Rejoice! Visceral says Battlefield Hardline 'will work' at launch

[Dohc-WP]

Battlefield Hardline will operate as expected at launch, according to Ian Milham, creative director at Visceral Games. "What you're basically asking is, 'Is your game going to work?' And the answer is yes, it's gonna work," Milham told Game Revolution.

The statement follows a rough launch for the last game game in the series, DICE's Battlefield 4, which suffered months of connectivity issues after its October 2013 arrival. That led to multiple law firms alleging that publisher EA issued "materially false and misleading statements" regarding Battlefield 4's playability. When a CEO like EA's Andrew Wilson publicly deems a game's launch as "unacceptable," questions about the next game's stability will certainly come up.

hahaha.... this is extremely hard to believe. From experience on previous Battlefield titles I won't be getting this one. And it will be nice to see if they hold true to their word. I'll keep an eye out on this after release and see what the interwebs has to say.

Fairly certain that's how every company would respond to that question before a launch. It's not like they going to say, "nah, its going to be broken, but we going to release anyway and fix it later."

There's something oddly amusing about it being newsworthy when a game is expected to work at launch
