Lasgana: BF4

Lasgana: Coming October 23rd, 2013

Lasgana: 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: bf4 will use 80% of power of frostbite 2, wheras bf3 only 30-40%

Dude, BF4 probably has a 2yr cycle as EA releases Moh one year, BF the next and so on. Agreed some of the DICE team is involved in developing DLCs in the meantime, but I'm sure a 2 year dev cycle is about right.

I think its doable. Just ditch the campaign entirely. It was terrible and a waste of development resources.

 

Problem is that they are still aiming for PS360 instead of going Next gen + PC only. Which means maps are gonna suffer again because they have to make them in such a way that they work for 24-64 players.

it's going to be battlefield 3.1

 

i'm sure they can manage that in 1 year.

 

i especially liked this part

 

Lasgana: auto login, need internet all time, support cloud saves

 

if this is true, i'm going to laugh at the millions of hypocrites who buy this game.

well since you haven't played the MOHw as of yet so it is of no use to tell you how addicting it is. Anyways go and play your gears 3 till hello 4 comes out :)

 

Please.. what makes you think I haven't played it? The only good thing about the game is not even made by the primary devs laughing.gif
