    Demize says...



    Dunno what he was on about the BC2 balance... but hopefully this bodes well for us and I say hopefully very much with the fact that our hope is simply that, hope.

    actions speak louder than words. DICE has said a lot of things in the past and ended up not staying true to their words... (e.g. 1943 PC)

      PC and Console Battlefield players want similar gameplay: Epic sprawling Battlefields, and also tight infantry fights. Balanced weapons and land/sea/air vehicles with a rock-paper-scissors emphasis. Squad and teamplay, where no one player can be a do-it-all super soldier, and communications systems to support teamplay. And a deep and rewarding system of progression with deep and varied gameplay that keeps you wanting to go 1 more round. Everyone also wants it to be easy to play with their friends.
      Thats what PC players want, but the impression I get is that console players (and the majority of PC players) want Team Deathmatch.

        it's more like they can't even if they wanted to... well at least not the same way the PC battlefield gamers want to. their x1800 and 7800gt based consoles are holding PC games back.

            Uhh I don't think so, we haven't even heard an inkling about something replacing the 360 and the PS3.

              With the Move and Kinect being the next gimmick, I doubt either console will be replaced or improved any time soon. They want to be more like the Wii, not more like high-end PCs.

                Exactly, because the Wii sells like crazy.

                  Microsoft and Sony have put far too much money into Kinect and Move for them to fail, if they do, the game industry may see some cutbacks in the AAA industry (source: Extra credits on the escapist)

                  This may be good for us, that means we may be the only platform for a while that is advancing at all.

                    Since those wii wannabes are add-ons, they could technically be add-ons for the nextgen consoles as well. Probably even act better.

                    I think I read some articles a while back though that said Microsoft and Sony claim the current consoles have not reached their full potential and were pushing back the next consoles. I dont keep up on consoles anymore, so I could be wrong on that.

                      Even with all this elaborate text, Demize has failed to actually understand what sets a PC and a console apart and what is it that PC players appreciate. I got the impression that he was talking about hard to please elitists, which is not the case at all. And amusingly, when he mentioned what BF stood for, BC2 doesnt fit into that category at all.

                      So. Actions speak louder than words.

                      From Twitter to that post in question, Demize sees DICE-s pillar stone as whiny kids who cant be pleased. God help my hobby, because at this point, noone else can. And Im an atheist,

                          after some of the **** changes he has been responsible for in BC2, I am worried that he is giving BF3 extra attention lol

                          I will listen to him when he undoes stuff like the AT4, M16 and G3 nerfs etc

                              All three of them want to be the next new big thing; you miss out on keeping up and you die. The wii took advantage of pricing, children, families and banked on other massively large "cultish" titles but I wouldn't be suprised if nintendo isn't the next to up the ante.

                              Nintendo has been going through an R&D pump ever since they banked off the wii. Look at what they came up with for the wii now take that team and pump it full of hundreds of millions.
