is it supposed to be an alternate WW2 or something?

It looks like some sort of graphic, steampunk style fortnite game.

Yes..... i really hope it isn't

I watched the live reveal on youtube, though sadly when it came to the trailer it started buffering and got jerky, dunno if that was on my end or theirs. Looked predictably lush, but then BF1 is one of the most graphically stunning games ive played so i'd expect nothing less. Rather worried about the customisation options of the clothing and bright blue facepaint etc (WTF?!) as I think that could detract from the realism of WW2 (unless your regular soldier was allowed to modify his uniform?)
No premium pass or extra paid-for expansion packs... I wonder if the main game will be £100 instead? Not that I mind that much either way - the BF series are the only games I actually buy because they are the only ones I play online, so £-per-hour I definitely get good value.

Overall though, looking forward to it. Wonder if the (PC) hardware requirements will be significantly more than BF1?

BF1 has been updated with some "Road to Battlefield V" unlocks, matchmaking is broken though


You can already pre-order V on PC and XBox, no PS4 option currently.

There seems to be two versions, standard & deluxe, xbox deluxe is £79.99.

I’m in.

I think the woman’s metal arm gave it an odd steampunk feel but the arm was the only odd thing in the clip as far as I can see.

Looking forwards to some more in game action. Looks more battlefield 1 than 4 though at the moment.

In the YouTube comments:

Bf5=Can I copy your homework
Bf1=Ok, but change a little bit so doesnt look obvious?

There’s a British soldier jumping out of a building with a katana on his back.

Hopefully the gameplay will be a bit more toned down.

I was hoping for a more skill focused battlefield, like 2/3/4 but not made more casual like 1.

I guess I'm going to have to wait for the beta to make my mind up and watch a lot of videos.

I can pick out some things I like from the trailer but also things I don't. Removing premium is a bonus but eventually, I think the cosmetic changes will have a purchase option (well it is EA). And I have to agree I thought it was a bit fortnite-ish with the character changes.

EA play is in June, we'll see more then.

The pilot surviving the crash looks interesting, as does the looking in all directions when prone (but will likely result in lots of people dropping to the floor).

It all feels a bit silly though, looking at the trailer.

Looks a bit like a late last gen early current gen game. Although I guess a lots going on. Seems like fun, although I’d prefer it wasn’t WW2 yet again. Vietnam, around 1967 would of been interesting.

That was all single player gameplay, it's unlikely to have free look in multiplayer but we'll see.

The falling over in the blastwave of explosions bothers me. Will it affect everyone or just the enemy team? If it's not everyone it's already unbalanced.

I think the reaction to the arm is completely over the top. Look closely and it's not a modern prosthetic, it's a bit of plastic strapped to her shoulder with 3 fixed spikes on it. It's 100% feasible for time period.

Unfortunately, it's fashionable to beat down and mock games these days so the Internet kiddies have gone crazy with the steampunk and Fortnite memes.


Having said that, it seems very unrealistic :*(

A female on the front lines with long flowing ginger hair? Braveheart war paint? Firing a bloody MG42 with 1 hand?!?!?


Pffffff

You think the graphics look dated? Are you mad?

I LOVE BF1, I hope this is a similar game play. The annoying things like putting a full mag into them yet they kill you with one shot from a hand gun will never change but we can wish lol

Aye, you have to allow certain things for gameplay's sake

[Jasandjules]

I guess once the Beta is out we will know more, after all my main matter is always the online game, because I tend not to bother with the single player....

Pre odered it I like BF1 hopefully they deliver

I’m definitely getting it. Come on it’s battlefield. You can fly aircraft and drive tanks through buildings. It looks fantastic.

TBF I’ve like all the battlefield games, even hardline is a laugh in small doses.
