Wow that trailer was awesome. I really liked Star Wars: Battlefront and them adding a single should only help.

Really thought MS would get marketing for this game but Sony snatched this one too. They got marketing on lock this holiday season.

_-EDMIX-_3202d ago

MS can't afford it and I don't even see the benefit to EA to have the lowest install base to market their game.

Its just a lose lose.

Sony has the install base, they have the more powerful base system, its a small check compared to the one MS would have to write.

slavish03202d ago (Edited 3202d ago )

I agree with the "bigger install base"" statement but "most power BASE system"?? Lmfao I guess anything can be MOST POWERFUL with restriction, lol. What ever u need to say to justify your purchase or make u feel better...still pathetic. Sony will be ok without "the most powerful" crown, Jesus Christ 🤣

Ju3202d ago

^^ Which more powerful console has sold more HW till today?

Christopher3202d ago

MS doesn't need it: EA Access

_-EDMIX-_3202d ago

@sla- between Microsoft and Sony Sony has a system that is going to be marketing this game the most simply because Pro or Scorpio or not going to be shown in ads to Market Battlefront we are going to be using the base units the best which is currently the PlayStation 4.

The comment has absolutely nothing to do with trying to brag or crown Sony with the best or anything like that it is simply an objective statement but they have the most powerful of the units before adding and Playstation 4 Pro or Scorpio etc

Whether you like it or not the absolute vast majority of this game's sales will come from base Playstation 4's..Not pro

As to why I made that statement.

DAEMONIFEAR3202d ago

MS can't afford what exactly?

_-EDMIX-_3202d ago

@DAE- Afford as it would it be in their best interest financially to spend money on something that they're not going to see huge returns from because they're not the market leader.

The amount of money that Electronic Arts would charge Microsoft would likely be more than what they would charge Sony because they're taking greater risk marketing the game on a lesser install base which puts Microsoft in a lose-lose they're spending more money for something that won't move them that much units

I look at the term afford not simply that you have enough money for it but that it's going to make you a respectable return in the first place.

Put it this way just because I could buy a Lexus doesn't mean I could afford one...

I'm simply saying that Microsoft is not going to waste the money on something that is not going to net them great returns there's just no point considering that kind of loss this console generation by an extreme landslide .

The amount of money Electronic Arts is going to charge Microsoft is not going to make Microsoft sell more units than Sony so I ask, what would even be the point?

So my point is not that Microsoft doesn't have the money simply that it financially doesn't make sense for them to waste it...

I'd rather see them use that money to build more Studios and make more games for their platforms.

Like I said Electronic Arts and all the other Publishers would charge Microsoft more money because they're taking a greater risk marketing their game on the least common denominator as well as the system that has less units.

Tko11113202d ago

Really ms can't afford it lol

zb1ftw7773202d ago

"MS can't afford it"

Lmfao.

christocolus3201d ago

Lmao XD. can't afford it? lol.... Anyways I cant wait to play BF2.

DigimonMaster3201d ago

For all you fools laughing, xbox division wasn't able to get marketing for BF2, COD, RDR2, DESTINY. Think about it for a sec.

Sunny_D3201d ago (Edited 3201d ago )

By not affording, I assume he means the Xbox division. MS obviously has a butt load of money, but each division has a budget and have to keep within the parameters of what they are allowed to spend as determined by their board members.

onisama3201d ago

MS the company worth more than 60 b dollar cant afford it when 5 b worth company can wow i love sony but fanboys are annoying

_-EDMIX-_3201d ago (Edited 3201d ago )

Sunny_D and DigimonMaster - THANK YOU! That is exactly what I mean. It isn't going to be worth it for them simply because the publishers would charge them more money knowing they are greater risk marketing to a lessor install base.

MS isn't going to just waste money on something that won't give them a respectable return. I'm not entirely sure why folks decided to take the statement literally without reading the rest.

