A Redditor's hot take on BFV's Marketing Campaign.

A-1 PM_MeYourArtwork 1309 points 1 day ago I think they should have kept the goofiness for spin offs like hardline I was really looking forward to a gritty meaningful ww2 game, and while I'm sure it will still be fun, it just doesn't have me as excited about it anymore since its seeming like it's gonna take enough creative liberties to feel like an alternate universe ww2 The PC crap I don't really care about, put girls in by all means it's a game but the silly face paint and kids action movie vibes I got off the trailer don't do anything for me, I was hoping for something more sombre in tone permalink embed eport reply -1 Timey16 1802 points 1 day ago ψ Here's my hot take, came to the conclusion with a guy on a Discord server I'm in working in the ad industry Battlefield V's ad was TOO honest. No I mean not in the way of gameplay, that is scripted to s---. I mean in terms of experience. Think about it: if you see gameplay of Battlefield shared or moments that are memorable... then it's stupid s--- like catapulting a tank with C4 to let it blow up a Jet mid air, or jumping out of a plane, sniping the pilot in another, then hijack his plane mid-air. None of these things are either authentic, nor realistic. Yet those are what ACTUALLY defines Battlefield games. Or running on top of a burning zeppelin, just to jump down right as it explodes. On the other hand, however people want the illusion of an experience. Thinking Battlefield games are authentic and historic makes yourself look more cultured, after all. Saying you like Battlefield because of it's historic portrayal of old wars sounds so much better than "I just want to smash jeeps full of C4 into tanks". So this is the illusion these games try to sell on a surface level. But it's neither the actual soul nor meat of the game. It is these trailers that keep this illusion alive, as the illusion pretty much doesn't exist anymore once you play online. But the continued use of that marketing still makes you think it is serious and authentic, even though it isn't A compa wants to feel young again... honest. But it would enrage their customers. Because it's not the illusion of an experience they want to be sold Because of this illusion, you HAVE to make your reveal trailer appeal to the core audience, and their expectations of this experience. It is them that generate the initial hype and bring the game to the attention of even more people But the Battlefield V reveal trailer... it didn't show historical authenticity or realism... it showed the silliness and chaos happening during your average Battlefield match. This is true to the spirit of the game, but not what the fans want to ee. They want to see thems game. Showing a s pr This is why the Battlefield Vt TV spots are often extremely lighthearted, quippy or outright stupid even for rather serious games. This is because TV spots appeal to the outside audience. Those that have no stakes in the everybody int TV spots now target tho before they decide whether or So yeah, the BFV trailer fails, because it was edited like a TV spot and doesn't work into the expectations of the franchise.

Yoko Taro's response to the Battlefield V controversy

The inclusion of females in Battlefield V seems to have ruffled some feathers around the web but NieR: Automata director Yoko Taro doesn't agree with the criticisms. In response to an article discussing the controversy, Yoko tweeted (translation via DualShockers): Meanwhile, in Japan battleships are made into beautiful girls, warlords are made into pretty boys loving boys, schoolgirls ride tanks, and anything you want
