So was the "return to historical FPS" just a fad?

So was the "return to historical FPS" just a fad?

We won't know until we get a news about what's the next project

...

we wuzn't?

The return to historical FPS was just so they could fill it with (((diversity))) and fill in the annual quota of a new game release.

Yeah, the main trend is about killing white right-wingers now.

If Cod WW2 is huge it'll continue, if not this will probably be the last of it. Also, calling BF1 a historical FPS is pretty dumb. It's more of a mildly steampunk shooter than WW1.

It was just a gimmick to generate buzz. Before the game was even officially announced, you saw articles titled "Next battlefield game rumored to take place in World War 1" everywhere.

How do people not find it utterly disgusting to have their ancestors portrayed as filthy niggers?

...

On one hand you get to shoot niggers, but on the other, you are one yourself…
What are some other games with deep moral dilemmas?

San Andreas.

name 3 games

COD WW2 is going to be a complete bust. People were already getting tired of the COD formula with infinite warfare and WW2 feels EXACTLY like every other COD game of the last ~10 years. It will get mediocre sales at best and we'll get to see what new fad setting comes down the pipe from ((AAA publishers.)))

Mafia 3
New Wolfenstein
New Far Cry

Honestly give us a challenge

Probably because historical accuracy won't be a factor in star wars games

It might be since the game is already in the Origin vault.

…or stronk black russian womyn (the latest DLC).

How did Battlefield 1 do? I thought it was a critical success and the future COD shit was the flop?

I think a comparable number of people are still playing Battlefield 4.

You can bet its worse now

What the fuck does this mean?

Didn't 4 flop?

I don't know what this means. Where are the designations for each line?

Playerbase was mostly unhappy with the game and dropped it pretty quickly. Everything I've read about it seems to suggest there's a bunch of gameplay and spam issues that are never going to be addressed by patches. Not that any of this matters because these disgruntled people will buy the next game anyway.

It's kind of sad because BF1 is better than the other BF games, but then again it could be a personal bias because I fucking hate planes and love that you can shoot them down with regular guns in BF1.

Green is PC, Blue is XBONE, Orange is PS4

What do the fucks scribbled on the picture represent , idiot.

By what? Search, player base, purchases?

Gee, who could have guessed?

Player base

Make a game about a black battalion? That's cool.
Make everyone everywhere black, even when that flies in the face of historical fact? That's fucking bullshit.

I've heard that a lot of people went back to BF4.

Holy shit… that's low. It's really sad, considering that BF was a PC game first.

True. I've watched a couple of videos from the beta and it looks like a reskin of MW Remastered. It's way too fast and they still don't want to add penalties for the quitters.

BF1 is only better in two respects: Handguns and melee.

Handguns feel better and are more clearly designed for hipfire so you can use them on the move.

Melee is WAY better than BF3/BF4, stabbing/bludgeoning people actually feels like stabbing/bludgeoning and rushing people down with melee is more of an option since you're not immediately locked into an animation. Also there's multiple kinds of weapons with different stats.

Everything else is pure trash, you're either getting spammed down by "not an assault rifle" #465582, or sniped. The fact that DICE had the gall to nerf shotguns after launch just proves that this spam/campfest is what they envisioned.

I really don't see where they can go next except a BF2142 remake, and that's probably not going to happen since EA can't have any sci fi games cutting into their Star Wars shekels.

The Battlefield series is fucking dead. Expect DICE to shit out at least one more mediocre map pack before saying they're "slowing down" the BF release schedule to "ensure quality." Either that, or a Vietnam remake, with both the US and NVA teams being black.

BF4 and 1 are still being updated, but in all the Battlefield games there is dickloads more content in 4, Hardline died sharply which as a result made the devs go back to 4 to fix it which helped a lot.

Nowadays BF4 is in my opinion one of the best shooters out there, its a compeltely different game compared to release, it also helped last christmas with the release of several balance and bugfix patches the game was enormously discounted with the premium pass so lots more people were able to access content.

The automatic weapons were a mistake, I can't believe they thought that it was a good idea. Snipers are cancer in this game.

