Battlefield: Hardline
19 March
The latest in the Battlefield series takes the series in a bold new direction. With Visceral at the helm, the creators of Dead Space, you can expect excellent sound design and tight control added to the brand that is Battlefield and a new Cops & Robbers dynamic changes the typical Battlefield narrative completely. Multiplayer is of course the major selling point too but these additions stand to make Battlefield: Hardline are far more rounded experience than previous series entries. All remains to be seen when the game hits PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One and PC this week.
