All franchises needed to keep up with the times, l’est they become irrelevant in the ever evolving gaming world. As of right now, huge squad based shooters like Battlefield and Call of Duty are being replaced by the booming battle royale genre with games like PUBG and Fornite. EA and Activision are making additions as necessary, and EA especially has confirmed that Battlefield V will...
For what must be the first time in a millennia of annual releases, Battlefield V will not be launching in October in 2018. Instead, developer DICE is opting to push the release date onto Nov. 20 this year, outside of the usual October blockbuster window. DICE General Manager of Developer Oskar Gabrielson states the official blog post announcement that “We’re going to take the time to...
To go forward, you sometimes have to go back. After years of flagging and lagging future-war games, Activision and Electronic Arts spent the last couple years going back into history. EA took the Battlefield series all the way back to the first World War with Battlefield 1. The forward march begins again with the next game in the series. According to GamesBeat, sources close to...
Star Wars Battlefront II doesn’t launch officially for another few days, but if you’re on EA Access, you can already play as much as 10 hours of the game before it sees worldwide release. But that’s not going to be enough time to unlock your favorite Star Wars character. Players have been calculating how long it would take to unlock some of the most iconic Star Wars personalities...
EA is taking every measure to assure fans and shareholders alike that the complaints that dogged the first Battlefront won’t affect the second. In this week’s earnings call, EA said during a Q&A session about Star Wars Battlefront II that the game is “three times the size of the original game at launch.” The answer came in response to a question about DLC or a season pass for the...
Star Wars Battlefront II finally has a campaign, an element sorely lacking from the original. But the multiplayer is still at the core of the experience. The first of the new Battlefront games was fun but just about every review and fan gripe I heard about it could be summed up as saying it “lacked depth.” Our own Joey Davidson’s review included. So the team has some work to do with...
Star Wars Battlefront II is set to play a big role in EA’s presence at E3 2017 in just a couple months, but what we see there won’t be the very first we see of it. The Star Wars community gets together each spring for the annual Star Wars Celebration festival, and that’s where we’ll see the shooter make its first appearance. We’ve known about the sequel for a while now, and EA...
Often times, Conan comes out of one of his Clueless Gamer segments wondering what it is we like about the game he just finished playing. This week, though, he sat down with Battlefield 1 alongside actor, PC builder, and perfect human being Terry Crews, and came away positive. One of Conan’s first comments is that he hasn’t gotten into the playable part of a game so quickly in a long...
Xbox One and PC gamers take note: the gorgeous – if somewhat shallow Star Wars Battlefront is joining EA Access next week, on Tuesday, December 13.

The PlayStation 4 Pro is a full leap and bound more powerful than the PlayStation 4, but it seems like developers are having some difficulty with just how that power is used. The latest example of this is Electronic Arts and DICE’s Battlefield 1. VG247 reports that a patch earlier this week has sent gamers flocking to forums like NeoGAF and Reddit, complaining of two major issues...
