Dice doesn’t really owe us anything but it would be in their best interest to keep us interested and happy. Would be nice if on day 1 release of the new consoles they also released an enhanced version/enhancement patch for BFV rather than make us wait 6 months. Not holding my breath but it would make alot of us want to fire up BFV on the new consoles. This obviously doesn’t do anything for the PC crowd but maybe appease them in other ways. If they don’t do anything then our next taste of real content maybe the BF6 Alpha in June probably. ---

I don’t think BFV for the next gen is planned right now. Maybe Dice will port it at some point but I’m pretty sure they are focused on the net BF game which will use resources of the new consoles to the maximum. ---

That means if one sells their ps4/Xbox1 there won’t be any shooters on the new consoles other than COD probably. Dice could probably make a patch and bring the console version “on par” with the PC-version (graphic-wise). This would of course require some resources, but it should be doable and most of the work would just be “tweaking” the graphical settings of the console-version. I don’t know how the code is made, but the Xbox already runs a special version of Windows 10 and as I understand it even uses DirectX 12 technologies (at least the next gen does). But in theory, they could just ‘dial up’’ the graphic settings and make the game look nicer with “minimal” work… ---

While awesome, I do actually think an enhanced version would take more resources than most people think. First of all, I think people underestimate just how much removal of unnecessary stuff and tweaking to the specific hardware goes into making a console game. All that tweaking need to be undone and all the graphics underlying graphics stuff etc. that was taken out but needs to be put back in to make the “enhanced edition” enhanced and then you need to retweak it all. Then you need to change some of the backend and servers to handle another platform and make sure this doesn’t introduce errors and bugs for the already existing platforms. The menu and its systems will probably need to be redone in many places. All this will ofc. make a bunch of bugs occur that will make it require a bunch of time in Q&A. I will also imagine the work with making an enhanced edition make better sense if you are at a certain place within the development cycle of the current game you are developing. A place where your game is not finished enough to begin testing some things with the new console but your old game is usable and you can use that to learn some lessons for the new game. There we go, karma in the world. The needle on the spectrum of speculation of how hard an enhanced edition will be to make is now back closer to the middle. ---

Also, a console can change HOW the code is run. There is a reason ps3&4 don’t run ps1&2 games. The structure is inherrently different. Many new things have been added, and I suspect new consoles will work very differently, and it would be akin to going from playstation to xbox. ---

That means if one sells their ps4/Xbox1 there won’t be any shooters on the new consoles other than COD probably. Well during Sony’s event yesterday, they announced some “fan favorite games from PS4” will be available on PS5 and that list included BF1. So if BFV ever comes for the next gen, it’s up to Dice to make enhanced version. ---

I’m not buying another copy of BF5 at all. I’m switching from XBOX1 to PS5 the way it is. Not back tracking buying any old BF’s. Not even sure i’ll buy the next Battlefield late 2021 or early 2022. Probably have larger player lobbies and more bad pings and bad netcoding and hitreg and out of region players and nerfed weapons right away. I’m not buying the ported Rainbow Six Siege either since i’m jumping ship. None of my stats would carry over from XBOX1 to PS5. Not starting over at zero rank and who knows what characters are unlocked right away. Not in no hurry now for a PS5 yet since I haven’t heard any Socom rumors either now. ---

How much more memory/system, etc…does it take to emulate a system than to run the system itself? Dot he PS 3 and/or PS 4 have enough memory to possibly load an emulated PS 1 and/or PS 2 operating system? (rather than just running old versions of the games) ---

An amazing BF6 is the only way to redeem themselves at this point. . Lots of AAA dev studios are stuck in a loop of hubris where they think they can repeat the things that went wrong in the past (several times) and that they will get them right this time. I want the devs to break that cycle of failure. The World of Warcraft Devs are about to repeat a critical mistake for the 3rd expansion in a row for example ---

Sony is giving away BF1 as part of PS plus (among other “generation defining” games) at launch of PS5. That should (hopefully) renew interest in BF1 and probably required DICE to sign off on it. As far as BFV goes, I think with the backwards compatibility, you can play BFV on PS5 anyway ---

The next bf should have a reaard for players who play bfv for a certain time duration. At 1,000 hours, let’s say, you $20 of ingame currency or something? That way, anyone who supported bfv longer than EA gets a reward of sorts. [Next page](https://battlefieldforum.co/t/a-way-to-make-it-up-to-fans/107595.md?page=2)
