"The fundamentals of FPS should drive our decision": Battlefield 6 designers say developers have a "responsibility" to make games intuitive
Battlefield 6 launched in October to generally very solid reviews, with our own writeup awarding the FPS 4/5 stars and calling it “a carefully-crafted and layered multiplayer” experience with a lackluster main campaign. The game has a “generally favorable” 83 Metascore and EA has said it was “the biggest launch in franchise history” (which doesn’t gel with the studio’s recent layoffs, but that’s beside the point).So, what’s the key to Battlefield 6’s success compared to its closest competitor, Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, which launched a month later to a much less enthusiastic reception? Well, no one knows for…

As Edwin worked the gaps between the Maw’s canines with the 8-foot toothpick, one of the Maw’s smaller tentacles slipped behind our news editor and tapped him on the shoulder. Edwin turned his head. It was only for a moment, but it was all that was needed to gobble him up. Not to worry, Edwin will surely have worked his way out of one of the Maw’s orifices (orifici?) and be…

EA says that Battlefield Studios, the coalition of studios behind Battlefield 6, will undergo “changes” that will seemingly lead to layoffs. To compete with the huge resource power of the series’ biggest rival, Call of Duty, EA merged former Battlefield developers DICE and Ripple Effect together with Motive Studios (Dead Space remake, Star Wars Battlefront 2) and Criterion Games (Burnout, Need For Speed Most Wanted) to make Battlefield 6. This quartet became known as Battlefield Studios, and each separate team focuses on different elements of the experience. Initially, this multi-studio plan appeared to have worked brilliantly.
