Please let us be able to shoot the horses with sniper rifles. Can you imagine the potential outrage for being able to do that?

 

Otherwise, looks good. No more lock-on weapons, no UCAVs or IRNV or MAVs or spawn beacons, YES! I said after Battlefield 4 I wasn't going to purchase another Battlefield game, but looks like I'll be changing my mind.

Yep, all the lock on ###### was getting pretty tiresome

Probably a "duh" update ... but Battlefield 1 will have micro/macro transactions per their Q4 2016 Earnings Call (starting about 49:42 into the conference call)

 

As it relates to Battlefield 1 and extra monetization opportunities; taking it a step back anytime we think about extra monetization inside gameplay experience we think about it in two vectors.  1) Are we able to provide value to the gamer in terms of extending and enhancing their experience and 2) are we able to do that in a world where we give them choice.  We never want to be in a place where there is a belief that we are providing a pay to win mechanic inside one of our games.  I think what you've seen from us over the last couple of years is our ability to balance our decision to delivery tremendous value through choice to our players which is why our extra content line of business has continued to grow healthy.  /snip  

In Battlefield 1 you will see both macro-monetization opportunities from us...like maps and large scale content...as well as micro-monetization opportunities...smaller increments of gameplay and then over time what you'll see from us is elements of gameplay that allow gamers to engage, drive , expand and enhance their experience much the way people do with FIFA Ultimate Team or Madden Ultimate Team today."  

 

This isn't verbatim ... was typing as I was listening.

Yeah. I was on board for pre ordering which I typically don't do anymore. Ironically the last game I ever pre ordered was Battlefield 3. But now? Nope.

 

I won't be buying the game until I see how it actually turns out with that bit of news. I'm not ready to scream doom and gloom yet but now I'm being cautious.

If anyone is interested ... this guy covers World War I in great detail (they are all good IMO) ... anyway, he breaks down the Battlefield 1 trailer in pretty great detail (including naming weapons, aircraft, uniforms, ground artillery, places of battle, etc.) and analyzes it to the true events/weaponry/etc. of WW1.  Interesting ... if you're into this kind of stuff...which I am. :)

 

 

... he gives it fairly high remarks on accurate portrayal (solely based on the trailer)...minus a few things of course.

Where is the link to sub to the newsletters, precisely? That link just takes you to the Insider page...

You need to be an Insider to get the earlier access to the Beta....you didn't think it would be that easy did you? :p

EA Play won't be your only opportunity to play before release, though. There will be more chances in the months that follow, including an Open Beta (which you can get into a little earlier if you sign up for Battlefield Insider. EA Access and Origin Access members will be able to play for a limited time before the release date, too. And if you pre-order the Early Enlister Deluxe Edition, you’ll be able to start playing on October 18, three days before the release date.

TBH I have no idea what Insider is...But the page finally loaded correctly and I've "joined". Seems I didn't even need to, seeing as I have EA Access.

Given that in Battlefield 1, you will see both macro monetization opportunities from us like maps and large scale content, as well as micro monetization opportunities, smaller increments of gameplay, and then over time, what you will see from us is elements of gameplay that allow gamers to engage and drive, and extend and enhance their experience, much the way people do with FIFA Ultimate Team or Madden Ultimate Team today. We feel very confident in our ability to deliver that in a way that is deemed valuable by our player, and drives increased engagement over time with them.

They do this for Battlefield 4 as well, and it doesn't impact my experience playing it whatsoever. 

 

As long as purchasing these packs etc is not a requirement, then I will be ok.

    • Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion gives the Slayer a brutal Chain Spear

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion gives the Slayer a brutal Chain Spear by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Last year, id Software released Doom: The Dark Ages as a prequel to its reboot series, offering a look at the legendary Slayer character during an ancient war between Hell and Heaven. Today, at the Xbox Games Showcase, id Software returned with a new announcement that unveiled Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations as its first story expansion. The expansion will see the Slayer being betrayed and cast into a "merciless purgatory only escapable by confronting haunting truths." Somehow, there is one ally in all this chaos seemingly attempting to help our protagonist escape his fate. Players will be ascending this prison and fighting plenty of new demons and abominations as they work to free the Slayer's followers. One new aspect of the expansion will be the Chain Spear. This new weapon is described by the studio as a "uniquely satisfying combat system that rewards mastery with a potent combination of power and mobility." Check out the trailer below to see the new weapon in action, where the Slayer is seen using it to even pin enemies to walls. id Software is also preparing a free update to all owners of Doom: The Dark Ages that will land alongside the new paid expansion. Dubbed the Ripatorium 3.0 update, this will add more customization options, an improved pass code generation system, and preset options for players diving into the game's arena challenge mode. Expansion buyers will also receive additional maps, demons, and new weapons to use in this mode in addition to the story levels. Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion is out on July 7 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $19.99 price tag. Those who own the Premium Edition or the Collector's Bundle will receive the expansion for no extra cost as well.

      Hyped for this. Replayed the remasters recently and they're so well done, and Crash 4 was great too. I trust this team to deliver.
    • Ninja Theory's new Hellblade game is action-focused and set in Purgatory

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Ninja Theory's new Hellblade game is action-focused and set in Purgatory by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Ninja Thery has been building its award-winning Hellblade series since 2017, delivering Senua's Sacrifice and Senua's Saga since then. Today at the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase, the studio had a brand-new installment announcement featuring Senua again, but this time, she is in a version of purgatory, and the focus is on the action. Simply named Senua, this new entry is described as a "full-on action-adventure" experience, delivering an expanded focus on combat, puzzle-solving, and freedom of exploration. The developer says that it is keeping the same high production values and storytelling features of the previous games while giving what players have been asking for in the gameplay department. The entirety of Ninja Theory is now working on Senua, giving the project much more manpower than ever before, while also letting the team draw on its action roots from Devil May Cry and prior titles. However, the studio also confirmed that its previously announced Project Mara horror experience is no longer in development. Alongside snappier traversal moves, Senua will be able to take stealth and direct combat routes. She has access to her own sword, plus any enemy weapons as well, with dual wielding also being an option for most dropped melee swords, axes, and other weapons. Outside of melee combat, Senua will be able to use special abilities that let her alter the reality around her. The world is said to be about twice the size of Hellblade 2. While this won't be an open-world experience, the linear story will let players explore their surroundings further than before. The story of Senua will be set after the events of previous Hellblade titles, with our protagonist being stuck in her own version of Purgatory. The series' well-explored psychosis themes will return as well. "She’s trapped between life and death on a quest to reach the afterlife and be reunited with the ones that she’s loved and lost," adds the studio. "Her belief is that by healing the wounds of her life, she can find the peace that is the key that unlocks the gate to the afterlife." Senua is releasing on Xbox Series X|S, PC, and PlayStation 5 sometime in 2027.
    • Windows 11 gets big performance upgrade, shared audio support, and more in new update

      By mrp04 · Posted

      Windows has had it, it's called camera frame server. I recall when it was first introduced in an early Windows 10 release it caused issues and there was a registry entry to disable it. Seems like they disabled it by default at some point. Windows 11 brought that toggle to the settings app (not just registry) a while ago.
