    They should make DX12/Vulkan the default rendering pathway for the next BF game. Time to ditch DX11 for good!

    Yeah.....it's going to take quite a game to bring back the core BF fans.

    Frostbite 3.5 is already optimized for DX12 and probably performs a bit better than the DX11 path from my experience with the latest updates, but the underlying engine is still DX11 at its foundation. Until they redesign the engine totally for DX12/Vulkan, then we'll never see the full performance benefits of DX12 with the Frostbite engine. The first step to doing that is to totally remove DX11 code from the engine, in a similar move to what Id did with IdTech 7 in Doom Eternal when they removed all OpenGL code.

    Used to be a Day 1 purchase. Now I can't even be bothered to investigate what BF6 is.

    I'm going to make a guess and say the next Battlefield game will not be Battlefield 6.

    Also no where in the ign article does it say Battlefield 6, really not sure why this thread was created.

    The article says next battlefield. The magazine says battlefield 6. period.
    If it won’t be bf6 then I’m gonna rename it. So far, you can discus it here. Really bad thread.... if you look at other..
    Would you feel different if the title says “Battlefield (2021)”?

    Everything after BF4 (and even a lot in BF4) maps were absolute garbage. Unless they can create something interesting, I'm not too keen on buying it. I'd also expect more changes to the core game modes. I mean conquest is fun and all, but we've been playing it for almost 20 years now. Personally I loved titan mod in BF 2142 and would absolutely love the return and I loved the setting too.

    It stuns me that Cod is the game thats dishing out loads of new stuff and constantly updating, While the Battlefield name just seems to be dying off.


    How does one frack up Battlefield exactly

    Preach at the players.

    Tell the players if they don't want it don't buy it.

    Try to turn it into a Fortnite style "Live Service".

    Don't give the players what they want.

    Walk away when it fails to do the numbers some suit expected.

    I have absolutely no confidence in their ability to turn this franchise over anymore, especially when you see pivotal talents who jumped ship to other studios like Epic Games. (EA have an advanced R&D division named SEED which has been drained of its talent by other studios)

    Going WW2 after WW1 was clearly the decisive proof that this franchise isn't driven by game makers anymore, but out of touch business executives who after the success of the WW1 game saw an opportunity to make more money from the time period. I do'nt know what metric they've used to take this decision but it was awfully bad.

    How can you pretend to work in the entertainement industry if you underestimate the elemnt of surprise by such a margin.

    Well bf1 was a definite winner and i remember how great the game ran and was beautiful to look at, i would say that frostbite version was a jump since 2011s bf3, and then bf5 came and the gameplay and graphics felt like it was bf1.5 but in ww2...shame

    I don't know what to say, whatever they do will only be watched after the game's out. I don't care about it anymore tbh, they simply lost my trust to present me a game I'd want to play.
