Feathered_IV Posted June 5, 2018 Posted June 5, 2018 I guess the truth of the matter is, rather than being some giant, heinous, eco-friendly conspiracy aimed at achieving unity, equality and broad sunlit uplands™ for one and all; It is in fact Dice going, Hey... that PubG and Fortnite thing is really raking in the bucks.

Lusekofte Posted June 10, 2018 Posted June 10, 2018 Well I change my mind , The city I was born in is one of the maps. That is enough for me to pardon the inaccuracy .
Leaf Posted June 10, 2018 Posted June 10, 2018 Not sure what I find more irritating, SWJ's themselves or the people who keep complaining about them. Both are niche groups who love shouting about how right they are, throwing any sense of nuance or careful judgement out of the window. Regarding Battlefield V, the reveal trailer was a mess, both cinematically and thematically. I suppose they wanted to show off the diversity of multiplayer or co-op gameplay -- not sure which. I'm totally fine with female characters in multiplayer, as Battlefield V has so many historical inaccuracies now that, frankly, female soldiers don't stand out too much. Face paint and customisation? That's where things just get ridiculous. It looks like Battlefield Heroes with better graphics. That's fine in principle, but for god sake don't market it as authentic. The latest trailer was a lot better, but I'm still not convinced and will probably not buy it. Battlefield Bad Company 2 was the pinnacle in my opinion, followed by Battlefield 3. Battlefield 4 had awful maps and was way too bloated (do I want a single laser sight, or triple laser sight? Do I want it in red or green? etc.). Battlefield V seems to follow in the footsteps of Battlefield 1, which in my opinion was just another step backwards (I mean, how many automatic weapons were there really in the trenches?) I think the reaction to women in Battlefield has been extremely exaggerated, but DICE should have managed their reveal a lot better, and just went too far in the name of "freedom" and "player choice". More choice isn't always better, and I think the facepaint in Battlefield V illustrates that quite well.
Wolf8312 Posted June 10, 2018 Posted June 10, 2018 To be honest I just find that whole kind of MP shooter gameplay boring and repetitive. Were it a serious WW2 game I probably would demand historical accuracy but it's just a silly game designed for a mainstream audience. Therefore I think its only correct that a mainstream audience is fully represented. 2
Lusekofte Posted June 10, 2018 Posted June 10, 2018 I treat all games the same, also this. I might buy it just to see if Narvik map is accurate. I think Dice knows what their targeted marked want and give them that, and try to make it interesting for them in the long run. Like Great Battles series, it suit me less than I hoped for, but I acknowledge the fact that most people want it this way

Why cant more devs make games like that while taking advantage of all the advances in technology? That said I'm not down on the game industry. I'm actually spoiled for choice, and do think its better than it ever was when I was a kid, and know that as far as games go there has never been a better time to be a kid! People of my generation really romanticize the 90's as a gaming golden age but while there were some great games there was also just as much junk. And more, and more, thanks to indy developers I think serious gamers are shunning dumbed down console/PC games made for the mainstream and turning to the indy devs who value innovation and creativity while also respecting the fact that games need to present a challenge. My biggest gripe with mainstream modern titles such as GTA 5 is with how pathetically easy they are, and how you cant actually die with no limitation on the number of lives a player is given. But games like battlefield are dead and buried as far as I'm concerned not beacuse they are too simple but because they are tedious and unrealistic with death being so constant that such games create no tension or fear of death. I think PUBG is fantastic for this reason, also really enjoying one called Hunt: showdown. Incredible atmosphere and graphics that are actually outdone by the sound in the game which is really just fantastic and chilling. Other games such as factorio are genuis, and well we now have flightsims in VR. So it's by no means doom and gloom just avoid the mainstream like a plague..

The” agenda” has certainly and completely now ruined the Battlefield series of games. The official trailer is an abhorrent mess. We have blue face painted “Soldiers” with teddy bears, Katana’s and Cricket bats as part of their accoutrement. It’s also hard not to notice Cyber-Woman leading this rag tag band of Mad Max extras into the fray. History has been dropped because it’s clearly too problematic in this modern age. It’s the “Current year” and we now have game developers producing absolute garbage like this. It’s insulting to those veterans who fought and died in that war. One can only hope that this utterly fail. It won't fail. Yes, that initial trailer is complete and utter garbage. So completely awful that it deserves all the down-votes in the world. How they could go from this to that is beyond me. Is it cringey? Yes. Is it abhorrent? Yes. Does it make the game look like a cartoonish mess coupled with Fortnite? Yes. Will it stop people from buying it? No, no it won't. Now, does the gameplay look fun? It actually kinda does.

