Do you have any of them Rumors?

Apparently a survey about Battlefield 6 features have been going around, asks about stuff like battle pass, free to play mode, etc. I don't know how companies actually use pre-release surveys like this, but I'm sure a lot of those features are already in the game in some form.

I would love to fill out that survey. Since Covid, a lot of my friends have had more at home time and we've been playing a lot of online games. Lately we're hopping between Battlefield 1 and Battlefield V and both games are a blast but there are so many minor tweaks I'd love to let DICE know about.
The one thing that completely boggles my mind is how ABSOLUTELY FUCKING TERRIBLE the whole EA Origin / EA Play / EA Desktop App is handled. Origin has been out since 2011, yet, it still barely works in a base level functional way on a day-to-day basis and it's shocking that EA hasn't fixed it. Issues we face trying to play BFV (every.single.time.) include:
- Friends are online, but they appear offline
- Friends appear online but cannot be invited to squad
- Origin won't load friends list
- Origin won't let me accept a new friend invite (the only way to make your friends appear online is to delete them and re-add them)
- Origin won't let me join a squad invite
- Squad invites don't appear
- If one friend is using EA Play through Xbox Game Pass, they have to load it through the Desktop app which won't launch the game because it claims Origin is open (when it isn't)
- The 'Play' button to launch the game is greyed out
- If launching through Steam, it sometimes won't open Origin to sign you in
The list goes on and on and on...
I'm suuuuuuper excited for Battlefield 6 because we've been having so much fun playing BF lately, but holy fucking shit is all of this EA launcher nonsense a massive pain in the ass. They have forum posts dating back a decade and still to this day there aren't any official resolutions. It's only gotten messier with two official EA launcher apps existing at the same time, then on top of it, there is the Xbox and Steam apps which are at play as well. It's quite honestly the most intrusive piece of shit in gaming right now.

Time to finish previous ones...

On the one hand there are like two Yakuza games you can play VF5 thru, a stand alone release feels long overdue.

Can't say that I'm sold on this rumor, but the idea of Remedy working on so many projects does intrigue me.
-
Sony bought the rights of the Agent from Rockstar and Remedy is making that game with the similar approach of first 2 Max Paynes.

@scotty that's a good Wild One!

@dipset

According to David Jaffe, Sony is bringing something for their platform akin to Gamepass. He says he heard it from multiple sources.

Hard hitting journalist David Jaffe!
I'll take the rumour. Sounds good to me.

A job listing hints that the next Bioshock game is an open world game.

@scotty You mean like PS Now, that thing they had before GamePass?
-
@el-shmiablo
I think he means Now is getting overhauled to be better, which shy of adding PS1,2,3,PSP,Vita and maybe a few extras like a funimation/crunchyroll or Netflix subscription (considering Sony's recent deal with Netflix) there isn't a whole lot they can do to make Now on equal footing with Gamepass.
-
All I know is that they better pipe up about their plans soon so I can avoid spending like $150 on PS1 games for PS3 by June.

@dipset
I'd say go ahead and spend it, and maybe get a new HDD while your at it.
