It all comes down to how well BF1 launches. If it follows the standard DICE approach, BF4 will maintain a larger player base. When they do it right, BF4’s numbers will drop slightly more. Still, because of its richer content and ongoing updates, it should attract and retain players longer. DICE LA has made significant improvements to BF4, and it seems to have a strong, loyal fanbase that will likely keep the game alive for a while. As long as EA keeps the servers running, the game won’t disappear.
It seems like I’m agreeing with that view. Battlefield 1 feels more like a copy of Battlefront with a different setting and gameplay style. If you check the character animations and pacing, it still resembles Battlefront. Many players still enjoy Battlefront 3. Another point is I recently got Battlefield 4 and the servers are really busy, but I’m enjoying it.
I believe Bf4 will keep a bigger group of players than Bf3 once Bf4 launched, since more individuals choose Bf4 over Bf3, and many consider Bf4 to be a superior game compared to Bf3.
It's just $4 right now... I bet you spent more on worse games if you buy it now.
