Battlefield 6 Reveal Trailer Map Leak and Other Leaks and Rumors
- Thread starter GameChanger
- Start date
I am not disturbed by the trailer situation, but all I can see is something absolutely wrong with DICE's marketing & coordination since the BFV reveal. They start to use that "Soon" thing as a reverse joke, but looks like they don't know what it really means.

Agreed, but it's worth noting that the strategy playing out isn't working for a lot of the fans, and I would imagine more so those who have been disappointed with the series these past few years. I would have thought in the current climate it's important to manage expectations as best possible, but that doesn't seem to be happening
This. Trolling your fans with "soon" (3 months wtf) was not a very good idea.
No, they're not following the PR plan I made up in my head so they should be fired.
/s
People really just need to chill the fuck out
I'm incredibly excited for the new game but I'll get the trailer when I get it. Plenty of awesome games dropping to keep you distracted till then and till E3 with all the other news and trailers.
Don't harass devs and especially those in CM positions that already have to deal with waaaay too much bullshit.

Absolutely ridiculous. Soon can mean three months. Soon can mean six months. Coming soon in film marketing can mean a year away, ffs. This absurd hype machine for a trailer reveal was created out of whole-cloth by "leakers", then fans turn their ire to devs when the made-up date passes. Smdh.
To be fair it's some leaker stringing the majority of people along and causing frustration. The simplest way to have done this would have been to set a date and build hype around the reveal.
I guess that's hard to do if you have internal indecision or complications that prevent a firm date. As ever, I look back to Battlefield 3 and the viral marketing they did that got tons of hype before anyone knew anything about the game. Today the industry is in a slightly different place and the release isn't being hyped as some titanic clash for king of the FPS franchises. But still, its something EA and DICE have got right before.

Yes soon can mean many things. But using it to generate hype can be regarded as trolling really fast. Imo you shouldn't troll your most loyal fans as they are the ones looking for any tidbit of information.
If you're mad because you thought a trailer was coming and it didn't come because of some random internet leaker you're an idiot. Plain and simple. And here comes the concern trolling about sales and marketing and other bullshit. Wait for the trailer. Watch the trailer. (Which won't even reveal much for the first one) Then talk about actual concrete things about said trailer whether you like it or not. But fuck off with the oh no my trailer didn't come. DICE is trolling me. I'm mad!
Grow up.
Grow up.
The only person potentially trolling in this situation is the leaker.
Yeah nothing surprising from todays EA earnings call. Just that they will show the game in June.
The way smoke is illuminated in those images looks like something out of a CGI trailer.
If it's a rocket smoke trail I guess it could be a pre-computed visual effect (like the Levolution events in BF4, such as flooding) even if the trailer ends up being 'in-engine'.
A Boston Dynamics's dog. 😳
So, maybe the rumor about the delay because of the satellite falling was true.

Just release the trailer already. Even a tease would be nice unless these leaks are exactly that.
The called it a full reveal no?
I'd expect June 22 we'll see everything and get a beta date.
Nah, EA play is in July so we will get the cinematic in June and gameplay in July.
No. It'll be a cinematic trailer, gameplay will be at EA Play a month later
The storm with the trees blowing in the city is from an UE4 demo done by a single guy aswell (I think he got hired by a developer).
Yeah seems just like a bunch of snippets of different things. i just want something tangible 😭
I can confirm this is fake. I recognized multiple clips, some from Battlefield 4, some from the Unreal Engine "Chaos Destruction" system trailer, and some from a hobbyist windy city demo video that was posted on Twitter a while back.
Would be willing to say there's a couple of potentially real gameplay snippets in there though.
If they took a bunch of footage from other games/demos to make it seem like a leak, there's no way they have access to real footage of the game. There's nothing real in this.
So someone spliced together a bunch of tech demos and projects from Unreal Engine artists for attention. Did they really think no one would notice?
