Really people? Are we going post random ww1 alternative history stuff here.

Hell yeah, better and more interesting than real history WW1 stuff from gameplay perspective.

 

[xDUMPWEEDx]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! My body is ready!

 

[_woLf]

Woooooah those concept images.

That's a really crazy coincidence if they're not related.

 

[rdytoroll]

I'm going to cry tomorrow if this is true, not even joking. This looks like a dream come true

I won't let myself hope. But god damn that looks awesome.

 

[Übermatik]

WW1 would be very welcome. A lot of untapped scenarios and environments that could be really interesting. Alternate timeline maybe?

 

[KOHIPEET]

there's tons of concept art like this on his site

https://www.artstation.com/artist/jakubrozalski

Battlefield or not, some of these art pieces are fantastic.

 

[josecitoxnyo]

I don't want to be remotely excited for that setting to avoid dissapointment, but man, it would be awesome.

Well no matter what happens, thanks to this thread I have found one of my new favorite artists.

 

[Adry9]

Could be nothing.

OMG that art.

 

[Jawmuncher]

I'm aboard the alternate WW1 train

 

[Fersis]

I know it's not happening but I would like to see Battlefield 1 be the start of Battlefield as a service where they start with WW1 in the base game and every following year they release an expansion with a new theatre of war.

The one Battlefield to rule them all.

I once wrote a similar pitch just for funsies.

 

[Surfinn]

Really cool ideas on that page, wow.

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

"Coming soon on X1, PS4 and PC"

I notice that and I'm going to wait to see what happens tomorrow.

 

[The Flash]

I will also take alternate WW1

 

[Sn4ke_911]

I notice that and I'm going to wait to see what happens tomorrow.

Well, even if it's not from the new BF game, this art makes me excited.

 

[Menitta]

My excitement hinges on the art style.

If it's anything generic, I'm gone.

 

[KOHIPEET]

Really cool ideas on that page, wow.

Yeah. I would probably kill for a BF-like game built around the concepts by this artist.

 

[mysocksarepink]

Battlefield One: prequel to titanfall

 

[goombatommy]

I am really, REALLY hoping its setting is WWI.

But that artwork...dayum...

 

[FelipeMGM]

Could be nothing.

That is a Polish flag on the mecha right?

Battle of Warsaw was in 1920 between Russia and Poland. A friend of mine just saw the picture and that was the first thing that ringed his mind

[StrangeTaco]

Well no matter what happens, thanks to this thread I have found one of my new favorite artists.

Yeah he's a fantastic artist, does a lot of stuff in the same vein.

[Coolade]

Let me do a quick rummage through his portfolio....

I don't want to get my hopes up...hmm..

 

[Ethical Hedonism]

Could be nothing.

The "coming soon on" font sure matches some of Battlefront's.

 

[D4Danger]

I think that concept art is for a board game

[Schlorgan]

Whatever it is, there will be a group of people upset that they're not getting what they want.

fuck

That's good...

Somebody just needs to hire this person ASAP to do all the art direction, a la HL2.

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

Hell yeah, better and more interesting than real history WW1 stuff from gameplay perspective.

So it's just a shooter game with crazy stuff in it then.

 

[professor denim]

I don't believe Dice will risk with alternate history or fantasy.

 

[S¡mon]

Yeah, that concept art with the WWI mechs and zeppelins look real cool but I'll be sort of bummed out if that sort of stuff just makes this BF game play the same way as BF3 or BF4.

Part of the appeal of putting a new BF game back in WWI or WWII is that it would change up the pace of the game and how you play it. If they're just adding in a bunch of sci-fi stuff to a WWI setting to make the game play as fast as modern BF3 or BF4, then a good amount of my hype is probably diminished.

If I want giant mechs, we've got Titanfall coming out. I don't necessarily want a WWI era BF to be WWI Titanfall.

Exactly!

 

[Darkangel]

The ballsiest thing they could do would be a pure World War 1 game.

 

[TimeEffect]

more art from same source:

You know what? This can fucking work

Keep it simple and minimalistic

Have huge WW1 era machinery. It doesnt have to be uber fast future warfare jetpacks and teleporters. They dont even have to be soldier-enhancing machinery. Just slow as molasses titans for a titan mode, or a giant zeplin of war.

Just giant machines that use old technologies.

This is going to be so amazing

 

[RS4-]

make it a show on HBO.

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

I think that is what Verdun is trying to be.

 

[josecitoxnyo]

Really people? Are we going post random ww1 alternative history stuff here.

Open mind mate, "WW1 with a twist".

 

[Schlorgan]

If it's like that then fuck yes.

Spoiler

If it's Bad Company being transported back in time then FUCCCCCCCCCKKKK YESSSSSS GAME OF FOREVER.

Darkest of Days with B Company

 

[Movalpolos]

Whatever it is, there will be a group of people upset that they're not getting what they want.

Well you can't always get what you want.

Spoiler

But if you try sometimes, you just might find, you get what you need.

Sorry.

Battlefield: Scythe --> pronlem solved.

 

[FelipeMGM]

Let me do a quick rummage through his portfolio....

I don't want to get my hopes up...hmm..

Yep, this tottally matches Battle of Warsaw

 

[Aters]

Please don't be WWI. I'm fine with WWII but WWI lacks variety.

 

[Trickster]

The ballsiest thing they could do would be a pure World War 1 game.

That would also be the worst thing they could do. It would be so boring.

 

[Odrion]

Wait.

If it is a fictional setting, could they be doing it to "Moba-ize" the game?

 

[ironcreed]

more art from same source:

That would be nuts, and I would be all over it.

 

[Graphics Horse]

He has a Monkey Island picture in there, Battlefield Monkey Island confirmed.

[maverickjesus]

Can't wait for Battlefield: Hardline 2: Harder

 

[Jawmuncher]

I don't believe Dice will risk with alternate history or fantasy.

I feel like this would be a safer bet than just WW1 really.

 

[Surfinn]

https://www.artstation.com/artist/jakubrozalski

Just in case anyone wants to see all of this dudes amazing work.. hopefully some of it ended up as an inspiration for BF.
