This is truly painful as someone who got into PvZ because of GW1. It was such an amazing concept that people outside the PvZ fanbase are never aware of. It was the last genre one would expect PvZ to tackle, and it worked... and then some. If EA actually *TRIED* to advertise BFN to make it more profitable, we might not be in such a bad spot. This really sucks.

The fan community is still thriving, and have been for a long time without new content. I’ve been around artists that show their appreciation to the franchise and introduced fascinating ideas about PvZ, such as OC’s, fan-stories, and more. I’m absolutely sure that even when fans move on to other genres, I’ll stay with PvZ.

I kind of expected this to happen. I liked the pvz shooters and this is disappointing. I feel like bfn needed another year in development. EA clearly set a impossible deadline meaning most of the content such as character variants needed to out cut out to make the deadline. What makes this even more upsetting however, is that you can see the love and work put into each of the games. If only bfn had another year in development I feel like the shooters would be doing much better.

I am not surprised, just heartbroken. The GW series was one of, if not my favorite fps game due to how unique and quirky it was. I had purchased GW2 on pc recently, and man... the servers are unplayable. Filled to the brim with cheaters and just dead servers in general.

It’s unfortunate, but I’m glad PC isn’t completely dead, it’s definitely playable now. I just wish they still read player reports, because even without a decent anti-cheat, these cheaters have a financial incentive to not cheat as compared to a F2P game facing similar issues, TF2 (losing accounts costs them money).

The original developers thought the sale to EA would bring greater things down the road too, and look how that turned out. PvZ Heroes has been dead in the water for years, BfN came out prematurely and died in its infancy, PvZ2 was a huge mess of conflicting updates until a year or two ago, and Adventures… we don’t talk about Adventures. PvZ was the first Tower Defense game I ever played, and it fostered a love of gaming as a whole that I still hold onto today. Still, that doesn’t mean I can ignore the facts - PvZ is hurting bad, and it doesn’t look good for our future. The beta for PvZ3 looks only marginally better than the shameless mess that was the alpha release, and there isn’t much else left if that fails. PvZ2 is already a major point of contention in the PvZ community to this day; PvZ3 bombing is almost certainly the final nail in the coffin for the franchise. Frankly, they’re trying to fix what is clearly not broken. PvZ was a masterpiece, but every game after has had that revolting tinge of EA greed that sucks the life outta you and your wallet if you play seriously. Even the mobile version is littered with those same terrible mobile ads now. If EA doesn’t sell the license or lay off soon, then I’m afraid that the series I loved so much as a kid isn’t gonna make it.
I still hope that we will get more not mobile exclusive PvZ games. I was never a big fan of mobile games with all the ads and microtransactions...

Personally, I like the way the characters look in BFN because it goes with me more cartoony design of the PVZ games, but I think GW2 was the best one. It combined a more cartoon aspect, without removing a character's personality.
I feel like this could all be traced back to the cancellation of BFN. It was clear that they had intended to keep the game going based on all the leaked content, but because the game was a flop, EA decided to pull the plug on the game. Still, I'm honestly surprised. I've checked all three PvZ shooters, and all of them are still getting new players, based on the number of no-plates.

Indeed, but yeah like you say I think there is a big gap in the marketing for a really good, really funny and silly 3rd person shooter - Popcap were definitely onto something 😊
I’m just more sad that here in australia you can’t even get a game, unless you play on 180 ping which makes the game almost unplayable IMO

Ah man, this really sucks. Pvz is my favorite franchise, especially the shooters, even bfn, and it sucks it ended like this, not even on a high note. I remember getting gw2 because I saw it on Amazon and played pvz1 on the ds. I instantly fell in love, then was super hyped for bfn, which despite all the things everyone said, I really enjoyed it and pvz will always remain my favorite game franchise.

Nope bfn was being worked on a low budget since this was the second of two games being worked on the first game being a Pvz free roam adventure game which most of gw2’s budget went to and bfn was the second game which was meant to be realsed far far before. In other words they were working with what they had entirely basicly and it was a low budget shooter desperate for money to make up from.

