Another dev made a shitty tweet, levelcapgaming seethes about comments saying hes paid to do videos on it. Tomorrow is the day of reckoning because its EAs investors call, so expect a bunch of salt about the game tomorrow from devs or players.

That didn't take long.

It looks like even retailers are getting desperate with trying to move BF2042 copies out.


This video goes to show how badly DICE fucked up the sound in BF2042, compared to amazing sound in previous BF games, including BF3.

:hah: Season 1 delayed until this summer

All this for updates that don't touch the specialist system. Even Battlefront II got scraps of content while reworking its progression.

Either DICE's incompetence knows no bounds, or they just got done getting gutted by EA for failing them for a second time in a row.

At the rate the game's hemorrhaging players thanks to the specialists and bugs, who's still gonna be around to buy those skins?

The game is so fundamentally flawed and disliked that I'm shocked that they're bothering to deliver some barebones seasonal content.
 
Reading Henderson's coverage of the earnings call, it's sounding pretty grim. Thought they were gonna try to sugar coat and damage control it but seems like they're not even trying.

But they're really emphasizing how unimportant BF is overall to them at this point. I really see it on the chopping block if Dice doesn't stop fucking around and get their shit together quick.

So, I guess that means all that boasting of Vince Zampella taking over and making an expanded universe aged about as well as milk.

I can only hope this means that planned hero shooter is dead & buried, it'd be the best thing to happen to the series in years.

Zampella is their last shot, if he can't unfuck the franchise it's probably done.

Also, they put BFV on the slide instead of 2042 :story:

Here are the cosmetics that DICE will be giving to Gold and Ultimate Edition owners of BF2042, as a "not-apology" for the state of the game. The Player Card Icon is a very fitting description of the state of the franchise, fading away due to ineptitude.

And yes we get the obligatory Woody and Bolte skins.

This is what $80-100 gets you. What a rip-off. I would say sorry, but people made the conscious decision to buy it full price.

cheaper than having to refund all those season pass purchases. if you deliver the content you sold those passes on, even if it's utter shit for a dead game, means you won't get sued your ass of.

that was always retarded because you'd need a competent writer for that (lol good luck). ironically that would be the easiest to do, all you'd need is some tom clancy lite with recurring characters (which of course would need to be likable too, but again, good writer...)

knowing EA they'll probably double down and taking all the wrong lessons from 2042 bombing, hero skins are much easier to sell and market. expect the next battlefield be even more like cod with a small ass arena and low playernumbers (to "fix" the map being too big and too many clones running around).

>make shit games
>"no one buying our shit games, no need to invest money"
:story:

the question why the game is shit given all the money spent on development probably never came up, making a good game which sells on that factor alone is too outlandish and complicated apparently.
wasn't battlefield 1 around 20% or something

EA / DICE are so out of touch they probably think if they add more black non binary characters and shame normal players as bigots that future games will sell better.
