Hmmmm....

I am veeerrryyy excited about this one...

the close quarter tactical style impression I get from this, sounds like my preferred direction for a spin off game.

I cant wait!

I'm sceptical about it at the moment.

I'm not so sceptical, but how thick are they putting the code of this stuff into Battlelog already if they want to keep a surprise for E3?

Surely they knew the BetterBLog lads would be pulling apart the code for their add-on update?

They are not slow with this stuff it seems, with the whole secret hints for the phantom trainee series stuff. I reckon they're planned marketing techniques.

They are dealing with very capable fans who can find this stuff so they are appealing to them I bet.

Visceral Games

Not known for their amazing PC or multiplayer games. Dead Space series, Dead Space 1 from my experience had some issues with Vsync and mouse sensitivity, other Dead Space games by other accounts were not as optimized/tailored as the PC community would have hoped for.

I think it'll be the Frostbite engine and assets, as it's a Battlefield game and I dont think that Dead Space 2 or 3 have user controlled vehicles. So will you be stuck with the same tick rate and other issues that come with Frostbite. Will it be Frostbite 3.75^3? Who knows!

Lets be honest. EA gave the Battlefield IP to a developer that hasn't made a decent multiplayer game. I'll be holding out until some "honest" reviews surface after it's launch

Here's a gameplay promo that got leaked. Not sure how long it will be up:

Looks quite entertaining actually.

Edit: Video was taken down very quickly haha

Battlefield: PayDay (but, we are the good guys!)

Buggy, server problems for the first week, plenty of DLC to 'enhance the experience', and ultimately forgotten about by a storm of "Make Bad Company 3!" comments from the community.

Next, please!

I dunno, I find it hard to be interested in this after the screw up with BF4. The BF4 netcode in particular is only being really changed now and yet the last few DLCs will be out over the next 3 months. People got stung badly with BF4 so I reckon that a lot of people won't be so quick to pick this up and fatten the wallets of the guys in EA who continue to sacrifice gameplay for extra profit.

I haven't bought a shooter in years but that looks fantastic.

The Red

Im hoping that there wont be a repeat in this instance... perhaps I am being naive but I would love to see this as a larger, more impressive version of Insurgency where people actually use tactics and run N gun isnt a viable technique. I know its madness but I am hopeful that Visceral are going to be so intent on making a good impression, that they really push to make this as finished as possible out of the gate...


Judging by the vid though... looks like players are blindly running into firefights and unloading weapons into the air, at roofs, at trucks and in the general vicinity of where enemies might possible be...

That Battlefield Feel...

speedboatchase

Aaaaaand it's gone.

The Red

Lol, once you see it...

Looks fun but doesn't look like a battlefield game to me. battlefield is about all out war not bank heists and cash grabs! will give it a try and most likely like it but it just won't be battlefield.

I'll wait til I see reviews and all the bugs are ironed out, dunno if it will be my cup of tea though....

My only worry is if DICE still can't create a working game on their own engine what hope do a new studio have.
I really enjoyed payday, I hope there's some stealth aspects to this aswell

It says at the start in collaboration with Dice, so maybe there's hope.

mozattack

Why is this information in the Battlelog release unless there to be found?

Regarding the game, I am interested but if there are no tanks, no IFVs and no real air combat it isn't a Battlefield is it? (I see a jet in the clip though).

I like the premise though but surely more "COD" than "BF".

Finally, why do people still bang on about BFBC3 when really that would be so similar to BF that it would just appear to be a watered down version so therefore pointless. I dont get the fascination and the failure for people to realise that the games are too similar to co-exist now, least Hardline is something new.

Really? Is it really new? You mention Call of Duty, and this game is definitely aiming at the PayDay audience given the success of that franchise. Also, it has the word 'Battlefield' tagged on because 'Medal of Honor' is tainted now (need a few years for that to cool off), and they can't come up with a new name for it.

