its not really "new" is it? i thought they were just going to show the entire 3 parts uninterrupted

dry_ice5530d ago

All together the Fault Lines add up to <8 minutes so I'm assuming there's going to be new content.

SixZeroFour5530d ago

yea, prolly just a bit of extended footage, especially with the building collapsing and the earthquake in the second one cause they cut it off real short

dry_ice5530d ago

A large portion of the entire video was actually leak before the release of the Fault Line series via lap-cam at PAX East 11.

I found a video on YouTube a while back, but I just checked and EA squashed it. Oh well, we can wait for people to declare their approval of the game haha.

can't "like it" I don't have facebook

but I like it in real life

evrfighter5530d ago (Edited 5530d ago )

ah crap.

I don't have a facebook account. Can someone here do a "like" bar for me?

tbh I really don't like the route EA is headed with BF3 advertising...

facebook is the nesting ground for casual gamers. I associate Facebook with M$'s vision for pc gaming. As in it's a complete nightmare.

SixZeroFour5530d ago

@evrfighter - they have 100mil marketing budget, you really think that facebook is the best theyll do? they arent marketing on facebook because of the casuals, they are marketing on there cause its easy and most of their fans (about 500k right now) have a facebook account...marketing on facebook also take $0 from their budget, so its like free marketing

It's cheap and very effective marketing. I still "dislike" this sort of thing though by dangling a new video in our faces. I hope it doesn't reach the 1m mark just to see if they hold out on releasing the video. I expect something along the lines of "well we nearly got there, to all 300k+ of you who liked, we'd like to thank you anyway, here is the video"

lugia 40005530d ago

Facebook? Likes?
Fuck off EA.

dry_ice5530d ago

Yeah, I kind of feel a little less excited about BF3 now.

Now I'm only 99.9% in love with it. Damn you EA.

davidmccue5530d ago

Giving an ultimatum on if you dont do this we wont let you see it, or if you dont buy this game you wont get a chance to play this beta, is starting to get a bit over the top now. Game developers are suppose to try and convince their customers to buy their games not having them chase after them as if its a privilege.

theonlylolking5530d ago

A million will not take long. Think about how many battlefield fans are on facebook that would want to see BF3.

As much as I'm looking forward to BF3 and I know its gonna be awesome, EA really need to watch they don't overhype this. The way they're pushing this it better be more than just pretty graphics, or it'll get slammed due to over expectancy.
Dunno about anyone else, but I'm starting to get a bit bored of hearing about it, by the time it comes out people will have stopped caring.

Senden5529d ago

I'd rather have a bazillion articles here about BF3 than MW3.

stevenhiggster5529d ago

Agreed, I'm not picking on the game, just the marketing. I just fear that EA are setting themselves up.

When logic meets EA it generates anti-matter ..... so try not to apply it in any meaningful way. Entropy is what matters in there !!

badz14983d ago

cue the apologist saying that these are mostly just contractors hired for this specific project bla bla bla

The community warned them this would happen but nope they knew better they continued with the live service push the made the art style cartoonish and this is the result

isarai_lee95d ago

It's always so bizarre when studios announce something super early in development under the suggestion of forming the game to player feedback, and then they push against all feedback heading straight for the cliff while everyone is warning them along the way

lol ya think? they're sending all that work to the cheaper labor market as soon as possible. and FYI, that labor market has exploded in the last 5-10 years. They have enough people to replace every single job. But honestly, EA is over filled with useless upper management as it is. You could probably trim 25% of their staff with no real loss in production. They aren't gamers, they're business execs. Just look at how many AI related jobs they're already starting to post. Its also hilarious that PIF owns Battle field 6

lodossrage129d ago (Edited 129d ago )

Wait,

The same congress that attacked Lina Khan when she fought the Microsoft Activision purchase.
The same congress that allowed Disney to buy 90% of Fox
The same congress that allowed Liv Golf to buy the PGA
The same congress that sits back while Paramount tries a hostile takeover despite losing the bid for Warner Bros.

NOW, the suddenly cares about doing what's "right" for works? Yeah, right.

thorstein129d ago

No. There were elections and some of the scum were replaced.

TheColbertinator129d ago

Different elections. Different scum. Same results.

rlow1129d ago

i know its a long shot, but i hope this gets shot down.

EA now owned by The Saudis and Ubisoft to inevitably be owned by China. In hindsight, once EA and Ubisoft started having their financial woes, they should have pulled a Koei Tecmo/Bandai Namco by merging their operations into one.
