As EA kicks off E3 in an explosive way, Battlefield V has not disappointed with the reveal of the games enhanced gameplay systems. EA has confirmed that Battlefield V will be ditching loot box based microtransactions. The biggest announcement of it all? Battle Royale will be coming to Battlefield V.
During EA’s E3 event EA PLAY, the publisher has revealed that ANTHEM, the open world Action-RPG featuring cooperative multiplayer, will be launching in February of 2019 for PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
After the reveal for Battlefield V, EA games has become a victim of fans being unhappy about a female soldier, one that just happens to be disabled and using a prosthetic arm as she fights on the frontlines against German forces during the height of WWII.
With only a couple of weeks left until E3 2018, DICE and publisher Electronic Arts Inc. have revealed the official gameplay trailer for their upcoming title Battlefield V. Let’s take a look at what to expect.
Unless you’ve been digging through an interview on The Verge, you may or may not know what’s going on with EA and Patrick Söderlund, a long-time EA executive who was just promoted to EA’s chief design officer. With his promotion also comes a seat that’s already on fire due to the Star Wars Battlefront II controversy that led into some other EA high-profile titles and even some non-EA titles that have caught the attention of lawmakers around the world due to loot boxes being viewed as a form of gambling.
Anthem is beginning to become one of my most anticipated titles for next year. It’s a game that I’ve begun to cross my fingers in hopes that it could potentially be an answer to rivaling Destiny or The Division. A game that could take loot shooters to an all new level and even put EA onto an even playing ground with both Activision and Ubisoft.
If you’re the Star Wars franchise, you’ve had a really bad week, and it’s only seemingly been getting worse even with the removal of your latest games loot crates. For Electronic Arts, your week really hasn’t been the greatest of weeks, and it may only get worse in the upcoming days. Your latest game is one that has pushed upon the industries most discussed topic: confusing, expensive, and troublesome loot crates.
With all the controversy surrounding Star Wars Battlefront II, EA has been adamantly listening to their highly devoted community, and even plagued by problems surrounding the microtransaction controversy surrounding their game.
Lets be completely honest about this: I love Titanfall 2. So-much-so that I own it on Xbox One and PlayStation 4. To me, it is by far one of the best velocity-focused FPS titles out there and may ever be out there. Respawn drove it home the moment they released Titanfall 2 and displayed an assured fact that they had learned from Titanfall by making it an console exclusive. Let alone did they learn from that, they also learned from the fact it had not a single drop of campaign, and that it didn’t float well with fans.
Known for their outer space sci-fi horror series Dead Space, Visceral Games studio has been one that seemed to have a lot of promise, and potential with the series. They were eventually moved on to work on titles such as Battlefield: Hardline, Dante’s Inferno, and an unreleased Star Wars title, which would be something along the lines as the Uncharted series. However, according to EA’s Vice President Patrick Söderlund, the studio is being closed down.