If they were smart, they would've made a Bad Company 3 (like the first one).

Considering the nigger germans in both BF1 and cod ww2 and the fact that the latter game won't even depict swastikas makes it pretty obvious that this is just an attempt at a gimick setting rather than actually giving a fuck about the source material.

I'm surprised that people of American-Indian descent are not outright offended that their ancestors are portrayed as tree-hugging pansies instead of the warriors that they were.

Wouldn't that end up being incredibly racist, especially since the public was against the war when the media began lying to them about it? And, the whole war was just a PR stunt by LBJ anyway.

(Nice ID there Satan)

Honestly, I wanted to see about trying Hardline just for the Hell of it sometime (Because it sounded good), but EA's poisoned their well too much, which is preventing anything from them to be appetizing.

Sad fact is that the CoD series actually did give a damn about it's gimmick back when they made Modern Warfare, which is quite ironic since that's the installment for which people place the blame on for causing the entire game industry to fall in the first place.

DICE themselves admitted that Bad Company's success was a complete fluke, and they have no idea how they would go about making a third one.

I quite enjoyed Hardline, and thanks to BF1 going back to server browsers all the current BF games are going to have server browsers ported back, since that stupid browser thing was a massive exploit for hacks.

Goddamn its fun i have to admit it, but nearly no one plays hardline anymore.

1. They weren’t the indigenous peoples (thanks for not saying ‘native americans’).
2. Warriors that were justly slaughtered doesn’t make for good gibsmedats propaganda, and they prefer their gibs to actually working.

Jews.

What galls me is that they try SO HARD to pretend they don't have assault rifles in the game.

The game would be LESS cancerous if the fastest-firing infantry weapon that could be used by a standing player was semi-automatic, but the shitty netcode which is somehow WORSE than BF4 even in 24-player servers and the shitty maps full of chokepoints just make all of this shit NOT FUN. Not to mention the lack of weapon diversity because for some reason they're fine with putting historical accuracy in the trash but GOD FORBID they make up some guns with actually different stats from each other.

I played the game for free and still failed to get any real enjoyment out of it. Compare this to the probably hundreds of hours I spent playing BF4 even with all the cancer that game has. It's varied and diverse enough to have something for most players, and somehow DICE managed to completely fail to learn from anything they did there and release Battlefield 1, a game so bland, so bloated with big-budget visuals and marketing campaigns that it may actually be the last large-scale Battlefield game, maybe the last DICE shooter for a couple of years if Battlefront 2 somehow flops (it won't, thanks Disney).

A few people with a slight awareness of history will probably object, since the draft was basically a poor people/black people meatgrinder, but they wouldn't be buying AAA shooters anyway and DICE will just spout some shit about HONORING MUH POC SOLDERS and be done with it.

I kind want to try Hardline since I have (((Origin Access))) but I assumed it was completely dead at this point.

Its legacy isnt a excuse to keep playing a bad game

Try american hours when playing, the few servers fill up around that time.

>"Hey! Why don't we make a (((classic arena shooter))) that people say they love!"
>Well gosh gee, it looks we were lied to again! Clearly gamers didn't want this kind of dead genre in (((current year)))

Alright, installan then. Maybe I'll have some fun playing by-the-book and doing nonlethal takedowns on everyone.

The only good FPS is Doom and its sequel, Doom II. Incidentally, they're also the only good video games.

What's worse is that there's no option to force people to play with a certain weapon type in private servers. I think it could've saved the game but DICE refused. They don't give a shit, they want to implement an esport mode instead.

I really have to wonder where the AAA shooter shit shovel is going to start digging next.

What's next? Medieval first person archery games (with "repeating" crossbows)? Neolithic spear-throwing melee arenas?

If you were a AAA shooter dev that needed to secure their next $100M from investors or go out of business, what setting/gimmick could you honestly pitch as a "safe bet/next big thing?" I really don't know.

