You may want to check out this game called Star Citizen...

How does the EA/Origins Early Access thing work anyhow? Is the game just unlocked between certain hours on the 13th or something? Is there any difference between EA Access and Origin Access?

An entire campaign based around being a juggernaut? I have no way to express my joy in any kind of cool or manly way.

I just hope these mini-campaigns are of a decent length. Like a solid couple of hours at least.

stop staring at me

I canceled my preorder, signed up for Origin Access, and re-preordered for a few bucks less, with the added bonus of being able to start on the 13th instead of the 18th.

I'm not sure how it works though. In Origin it still says my preload date is the 14th. Does it just magically become available on the 13th when the Play First Trial begins? And what time on the 13th does that start?

From what I've gathered the First Trial and the Preload are two separate things. Also, the First Trial will only let you play for 10 hours until the 18th. Honestly I'm not sure how they'll handle something like multiplayer (maybe they'll have a special event so everyone plays at once?). If nothing else it'll be a good time to run through the single player.

Origin/EA Access demos are pretty simple.

You get nearly full access to the game for 10 hours.

If you choose to upgrade your demo to a full version all of your stats will transfer over.

In the case of BF1 the demo includes the first two chapters of Singleplayer, 5 maps from the MP, every weapon/gadget/etc in the game, and access to Conquest and Rush game modes.

According to the achivements the single player will have a WW1 info dump sort of codex. While that is neat, I hope nobody will be narrating the entries like they do some other games now.

Also, don't forget to grab them field manuals while trying not to die!

Lots more footage dropping today, looks like they've made a lot of good changes. Trip mines are now a recon only gadget and support mortars are back to early bf4 levels :getin:. I really just want to see a video of all the primary weapons in action so I know what to unlock first.

I can safely say, by looking at the current livestream: holy hell, is this Singleplayer leaps and bounds better than 3 and 4.


Also the visuals are just stupid good. I love that the fog actually reduces visibility by quite a lot and isn't just for show.

Yeah, I didn't care about the Origin Access stuff because loving :lol: at the same company who came up with DLC season passes trying to squeeze even more money out of us, but it actually seems like it's... a good deal? :psyduck:

It's five bucks a month and they recently announced that they'll be adding Battlefront to the program, which is actually pretty great if you didn't already have it. Might be worth hanging onto.

I kind of hate Origin's new interface, especially the chat interface being incorporated into the main screen instead of being a floating separate box by default.

It's cluttered and overly fancy too with game footage playing on the main screen and such.

I'm glad that the arsenal is a bit more focused this time around, I always thought that BF3 and BF4 had too many god damned guns and attachments to the point that it was a little overwhelming whenever you unlocked things.

Your running in borderless windowed and win 10 I assume. If so you can fix this two easy ways. 1) fire up the game and click on the icon for the game as it flashes on the task bar for about 2 seconds. Or 2) if your video card has a game "optimization" section you can usually set it in there as well.

Yeah, the Vault is a cool idea but I wish they had more stuff in it. Really, I think a "Netflix, but for games" service like Gametap would work well nowadays with better bandwidth and such. Still, got to play through Crysis 3 for free with it (and the Dead Space trilogy, which I need to bang out as well).

A couple of years ago when EA won the "Worst Company in America" award from the Consumerist for the second time in a row everyone at EA shat their pants (for some perspective, none of the other companies who won the award ever really reacted apart from a limp-wristed PR release). I honestly think that was a wake-up call for them, along with SimCity 2013's abject failure. The progress is slower than we'd like, but they're taking steps to improve, which is good.

Oh yeah ea/origin access details. You get 10 hours if play time, time suspends while your not in the game. It is playable now with the first(3) missions of single player and 5 multiplayer maps. You get a dog tag just for opening the game with the ea/origin access pass. If you go through all 10 hours if your time it also gives a battle pack.

All stats are saved and will be there when you get the "full" game or once your early preorder kicks in.

Enjoy it while you can.
Played with an i5 3570, msi 970, 8 gigs of ram, on 2560x1080 and it ran at around 55-65 fps on average with ultra/half resolution render. Game is pretty drat good looking and smooth. Running it on lower settings, I could get a semi - stable 115 - 130fps. Depends on how much poo poo is on the screen.
