‘Battlefield 1’ Storms The Beaches of, Y’Know, YouTube

  So, yup. Call of Duty’s sitting there on the time out step, thinking about what it’s done. Much like Resident Evil, the franchise has taken a turn for the worse; just with generic futuristic spaceyness rather than Evil’s generic TPS style. 

The Titanfall/Halo/Destiny type of FPS seems to be the way forward just now. It’s every-freaking-where. When the genre was new, we bitched that it was one great samey mass of World War Two-flavored brown, which it was for the most part. Now, it’s a great mass of gleaming chrome spaceship corridors. That’s progress for you, gents.

As we saw earlier this week, the first Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare trailer drew a lot of hate for just that reason. It’s now the number 1 most disliked trailer ever on YouTube. So, y’know, there’s that.

It’s not all bad, though. Not for Battlefield 1, it isn’t. This one also dropped a reveal trailer recently, which recently became the most liked trailer on the ‘Tube. Over one million clicks of that happy lil’ thumb; we’re talking Bieber levels of fame.

Why did it do so well in comparison? Give it a watch and decide for yourself.
