The best 'Battlefield' is finally playable on Xbox One
The pinnacle of the Battlefield series is at long last backward compatible on Xbox One. Of course, I'm talking about Battlefield Bad Company 2, which came out way back in 2010. There have been four games in the franchise since (Battlefield 3, 4, Hardline and last year's Battlefield 1), but the developers at DICE still haven't gone back to the Bad Company well.
EA Mobile announces fall iOS game lineup
If you've been waiting for SimCity to make its way to iPad/HD format, you don't have much longer to wait. EA Mobile has recently announced its game release slate for the rest of fall 2010. Along with FIFA 11, EA Sports NBA Elite 11, and others, the company will be releasing the iPad-specific SimCity Deluxe HD. The game will obviously feature a bigger, interactive display and an optimized HUD that takes advantage of the increased screen real estate. Unfortunately, the price for SimCity is unknown, though it's expected to debut in November. Other games on EA's slate include High Caliber Hunting, Battlefield: Bad Company 2, and Heroes Lore. Battlefield is a console-style warfare simulation with 14 single-player levels; High Caliber Hunting sounds like your run-of-the-mill hunting game; and Heroes Lore is a Korean RPG featuring 1-on-1 or 2-on-2 battles. It appears that you can expect some of these games to run around US$5 or so when they're released. [via MacNN]
Bad Company trailer now on XBLM
The Battlefield: Bad Company teaser trailer that was released to the interwebz earlier this month is now available on Xbox Live Marketplace. The trailer (which we've conveniently embedded above) highlights plenty of gameplay as well as exposing some of the overall storyline. We haven't quite figured out if the game is promoting war profiteering or not, but it's certainly promoting excessive destruction. Watch the video closely for plenty of real time destruction as environments crash down from an explosion. If you get the chance, download the HD version on Marketplace. It's real purdy.
Video: Bad Company in-game footage
EA just released a new Battlefield: Bad Company teaser trailer including the same humor we've seen in the previous videos, but this one features a first glimpse at what the game will look like. Embedded above or downloadable through IGN is the new Bad Company trailer with lots of big explosions, small explosions and just explosions all around. Simply put, there are lots of things that go BOOM! And after analyzing the trailer frame by frame we must say that the in-game footage looks really nice with its muddy art style, polished character models and destructible environments. Give the video a watch to see if you can handle the Bad Company, their destructive humor and their smiley face grenades. [Thanks, Token White Guy]
Battlefield: Bad Company Images
Gamersyde has a slew of new images of Battlefield: Bad Company. We haven't heard much on Bad Company short of a few screenshots since the trailer hit Marketplace back in February. These new shots are all pretty slick, showing off the characters, hum-vees, helicopters, weapon models, and some spiffy explosions and destructible environments. It's looking very pretty and we can't wait until we get more details on how well it plays. Check out the screens after the jump. [Thanks, Brian LQbano]
New Bad Company screens are looking good
Today, DICE released four new Battlefield: Bad Company screenshots and from what we can tell, they're pretty. All the screenshots are in game and showcase the Battlefield destruction in all its glory. Previously, we've been on the fence with the direction those trailers were going, but we can safely say we'll be watching for this game. Maybe the blend of comedy and war will be a welcome change to the genre or it could just get annoying. But, whatever happens, these screenshots show the visual potential Bad Company has. All four screenshots are viewable after the jump.
Video: Battlefield: Bad Company
The Battlefield: Bad Company trailer that was made available on Marketplace this morning is now available online (also in HD). As a service to our readers that are currently chained to a desk and can't access a 360, we bring you said trailer. It's generally fashionable to take a few potshots at EA when given the chance, but we have to admit Bad Company looks like it could be a bit of alright. The trailer showcases something that many games don't: a sense of humor. The trailer isn't necessarily indicative of gameplay, but there's no denying that the engine is nice. Give it a watch and tell us what you think.
Yet more Battlefield
DICE has announced a new Battlefield game in addition to the upcoming Battlefield 2142. Entitled Battlefield: Bad Company, the game promises to deliver a solid single player experience, something lacking in previous Battlefield titles. This single screenshot presumably shows off the bad company in question. DICE hopes to bring the "unpredictable nature of the sandbox experience" found in Battlefield multiplayer to the single player campaign of Bad Company.Could this possibly breathe some new life into an arguably stale genre? We certainly hope so.[Via Joystiq]
