>After releasing in 2017 to a wave of negativity due to its loot box-focused gameplay, Star Wars Battlefront 2’s popularity has been steadily rising thanks to a steady string of patches and content updates – such as the recent Clone Wars season, which has added several new hero characters, modes, and maps to the game. >We spoke to Dennis Brännvall, design director on Battlefront 2, at Gamescom, and he told us the surprising truth – Battlefront 3 is not part of the deal. >“Sequels are probably still viable otherwise people wouldn’t be doing them,” he explains, “but it’s not the same hunger as it used to be.” >“We were so used to the chain of sequels, where we do a sequel then we do a season pass for a year then move onto the next game. >I think the industry has changed on that… before it was very transactional and we made the game and we signed up for 4 DLCs and then that’s it. >So then you focus on getting value to players out of what they paid for and if there was a system that wasn’t working then you put a pin in that and say we will fix it in the sequel.” >Brännvall then confirmed, “this time around we’re not doing it that way.”
archive.is/H0BR6 I hope you're happy Yea Forums, you killed Battlefront in the end.
If you honestly thought Battlefront 3 would have been better you are delusional and naive.
Cameron Reyes
people are tired of games in general
Isaac Hernandez
These are the most retarded devs ever. After all the bullshit NOW that realize that people want their battlefront games to play like battlefront games
Matthew Martin
>"not the same hunger" for sequels gee I wonder why
Asher Bailey
People are tired of bad games.

Just suck a big fucking dick corporate bootlicker.
people would rather not make games at all than try to make good ones

Good it was a mercy killing
Isaiah Perry
how is this bad news. EA focusing on updating one game instead of making a sequel every year sounds like a good thing to me.
Jaxon Stewart
Wow it turns out making shitty cashgrab games kills your rabid playerbase! That's insane!
Henry Wood
Shame really, I play Heroes VS Villains with my mate pretty much every couple days or so. If you see a Dooku and Palpatine on PS4 emoting and quoting them over the mics, that's us.
Gabriel Gonzalez
reminder it wasnt lootboxes that was the main problem it was the dogshit regressive core gameplay and design
Joshua White
Goddamnit it's just like when Nintendo initially said that Metroid was dead because there was no interest in their stupid metroid-themed 3DS minigame collection they put out.
Michael Green
>battlefront 3 gets cancelled >for the 5th time This game is absolutely cursed. It's never going to happen.
Good, also you need to fuck off already, sick of your constant shilling for that game.

Glad I could help. Fuck moderm S*ar W*rs.

I wonder how Battlefront (2030) will turn out?

I would say hopefully EA finally loses their Star Wars exclusivity, but I can't bring myself to fucking care about anything Star Wars anymore. Disney ruined it. Any time I see something even from the originals all I can think of is where the franchise eventually headed. The next time one of my favorite franchises gets picked up or brought back to life by a giant soulless media mega corporation, I'm just going to pretend it never happened and ignore anything but the original.
Landon Bennett
Good. EAfront is trash and a sequel would just mean more horror.
>intentionally sink the games with over the top predatory microtransactions >WE WON'T MAKE ANOTHER BECAUSE PEOPLE DON'T WANT IT
Brandon Bailey
Most people in this thread are retarded or at least illiterate. there's nothing in the article that suggests BF is dying, in fact it literally states the opposite in the opening line; >"Star Wars Battlefront 2’s popularity has been steadily rising". the fact that there's not going to be a BF3 in this case just means DICE is moving away from making annual sequels and season passes.
The worst part of it is that most people will say you aren't/weren't a "real" fan because you don't like Disney star wars. I had someone tell me that even though they know I've been rabid for star wars since I could talk. If I try to bring up the problems with the movie they get angry and say I'm being too negative and I'm ruining things.

Thank palpatine.

OP literally said Yea Forums "killed" battlefront right below the link.

EA killed Star Wars faster than Disney did.
Jacob Peterson
Companies pout like children whining that their parents won't spoil them when they act like shitheads. This is the modern business relationship.
I can read marketing speak just fine. Of course they open with saying the game is doing great. But if the game were actually doing great, they wouldn't be moving away from selling more of it. Do you actually think EA is turning over a new leaf right here, or is this just the same tactic they've been pulling for years?
Jordan Lopez
They're probably going to stop after that shit jedi knight reboot comes out.

>there’s “not the same hunger” for sequels Why are gamers so fucking sexist? Just because there's a female MC now the franchise is dead? Fuck you.
Nathaniel Hall
>Do you actually think EA is turning over a new leaf right here They see the writing on the wall for their lootbox bullshit and are looking for new ways to fuck customers.
Charles Young
if nothing else EA is always ahead of the curve when it comes to selling their shit to the lowest common denominator. of course they'll change their tactics if they find there's something that works better.
Josiah Scott

Its just the OG BF3 with some polish since DICE possesses the final build in their office
Gavin Richardson
>BATTLEFRONT 3 DEADDDDDD >Literally all it is is just "we wont be making a BF2, unstead we'll continue support for BF2"
I run into the same shit any time I'm asked if I like the ones and I say I don't. And sadly when they say I'm not a real fan they're right, because I couldn't care less about Star Wars anymore.
Hudson Flores
Ubisoft's turds massive sales figures say otherwise

Wed want a sequel if they stoped fucking up and actually make a good game at launch

It's the curse of three. I see now that it's not just a thing with Valve games.
Charles King
I mean, we kind of have to stop caring. If we still cared it'd hurt too much.
They make great world design, yeah missions and grind suck, and the bugs... but they make good maps. Plus dumb kiddies still buy dumb games, who do you think the entire of EAs playerbase is?
Nathan Davis
Punishing us because their greed caused the game not to sell well. Id rather just not.have another battlefront than have it continually trashed by the shitlords at EA. I hope they get cancer. In the ass.
Easton Barnes
>nobody wants a sequel? okay lets not make it Good decision for once by EA.

Juan Perry
jeez how would that happen?
Dylan Lee
Same thing happened with Dawn of War, except Sega wanted there to be no sequels from the get go.

it really felt like being a grunt in a musou game if you just wanted to be a clone trooper, there's just 8 roaming invincible main characters that just farm the shit out of the 12 unlucky bastards who aren't a hero character, felt pretty terrible.
