Sounds very interesting. Vehicles in this type of setting will be very unique. I still wont consider it a real Battlefield though with no DICE at the helm.

Being that this is modern times, I really hope the main Battlefield line returns to World War II or even WWI. I need to see that era in the frostbite engine. I can just picture the weather effects like rains in the pacific and snowstorms in the forests of Europe. On the gameplay end - it will do away with all that vehicle lock on nonsense.

[Phil4000]

Is this cross-gen?

 

[Robertto]

well defiantly not buying. they fucked me so hard on BF4, and didnt give me a refund. BF4 barely works and when it does imo its actually gameplay wise their weakest effort since Bad company 1. i really dont like the way EA conducts their business.

CoD comes out every year but it is always polished to a point where its ready to go day one, and it is really a very full feature game every year, and doesnt smell with nickel and diming the way BF has.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

I think I'm gonna get hyped for this.

It's different enough for a BF game and not made by DICE. So it has a decent chance of not being a beta for 5 months.

And Visceral made some decently fun games in the DS series. I particularly enjoyed 3's co op. The theme and game play potential in this game already has me at least as interested as the conventional BF games and as you noted, it's different.

 

[Archpath1]

I hope it'll capture the feeling of those heist type movies, feels great when a job goes of without a hitch, or when it goes to complete shit with crazy firefights

Mmmmmmm

 

[labaronx]

Where the fuck is bad company 3. No one asked for this.

At this point my hope for a sequel is diminishing

 

[Haloid1177]

Don't usually buy Battlefield games (usually go with that other yearly FPS) but this being from Visceral and also not being military has me very interested. Look forward to hearing more and am definitely thinking Day 1.

Now next year is Bad Company 3 right? I wanna come back to you BF.

 

[Kydd BlaZe]

Fuck yeah! Super stoked for this! Glad they finally came out and officially announced it after all the leaks. Really interested in seeing how Visceral does with this. As much as I love Dead Space, it's nice to see them develop something else for a change (yes I'm aware of Dante's Inferno).

 

[Exploratory]

Will it have the BF DUD DUH, DUH DUH DUH sound in all of its trailers

If it doesn't they're already dead. That gets me so hype and I don't even like Battlefield.

 

[Shmuppers]

I've never been able to understand it, but that stupid blue/orange filter they splatter all over recent Battlefield games gets me so un-hyped.

 

[James Woods]

This will own. God bless cross gen.

 

[nib95]

Different developer

Would be EA rushing them to deliver on time either way no? I highly doubt DICE wanted to release BF4 in the state it was in...

 

[Currygan]

this certainly is interesting, for good or bad

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

mehmehmehmehmeh







.. will get if my friends get it

For once we don't get a generic shooter from a very talented team that hasn't been squeezed to death with generic shooters. Opposite of meh for me.

After playing BF4, I don't want DICE touching this. DICE can spend their time fixing their existing game.

 

[digita1alchemy]

I don't care for the premise, and I don't really need a new Battlefield game every year. I'll just keep playing 4 until DICE's new game comes out.

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

Is Bad Company dead or something? I want more Bad Company

That said, I'll pick this up if the campaign is outstanding. Love cops and robbers.

 

[Poofynamanama]

I want a battlefield game with dead space themed maps

 

[Subtervotion]

Don't be

Well, it's not DICE, and I'm guessing it has to be close to done, unless EA really thinks they need to get another Battlefield game out this year.

But yeah, I'm definitely waiting and seeing on this one.

I won't pass judgement until I see something at E3. And yeah, Visceral could be a good thing for the franchise. I do expect a 2014 release though.

 

[Citizen_Insane]

It sounds cool, I just hope nobody here is dumb enough to buy it day 1. BF4 is totally solid now, but all the horror stories of launch really put me off from buying it for a while.

 

[Sayers]

Is it cynical of me to expect this shit to play like every other "modern warfare" FPS?

I'll go a step further and say the only reason the conversation happened was because EA told visceral "you're making a battlefield game next or everyone is fired."

 

[TrueGrime]

I wonder if this game will be all city maps.

 

[NavyPharaoh]

So EA puts The battlefield name on a game that has nothing to do with battlefield, for brand recognition after they tarnished the battlefield name with battlefield 4?

Fuckin EA

 

[REV 09]

super hyped...possibly my most hyped game now.

