kind?”
doesn’t register. Either way their main studio will need to take into account last gen constraints
We will see in 3 days. All i know is what they told investors last year after being questioned why there was no BF or Battlefront game in the past 2 years to compete with cod.

During the earnings call, the executives of EA revealed that the next Battlefield will be on a “scale never seen before.”
This comes as the new generation of consoles become available worldwide, including the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.
“”The technical advancements of the new consoles are allowing the team to deliver on a true next-gen.”
EA further elaborated on the scale of the game, saying “our next Battlefield game with never-before-seen scale. The technical advancements of the new [PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S] consoles are [enabling] the team to deliver on a true next-gen vision for the franchise.
During a pre-launch presentation with DICE and EA, the developers confirmed that the game was built with next-gen players in mind, with 128 players on PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC.
Unfortunately for those still using older hardware, DICE and EA state that lobbies will max out at the usual 64 players, meaning that you won’t be able to experience the same combat as those with newer hardware.
Due to the fact that there are less players, Battlefield 2042’s maps will be “tailored to smaller scale to ensure epic battles,” although gameplay and mid-map events will “all be the same” regardless of what platform you play on.

This was later confirmed today in a presentation DICE gave to reporters and youtubers.
This is literally the opposite of what Sony is doing. Which is designing on the PS4 first and then porting up. DICE is porting down.
This is their next gen vision. Not sure if they have matched the graphics fidelity yet but the 128 player confirmation already proves the first part of the gif.

Has EA got a conference on Sunday? If they haven't you would imagine it will be shown at the Xbox show.I thought this was rumoured to be a Day 1 Game Pass game... perhaps game play followed by the announcement?
That would be lying to investors/shareholders which is a federal crime, but after seeing Sony's PR mistakes I am willing to agree. We will find out in three days.With all due respect, that's just PR BS.
For those holding out for GP. There appears to be a partnership but from the following I don't think it's a GP day 1 game.

I am very apprehensive about the game engine trailers. they always look a league ahead of gameplay footage. They have since the initial BF1 trailers. Their firestorm and Pacific DLC Game Engine trailers looked stunning too, but this is a big upgrade.Dice have shown today how far ahead they are on a technical level, I thought it was CGI but it wasn't.

I am gonna wait until the gameplay footage to see just how close they have come to game engine footage.
It will probably be on Game pass day 1 so it won't be too far off from F2P at launchI bet their strategy is to squeeze as much money as they can out of it and then go F2P at some point. A win win for EA.
No it won't! You can keep the cheaters over there.cause Battlefield will far and away be best played on PC AND it's cheaper lol
This comment proves you haven't played a Battlefield on PC in a long time (or ever), plus that was obviously not what my comment was geared towards. Enjoy you're neutered experience with a higher price premium.No it won't! You can keep the cheaters over there.
It'll probably get a huge visual upgrade like we got with 4, but we'll likely have to wait for next iteration to for them to fully take advantage of next gen tech. Should still be a visual treat.BF games always look very good with Quixel megascans usage and the always play good, that's a given. Also they always sound wonderful and explosives sound the best.

Yeah how dare people spend 70 bucks on hundreds of hours of entertainment.If you people pay those prices (anything above $60 really, which is already too much imho), then you are mugs and deserve $80 next gen and $90 the gen after that et al...if you pre-order, then God help you, because I can't!
So any shitty grindy game should be payed for by the hour? Would you pay 100 for Destiny or Diablo? It's not like this is even hundreds of hours of new experiences like some kind of godly xpac. It's the same 8 maps, over and over.Yeah how dare people spend 70 bucks on hundreds of hours of entertainment.