I would put on a large bet that the DLC of this game will include maps from Battlefield 3 and 4. Seriously. Use a 'Metro' to access an underground vault, etc.

allybhoy

Sorry, but i think it actually looks decent!

Visceral already co-developed battlefield 4 with DICE, that said they have already experience with the Frostbite Engine and the problems that came with the game post release so i doubt they will repeat the issues. If you ask me damn all DICE crew worked on BF4 and most the workload was put on visceral and why it had so many issues with DICE working on releasing the Battlefield series to other
EA owned Studios with DICE going full speed on the EA/Disney Star wars collaboration and the upcoming Battlefront and remaining bf4 DLC being left to the new formed DICE LA studio.

The Red

**** it, I think it looks CLASS. If the single player is good, then great, it will be a bonus but I reckon smaller groups of players infiltrating urban maps with a purpose will be great craic with the battlefield mechanics. Then as more of a bonus, you have hopefully good maps, again with battlefield vehicles mechanics, doing some crazy car chase fights and air assault madness.

And actually I dont care if the maps are HUGE and there are good vehicle chase battles, or if they are close quarters and smaller objective focused, I think Ill be happy.

Of course it could all go horribly wrong and it might be a mess...

TireeTerror

WOW WOW WOW !!!! I like this new direction a LOT!

Stone Deaf 4evr

Looks great, but then again, so does BF4. It'll be a very cautious purchase as far as Im concerned. I just feel that EA/DICE are really taking the pis$$ lately, That "buy a battlepack" thing is a move too far IMO.

ktulu123

I like the look of the game but it's a bit pointless sticking the "Battlefield" name to it. It's just brand association

Adamcp898

Battlefield: GTA*

*open world DLC sold separately

5uspect

Underwhelmed TBH.
All I see is more daft single player that takes itself far too seriously and an attempt to shoe horn the Battlefield name into a bunch of CS and racing game modes. Just make it a new IP ffs.

Here's the live leak video if the YouTube ones disappear.

I had another look at the clip... do the player animations look a little wierd, kinda cartoony or something?. Not too gone on that but maybe it is because it is early days

The Red

Ah that vid is early days.. should be better on release.. at least it better be!

Sparks

Can't wait to see the response to EA's pre-order offers

weiland79

Cool I'm all for a change of direction. I haven't put nearly as many hours into BF4 as i did with 3 and look forward to this.
When's it out?

ShadowHearth

So its like GTA, but with proper gun mechanics? I cant say that I dont like it.

No, that'd be the Altis Life mod for Arma

BPatsy

It looks good but i dont want to sound like a killjoy but maybe they should have fixed BF4 properly before making another one? i mean they are concentrating on releasing new games and dlc and the game is still not running smooth is shocking to say the least!

BTW i am not moaning as i love BF3 and i still play it regularly, i tried to like 4 but it was a mess tbh and to think they are working on another game without fixing bugs in the current BF makes me a bit weary of even bothering with this, same goes with GTA 5, these games where a bit of a let down, deleted them both off my ps3 and traded them in as i was sick of the constant problems and freezing issues.

Hopefully this will be a bit more polished but im sceptical as too many game publishers these days rush out unfinished games to meet "deadlines" and the rely on patches months down the line to fix things that should never have been allowed to be released in the first place, there should be rules against unfinished games going to retail before there are completed and nearly bug free imo.

hardweir

Not really feeling this at all,assuming its mostly close quarters and the player count will be reduced.That feeling you get where anything can happen in battlefield will be diminished with this.
Absolutely hated close quarters in bf3 and never play maps like locker room,its just not battlefield imo.

I will give it the benefit of doubt but a bit dissappointed they didnt reach higher.

Ps-please Dice for the love of god leave the bloody rooftops out this time.

Sparks

CAD pretty much nails it:

Rumours are that it will be 8 v 8 and there will be bots, ala Titancrap.

Yes; what crap!
