No, it's EA Fault. EA told DICE to rush the game out. Not only on PC but all platforms.

It doesn't matter who's fault it is,cause who ever wins WE lose !

Honestly we shouldn't be worried at all. ...Reason being is that BF4 was rushed out the door to beat CoD, plus they made versions for PS3/4 Xbox360/One, and PC. The DICE team had too much on their plate to properly implement AMD's Mantle. Thus, this delay isn't AMD's fault, it's DICE's,

You are wrong, EA's fault is he wanted to sell it fast,before new COD hits the market. So people wouldn't buy that ****, not like this aint ****:) And who the **** cares about mantle anyway 😀

Knowing DICE they will manage to screw this one too,just like they did with BF4. AMD should choose a developer that knows how to make a game/optimize ... not DICE.

They´re choosing DICE because of BF4; BF4 is a big thing and what better way to begin. Only if they didn´t fuked up BF4....

Proof?

I think all the lawsuits by EA shareholders are proof enough.

Oh please, don't you know EA? it's pretty obvious that they are behind this, specially when they are the publisher But there you go: http://bf4central.com/2013/11/ea-pushed-battlefield-4-quality-control The reasons behind the rush are so EA, no one should be surprised, NO ONE.

DICE is EA and has been for years, you don't think DICE knew the deadline for bf4 years in advance? The devs have already said they ****ed up building a engine and game for 5 platforms ranging for years old hardware to consoles that were not even released and then of course pc's was a ****ing huge task that to be fair turned out pretty well. I have zero technical problems after the latest patch and the only issues remaining are balancing ones which will be sorted.

Well Dice was stupid enough to sell their soul to EA and greed has its price.. But then again Mantle is only 3-4 months in the Dev scene, so if its 1month late it won't be the end of the world. 🙂

that proves nothing, it's just some tester guy who probably knows nothing about what EA did and what DICE did about releasing the game talking. That's not a reliable source. BF4 release date was announced so long before the release. What you're forgetting here is that BF4 is a massive MP game and those launches always go awry. Look at any big MP game launch. They're all the same. You can't do anything about it.

No this is why the Publisher should have no freaking say in when a game is released, IT should only be released when the dev's say it ready. Look at the countless games EA published that they put release dates on only for the day to come and we get broke games. This is why I dont like EA no more. Developers say when the game is ready not the Publisher and there stock holders.

Yeah, Mantle, future dlc, what next? lol at ea smacking them upside the head to get their game fixed though, and shame for us that bought premium now have to wait on the incompetents before we get the maps we paid for, no surprises there though. and the biggest lol at the ultra terrain deco. classic dice trolling. got patch?

That would result in even worse abuses with devs just putting projects on hold forever and milking publishers dry til they go bankrupt. Obviously publishers pushing for unrealistic release date is not good but remember who actually pays the bills for the devs while they work on projects for months. Once you think about how the money flows, final say going to publisher is the least problematic solution.

no matter when you release a game like bf, it will come with bugs, fact. And what do you mean publishers shouldn't have a say? Of course they should, it's their money, you realize gaming business is all about money? They're not in it for fun.

Lol @ foolish apologists in every thread. Anyway, BF4 will probably make or break this API. For their sake I hope it works very well out the door.

Apologists? It's a fact. Every big online launch is a mess. Yet people still expect these things to work flawlessly. It's impossible to do, no matter what resources you have.

Yeah sure every online game launch is a rushed mess which crashes frequently.

Well Bf4 need more fixes ( actually i have not get one single crash in game, only sometimes china rising is not recognised when i want enter a server with maps from it ). I have only buy it 2 weeks ago, i had too much work going on the end of the year for play anyway. EA, Dice have say they have stop all other work untill it is fixed. Add to this it is better to get the game fixed before introduce Mantle ( or then you will get a bad publicity for it, if the game is still broke ). The patch was expected to be released late december.. it is pushed to january.. not a big deal... Anyway, if you want see Mantle, watch the video of Oxyde on YT. Or wait CES where a full set of games should demo it..

It's hard to belive that DICE,can finish under EA made deadline for Mantle, and probobly Nvidia will face the unstable fps,etc. hard to belive that the patch won't be patched for 3x atleast to make it,work. But good to see that AMD developing something new, but meantime if they could put more effort to driver writings,i would be one who would run to shop and get a VGA from them!
