Battlefield 4 gets a DLC-packed re-release on October 21

By Adam Rosenberg Published October 8, 2014

Remember Battlefield 4 and how it didn’t really… work at launch? Well that’s not an issue anymore. And to celebrate that fact, Electronic Arts is re-releasing the game in Premium Edition form, with all add-on content included as part of the game’s season pass packed in. It’s a $60 package that hits retail on October 21, 2014.

Interestingly, the game is listed for release on PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Windows (via Origin), and Xbox One, but not Xbox 360. EA confirms that’s the case, and we’re waiting on an official statement right now regarding why.

Battlefield 4 Premium Edition is effectively the same as the core game plus a subscription to EA’s “Premium” season pass. In addition to five DLC add-ons — Second Assault, China Rising, Naval Strike, Dragon’s Teeth, and the upcoming Final Stand — the season pass also includes priority access in server queues for multiplayer matches, bonus personalization items (camos, dogtags, and whatnot), and 12 bonus Gold Battlepacks, which are grab bags that award players with customization items for both their soldier and their weapons.

So while you might not be able to play Battlefield: Hardline again in 2014, you’ll at least have the opportunity to engage in some epic-scale multiplayer warfare on the day the upcoming game was originally set to come out. Battlefield 4 Premium Edition arrives on October 21.

Phantom Blade Zero hands-on: An extraordinary game with unbelievable combat that I can’t get enough of

Every fight feels like a beautifully choreographed martial arts movie, except I'm the one controlling every move.

We have had a considerable number of high-profile game releases this year, but none so far have had as much hype behind them as Phantom Blade Zero. The source of all that hype was a 2023 trailer highlighting its fluid kung-fu-derived sword combat. Considering that, at the time of writing this piece, there are over 700,000 concurrent players on Steam alone, on a weekday no less, I think it's safe to say that the hype has converted into gamers actually showing up for the game. I have sunk around 10 hours into this game today, and so far, it has been nothing short of an absolute masterclass in action combat.

Two friends have used Claude to help bring the open-source PS2 emulator PCSX2 to a browser. Their project, TabStationToo, has been tested with games including GTA San Andreas and Final Fantasy XII.

The developers say Claude did most of the programming while they directed the work and tested the results. It’s still experimental, but games run locally without installing a desktop emulator.
