Battlefield 1 PS4 Edition Review: A Dream Return to the First World War: Old Soldiers Remain Undead and Pick Up Guns Again

Battlefield 1 PS4 Edition Review: A Dream Return to the First World War: Old Soldiers Remain Undead and Pick Up Guns Again

In the golden month of October, Battlefield 1 was launched before Call of Duty 13, and unlike in the past, they did not disappoint us this time. DICE made the Frostbite engine famous for its super physical destruction effects through the trial of Battlefield: Bad Company 2. After the practice of Battlefield 3, they were familiar with the players' admiration for multiplayer battles and the criticism of single-player campaigns. The hastily launched Battlefield 4 made them realize that buying new year products would not bring good results. Obviously, DICE, after learning from its mistakes, let players see their terrifying strength.

While its old rival "Call of Duty" is going further and further on the road of science fiction, "Battlefield 1" returns to where the dream of shooting games began. In the game, whether it is sound effects, shooting feel, gun feedback, physical destruction effects, battlefield atmosphere creation, random weather system, picture performance and many other major environmental factors, or as small as lighting design, detail processing, and even every tree and the collapse of every wall, they all appear so natural, so immersive, and even so exciting.


Exquisite graphics and sincere optimization make "Battlefield" return to its peak
In terms of graphics, EA has gone all out this time. All previous EA works have made people deeply doubt Frostbite 3, but this time the performance of Battlefield 1 has indeed proved the strength of Frostbite 3. The oily and reflective, stains and sweat on the characters' faces are just right, not greasy and worthy of praise. The old-time buildings and battlefield environments of World War I are also well restored, and a few ancient music pieces are added to bring a full sense of immersion.
The overall graphics are much better than the previous "Battlefield 4" and last year's inexplicable "Battlefield Hardline". It can be said to be the leader among 3A games, especially the PS4 version of "Battlefield 1", the graphics are simply a complete win compared to other versions. What's even more gratifying is that Battlefield 1 is still very good in terms of optimization, whether it's loading speed or the intense explosion scenes with planes and cannons bombarding everywhere, the frame rate is also quite stable, which is rare for an FPS game. However, the bugs are still the same, although they are steadily decreasing, but overall they are still very EA.
The perfect multiplayer mode is not the "World War I" you imagine
The server is pretty good this time, and the official server rental function will be officially launched in November. The main gameplay of the multiplayer aspect is still the traditional gameplay of the series, and the overall style has not changed much. On the large battlefield with dozens of people fighting, EA's creation of large scenes, the setting of the battle environment and the entire macro battlefield atmosphere are quite in place. If you are an FPS player who likes to play large battlefield modes, then "Battlefield 1" must be your best choice. And it is well known that the hard disk capacity of "Battlefield 1" is very large, but the PS4 version of "Battlefield 1" only requires 42.7G. Compared with the capacity of more than 50G of other versions, the PS4 version of "Battlefield 1" can be said to have taken advantage of it.
The multiplayer online of Battlefield 1 is excellent, but it is not without problems. If the biggest highlight of Battlefield 1 is the addition of World War I, which makes the entire firearms and vehicles belong to that era, then its shortcomings are also the addition of World War I. First of all, although most of the weapons of the World War I era have been restored in Battlefield 1, most of the weapons of individual soldiers in the multiplayer mode are automatic weapons or semi-automatic weapons. Except for sniping, which requires pulling the bolt, the others are almost all bang-bang-bang. But in the context of World War I, pulling the bolt should be the norm in World War I. Moreover, even in World War II, the German army did not have a comprehensive semi-automatic weapon array, let alone World War I, which had just entered the era of hot weapons from the era of cold weapons.
At the same time, I believe that most players will expect that the excellent restoration of World War I guns in "Battlefield 1" can be used in multiplayer mode, thereby changing the rhythm of the entire game and making it more ruthless. However, EA did not do this and still maintained the usual rhythm of the series. In addition to guns, vehicles are also somewhat out of place. Almost every tank can be seen. Although tanks did appear during World War I, the actual number was very small and the tanks at that time were obviously not as powerful as those in the game in terms of quality, firepower, and durability. But these cannot be said to be the shortcomings of "Battlefield 1", but only some regrets. After the addition of the theme of World War I, the multiplayer of "Battlefield 1" also has some highlights that are restored appropriately, such as the Bu plane cannot hover, and the feeling of driving it is completely different from that of the current fighter. It can be said that the air units of "Battlefield 1" are far less powerful than those in previous works. They mainly play an auxiliary role, and the battles are mostly based on planes. Another highlight has to be the magical vehicle of horses. The blood volume of horses is much thicker than that of humans and the movement speed is very fast. Although encountering a submachine gun in a narrow scene will lead to certain death, it is still the first choice for many advanced players, and can be used to perform various gorgeous kills.
Even though the multiplayer mode of Battlefield 1 is not a perfect reproduction of the battlefields of World War I, it is already very good. If it is really restored, the gameplay of the multiplayer may be very different from previous works. For players, a very different gameplay may be a good thing to see, but for EA, the word "stability" is the most important. If it fails, it will be a big deal.
The conscientious single-player mode is known to everyone who has played it. The single-player mode of "Battlefield 1" is much more conscientious this time. The traditional linear narrative single-player campaign that was boring and long and was too lazy to play was directly cut off, and changed into a series of short stories about some characters in each battlefield during World War I. The length is relatively short and the location and theme of each story are different. There are great heroes who are worthy of praise and tears, and there are also unknown dark knights. In the prologue, a series of epitaphs pull you into the history of World War I while also allowing players to experience the cruelty of war. This cruel feeling is particularly prominent in the PS4 version of "Battlefield 1", especially after the night falls, mixed with the slightly sentimental game music, as if you are in the midst of a war of artillery fire.
Although Battlefield 1 still has its problems to a certain extent, if we look at this game from a different perspective, this may be a signal of change for Battlefield. But no matter what, the products of the old era such as the Zeppelin airship, BA-20 wheeled armored vehicle, MK tank, M1911, Mauser C96 and Winchester rifle are what many FPS games that are always trying to reach the sky cannot provide for the time being. It can be said that this alone is enough to make players cheer.
The overall performance of Battlefield 1 is not only stable, but also brings some surprises to players. It is still the standard Battlefield, and it is still the standard 3A FPS game today.
