curious: how did battlefield 3 sell compared to bad company 2?
that might explain why this isn't bad company 3 according to those old rumors (that I can't dig up at the moment) commander mode will turn. if true, I'm expecting a "better with kinect" bit at E3.
EA just released their financial earnings report, where they revealed that Battlefield 3 has shipped 15 million copies, making it the best selling Battlefield title to date. That’s a good $900 million at the box office, not counting in DLC sales and sales of online passes for used games. EA expects Battlefield 3 sales to reach 18 million by the end of the fiscal year, which ends on March 31, 2013.

Lasgana: BF4Lasgana: Coming October 23rd, 2013Lasgana: development just started, expected to be done in 1 yr [Nirolak's Note: Since this is the one likely to elicit the most "this is fake" notes, I feel I should elaborate. Given some later points (like already have an internal demo), this seems to refer to EA's normal two year development cycle of a one year pre-production cycle with ~30-40 people and then ballooning up to 150-300 people to make the game after most things are prototyped and planned out. Visceral, BioWare, and a fair number of publishers outside EA also operate this way since it allows you to have multiple projects without cyclical layoffs due to scaling down in pre-production and scaling up in production. For example, during the downtime between Bad Company 2 and Battlefield 3, DICE's spare staff worked on making Medal of Honor's multiplayer and helping to build Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit. As to what the bulk of DICE's staff worked on prior to this going into production, it's probably either a second project or, once again, other EA games.]Lasgana: will be on pc, ps3, xbox360 and next gen consolesLasgana: will be one of the first games for next gen consolesLasgana: commander system comes backLasgana: profile can be linked with other devices like ipadLasgana: auto login, need internet all time, support cloud savesLasgana: easier to pickup the game, to take care of players from CoDLasgana: support body and voice control for this commander systemLasgana: better battlelog integration and better stats reportingLasgana: supports video playback and sharingLasgana: have gem store for dlc and other stuff like thatLasgana: 3 factions: russia, usa and chinaLasgana: can deploy female solidersLasgana: frostbite 2.0 engineLasgana: pc, ps4 and xbox 720 supports 64 player mapsLasgana: 360 and ps3 will be lessLasgana: pc, ps4 and 720 will provide 60 fpsLasgana: already have a demo video internally within EA,Lasgana: matching the quality of BF3 alreadyLasgana: bf4 will use 80% of power of frostbite 2, wheras bf3 only 30-40%Lasgana: modern backgroundLasgana: i mean story background
How long until they shut down the BF3 servers? I mean this is EA we're talking about here.

Battlefield 4 is our most human, dramatic, and believable game yet... first single-player game play reveal going live in just a few more hours!
DICE Reveals Next Generation of Battlefield --; New Benchmark in Game Design, Multiplayer EngagementBattlefield 4 to Deliver Human, Dramatic and Believable Action, Powered by Best-in-Class Frostbite 3 TechnologyREDWOOD CITY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Only in Battlefield™ can players go through a building instead of around it or eject from a jet and take out the enemy mid-free fall. Those incredible gameplay moments that blur the line between game and glory can only be created by players, and occur only in Battlefield. DICE, a studio of Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: EA), today announced Battlefield 4™, a genre-defining action blockbuster launching in Fall 2013. Powered by the advanced technology of DICE's proprietary Frostbite™ 3 engine, Battlefield 4 offers players a glimpse into the future of interactive entertainment — a future that is more human, dramatic and believable than anything before it. With more than 65 million players worldwide, the Battlefield series has consistently been praised by critics for its world-class multiplayer gameplay, and is recognized as the only game that allows players to own land, sea and air.Battlefield 4 is a seminal moment for the Battlefield series as more award-winning, multiplayer game design elements are incorporated into the single-player campaign. In single-player, gamers will experience huge environments, a playground of destruction, access to an arsenal of vehicles and the ability to direct squad mates. Taking a page from the social aspect of multiplayer gaming, the single-player mode will now track players' progress, adding an element of persistence and friendly competition to the campaign.The game made its world debut today with a staggering 17-minute gameplay demo, available for view at Battlefield.com. The demo begins as the player — Recker — opens his eyes to discover that he is trapped in a rapidly sinking car with three of his squad mates. Shooting the window is the only way out. Panic and fear are pushed aside as Recker makes a difficult decision — take the shot and recover the intel but risk that not everyone will survive. The emotional demo features a cast of characters unrivaled in interactive entertainment. Players will learn how to work together in both the Campaign and Multiplayer, issuing squad orders and comparing achievements in both experiences. Adventure and Competition will unfold through a series of beautifully crafted locations constructed with some of the best art and sound design in modern shooters. All of this is only possible with Frostbite 3 — a new standard for interactive entertainment in 2013."We are so humbled and proud to debut Battlefield 4 on a global stage with simultaneous events in San Francisco and Stockholm. To be this early in development, and to already be so polished is a huge achievement for the DICE team and reflection of their passion and commitment to driving the franchise forward. Today's demo was just the beginning -- we have so much more in store," said Patrick Soderlund, Executive Vice President, EA Games Label. "It is thrilling to witness peoples' reaction when seeing the game for the first time. It really makes you realize that we are at the beginning of a whole new era for gaming. As artists and craftspeople, we are focused on creating a dynamic, open design that brings people together with amazing, surprising unscripted moments that they'll talk about for days. That's the beauty of Battlefield."By pre-ordering Battlefield 4 at any participating retail outlet, gamers will receive a Premium expansion pack at no additional cost*. DICE also announced today Battlefield 4 Digital Deluxe, an Origin™ exclusive special edition that includes the base game and bonus in-game digital items. Players that pre-order Battlefield 4 Digital Deluxe* on Origin will also receive the Premium expansion pack as well as access to the exclusive Battlefield 4 multiplayer beta.To view the first Battlefield 4 single player gameplay footage, please visit www.battlefield.com.

