Embark Studios (old DICE) teases something for december 9th

They probably knew the shit-show that Battlefield 2042 was going to be and decided that they needed to reveal their game around the same time as the launch to show how a real grounded war game should be. Looks interesting and I'm looking forward to learning more soon.
 
It's their first game a squad based f2p 3rd-person shooter.

Open world multiplayer...

Sounds like they have two games in development. A 3rd person coop and a 1st person pvp shooter.

That big ass backpack with the antenna hopefully suggests long distance communication is vital.

It would be pretty cool if this was a 'Football Manager' situation here, where the old Championship Manager devs left and made Football Manager, while Championship manager died after a year or two, and Football Manager became the new mega succssflul game.
By the look of it they arent making a Battlefield style game though.
 
EA won't repeat the success of BF. It was their fist shooter that genuinely "stole players" from COD.

Ngl, this kinda got me hyped.

The deep lolz, some of the same fucking people that many claimed ruined the BF series, are some of the exact same people who are running this studio.... Even the person that has co-founded it is the person that was lead for Battlefront 2.... so....


Wait! A shooter not involving an endless bloated husk of sequels and prequels? Color me intrigued.

Wait until it even comes out, for all you know its the start of one of those in the first place lol



This is probably one of the funniest things being spread throughout multiple communities with very little actual contexts simply people wanting to look for hot takes or some sort of cause-and-effect lol

DICE is made up of close to 800 developers, even the large number of Developers working there have a background from other publishers like Activision Sony Ubisoft etc

The industry is contracted... if you actually closely look at lots of developers you'll see they have a catalog of games in their background in fact it's quite unusual if the entire team 100% only work on one franchise for their whole careers.

Embark is made up of over 250 Developers.... the majority of those developers actually did not come from DICE.... 67 developers literally confirms the majority isn't from DICE...

So it seems like there's this narrative to reach for this idea that this studio is some saving grace or where "da real" DICE is but ironically they happen to be with some of the very same individuals that put out some of the most controversial stuff from those past games in the first place..... so I might hold off on that little Narrative of trying to pretend that this is where the secret goodness is because these guys are the ones that made those controversial moves in the first place.

So I'm excited for what they put out either way, I simply don't care for the weird fake narrative when the founders are literally the people responsible for those controversial things that existed at that studio the previous generation..

I mean...shit me, did some of you even READ whats posted on their site?

To me this is a strong wait and see, so I'm hype for what they put out, but I know not of how this will play out and feel its waaaaay too soon to be saying some shit like "real Battlefield". For all you know they will attack this team with the same comments about "diversity" and mtx, Free To Play etc. Not saying not to get hype, simply that I don't know if this is your answer to the "real Battlefield" as they made the same fucking titles people stated where the fake ones.... so....who knows. I personally loved BFV and had no issue with lots of the comments made and even liked Battlefront 2, but shit those are the titles people even argue hurt the team, hurt the IP, or the PR was attacking fans, maybe its too soon to think a team of the founders of people who made those comments can take on that IP, just cause you dislike another team, you might also dislike that team for the comments and actions literally made by the team you are now praising to make the "real Battlefield".

Food for thought.

Bruh exactly. Hive mind at it again.
 
Looks like a 3rd person battle royala or 4 player coop game... yaaaaay....

Honestly i wouldn't be suprised if all those buildings were destructible(its EU 5 engine too)

These people were not involved in BF5 and BF2042

I think its likely some of them are destructible, some of them are not. Years ago I recall reading some article about a designer at DICE and they stated the reason why all things could not be destroyed in Bad Company had more to do with design as the wanted something competitive or fairness or some shit lol I don't remember the whole thing and might try to find it to post.

Damn! Another clown shooter...

lol this indeed looks like its going to be a Fortnite, APEX, Overwatch hero shooter PVE and PVP type thing.



lol dat footage doe! Its like some 300 lb guy in a clown suit shooting some sort of machine gun pistol and a person with a pink uzi next to a Samurai lol I really want to know the narrative behind this or if its some anything goes YOLO type Tik Tok deal or something. Could be a real story wise thing like multiverse, time travel etc or just for the lolz to sell skins or something.

SantaC SantaC I'd proceed with caution bud, not only involved with BFV, the man is the creative officer of BFV...I mean....did you not really look any of this up?


Keep in mind, by bullshit radar was going off when I read (BF3-BF1) as to my understanding, the studio was founded in 2018, by the fucking man who was in charge of BFV and co-founded by the man who was studio head under Battlefront 2...yet...those titles are omitted, its clear they want to have folks reach to this whole "not involved with BFV" or Battlefront 2.... Just fucking stop. You can dislike the direction DICE is going, you can hate the people that started that shit too, but keep that same energy for THOSE SAME FUCKING PEOPLE, that is who is running this new studio and I see no reason to state they are not involved in a game where the guy literally headed that game...

I don't know what you're going on about, I clearly see:

Assault, engineer, medic, support class when I see that picture. Classic Battlefield is back baby!!!

lol could be. I'm not hating on what they are making as I don't really know what it is going to be 100% and even if it really is that i'd be down for it. For all we know its really deeper then what we are initially seeing, but then again it could be some free to play APEX, tik tok, Fortnite, make your own character, Twitch stream, mtx, skins type deal.

I don't know. I don't associate a civilian playing solder, a hipster dressing as a fantasy ranger, a gangbanger and a samurai as battlefield vibes.

The game itself could be great, but I also don't understand that because there might be people who worked on previous titles in the Battlefield franchise that means all future projects are 100% going to be offshoots of said games.

It's clear they're making something totally different and if 2042 was too much of a change from the BF formula for fans of the series I don't see this being the messiah they're hoping for it to be.

BUT I have no doubt that it'll probably be a great game cause the developers are talented so the end product will be solid, but a Battlefiled of days past it will not be.

Watch people do mental gymnastics and say that this is actually exactly what they wanted Battlefield to become simply to not have to admit they were wrong.
 
So no BF2 devs, okay............

Ill throw it out there, i used to be involved heavily in the BF2/SF community back in the day, involved in clans etc. and getting keys for upcoming closed betas e.g. 2142.
The EA community manager said the higher ups/executives couldnt understand the longevity of BF2.

Its obvious how that evolved into no mod tools movibg forward, BC2(which was excellent) and money grabbing from BF3 onwards(no mod support/charged for battlepacks etc.)

For me BF2/SF's was the best online game ever(fight me lol), so i hope this studio can somewhat return to form.

Isn't the head of this studio the former Battlefield V lead who said "If you don't like it, don't buy it"? Not sure what all the excitement is about, it's probably gonna be another clown shooter going by who's leading the studio and by all the rubbish character art they have on their website.

I think this play like Battlefront
3rd person with ability to switch FPS mode for some weapons ? ( or all time )

Also that game with colorful aesthetics is from another title