They can't afford it, like they can't afford to waste the companies funds. Its not saying they LITERALLY CAN'T, its saying its not the right choice for how the would spend it ie I can't have doughnuts on my diet doesn't mean I can't physically open my mouth and eat a doughnut ,I mean... I know you folks are not this slow as to take such a thing literally out of context without even reading the rest to realize what is being stated....you folks legit just cherry picked a statement and ran with it lol

@Oni- read. The term "afford" is being used as in MS can't risk it, not that MS doesn't have the money literally, I don't even know why someone would think that was literal. I don't even think most of you even read the rest to fully understand in what context it was being stated.

No one is saying MS has no money, simply that the money they do have makes no sense to be used on such marketing at the price that those publishers will charge.

I mean.....maybe don't cherry pick and exaggerate statements by taking them literally and out of context.

I mean, while some of you are taking statements literally, might as well say I mean "small check" as in literally a tiny, miniature check LOL!

Silly gameAr3201d ago

ROLF, it's funny because you said "MS" and "can't afford" in the same sentence. Laugh with me guys lmao!

MasterCornholio3201d ago

I believe by afford it you mean they their budget wouldn't permit it. Microsoft has a whole can afford to outpay Sony in every business operations. However each division of Microsoft has a budget and everything the divisions do has to fit in said budget.

Gazondaily3201d ago

"The most powerful base system" 😂😂😂 29315;

Hahaha bruv...keep moving the 🥅

Condemnedman3201d ago

can't afford it? Ms are a far richer company than Sony . as for power base lets see come e3 who has the most powerful base system

3201d ago
Utalkin2me3201d ago

Seems alot of kids here do not understand business and how it works. His cant afford comment is not about MS not being able to afford if the truly wanted too. But the facts MS has different divisions and each division has only so much money they are allotted by board members. And as the Xbox division dips into the red or close to the red, the spending will get cut to make up profits. the Xbox division hanst made MS very much money at all. All the investors have been wanting MS to get rid of the Xbox division for years.

stuna13201d ago

I don't see why you even try! People on here don't comprehend basic economics. All they see is Microsoft is a multi billion dollar corporation that's making Scorpi! Because of that all logic flies out the window.

For those that can follow without the tinted glasses. He's not saying Microsoft can't foot the bill, just that why would they!? Microsoft would not be able to offset the financial risk involved with paying for advertising rights but yet selling enough copies to recoup what their expenditure is and still make a sizable profit due to fanbase size, and as of now a non existent Scorpio fanbase.

Nybz3201d ago

"MS cant afford it" - oh word you work for Microsoft? How many years have you been taking care of their books?

morganfell3201d ago

"MS doesn't need it: EA Access"

Then MS has to have a massive number of X1 owners, who are half the PS4 install base, that pay for EA Access for your point to carry weight. By far most X1 owners do not have EA access. That invalidates the idea that it grants MS leverage.

princejb1343201d ago

@edmix "ms can't afford it"
Is ms they can afford anything

S2Killinit3201d ago

That video was really cool btw.

badz1493201d ago

Most of you guys here are funny. The almighty MS has all the money in the world and surely can afford anything, right? Where are the games? Exclusives? 1st party studios? The only way MS has been able to have that much money is through monopoly. They rarely worth a damn when going head to head in anything. Zune, Lumia, Windows Phone, Xbox etc. Trust me on this, if they are allowed to buy Playstation, they would, just so they can dominate without competition.

LOL Not even manage to outbid Sony for these huge 3rd party marketing rights!

Silly gameAr3201d ago

I guess a lot of people don't get sarcasm. Everyone is to busy being in constant battle mode.

Goldby3201d ago

@Deamonifear

Xbox division probably can't afford to spend all of that money on marketing rights for the amount of return they would be getting.

@TKO,ZB1FTW, Christoculus, Onisana, Silly gamer, condemned

Apparently you all thik that the Xbox division of Ms gets all of the money Ms makes and nothing is allocated to any other department.... fools know nothing about how business are run, and apparently budgets.

