Battlefield V Revealed: 1942 Reimagined

[StrayKAT]

No loot boxes and women game characters! This game is up to date! Well done, Dice! All other peculiarities are just that.

I like women characters too. Possibly more often. There's nothing special about that though. It's just a cheap way for developers to get a pat on the back these days. This whole idea that women have been deprived is odd. Just like Kathleen Kennedy marketing Star Wars as suddenly revolutionary for female action characters. As if Ripley and Sarah Connor, every Tarantino movie, the whole history of comics, and thousands of others never existed. It's either stupid or arrogant. And disrespectful to what came before. Same with games. So many iconic females from Samus to Tomb Raider to every fighting game ever made.

In any case, I'll put women aside for a sec. The whole marketing squad looks out of place. It's one thing to take a singular moment (D-Day, where some AMERICAN soldiers got mohawks and put on warpaint as a homage to American Indians), but it's strange to make that the image of WW2... as if that's the sum of things now. It has never been so. If they wanted some artistic flexibility like this, they should've just made a modern war game. People actually have fairly drab expectations of WW2, and it's not a "peculiarity". It comprises just about everything they care about, when they think of that era.

Better yet, just play Hellblade and support a worthwhile game studio... if you want chicks with warpaint. Pick up Heavenly Sword while you're at it. They made two badass chick games.

I guess you missed the bit where "live services" will be introduced a couple months after the game drops.

Victory? You're going to make Hitler cry more.

Yes Victory, it was apart of the BF1 Easter egg https://screenrant.com/battlefield-5-v-victory-loot-boxes/

There is definitely a right and a wrong way to be inclusive. New IP is generally better than "re-imagining" history.

The sad reality is many people are going to with a very skewed perception of WW2 (and history in general) because of trends like this.

Lol. As long as there is NO ZOMBIES, I am fine with this game

NO ZOMBIES

They must have zombie character customization items ready and hidden somewhere in the loot boxes for $4.99 ... possibly with zombie moonwalk victory animation together with 'braaaains' audio

As somebody who wears prosthetics I seem to be the only one annoyed that she's holding the damn gun the wrong way round lol.

To put the error in perspective here, imagine trying to make a pool/snooker shot while using the rest, except you're holding the rest in mid air. Your accuracy will be terrible hitting a ball a foot away, aiming a gun will be hopeless. The correct way to do it is to hold the shaft of the rifle with you real hand (this means you can also impede recoil as well as steadying the gun) and operate the trigger/bolt with your prosthetic, or if you have a below elbow amputation (she doesn't) your stump.

On a comical note though, considering how badly the internet seems to have lost it over seeing a victorian style split hook prosthetic in WW2, imagine if they made an expansion where you could play as the Germans (who had modern day robotic arms in WW2) minds would be blown xD

Late reply but mailman really is on a troll roll here.

Anyone see the new trailer, now the game looks significantly better in that trailer over that initial CoD style reveal. Much more WWII looking now and the gameplay graphics look awesome. Now I am officially hyped up for the game.

This video reveals jack shit about MP.

when open beta starts I will be considering it. I dont like Hollywood style in any form at all, but hore for nice graphics and maps.... If they could make it close to The Immersive Game (aka Rising Storm 2 Vietnam) it would be much easier, DICE.

Well it revealed a little more and looked much more WWII than that first trailer in all senses. Felt much more gritty and like combat like compared to that Michael Bay first trailer. I have also seen the multiplayer now and it looks good.