Last news is EA shat the bed again. They are going to sell BF1 + premium at 60$. Premium users already getting angry because they had to pay 120$.
Game isn't selling good me think

End Times is a thing for a reason, shit will get so fucked that only a divine intervention can fix it.

Link's Crossbow Training?
Far Cry Primal?
Rail shooters
I swear, with the way things are going, they might as well be making those. And, try to, somehow, making an esport scene around it.

"But where's the multiplayer, Mr. user? My market analysis tell me that any successful shooter must have 'esports' and 'loot crates' to be worth investing in."

Rail shooters can easily be multiplayer too, all players get into eachothers vision at the same time so get the excitement of a wild west standoff where the fastest and most accurate shooter wins!

"There is multiplayer. A bunch of bot units will move around and control where the character goes while the player just focuses on shooting whoever crosses their path. With this sure-fire idea, players will always be in the middle of the action due to the AI always searching for the closet units to kill."

This is good, isn't it?

meant to reply to

The only reason snipers are so good in NuBattlefield is because the map design is absolutely fucking atrocious. If the maps were properly made, and if there was cover you could use to advance from objective to objective, the snipers in BF4 would be dogshit, since they have bullet velocity rivaling the speed of an Asian man's cumshot, and the bullets drop like my erection after seeing a closeup of the guy's face in the porno. For God's sake, some of the bolt action sniper rifles in Battlefield 4 can't kill in one headshot at some ranges. While in Bad Company 2, it is true that you could snipe people with assault rifles god bless the An-94 Abakan, the sniper rifles had higher bullet velocity, the enemies were larger, and they moved slower, and their animations were fucking consistent, whereas in Battlefield 4, the sprinting enemy looks around and moves his head like an ADHD sperg. Even in BF3, the snipers had great velocity and not much bullet drop, so you could actually hit the fast moving targets. Whereas in BF4, the only way to get sniper kills is to quicksope niggers, or camp one of the many super long chokepoint hallways, with one box of cover, or the wide open fields with no cover at all.

This is a good thing. Look at how fast they died.
Normalfags are becoming bored, more quickly. They're going to reach a breaking point, and soon. Be there for when it happens.

They'll reach a breaking point, and probably find the next hobby to leech off of. I just hope VR actually gets cheap enough to rip normalfags off of actual videogames.

How are the spawns still so shit? They've been shitting these out every year for almost a decade.

That kind of twitchiness could actually be a bit fun.

I think virtua cop already had that.
players hide in buildings and at the same time pop out at random locations.

i don't get enough chances to post this and have it be relevant

Yes. And it was a retarded fad at that

...

Never stop posting this. I love this.

What historical FPS's have even come out? I mean real ones.

Verdun.

The new DLC about the Women's Battalion of Death You know, I'd just like to interject quickly. The Women's Battalion of Death was a historical group, but no where near as metal as the trailers portray them as. The Harlem Hellfighters, though they didn't win the war single-handidly like BF1 portrays it as, actually fought and were pretty good, The WBoD, in comparison, fought in one of the last offensives of the war with their only accomplishment of breaking vodka bottles in order to prevent males soldiers from getting drunk. hasn't come out yet, so that might boost popularity again.

Yes, nothing historical about these turds.
Just a new coat of paint for modern warfare shit.

Fuckoff Reddit

BF1 flopped ?
That's impressive given all the shilling there wuz.

You retards serious?
Normalfags ate that shit up like it was the best thing ever, fucking things are sitting at like 10 Million each.

Everything is a trend.

Good. BF4 was actually a reasonably good game other than the FUCKING retarded decision to do client-side hit detection instead of server-side so it's like playing Halo 3 all over again, go around a corner into safety and still die because some faggot with a ping of 600000000's screen shows you out in the open and needs more players.

Hardline was retarded. The campaign was nice and enjoyable enough even if everything past the BETRAYAL seemed rushed and muh multicultural heroes memery, but everything else about it reeked of "this should have been a SP game but MP and the battlefield name were slapped on for sales".

They're not going to be able to get away with that. They already did that with the expansion pack/DLC for Bad Company 2, too soon for a redo. Where's Bad Company 3? The series is clearly unfinished. As is the Ghosts series in call of duty.