 

[DaciaJC]

I understand why EA would slap the "Battlefield" moniker onto this instead of making it a new IP, but I still don't like it. For me, BF means expansive maps, heavy vehicle gameplay, and large-scale Conquest. Going by the cops 'n robbers theme, I don't see how this game could provide any of those. I don't want to support further dilution of the Battlefield name.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Fuckin EA

Next up: "Love in the Battlefield". First person dating sim.

 

[Future PhaZe]

No tanks? Day 1

 

[Leb]

I've put several hundred hours into BF4 and have definitely enjoyed myself... but am I being unreasonable if I find myself a little reluctant to buy another BF game when the previous game is still plagued with numerous issues of varying severity?

I think BF4 was definitely my last $60 BF game. If this one doesn't suck, I'll pick it up during the first 50% off sale.

 

[TheSeks]

Next up: "Love in the Battlefield". First person dating sim.

I'd buy that, gay (b)romance option as standard? Yes plz.

"It's it's not like I wanted to r-re-resupply you, idiot."

 

[Phire Phox]

where is it confirmed that it's cross gen? What platforms will this game be on?

 

[spookyfish]

Visceral? Oh wow. I may be in for this.

 

[Nori Chan]

Where have you been? It's been Annual since BC2.

BC2->Vietnam next year->BF3 next year->DLC packs for 3 next year/4 in development->4 launched shortly after 3's DLC support ends->4's DLC support/Hardline developed->Hardline...

So is this an extension to 4?

 

[Joeki11a]

You know the name isnt clicking, why choose/ use "Hardline"?, why not something with more attitude more meaning.

 

[RoKKeR]

I just remembered that Visceral actually makes competent single player games... could be a real change for this series!

Either way, they lost a lot of good will with the release of BF4 and even as a big fan of the franchise, I really am not interested in picking this up. Will try to resist the hype.

 

[BHK3]

Hopefully it scratches that robber itch I got, payday failed on that for me

 

[MilesTeg]

Brand new series = expect a sequel in 2016

 

[TheSeks]

So is this an extension to 4?

No, new title. Think "Vietnam" expanded into it's own title, and you're halfway there.

But in a summary fashion: Yes, it's an "extension" to 4 in regards to dev->release time. If DICE wasn't five-fingers-in-five-pies in development right now, I'd wager they'd have BF5 in pre-production/release mode to release next year. This "extension" is just EA side-stepping to release in a year fashion like the old "Treyarch/Infinity Ward" swapping of the yearly CoD titles.

 

[Aquamarine]

where is it confirmed that it's cross gen? What platforms will this game be on?

It's not confirmed, it's a rumour based on looking at some code. The platforms are PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox One, and Xbox 360.

 

[StUnNeR H2K]

Everyone be sure to keep playing BF4 - we need to keep breaking it so they can fix this one!

Spoiler

will not be buying day one, will wait for the price drop that follows the holiday

FPS is all about Multiplayer...

BF is all about Multiplayer

 

[SmoothRunningGun]

So no coop?

 

[Pennybags]

No tanks? Day 1

There are still armored vehicles. When it comes to gameplay, they'll probably be tanks without big splashy cannons.

On a sidenote, I have a feeling based on the rumored CS-style "weapon shop" that at least one of the gamemodes will deal with an escalation of force and available equipment as time goes on/objectives are reached, leading to all-out warfare in the streets.

 

[Andodalf]

How will mp work? Surely not two spawn points and everyone rushes to die in the middle, which is basically how other fps games work.

 

[Pennybags]

From what we have to go on ATM, several different gamemodes.

TDM
Heist
Blood Money (no idea, buy your weapons?)
Turf War (probably their conquest analogue)

Might be leaving some out.

 

[Grief.exe]

Would make a lot of sense if modes were like Counter-Strike, you die you sit out the round.

Of course, Battlefield has reviving mechanics to keep people in the fight.

 

[dragonelite]

Please be 900p on x1 and 1080p on ps4

 

[BeekleMatter]

Battlefield being my yearly shooter, I'm definitely excited for this. Sounds like a cool concept, well see how it plays out, but I'm really interested to see something new for once. Good on EA to do something different rather than another modern Battlefield with the same old same old.

 

[Rad-]

Nice, so it is this fall.

 

[Jules Coast]

The whole website and press release is conveniently ready the day information leaks. What impeccable timing.