@Condemned

I didn't know with the release of the Scorpio that the Xbox one is getting a boost in power. please show proof or learn to read. The Base console aka PS4 and Xbox One. PS4 is still more powerful than Xbox one and no amount of scoprio is going to change that

Ashlen3201d ago

I don't know why anyone is surprised. EA goes where the money is at. PS4 has been selling 2x+ the software for years now. People who thought that Scorpio was going to change the dynamic were deluded. Developers will go where the money is and that's PS4.

LexHazard793201d ago

MS already did the marketing for me, when they revealed Scorpio. No install base or content is gonna stop that from being the best version.

ZeroX98763201d ago (Edited 3201d ago )

The Xbox division is far from being positive VS other departments. Lots of shareholders wanted MS to abandonned the Xbox division since the net profit coming from it at each fiscal year end ain't worth much. Money could've been invested in better projects.
There's a reason why Microsoft is worth more on the market than Sony and it's not because of their gaming division, trust me on that one!

daBUSHwhaka3201d ago

Can't afford it..you serious.

Ceaser98573613201d ago (Edited 3201d ago )

Some deliusional fanboys thinks Since MS has lum sum of money that's Xbox's to keep.. LMAO!! Every department has a budget and things pan out according to that budget.. Phil has to prove MS regarding Xbox how it should be marketed to the customer.. People forget that Xbox is only a part of MS not the entire Company..

prolly Edmix could have said "Xbox Division cant afford" to make most of you understand..

We Will have to see if MS has AS access for this one. I don't remember if the last one had it.

They got destiny 2, battlefront 2, red dead 2 and COD. A lot of holiday bundles coming up.

And all of those games will be demonstrated as PS4 Pro games being second Generation Engines for the System. :) So the games will melt faces. Cannot wait

Everything ends in 2 later this year : Destiny 2,Battlefront 2,Cod WW2,Red Dead 2,State of Decay 2 and Shadow of War 2....weird

boomtube19873202d ago

I cant wait till witcher 4 have MP. Im Not gonna play it but SP fanatics will feel tbe wasted time

Yohshida3202d ago (Edited 3202d ago )

They have to get every deal they can. Nothing else to compete with scorpio and its lineup this holiday. The funny thing is that the best place to play will be on scorpio. Better Graphics, Performance and play it one week early.

3202d ago
Doabarrelroll3201d ago

Too bad it's games that sell consoles not power

Also please tell us this Scorpio line up for this year that Sony need some to compete with when It looks like MS can't even compete the first three months of the year

MasterCornholio3201d ago (Edited 3201d ago )

They have the PS4 and PlayStation exclusives to compete with Xbox. Just like every other year.

Yohshida3201d ago

Thanks for confirming my point. Scorpio plus Sea of Thieves, Forza Motorsport 7, State of Decay 2, Crackdown 3 and all multiplats working better vs Gt Sport. Yep, Ms cant compete.

MasterCornholio3201d ago (Edited 3201d ago )

I don't know what you expect the results to be. Sony will probably win world wide during the holidays despite Microsoft having all those games and superior multiplats. That's due to how strong the PlayStation brand is in comparison to the Xbox.

Microsoft can be competitive but the odds are not in their favor just because of Scorpio.

Doabarrelroll3201d ago

Wasn't aware all those games had confirmed release dates -_- damn being able to see the future must be awesome

Utalkin2me3201d ago

@VideoGameLab

Dang, you kids are out early to be touting fall games already for Xbox. Usually that doesn't happen mid to late summer. You just keep doing that the rest of the year so it makes you feel like your playing a game until fall. I'll go back playing my exclusives that Sony has unlike MS.

And btw, the best place to play those games will be the PC....

InTheZoneAC3201d ago (Edited 3201d ago )

Are you really that dim?

Scorpio has nothing on the competition.

-Pc trumps scorpio
-Playstation trumps the entire Xbox brand
-Switch/3ds trumps Xbox brand

You are speaking for all other delusional Xbox customers, you have NO games to go with your fancy toy

Native 4k ultra on Scorpio and 1440p Chinese checkerboard on PS4PRO?

