I did read it but I'm interested in how the analyst views this information. It sounds more like waiting on the fence to see how it pans out and THEN say "Oh, see how smart I am, I called it" or "well it was only my two cents, no need to read anything into it".Dr Jones said:
Analysts Suspects EA Will Start Annual Battlefield Releases
- Thread starter Logan Westbrook
- Start date
Listen EA, you've made mistakes, but I honestly think you belong in your spot as one of the best publishers, don't fuck this up.
Do what Activision didn't, and learn from Guitar Hero, they WILL burn out Call of Duty, and when people start to get sick of it you can have bi/tri-yearly quality releases for them to turn to.
Don't follow Activision
The ones that matter are Bad Company, Bad Company 2, and Battlefield 2.Tiswas said:
We are talking about core entries here, Think about how many Final Fantasy spinoffs pop out a year, we sure as hell don't say "Final Fantasy has a 4 month release schedule"
It's not going to start to die down until Nintendo gets their shit together, in my opinionEd130 said:
For all the things that are holy, not Battlefield. You've already screwed up BioWare[footnote]Speculations, speculations, speculations[/footnote], please do not do the same with the Dice.

No. Hearing Battlefield 3 getting released was aweosme news. Hearing that 4 will probably be out next year would be laaaaame.
I like how they ***** and moan about how much it costs and how hard it is to make AAA titles, and then they manage to crank them out with a boatload of dlc that finishes just a few months before they release the next one.
I think these next gen "cookie cutter" games Should come out at a reduced price point, I mean it isn't an new IP, its just copy paste new levels on old engines, with some new things. I mean sure A game could be made every 4 years with 4 times the content across the boards, but why do that when you could release things that play it safe and are boring.

What's the difference between the "Battlefield" series and the "Bad Company" series anyway? Is it just the story?danpascooch said:
This. The battlefield series really doesn't lend itself to yearly releases; it's a multiplayer focused experience in which each game has a lot of staying power, unlike the bite sized experience CoD brings both on and offline. They'd have to completely change the formula of the game to even make people interested in upgrading every year, let alone to get them to buy it in numbers comparable to CoD. I'd say this is an analyst doing what analysts do, which is explained by the following comic:Soveru said:

Son i am disappointed that you forgot the best Battlefield game ever that is the Original...
Edit: some would argue BF2 was but did it let you sink ships in a Submarine? or fire 16" guns from a Battleship? or have player operated Artillery? no.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Don't you do it, EA! The Battlefield games have always had a healthy amount of staying power, and trying to gut the previous game's community by making annual releases is a dick move. Then again, this is just some guys opinion, so I'm taking it with a grain of salt.

I'd rather they released the game and focused on expansions after that. Last thing I want to see is a new shooter to replace the yearly cycle of Call of Duty games.
The Battlefield games have no real story, they just portray scenes from a war. They are also more focused on large scale and vehicles.Andronicus said:
Bad Company is Battlefield meets Call of Duty (in terms of gameplay). It has a story mode and it has maps with mixed large and small scale battles (spread out desert maps vs smaller rural maps)