Keep forgetting to put your comments in one post m8?

*SMACKS LIPS

It could've been such a better game had they not effectively made it a WW2 game with a WW1 game.

Says the shill for the trillionth time defending the dog shit that is BF1. BF1 could've been a not shit version of Verdun because it would've had a AAA budget and not running on Unity, but instead we got Diversityfield 1.

If Battlefield was too afraid to embrace WW1's setting then they should've just made a WW2 game like they obviously must've wanted. Hell, they didn't have to do a strictly World War game, they could've done tons of other equally cool and underused settings for an FPS like the Korean War, Vietnam, the Rhodesian Bush War, Yugoslavian civil war, etc.

BF1 just pisses me the fuck off because of how much wasted potential there was because both the devs and the god awful community were too afraid to try something radically different so they instead pissed away the entire point of setting their game in WW1 so they wouldn't lose money.

WW2 game with a WW1 skin.

…If you like unskippable scripted sequences.

There's no sequel for Ghosts because there's no point. The entire game was awful, the "twist" at the end was just a twist to show how smart the writer was for making that shit story.

This.

Why did you expect EA to do anything right?
Why did you think EA wouldn't waste potential like they always do?

When I heard that DICE was making a WWI game, I was quite happy, then I saw the reveal trailer with the historical revisionism and the Battlefield theme destroyed by rap "music".

Did you really need a reveal trailer to know that EA was gonna fuck it up?

WE

Battle Royales

Yeah, I have a feeling this is going to be the fad of late 2017 into 2018.

Battle Royales and notsports

War of Rights.

...

fix

Can someone explain this picture to me?

It wasn't even a fad. It was just a stupid marketing gimmick caused by inept CEOs misunderstanding what gamers wanted. Gamers said "We want more old school shooters" and the retards in suits thought they meant they wanted games themed around 20th century warfare.

Indianfag here, or at least Indian enough to qualify for government entitlements, live on reservations, etc. I never cared about the portrayal of my ancestors because I don't have any connection to my ancestors outside my blood. I mean, they're cool dudes, but I also think Andrew Jackson was pretty neato and he nearly wiped out most of my ancestors. I guess my problem is that I don't really identify myself as Indian. I just don't group people together based on heritage, ethnicity, sex, and other demographics in my mind except one. There's me, and then there's everyone else. I am my own person who is not dependent on lineage for personal validation. While it's cool to think, "Oh wow, my ancestors were some brutal motherfuckers," it doesn't make me a natural brutal motherfucker nor does it make anyone else I'm not related to who was also a brutal motherfucker less cool. If I wanted to be one, I'd earn it myself, but right now I'm just user who likes to shitpost about video games. Hell, the closest thing I identify with is being a resident shitposter.

That being said, portraying characters differently is insulting to the actual group they belong to. I'm sure that WWI and WWII veterans would be just as offended to see their contribution revised and politicized as blacks are when they see whites in blackface though I'm pretty sure that pic related is Al Jolson, who was Jewish and wore blackface to help normalize white audiences to blacks in theater.

There is demand for properly done historical shooters but the thing is that they need to be done correctly in order to both work well and capture their desired audience. The executives got scared that the lowest common denominator of some 13 year old ADD kid with an energy drink habit would get bored by gameplay without spray and pray shit so they of course went full ahistorical on that shit because they legit believe that kind of game design brings the bucks in rather than marketing and not botching the launch.

Where?

No idea, funny how they talked about historical accuracy during e3 while a tank was making flips in a trench and multiple niggers were running around.

...

My great great grandfather got drafted into the russian army during ww1, fought against the germans 1914 to 1917 when he got into a pow camp. Does it disgust me ? Enough for me not to ever touch this shitty game, but do I lose sleep at night about it ? Nah, atleast it was the first redpill for some normans

Day of infamy is pretty good

daily reminder: ea dice have a deal with kikes:

>we create cuck nigger games and you give us your printed (((money)))

That was my point.