3202d ago
SpaceRanger3201d ago

Careful now...99% of the Xbox fans will be playing it at a nice blurry 720p. Possibly even yourself lol

christocolus3201d ago (Edited 3201d ago )

Dice was at the Scorpio reveal E3 last year and DF says MS tested every major engine on Scorpio so Frostbite must have been one of the.Dice definitely will be pushing Scorpio hard with BF2 also i'm certain Xbox fans will also get to play this first via EA Access. Can't wait to pre-order Scorpio

UltimateRacer3201d ago

EA want to sell BF2 to the biggest install base and that's PS4. MS would have to pay a lot for EA to even consider marketing BF2 for XBone.

mark_parch3201d ago

Can't wait to see what this looks like on scorpio, especially as frostbite engine uses dx12.

mark_parch3201d ago

LMFAO how I have I got 6 dislikes. I'm sure it will look amazing on pc and ps4 as well. It's just that digital foundry said on games built with dx12 like battlefront it's possible to reduce the workload on the cpu by upto 50% as dx12 is built into the hardware so I'm interested to see how that translates into graphics

alb18993201d ago

Sony can have all the marketing but I just can't stop thinking about how this game will look in the Beast......Sorry but in my mind there's a new king allrady and there I want to play the next batlefront, cod, rdr2, Shadow of War and whatever comes.

BiggerBoss3201d ago

I find it funny how for the past 3 years the Ps4 has been the most powerful and Xbox fanboys kept saying it doesn't matter. But now you're all so excited the "Beast" and its power? Get real guys.

Money-Mike3201d ago (Edited 3201d ago )

They have no choice. They know that once people get a look at the Scorpio version of a game, they're going to bypass the PS version completely. The Digital Foundry and IGN comparison videos will give us the real scoop.

cyclindk3201d ago

Only way this will happen, Scorpio = 399.99

Sevir3201d ago

No they wont, they'll buy an XBO one version because that's what they have and are completely fine with playing on a standard HDTV, just like most everyone bought their games on PS4... The Pro has been released and people still play games on Base PS4...

The vast majority of XB fanbase isn't going to dump there 250-500 dollar investment o buy a new $1000+ 4k TV and a $499? Box...

You're out of your mind if you think Sony cares? By the time Scorpio launches, the Pro will have been out for a year, and more than likely will have a cheap price point to make even a competing more powerful console a hard sell.

You Scorpio fans are so insecure... Let the machine launch.

Goldby3200d ago

and only for people with 4k tvs.

Ms is marketing the Scorpio as a 4k console. what about 80% of the general population that don't own 4k, why should they spend a metric shit tonne on a console that change much to what they are already playing?

3201d ago
spicelicka3201d ago

Why are marketing rights so important to people lol. They're bullshit regardless if MS or Sony have it.

Erik73573201d ago

I wont care until I see in game footage and actual gameplay.

It better not be dumbed down like the first one. I want huge epic battles with tons of players and controllable aT walkers....like what a joke the first one was for this. As of now it looks like the same over hyped boring crap the first one was in the reboot.

EatCrow3201d ago

Sony needs to bank all of its efforts on Playstation. It is about the only area that is making money for them.

Really shows how big the gaming industry has become.

Goldby3200d ago

they are actually 2 different companies. There's sony that produces TVs, Cellphones, Speakers and audio equipment.
and then theres Sony Interactive entertainent which includes Playstation, Playstation Video, PSVR and Playstation network

RommyReigns3201d ago

Hopefully this time the fun factor in Battlefront 2 actually lasts like Battlefield 1, instead of Battlefront 1 fun and nostalgia factor lasting 10 hours before realising it has less content than PS2 Battlefront 2.

XanderZane3201d ago (Edited 3201d ago )

Yeah the trailer looks pretty good. Can't wait to see gameplay at the E3.

dilbig53201d ago

When Someone has twice the install base, I'd go with that too. Business wise, its the smartest thing EA has done in awhile.
