God damn.



I hope Visceral survives to make another game. I like the idea of a cop procedural game but the Battlefield-ness smells like some publisher mandated bullshit.

 

[bitcloudrzr]

Huh. How did that rumor get started?

On the Hardline is gold thread, someone who I guess reviews games tweeted that out.

 

[Sojgat]

Battlefield Hardline [OT]: Battlefield FIVE-O

I like it!

Has to be this.

 

[Phat Michael]

The game looks pretty bad on XB1. The low resolution really hurts the look. EA access is great, saved me $60. The music in the game is fantastic though.

 

[Phat Michael]

Battlefield: Hardline |OT| Woop-woop, that's the sound of da police

Who sings that song? I liked it from the demo.

Edit: oh shit its krsone

 

[bitcloudrzr]

God damn.

Doubt it. They would have to try hard to screw this game up considering infantry gunplay in the beta is better than BF3 and 4.

Then that person has no idea what they were talking about.

PS4 copies were out to press on Wed.

XBO copies were out to press yesterday.

Battlefield: Hardline |OT| Woop-woop, that's the sound of da police

The only song driving around in cars I remember from the beta. That should be the official title for this thread. Good job.

 

[LtOrange]

I was pretty down on this game after the first beta, but I have really come around on it. Now I'm anxiously waiting for my copy to unlock.

Maybe we can get some good GAF matches going next week. Add me on PSN: LtOrange

Battlefield Hardline |OT| I'm only here for the reloads

I like this.

 

[WarrenMax007]

Have it pre-ordered. Second beta was amazing.

So whats our guys favorite weapons so far? Really havent purchased to much. Im mostly interested in playing operative (I think thats the one, where you play as a medic) or a mechanic.

After beta my favourites are M416 and G36C.
For mechanic combination of K10 + .357 RS for cops, and P90 + .44 Magnum fro criminals are the best.

 

[Krappadizzle]

Anyone know where to pick this up for ~$30 on PC? Got lucky last time and found BF4 cheap before release.

[Enilced2]

Oh god I am in I wish I was getting my copy early

 

[GravyButt]

For anyone that purchased the game and playing early via EA Access, did you get all your Battle Packs? They did download for me, but not seeing them in the BP area. Maybe appear at true launch date?

I got some. Preordered digital deluxe and never got the guns.

Battlefield Hardline [OT]: Battlefield FIVE-O METACRITIC

 

[chronic_archaic]

Just got my hands on the Xbox 360 build. It looks dreadful. Really bad. Gameplay feels fine like in the beta. Maybe it's just this particular map. I really hope so.

[Killer]

The sp mode has potential from what i played. It doesn't suck like 3 and 4.

I'm getting this game. it's really close-quarters battlefield experience rather than big open maps. I don't mind that for a change.

 

[aspiegamer]

First review of the game.

This is both the absolute crappiest and simultaneously greatest use of this review format I've seen in a long time.

It has everything you could ever want. Guns. Fast cars. Guns. Boobs. Guns. Police brutality and violence against minorities.

'MURICA!

 

[Skenzin]

Are the in game MP graphics really a huge step back compared to BF4?

I keep hearing that it looks really bad.

On the ps4 I thought the gfx exceeded bf4. It looked less washed out, more colorful, with better textures..

 

[SnakeEyes]

Press "F" to Ferguson

HO DAMN!

Also a question - do the quirky weapon reloads take the same length of time as the regular ones?

 

[LonelyGreyWolf]

Kudos for not doing a stupid subtitle.

OT's should always have subtitles.

360 is 10 years old. Gfx aside the game probably has a lot going on under the hood.

Yes, same exact frames.

Visceral the "game studio" will certainly survive this game, since they've still got that Amy Hennig Star Wars game in production. This particular team within Visceral however, I could see them going through some layoffs if Hardline underperforms. And with how hard EA has been pushing this game, anything sub-2 million would probably be underperforming.

Right now the best case I could see this team splitting up and either being shunted into the Star Wars SP game development, or into the DICE LA team to work on "Battlefield content" in perpetuity.

The last beta was great, game will do fine. It has come a very long way from the dismal alpha.

Only found out about them at the end of last year, but damn if I don't always laugh at a GWC "review".

 

[chronic_archaic]

OK, playing on Dust Bowl again and it's just like the beta. So it's not too bad on last gen I guess. But game certainly isn't a looker. A lot of fun however.

 

[KaYotiX]

I agree, I just cant get over how bad it looks while playing on XB1.

Might buy when its $30 or less.

 

[komorebi]

First "Battlefield" game I'll be skipping in the last five years. On the plus side my wallet can breathe for once.

 

[Liquidsnake]

Well,

Saved me $60 bucks. I am tired of paying for last gen looking games on new consoles. Its very frustrating.

 

[jesu]

Have played a few games of Heist and Hotwire and to be honest I had absolutely no idea what I was supposed to be doing!
Had a good time I think though.
Will try Team Deathmatch, I know what I'm supposed to do there.

The graphics aren't the best but it still looks better than last gen games.
Before Hardline I had just been playing GTAV on the 360, it looks way better than that.

Heist = steal the monies.

Hotwire = Drive the marked cars for as long as possible (they are basically mobile control points).

Would we be able to make another thread to discuss political stuff so it doesnt shit up the OT?

 

[HariKari]

Would we be able to make another thread to discuss political stuff so it doesnt shit up the OT?

Is this quote:

"I wrote one about this guy getting back together with his ex-girlfriend," Auten explained. "Someone on the team pointed out that 'hey idiot, this is someone you are about to shoot in the head, not deliver flowers to,' so we decided, let's not go down that route. We had to cut out the dialog and make it more informative. We had to make sure the bad guys felt like bad guys so the player isn't as emotionally conflicted about the gameplay."

Political or just shitty writing/design?

 

[Dominator]

Just got to Chapter 6. I'm playing way more stealthy because of the arrest system, I'm enjoying it a lot.

 

[goldsoundz]

Preloaded on PC. I enjoyed both betas, but it took some mental adjustments to break my expectations of what a Battlefield game is and should be. I'm not saying that Hardline felt completely unlike a Battlefield game in the betas; it's just different, and I think most of us have come to terms with that. Battlefield 4 will still have its spot in my game rotation and Hardline will as well.

Limitations of conveyance, and figuring out where your focus is.

 

[Zornack]

Political or just shitty writing/design?

How about neither? The game isn't trying to be some deep introspective about how bad guys are people too, it's just a "hey we're cops fighting the bad guys" game, isn't it?

 

[FullMetaltech]

Battlefield Hardline [OT]: Battlefield FIVE-O METACRITIC

I would have loved to peer inside your brain while it was processing Bad Boys.

 

[old manatee]

Has anybody used an Xbox One controller on PC? Battlefield 4 has shit controller support.
