9 Video Games Ruined By Ridiculously Last Minute Changes
6. Cross-Gen Release - Battlefield 4
Battlefield 4 is an amazing multiplayer shooter. With a sense of scale unlike even follow-up entries in the franchise, a bunch of well designed maps, loads of guns and an underrated single-player campaign, it was the perfect launch title to usher in the PS4 and Xbox One.
Well, when it worked. Which, uh, wasn't that often.
While everything in Battlefield 4 was well executed, it was all for naught because the sequel was virtually unplayable when it first launched. Hell, it remained that way for months after. With rampant server issues, bugs, hard crashes and save corruption plaguing players, the whole thing became a disaster.
In post-mortems for the game, EA and DICE admitted that the issue came from making the game for both next-gen and current-gen systems at the time to maximise exposure. While they hit their target, it came at a huge cost.