Are all of their articles so horribly written?

Nintendo has never depended on EA for support. If they did, Nintendo would have went bankrupt a decade ago.There are plenty of other third party developers who produce much better games to look forward to on the Wii U. I personally have never bought a Battlefield game and had no plans to get this one.People don't buy Nintendo products to play generic shooters. Thats what Sony and MS are for.
Some of these comments remind me of two years ago when the 3DS was struggling.
Really annoying. Third parties say there isn't a market for these kind of games on Nintendo systems, but they don't even release enough of their games to form any kind of market. I know it may be a shocker to some of these guys, but maybe your first couple games won't sell a ton, but if you show consistent effort, you will probably benefit. It's a video game console. People like video games. If your games sell well on 360 and PS3, they'll probably sell well on the Wii U if you actually show consistency and effort. At a certain point, Nintendo is definitely to blame for not convincing third parties enough, but this is getting ridiculous. I don't even own a Wii U (yet), but this is crazy.Even when Wii was the best selling console, some of these guys couldn't be bothered to make games for the system. It's like they are scared of money or incredibly shortsighted.
there's no denial here.i don't want EA's support. I couldn't care less about some generic FPS.
Yup NBA Jam sold best on Wii but HD systems got the 2nd NBA JamThe Sims 3 sold best on WiiTiger Woods sold best on Wii but now no WiiU Tiger Woods EA is full of crap
It's kinda funny. Nintendo should just say fuck you to all these 3rd parties and not allowing any of their games on the Wii u. That'd be some classic shit.
bf4 on a nintendo console doesn't seem right, anyways. Just as blops2 didnt.Nintendo software is some of the best in the world. The reason why people buy a nintendo console. Nintendo is unique, not just an hd twin.
What the hell. To me it seems like all the 3rd Parties got paid by Sony and Microsoft to skip the Wii U. They want to destroooooy it.
EA is going to dig their grave after so many bad moves they made recently...
Good, means less Origin shit in my consoles.Also, oh no, we won't get some podunk military shooter. Let me fish my pockets for the not fucks I give for that.
Oh no ! How sad ! Another bad EA game won't be on Wii U !
That sounded more like "we are not speaking to Nintendo because they stole our boyfriends!". Either that, or they can "spread too thin" because most of their people is busy listening to music to license and put into the game (maybe even by doing sleep-overs).Seriously, EA is acting like a child which was denied a candy, and now is pouting in the back of the classroom, not speaking to the teacher anymore.But this is "Generic FPS: The Sequel: The cinematic experience: Now with water, and boats!". How hard can be sell that on any system? Unless, of course, that public is already fixed with the "my-graphix-are-bigger-than-yours" consoles.
