we all know DICE Stockholm went for Battlefront shortly after the disaster release of BF4, also we all know DICE LA saved BF4 and made it the great game we are playing today starting with Netcode fix all the way to the free Maps and CTE
Dan Vanderlind of DICE tweeted on 11 DEC 2015
“Now that we’ve shipped Battlefront and a part of the team continues to work on it, I am moving on to another project, the next Battlefield.”
so does BF1 has it’s time in development or it was rushed within less than 1 year? for a AAA FPS game originally made from scratch and with many diversity on Land, Air, Sea combat is that enough time to make? or that will cause many bugs, glitches, and stability issues?
If BF1 lunched properly ( no Netcode and Servers issues, Crashes, Bugs and Glitches ) we can witness a great era of BF history
So, Does BF1 has it fair time in development or it was rushed?
Yeah, It’s definitely going to be interesting can’t wait till the beta is out to test it out and see what we have to work with, Looking forward to going back to this era of warfare.
DICE is large company, which has multiple teams working on various products (Mirrors Edge, BF1 etc) I would say it’s safe to assume BF1 has had plenty of development time, and Frostbite has a dedicated team meaning dev’s can focus on the game and not the engine.
The game was under development since mid 2014. The development is also split in various categories, so not everyone is required to be working on the game at all times.
You would think the disaster of the BF4 release would’ve shaken every last drop of complacency out of them. Probably the best thing to happen to them long term if they learnt from it and they can’t afford not to have.
A repeat would be almost terminal. I’d bet things were triple checked and then some.

You’d think.
Judging by their recently launches, it does seem they’ve learned their lesson.

obviously we all know right now how the game will look like in few months on release but just for those who dont have the ability to predict future take a look at this movie
cant post links so you have to search it on YT:
“Battlefield 1: More Details from Behind Closed Doors Gameplay”
at 1.37 min the guy says the gameplay he watched “looks like nearly finished thing”
so it may be just a small detail but because all battlefields have been rushed before for me what this guy said means BF1 is not finished yet and we will get beta as alfa and on release we will get beta
same as it was with BF4
this game will be released so early because COD is being released as well
This, development has been ongoing for a very long time now - what you see is mostly definitely not a years worth.
Dan is a Development Director, it is his role to make sense of things and ensure that everything is coordinated in development - there are a few of these guys, and like stated.. developers come in and out of projects as and when needed.
Everyone who might actually know the answer to this question would say that the game is not rushed. Trolls on the internet will always claim the opposite just because it’s the opposite. The truth is that the public will first know when the game is released.
3 Years is quite a bit of time. Dice has many Dev teams. Each team works on a separate title. That’s why DICE LA stepped in to do the patching, so Stockholm could focus on BF1.
