A new DICE Battlefield for Holiday 2016, Titanfall 2 and Mass Effect 4 by March 2017

Will it not be rushed out the door, is the question EA. Also stop releasing a "Battlefield" every other year. BF4's support is great. But it's only being done because you're wanting to do a goodwill tour and hope people will forget the state that (and a few other titles of yours) launched in.

Titanfall 2 will be so damn good.

Mass Effect will come Q1 just like 2 and 3. They won't make it in time for the holidays.
It's okay though. It's better this way.

I'll believe it when I see it

Damn. I was hoping for a perfect game-triangle year with Dishonored 2, Deus Ex and Mass Effect. Sequels/reboot of three of my favorite franchise/games last gen.
Anyway, I hope Battlefield is not rushed, and it feels like a proper new game instead of a reskin. BF4 is so damn good.

You don't need to grind for attachments if you find a gun you like. I'll admit DICE needs to "walk it back" in regards to the amount of unlocks. But the attachment "grind" isn't as bad as people make it out to be since most people stick with 1-5 guns they like and generally will get all the attachments for that.
If anything though, DICE needs to jettison the Battlepacks. Utter bullshit and now that I'm P40 the goddamn things STILL GIVE ME 2XP DESPITE BEING CAPPED.
Why not help me fill out my attachment grind? Apparently Hardflop fixed this, but no one plays Hardflop because it isn't a DICE game.
Edit: I get you're talking about Titanflop but I still want to mention BF in that as well.

Considering how stable Battlefront's launch was and that they will only be working on three platforms I will actually be surprised if it doesn't have a good launch.

Well, I had an absolute blast with first. Hopefully, they add campaign and really seal the deal.

This has some truth to it concerning consoles and the mainstream audiences. On the PC side of things, they don't mind but for console players they do because they have little to no choices for WWI-II mp shooters on consoles.
Being a console gamer myself, I wouldn't mind a WWI-II era shooter from DICE since I wasn't able to join in on the fun mp-wise. But I do know that I would get bored fairly quickly because their won't be much to unlock and do besides capping objs and getting kills. Sure the atmosphere will be awesome thanks to the Frostbite Engine but that wears off quickly in a console mp shooter imo.
I would like to see how DICE can make a WWI-II shooter relevant again and filled with content besides maps.

I liked the BF 3 and 4 campaign. I always prefer have one that nothing at all.

I'd prefer bot matches on the MP maps over a half baked campaign that takes resources away from the multiplayer.

I enjoyed both BF 3 and 4 campaigns. Not the best, but definitely would want a campaign of some sorts.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
Im unapologetically a fan of BF4's campaign. Would be happy for another.
I love BF4 a whole, really. But it's the little bits and pieces that I feel drag it down. The unlock system is garbage. Ballistics still feel bad to me. Maps are real hit and miss.

Typically, I'd say I'm fine with bot matches. But Battlefront's lack of traditional campaign and the offered singleplayer "experience" reminded me how much I do love a structured narrative of some kind.
BF4's campaign was great! 3 was enjoyable, but yeah I definitely had a blast with 4

uuggh, bummed about ME moving back into 2017.
I guess it's Star Ocean 5, Persona 5 and Final Fantasy XV this year then. Still not a bad year for RPGs considering the alternatives...

Yeah, still huge. I'm personally really looking forward to FFXV and SO5. I might pick up P5, too.
Andromeda in March 2017 suits me fine. Tis my favorite series alongside Final Fantasy and I was sort of dreading how to come up with the time needed to play both it and FFXV this holiday season, heh.

I'm definitely there for Titanfall 2. Loved the original and I'm very interested to see what Respawn has cooked up with the additional development time for the sequel.

Welp. EA's got me.
In for Mass Effect: Andromeda, Mirror's Edge: Catalyst, Battlefield 5, and Titanfall 2.

Battlefront is a half baked MP with no campaign.... so.. is worse.

The actual gameplay and design? Or just the tech? Because those campaigns are terribly designed relatively speaking and not to mention still glitchy.

Just hope they don't go the MW2 route with TF2.

Or Battlefield is november, Mass Effect is August and Titanfall is February.

That sure worked well for Battlefront! Not having a campaign doesn't mean that devs will have more resources for multiplayer. It usually means that the publisher will just reduce the budget for the game. Just look at Battlefield 4 and compare it to Battlefront.

Better be BF 2143!!!!
It's been three years. There aren't many shooters with a longer development cycle.

3 years, the Absolutely stunning iteration of the frostbite engine.
After BFront, I have high hopes of how technically proficient the next BF is going to be.
Tal Shiar Agent

Yeah, I mean look at the sorry, broken state Battlefield 4 launched in and wasn't playable until 4 to 5 months after launch compared to the flawless launch of Battlefront.Gemüsepizza;193652039 said:
With Battlefront they planned around their strict timetable rather than trying to stuff it full and ending up with a broken product. As much as I would have liked for Battlefront to have launched either more large maps, they are making up for it with free content.
I'd rather a game be playable at launch with more free content coming later than be unplayable at launch with a lot of content that can't even be used until later.
DICE had to build a brand new asset library and modify Frostbite for the game, that takes up a lot of time. The next Battlefront will likely be much more expansive, like how SWBF2 was compared to SWBF1.

I'm genuinely excited for this. As someone who's played through that game in and out, I haven't come across a shooter that's as good as Titanfall this generation.
Having both the consoles, got this one at launch for X1. I'm happy that the PS4 players will have access to this brilliant game next year and hopefully they will include a single player. I'm interested in how they would bring the story line together in the sequel.
Regardless, I'll pick it up day one, console of purchase would be based on the performance.

Was hoping Titanfall 2 would come out this year, but with Battlefield getting the holiday spot I bet Titanfall gets the Garden Warfare spot next year.

You realise that there is a new Mirrors Edge and that it's out not too long from now right?
LordOcidax

No at all. is a Fact, BF4 is far more deep than BF. BF is more on the casual side. That you like the game or not, yes thats subjetive.
Only Mass Effect appeals to me, but I am not holding my breath after Dragon Age: Inquisiton, but that just me. I enjoyed Titanfall and Battlefront, but I do not have the time for multiplayer these days.
Mirror's Edge will bomb, as it will get ok reviews, and will be bought by the more hardcore gamer, but it won't appeal to the masses. Then people moan when games companies don't produce new IP's anymore.

Half baked is subjective not a fact as your original statement implied
BF4 is Amazing now, but let's not forget the first 6 months of that product.

Any time.

As for Battlefield 5, they need to simplify it. 4's unlock system is terrible and they still need to fix things like how lock-ons work against vehicles. Seriously, flying in BF4 is like a chore because half the team has EZ-mode lock-on weapons that can tag you from half-way across the map.
Battlefield 4 is too convoluted is what it is.
