What DICE Should Have Done For Battlefield 5 A complete disaster overflown with bugs upon its release, the game managed to come up to the surface thanks to continuous post-launch support, eventually growing into one of the best titles in the franchise. DICE has an exemplary case in their very own portfolio: Battlefield 4. However, no matter how bad a video game is, there’s always a chance to improve it.

Ironically, the scarce updates Battlefield V did receive somehow led to a plethora of new technical problems. Moreover, some of the anticipated features never made it to the game, like the notorious 5v5 Competitive mode. DICE had a release schedule for planned additional content and expansions which the company never stuck to, resulting in long intervals between content drops. Starting with a turbulent and controversial release, Battlefield V never managed to live up to players’ expectations and received an unexpectedly early death. It's going to be just as important for Microsoft to find an audience for Quantum Break as it is for Remedy to make it work.ĭid we miss anything? What games do you think have the greatest risk of failure in 2015? Let us know in the comments below.Battlefield V ended up being a failure, and DICE should learn a valuable lesson from the game’s disappointing run to ensure their next title avoids the same fate, because it's likely they won't have the luxury of letting Battlefield’s community down one more time. Although this Xbox One exclusive is being developed by the same lauded team that released the critical smash hit Alan Wake, it's easy to draw comparisons to Quantic Dream games like Heavy Rain and Beyond: Two Souls, both of which received very mixed reactions.Įven if Remedy Entertainment can pull off this bizarre combination of third-person action and live-action television, it still might bomb. It's almost too safe of a bet, but Quantum Break is just too weird to not make this list.
Still, a single exciting portion of what could be an 8-12 hour campaign is not enough to convince me that The Order will be the breakout success that Sony is hoping for. But the Gamescom demo, which I had a chance to play in December, was much more promising. …and until recently, everything I had played seemed to be exactly that. Everything that has been shown looks like an extended interactive cutscene… I believe what has worried most people who are at least tangentially interested in The Order is the linearity of the campaign. Hopefully developer Lionhead Studios has had plenty of time to bring the game up to snuff in the ensuing months.Īs with Battlefield Hardline, my feelings regarding The Order: 1886 have changed significantly since I first played it at E3, but I'm still very curious to see Ready at Dawn's biggest project yet in its final state. I enjoyed what I played of the game at E3, but there didn't seem to be a whole lot of substance. Rather, Legends is an online arena combat game where four Heroes team up to fight against the forces of evil, deployed by a fifth player: the Villain. Fable Legends is not the game that they were waiting for.
BATTLEFIELD 5 FLOP SERIES
I don't think that the expectations for Fable Legends are nearly as high as they are for most of the games on this list, but the Fable series still retains a dedicated group of fans who are still waiting for a proper sequel to the original trilogy, which concluded in 2010.
If players don't latch on to the cops and robbers motif, Hardline is going to struggle to find an audience. The game was delayed into 2015 for the sole purpose of fine-tuning and reworking the multiplayer, but the foundation was already settled.
That said, Hardline will live or die based on the success of its multiplayer. This is a risky move, and one that might scare away some Battlefield fans, but a necessary one to keep the franchise feeling fresh. Hardline takes things one step further than Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, rebuilding the campaign structure from the ground up. The last time I went hands-on with Battlefield Hardline, I came away with a much better feeling about the future of EA's FPS franchise than I expected to.
