Posted July 2, 2009 http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/battlefield-1943-out-next-week EA has announced that Battlefield 1943 will be released on Xbox Live Arcade next Wednesday and PlayStation Network next Thursday. A PC release, remember, will appear sometime in September. Battlefield 1943, which costs 1200 MSP (GBP 10.20 / EUR 13.96) on Live and GBP 10 on PSN, re-imagines Battlefield 1942 - the game the entire series was built upon. BF 1943, however, has been designed to be more accessible, so classes have been trimmed to three and there's a gentler difficulty curve to ease you in. DICE promises plenty of depth too, and has used all the latest technology to make sure everything looks nice and plays well. Our thoughts soon. Seems a bargain for just a tenner...will definitely pick it up, got a 9/10 in EDGE and seems like a high quality title for a downloadable any other PS3 owners planning on picking it uo?

Posted July 2, 2009 (edited) There's quite a lot by the looks of things. I got a bit excited when I saw something about the wipeout expansion but it's just a trailer. Not sure about the Pacific Rift add-on, and going to wait on reviews for other new PSN releases. But hey, a great FPS for roughly a tenner, cheers for the post Flamey! Will have to download that definetly. Edit: wait, it isn't an FPS? My bad. Still looks good though. Ah right it mixes flying, shooting and driving etc. Edited July 2, 2009 by dwarf Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 2, 2009 Here is a hands on from eurogamer as well; http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/battlefield-1943-hands-on gives more of a flavour. I'd rather have this smaller scale cheaper shooter than one where with tons of modes and loads of levels. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted July 2, 2009 For 1200 Points...I'll pass (oddly, Criterion think that £10 is 1000 MS Points). I've got plenty of shooting games, anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 2, 2009 sounds like we will have quite a PS3 following...looking forward to it... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 2, 2009 Day 1. I made a topic on this but more attention the better. Looking good for Bad Company 2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 2, 2009 all the console games in the series to date have failed to support left handed players. Won't be buying. (assuming they still suck at control schemes) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 2, 2009 Day 1. I made a topic on this but more attention the better. Looking good for Bad Company 2. Yeah think if I enjoy this may pick it up when its realised... 1up did a game night back on the 23rd June, here's the link; http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3174897 makes for a good, if slightly long (like all their game nights, sigh I miss the 1up Show, at least we have co-op) watch...defintely gets the appetite going...defintely worth watching you see a lot of stuff you wouldn't see in trailers, reviews etc..

Posted July 4, 2009 Not like 1942. This one only has 24 players and 4 basic maps (3 day 1). I'm sure the core gameplay remains the same though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 4, 2009 I'm sure the core gameplay remains the same though. Abit. But i'll leave it to the people when they get it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 4, 2009 Assuming there's a trial I'll give it a shot. Think it'll take up too much space on my HD though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 5, 2009 Just finished watching that 1up Game Night vid I linked to, gotten me so excited cannot wait for this... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted July 5, 2009 (edited) Another good video...thursday can't come soon enough... Oh yeah dont worry about the fun aspect. Its very fun. You will get nitpickers as with all Battlefield games saying it doesnt work etc. but forget them. Especially when all the major online shooters copy ideas from Battlefield. Nothing beats bombing in a plane then parachuting on a tank and taking over a base on your own :p Edited July 5, 2009 by Choze Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
