Titanfall 2 is releasing this year.
It is? Crap, some reason I thought it was some time in 2017.

Hmmm..... I'll probably go the BF 1 + TF 2 route for games.

However, EA releases their games to EA Access about 9 months after launch. I can always cheap out and do CoD, then wait for BF 1 and TF2 to hit the vault.
 
Will be interesting how mobile/speedy the bi-planes are. In reality, they weren't fast, agile, carried lots of ammo, and there were no special hi-tech weapons or targeting systems.

But I believe they were effective since the weaponry from the ground weren't sophisticated enough or had the range to shoot them down well.
 
Damn. My fav gun from WaW (Dinner Plate-28 ) won't be in this game. According to Wiki, it didn't come out until 1928.
 
Who gives a s*** what platform it was running on? This was a game unveil event............

Xbox One is also the lead platform apparently. So, if peeps have problem with it being footage from X1, then they must be furious about it being lead platform. Lolz.


All I know is that I am super excited for this game based on what we have seen and the few details we have. I sure hope it lives up to what they state and the hype by those who have played it, because I have been very disappointed with this franchise since BF 2142. I am hoping this Battlefield 1 will be another BF game that takes thousands of hours from my spare time, which hasn't happened since BF2 on PC.
 
People on PS4:

Come October when someone keeps getting headshots on you with a bolt action rifle from a trench, or when someone blows your horse up with a tank, or when someone bayonet charges you from behind when you're trying to hide, or when someone blows up your armored vehicle with dynamite, it will be me. Sorry in advance.
 
People on Xbox One:

Come October when you see an idiot on a horse trying to headbutt a tank, or trying to hitch a ride on a biplane while still riding a horse, or attaching explosives on to a horse then accidentally blowing himself and the rest of his team up, it will be me. I'm not sorry about that.
 
I'm strapping horses with dynamite. The f***s I give are less than 0. No more jihad jeeps, Jihad Mr Ed's. Be prepared.
 
I don't need all that fancy jihad stuff. I just need a Mauser Rifle and a tank to shoot at :grin:

Exactly. It's a trailer. Most trailers are rendered BS anyway. And if it's real footage, it's all nicely edited and coming from a PC rig 99% of the time.

Who's complaining about the trailer and the platform of choice?

It is representative of actual game-play, and was all Xbox One in-engine footage, apparently.

It always is. The same thing was said about the trailer for the last battlefield game and that one nearly turned me off the series for good. It does look good though. A World War One setting is something I've been waiting on for a long time.

Well yeah, these things always need to be taken with a grain of salt. We shall see soon enough. EA Play is very soon. So is E3. I would imagine Microsoft will have footage to show.
 
Medal of Honor Warfighter had great promo videos and I remember a slick gameplay video too..... probably a PC rig.

But the the first time real gameplay was done with gamers was some kind of Gamespot stream in a friendly contest between gamers vs. EA Q&A testers. Game looked like shyt.

EA always has the best preview vids. Whomever in their marketing dept is in charge of editing their promo vids should be promoted to CEO.

Well, I am assuming this footage is more akin to the campaign rather than Multiplayer. I think 64 players in huge open maps with that kind of graphic fidelity is probably asking a bit too much of this hardware.
 
Battlefield 1 Dev Hopeful Game Can Avoid Battlefield 4-Like Rocky Launch

Asked by GamesBeat what DICE is doing to ensure a Battlefield 4-like launch won't happen again, lead designer Daniel Berlin said Star Wars Battlefront's smooth rollout is evidence that DICE is improving. He also said he expects Battlefield 1's upcoming beta to help hammer out any issues before launch.

"It's a focus for us," Berlin said about ensuring Battlefield 1 gets off on the right foot. "We know [Battlefield 4] was a difficult launch. We've been working on this for a long time. We released Battlefront, which did really well. We're pushing an open beta to ensure stability. We've taken a lot of learnings from that experience, and we feel like we succeeded with Battlefront. We'll take everything we learned there and apply it to Battlefield 1 as well."

Yeah, right.....and I am about to go feed my stable of unicorns and wrestle my flying pigs out the sky.

Battlefield launches are notorious.
 
EA betas? The ones that are released one month before the game hits stores?

And somehow in between the beta and final game a million bugs are squashed and servers perfected? lol

What's really alarming is that he's only "hopeful". I'm sorry, but if you plan to launch one of the biggest games of the year you better be pretty f***ing certain your infrastructure and code are up to the job.

I am hoping they are using Microsoft's Azure now it is available for any game on any platform...but I doubt they are.
 
Battlefront was smooth and painless, I'm not sure there is any real reason to hesitate these days.
 
I believe the time of EA and their unreliable launch is nearly ending, and if BF1 manages to be good then the whole thing will be done once and for all.

Lol "hopeful" that their launch won't be a disaster.

I'm betting their not hopeful about stuffing their fat wallets, that's a guarantee unlike our launch experience.
 
I doubt we'll see anything like BF4. That was a multiplat being launched on old and new gen consoles, plus PC and rushed to be a launch game.

No reason to think this will have similar problems. It is always a good idea to wait and see anyway.
