Battlefield 1 has a tightrope act to walk The game has to be incredibly respectful to the source of its conflict, while still being entertaining as a AAA FPS video game It's no easy task and DICE have their work cut out. You can get a good look at how you think the developer has done right[...]

There seems to really be a diversity of characters and stories here too, so I hope the campaign evolves a lot.

The Battlefield 1 open beta has been going on for a little bit, and weirdly, it didn't have an end date attached to it That is pretty uncommon for a massive AAA title. It seems that the honeymoon is about to come to a close though DICE have now announced that the game's technical test will[...]

In fact, EA are just a short while away from their press conference now. One of the games we can expect to feature is Battlefield 1, and to tease us, the publisher has revealed this new trailer for the game It's lots of WWI warfare thrown into a highly explosive trailer, and it all looks like[...]

Paramount TV and Anonymous Content have joined together to get the rights to Electronic Arts' video game property Battlefield Since it's debut in 2002, there have been over 60 million players in the expansive land, sea and air war game. This is the first video game franchise for the producing collaboration. Amy Powell, President, Paramount TV said,[...]

Battlefield 1 certainly has a lot of buzz around it It's become one of the most liked trailers on the YouTube (largely in part of Call of Duty negativity), mostly for shaking up the formula and taking us back in time when the 'modern shooter' had started to feel stagnant. Well, we got a nice look[...]

Battlefield 1 will be showcased today at EA's E3 Press Conference The buzz around the game, with the fresh WWI setting is pretty palpable, so fans are gobbling up every little part of the game. So for those fans out there, here is a 'little part' EA have released this tease for the trailer which is[...]

Some people (investors) worried that EA could be cannibalising it's sales by having its two big holiday titles this year be online focused FPS shooters in Battlefield 1 and Titanfall 2 At the very least, you'd imagine that they would come out with some distance between each other. Well, it appears EA aren't worried at all,[...]

In this PDF, another financial report, it shows that Respawn Entertainment's next title is due out in the holiday period of this year. You might be forgiven for thinking it a bold strategy to launch both Battlefield 1 and Titanfall 2 in the same window, but it seems EA aren't that concerned In this transcript of[...]

It's known as one of the most brutal wars of the modern era, and with that comes images of dirt, grime and sadness. Well, it seems that DICE are going to be trying to take Battlefield 1 into other directions Speaking to GamesBeat, Lead designer Daniel Berlin said that the game had a clear goal to differentiate what we[...]

Well, I literally didn't expect any of this. It seems the the next Battlefield has leaked just a smidge early, and it's got a strange name and setting As reported by a leaked retail image on reddit, it seems like the next game is called Battlefield 1, and it looks set in an alternate WWI There[...]

There is a big Battlefield reveal event happening today, which is meant to show off the next mainline game in the franchise The word had been that the series would be making a hard turn into something else, perhaps WWI, so some expected a subtitle to the game. Well, read into this what you will[...]

DICE are about to show off the next Battlefield to the world, with many sitting in anticipation of what to expect There are murmurs about a WWII setting, but we will have to wait and see on that. Here is what is in the here and now To celebrate the impending announcement, EA are offering free[...]

Battlefield has been the source of a lot of speculation of late The most prevalent is that the franchise is going back in time, which will be a good counterpoint to Call of Duty's rumoured Infinite Warfare that could be going to the far future. Well, we will know next week The game is getting announced[...]

One thing that I hear growing each year, is the sentiment that one of the big military shooter franchises should go back to the World War well. It's been

The return of Mass Effect is going to be huge, its shooter bread and butter, Battlefield is set to return and  just a little outside of 2016, Titanfall 2 is looming in the background. It seems all of those might be coming somewhat close to each other too In an investors call last night (via GameInformer),[...]

The Battlefield comparison has dogged Star Wars Battlefront ever since we've seen gameplay footage To a degree, I understand it I think they are fundamentally different games on the outside, but it definitely has that DICE 'feel' all over it. Speaking to OXM (via GamesRadar+),  DICE general manager Patrick Bach says that just re-skinning Battlefield with Star Wars[...]

The complaint I hear most often leveled at DICE's Star Wars: Battlefront reboot is that it's just a Battlefield clone with a Star Wars skin Honestly, that sounds perfectly fine by me, but I understand people are very concerned. Well, DICE's general manager Patrick Bach has tried to reassure those fears in an interview with Official PlayStation[...]

It is almost hard to remember that Battlefield Hardline came out this year That title seemed to just come and go with out much fanfare At least no where near as much as you'd expect out of a Battlefield title. The series is going to have another bite of the apple come 2016 though In a recent[...]

When I played Star Wars: Battlefront, I commented on how much the game felt like Battlefield I wouldn't say that it is a one to one comparison by a long shot, but the roots of developer DICE are hard to deny. It turns out that the developer are hoping to distance themselves even further from their[...]

I'm not sure if these work, but everyone keeps doing them, so I guess there is some kind of logic here. Today it is Battlefield Hardline's turn Again The key stats here are that $901 Billion have been stolen in game, 2 Billion minutes have been played and the cops currently have a slight edge over[...]

The launch of Battlefield Hardline was of great importance to EA After the debacle that was the multiplayer launch of Battlefield 4, the company needed a win in that department. And it got it The game's online was reportedly stable during its launch yesterday, which is good news for the Visceral Games, DICE and EA…at least[...]

Battlefield Hardline is out tomorrow and to celebrate EA have released this live action trailer I can't say I'm overly impressed either. It's clear that they're trying to capture the feeling of one of the game's heist matches, but in 'real life' I'm sure the intention was for this to feel all gritty and intense, but[...]

Battlefield is known for having quite a few Easter eggs hidden within it, from Dinosaur roars to full-bodied Megalodon. Battlefield Hardline has taken the cake though The game is thought to be bringing humour back into the Battlefield franchise and this new easter egg seems to confirm that Hosted by jackfrags, this video shows 'The American Dream',[...]

Battlefield Hardline has really snuck up on me The game is out in just over a week, bringing a cops and robbers concept to Battlefield gameplay. Still, despite creeping up on us, Visceral Games seem to have jumped the gun a little with this 'launch' trailer  These things are usually left for a day or two[...]

One of the more interesting things that we are yet to see too much of is the 'cop show dynamic' in Battlefield Hardline There are going to be 10 episodes to the game's campaign and that will come complete with 'previously ons'. This developer diary shed some light on how that is all going to work[...]

I've been taken aback by the amount of people who played Battlefield Hardline's beta Everywhere I looked, interest in the title seemed cooled, yet it went on to be one of the biggest AAA betas ever. Developer Visceral Games has reconfirmed that 7 million people took part in the beta by putting out this infographic It[...]

Just Sunday, I reported that 5 million players had logged on to test the Battlefield Hardline Beta That number has now been dwarfed, by an updated total. Announced on the game's official Twitter, it turns out 7 million total players turned up to play the cops and robbers Battlefield across all platforms. Thank you to the 7[...]

The buzz around Battlefield Hardline has felt much cooler than you'd expect from a game in the franchise Maybe it was the somewhat disastrous launch of Battlefield 4 or the fact that Hardline is a new spin off for the series From my temperature checks previously though, the game just hasn't felt like it has[...]

The Battlefield Hardline beta is online right now Sadly, I haven't found the time to play it yet so I can't give any impressions, but it's out there until tomorrow so go dive in yourself if you want to see what it's about. Kotaku have correlated something a little strange though It doesn't happen often, but every[...]
