Battlefield V - Reveal trailer - October 19th
- Thread starter Theorry
- Start date
My initial reaction to the tone of this trailer was to feel a bit incredulous about the wacky dialogue, the smarmy british female soldier fighting on the frontline, with her prosthetic arm just to make it even more ridiculous, the V2s falling out of nowhere, shooting grenades out of the air...
There's no need to jump on me and tell me that women fought in the war too. I know that the Russians and other countries employed female soldiers. It's just seeing a brit female soldier on the frontline , with a prosthetic arm (something that never in a million years would have been seen in frontline combat itself at the time, as a soldier with a disability like that would put the entire unit at risk), coupled with my expectation of authenticity from this franchise in general, that kind of surprised me.
It's clear that this game is not taking itself super seriously. Having let it settle in for a little bit now, I'm actually kinda relieved that the game won't be taking a super serious and historically accurate tone. I just got done listening to the entirety of "Blueprint for Armageddon" from Dan Carlin's Hardcore History and to say I'm a little burnt out on stories of the unimaginable horrors and human tragedies of war is a complete understatement.
The game itself looks phenomenal and I can't wait to play it.

I can understand that. I'll wait to see more til I pass more judgement and I'll wait until I play it to form an opinion. I think it's going to be a blast, in my opinion.
That Jackfrags video is blowing my mind.
It's pretty clear they do when the trailer opens and closes with Xbox...
I don't think it's coincidence that film and art about that era are more drab and less colorful. Who are we to assume the world was always perceived and seen in the same way it is now. We can just agree to disagree I guess.
Damn. Lots of mixed attitudes on this.
Wonder if they framed it as a Bad Company 3 game, reception would have been different. Some of the "wackier" elements may have just been designated to the Bad Conpany charm.
Either way, excited for this mostly. Looking forward to further MP reveals!
I mean that shot just screams Bad Company to me!

Fighting nazis with a barber wired nails cricket bat. When WW2 meets left4dead.

I wish they would make a Battlefield and CoD game with nothing but female characters. I'm going to pick the female character anyway, so just give me lots of females to pick from. Really give all the little insecure babies something to cry about.
(No..I'm not joking..I always pick the female character if it's an option)
This looks really good, and sounds really deep game-play wise from the in-depth looks.
Perhaps you should buy an Xbox One X or a high-end PC...so this wouldn't look like "CGI" to you.
Edit* (yes, obviously, it's scripted)

Trailer didn't do a whole lot for me, looking real pretty.
Interesting to see Battlefield also removing auto regenerating health.
Edit: seems I jumped the gun and it hasn't been removed, just adjusted in the way it works.

Post like this are so deliciously weird imo ... as if the color or rather lack of color of those footage were a style choices rather than dealing with technical limitations . I would not dare say that the game got lifelike color and photography , especially when it does try to set a less serious tone , but it's probably closer to reality than the usual grey and depressing tints and hue than those games can't seem to get away from ... because of war movies and outdated footage
Just like Battlefront 2. Unfortunately people don't learn and will still eat this game up instead of waiting to see how they implement microtransactions.
Dude, what lmao.
The way we perceive colours hasn't changed since then.
Sorry I typed that wrong. Not CGI, it's the in engine footage but it's like they just slapped a UI over it in the second half attempting to show real gameplay? It just looks weird.
Plus it goes from third person to first person of someone who appears out of nowhere?
Gotta have that DC movies feel in my war games, oh no DICE added color must be copying fortnite
You don't need to be a historian to see that they aren't running with a realistic color palette and using a high level of HDR and god rays.
okay... so the trailer screamed fast paced arcadey action, which some people liked and some people did not.
all the reviewers have obviously seen a completely different game in the preview because they say it's not like that at all. lol
guess we'll have to wait to see what the game is actually going to be like.

Yeah thats fair. I actually dont really know what to feel. I trust the larger picture-- big open maps, the weapons and vehicles, the intensity. But the characters are just something else
Don't make me choose.
I'll be getting both on Xbox One X. RDR2 has to be first though....I have to have it.
Fucking hell
I won't lie, this level of salt is giving me LIVE.
Like, stay mad dipshits.
Don't make me choose.
I hope she shows up on the Deluxe cover art too. It looked like they were both different.
At this point I'm convinced this is a joke. Please don't be real.
Only sexist would complain if they introduced female soviet soldiers and french partisan. That would be historically accurate and welcomed.
Overall design seems unrealistic - vivid colours etc. one guy looked like they took him straight from Vikings tv series. I am not a fan.
Now we have sexist who complain about women (in general) 0in BF V and people who are not sexist but prefer more realistic and historically accurate take on a game. You have to differentiate these two.

So I downloaded In the Name of the Czar DLC for BF1 cause it's free. Fire it up and there's literally no conquest games going on for that particular dlc. None. They just put me in a lobby by myself.