GreenSocialist Posted June 13, 2018 Posted June 13, 2018 Unrealistic game-play aside, Battlefield V does have rather pretty graphics (if you turned the HUD off). I wonder if there aren't some technical techniques in there that could elevate the look of IL-2. IL-2 is pretty, but it's mostly the cockpits that have detail. I watched some pilot footage from BF, and it looked 10 times more detailed. I know IL-2 is doing a lot more simulation in the background, but that's done by the main processor, not the graphics card. With level streaming techniques and a little tessellation displacement, wouldn't it be possible to get better looking bases, towns and mountains in IL-2?
Ehret Posted June 13, 2018 Posted June 13, 2018 (edited) The map in the video demonstration is... TINY. No - you don't want anything like that in the IL2 series. Notice how cockpits in the video have conveniently reduced brightness, too. Edited June 13, 2018 by Ehret
Field-Ops Posted June 13, 2018 Posted June 13, 2018 The one thing I would like IL-2 to pick up on is the BF5 snow particle effects. Dont know how the rain will look in BF5 but that snow is top notch.
InProgress Posted June 13, 2018 Posted June 13, 2018 Gameplay looks really cool, graphic is amazing but still too bright for me, still would not touch anything EA makes with 2m long stick. Game will get some dumb dlc or whatever they will make to drain money from people and gun and run games aren't my thing anyway. Insrugency sandstorm is what i am waiting for :] 2
6./ZG26_Custard Posted June 13, 2018 Author Posted June 13, 2018 Not to leave out the mighty clash of arms between Sparta and Athens, Ubisoft presents...... "Assassin's Creed Odyssey" Whisking you back to 431, BC to the Peloponnesian War. The ubisoft team have always prided themselves on the historical accuracy of their games and have spared no expense by employed a team of ancient history experts, to ensure that it will be the most accurate depiction of the clash of the mighty city-states of ancient Greece ever seen in a video game...... ..........No
Tektolnes Posted June 13, 2018 Posted June 13, 2018 A) It's just a game. B) You can play as a man or a woman and beyond that there's no real impact. C) Women like to play games with female protagonists and don't always like to play as a guy so more $ for Ubisoft if they can tap into a wider market. Really don't see an issue. It's not a historical simulator - if it was a single sword slash could end your character and you wouldn't be able to kill several hundred people over the course of the game.
6./ZG26_5tuka Posted June 13, 2018 Posted June 13, 2018 (edited) Games have grown above their purely entertainment purpose over the last decade. Their artistic and educational values have catched up, in some cases even overtaken gameplay (a good example is any serious flight sim). Now Battlefield has taken the step of depiticng a historical setting because they know it targets a large audience of historically interested players but droped the concept of creating authentic characters, maps, missions to better reflect the theme chosen. With other words, it has absolutely 0 historical value because of the huge mess it is. For someone who knows hes not buying a true WW2 title this may not seem to be an issue but for the others (including old Bf1942 veterans) this is a major concern. Thankfully there are alternatives.

AndyJWest Posted June 13, 2018 Posted June 13, 2018 Why use a historical setting to create "fantasy"? Because people (authors, playwrights etc, etc...) have been doing this for hundreds of years, and it works. Next question. 1
Tektolnes Posted June 13, 2018 Posted June 13, 2018 It's a lot easier to put together a world somewhat loosely based on history than it is to come up with a complete fantasy world. It's a single player game and this really has zero impact on anything other than the amount of interest / enjoyment a section of the demographic can get out of the game. Games like this need to sell in large amounts to justify their existence so hitting a broader market makes sense financially. And it makes a game more appealing to women so that's good for them too. There's really no downside at all except that it seems to annoy certain sections of men who are unhappy that their so-called "historical" game that allows them to kill hundreds of people has a completely optional setting to play as a woman. Not really sure that's a downside though.

Female empowerment in nothing new, and I can think of many female heroes that would make for interesting games, some have already been made. 1920's ? Probably the best example of a female hero, and she started why back in 1979. 1991 1993 2011 2017 The "current year"
Tektolnes Posted June 13, 2018 Posted June 13, 2018 Just so I understand your general point. Are you saying that entertainment games that are set in a specific point of history must adhere to historical fact in all significant aspects or does this train of thought only apply to certain aspects such as the role of women in these games?
AndyJWest Posted June 13, 2018 Posted June 13, 2018 OMG! A woman with dyed hair and glasses! And she isn't smiling!! Obviously plotting to corrupt the poor innocent youth of today by forcing them to play video games where they can kill people without possessing male dangly bits!!!! Someone should call in the thought police!!!!! Or maybe Custard needs to accept that game developers are selling games in the 21st century, and not a fantasy middle-class all-male minority-free 1950's. 1 1 2