Lets be honest, PvZ gw2 was in a state of Rigor Mortis for a while. PvZ BfN had potential to be a really good shooter with more focus on the PvE aspect (can't really deny that they nailed those) And Gw1 is long gone. EA can't have a good multiplayer focused game for more than 1-3 years Like look at battlefields, battlefronts, PvZ shooters (rip)

I don't see why in the distant future a new studio couldn't be set up to make PvZ Shooter games, I don't think that's impossible, it's unlikely, but not impossible. A new company could buy Popcap from EA, anything could happen 😅 For example a new studio created Crash Bandicoot 4 - Crash 3 was made over a decade ago 😊 I think it's because I'm a very positive person, if it doesn't happen that's okay and you'll probably be right. I just think it's nice to look on the positive 'what if's' sometimes - life is too short to be looking at the negatives all the time. Plus I never think it's good to think your own opinion is correct and everyone else is wrong.
@PugsAreCool262

@@RedheadGaming you said that in a very nice way that many others probably could not but you provided a pretty good example like with Crash so it could possibly have a slim chance of happening. By time a new PvZ shooter comes out whether by EA or not unfortunately probably a lot of people would have moved on by then. And I do agree maybe I should’ve been a bit more passive rather than aggressive with my words. Another problem is a lot of kids who grew up with PvZ are getting older and going on to other titles like Call Of Duty, and with the current state PvZ is at I don’t think it will attract as much younger audiences than it did in the golden age of the franchise. So I’m assuming if Popcap/EA don’t release something that breaks the internet for PvZ, it’ll probably only go down from here until it hits rock bottom.
I hope EA is able to get their stuff together so we can get at least one more PVZ GW game that's actually good as a send off for this amazing series.

@@Otherface yea that’s kinda my point that’s what really really hurts bfn in the long run look at how many updates Gw1 and Gw2 got. But to say bfn didn’t have any flaws when it first began would be a lie. The characters themselves were orignally very broken heck some were demanded to be playable like nightcap and super brains while others were simpily just unplayable due to the more stronger high damaging classes. By the last update for bfn it felt mediocre and acually felt like the start of a game getting out of beta or alpha testing stages due to the update focusing on many of the problems with the characters themselves something that repairville was just trying to say but heck I don’t really much agree with repairville itself. The goal was proably to be somewhat like overwatch especially how easily comparable the game mechanics are. And they proably wanted to more copy and idea rather of think of a new unquie idea hence why most community feedback was ignored.

Dang I'm genuinely sad, these games were my childhood. It's so sad to see how one bad game ruined it all.
Such a shame people didn't give battle for neighborville the chance it deserved. I absolutely LOVED garden warfare 1, its ABSOLUTELY in my top 3 games of all time, but garden warfare 2 was honestly so much worse than garden warfare 1, and battle for neighborville came and fixed that issue! Super brains and imp RUINED garden warfare 2 for me, it makes playing plants a horrible experience unless you're using the busted electro pea or petrified cactus. Super brains was so unbalanced, he's the zombie's chomper class yet they made him an ACTUALLY good character. He doesn't die to drones or people on roofs, and he had tools to get into fights as well as escape them, he even has more health! then they reworked him in the final update but gave no further balancing to those changes so now he flys all around the map at lightning speeds at the price of making his secondary, which was unique for each variant, worthless. Imp on the other hand is self explanatory! Everything imp does makes the game impossible to have fun with, plants were already weak enough in GW1, what with foot soldier being the easiest to use and the most OP character in ALL 3 games, imp just rubs lemon juice and salt into the wound. But guess what fixed that? Battle for neighborville. (ignoring BrainBash) Super brains isn't OP anymore, and chomper is now a good character! Imp's "skill-kata" and gravity nade aren't as free anymore and his mech both got nerfed AND buffed. The running mechanic breathed a whole new feel into the game i never knew GW needed so bad! I would have still preferred variants over the upgrade system, but that was the ONLY problem the game had besides needing balance changes. I hope PvZ shooters aren't really "officially dead," I even doubt they are because no company would ever let a franchise die, they always bring them back to milk them for money eventually. But hopefully we won't have to wait too long for that.
