EA announced Battlefield 6 will be revealed in June as a true next-generation game

Fuck... True next gen but also appearing on previous gen hardware.

Didn't they do cross-gen for BF4 on XBO and PS4 as well?
Yes, and right for that they were the same game, same gameplay, same all, aside graphics and some numbers.

Now we have a cpu that is eons above jaguar, and that alone could allow complex destruction and interactions, but next gen versions will be limited to do what old gen manage to do.

And they say they want to support this game for 3 - 4 years...
 
How many times in previous gens have we heard that same bullshit marketing term why is everyone surprised lol
I must admit that, while it was difficult to think that EA would scrap last gen, I did hope that they would do the bold move to release a surprising, industry shattering, proper next gen BF, to regain the hearts of the millions of gamers lost to CoD or others after BF5 fiasco.
But I suppose that there are very few people in charge of Software Houses that are able to dare something bold.
It's just the same old investors lines shit as usual.
 
Those expecting papa EA to release next gen only version need a reality check. With all the shortages, what do you expect the installbase to be of PS5/XSX when this game comes out?

Hell I wouldn't even blame papa EA, it would be financial suicide and the game would be considered a failure even if it was great. That said, I do expect two different teams working on last gen and next gen version and hope to see big difference.

True next gen? Ray tracing on consoles at 37.5 fps if standing still with no one around you let's goooooo !!!!
 
Maysbe they're going to try and make it like...The whole 'its better on this or that platform' like they did when Battlefield 3 came out. I remember being told the console version I was playing on my 360 was ehh, then I upgraded my old PC at the time and pushed the PC version and it felt so much better:


Or its just shitty advertising lol
 
Battlefield 4 was also crossgen.

But that also means it was scaled down. The maps were made smaller as were the player counts. And of course 30fps and lower settings.

It will probably be the same situation or maybe it won't and these versions will be cross play.
 
Those are some lofty promises regarding destruction, especially if the game will be cross-gen.
 
He said to expect:
- Epic scale
- All-out warfare
- Game changing destruction

That seriously is the marketing wank EA shits out every fucking BF game, it's almost 100% identical to the BF 4 marketing wank.

Every knows not to trust this guy, all he is a freelancing hype clown.

No trailer yet and they are already bullshitting us. Fucking wrap this up.

Lol at that Geoff tweet. Wilson telling you the trailer is amazing is akin to a guy smelling his own shit.

I think anything this gen can be made on last gen consoles, just toned down... Why wouldn't you want that money.
As in, we have as haven't seen proper/actual next gen games yet...and by next gen I mean the current one, these consoles have been out for quite a few months 😂

Edit : sorry for DP

I dont understand all the hate for games coming to both current and next gen.

You can take any game that is "true" next gen only and make it run on last gen.

Its not a current gen game with a enhancement patch for next gen.

This is especially true for games coming to PC aswell.

The time when a new generation of consoles made a huge leap that enabled games that was impossible on last gen are gone.
 
Everyone told them before BFV that they should launch their BR as a standalone F2P thing with a huge player count and some bonuses for buying the actual game. Instead they released a half baked 64 player turd that barely worked and was never meaningfully improved. And then COD went and did exactly what everyone told EA to do with Warzone. But hey at least BFV gave us a modern take on classics such as D-Day, Stalingrad, Battle of the Bulge, Kursk, and the Fall of Berlin... oh wait. It's hard for me to get over just how badly they bungled the whole BFV operation.

I'm sure the trailer is going to be badass. Hopefully they'll deliver this time around but I can't get hyped how I used to for Battlefield. This is mostly DICE proper right? Not the DICE LA that they got Zampella running? Should've just handed the franchise over to Vince once BFV flopped.
 
next gen... maybe the worst of all gens of any gaming era. for output , design , teasers. absolutely fk all since they released... next gen???
of course , it will improve , but even if they released the next gen systems tomorrow, it would be pretty much the same story as day one for titles.

but the lack of teasers , screenshots , is madness , that's what gamers live for!!! 80% is about looking forward. remember when you used to buy a magazine just to gorp at screenshots and dev info on triple aaas.
 
"A true next generation game*"
*Also releasing on last generation consoles

EA playing a card from Sony's deck.
Yeah, they can both fuck off.

Hopefully by the time they are gonna release ps5 pro and sex without condom we are gonna have only nextgen games...

Cool, please add more destruction and fun maps like what Bad Company 2 had.

Also it's BF, so I'll be playing on PC, couldn't care less about it being possibly held back by last gen hardware in the console space.
 
The next gen/cross gen boils down to crossplay.

If there are two versions of the game like BF4 one for XB1/PS4 and another for XSX/PS5 then that's probably ok as long as they don't decide support crossplay across gen's.

Crossplay across generations implies that all the players see the same destruction, physics, player counts, levels, etc. In a multiplayer game, the playing field has to be level for the systems. The nextgen one is severely gimped in this scenario, a polished turd if you will.

Can't wait to see this running on the original Xbone ....
 
That is very creative. Just copy and repost the Twitter announcements every year. This works for CoD, BF, FIFA etc. and people always believe that this time everything will be different (better).
 
Yes, and right for that they were the same game, same gameplay, same all, aside graphics and some numbers.

Never in a million years would they put this much effort; it will be the same game with Raytracing and higher res, higher player count and better effects.
 
"All-out warfare"

What the fuck does that even mean?
I think it's like those ''new and improved'' commercials. Like, the mr Clean we sold you before was garbage. But THIS ONE here, mr Clean plus, now that's the real shit (until mr Clean Ultra, that is)

So I think it means whatever we played before wasn't an all-out warfare. Just a tiny bit of warzi bitsy
 
Crossplay between PS5 & Series S/X.
Crossplay between PS4 & Xone.

I don't want crossplay with PC and their cheater problem because of no good anticheat, a lot better performance or people playing on low settings without shadows, no grass etc.
Also M&K.

So yeah, no PC for me thanks. They could implement an option for people if they want to play with their PC buddies but please don't make it mandatory.
