This product is like new. At NexWave Games, like new means:
Additionally, all discs at NexWave Games are carefully inspected and assessed for quality. When discs arrive, we do not accept any that are so badly damaged that they are unlikely to work. We only accept discs with light scratches at most. Discs with scratches are then treated in our professional disc repair machine. By warming the disc and polishing it with soft brushes, these machines can remove a very thin layer from the disc. This removes the layer containing surface scratches and improves the disc’s readability. This ensures the disc works properly, even on consoles with ageing lasers that have difficulty reading games! Great news for the player.
Battlefield 1 for PlayStation 4
Battlefield 1 for PlayStation 4 moves the military shooter to the First World War. The campaign consists of separate War Stories with different protagonists, fronts and play styles. You control a British tank crew in France, an Italian Ardito in the Alps and a Bedouin fighter working with T.E. Lawrence. The game therefore moves between trenches, desert, aerial combat and mountain passes instead of following one soldier throughout the war.
Combat combines rifles with bayonets, early automatic weapons, gas grenades and heavy vehicles. In open areas you can mark enemies, choose a route and sometimes disable equipment before moving on. Other chapters closely direct a tank assault, a flight or a close-range confrontation. The self-contained campaign remains central to local play; the original network features and server availability are not promised to keep working indefinitely.
The multiplayer was designed for large teams, classes and vehicles on land, in the air and at sea. Operations linked several maps into a continuing offensive, while Conquest built broad battlefields around flags. The standard edition does not automatically include the later Premium Pass expansions. Old promotional codes and digital entitlements may already have been used and are therefore not guaranteed with this pre-owned PlayStation 4 disc.
Region and language
Our PlayStation 4 games are PAL editions and come with a Dutch or English box, unless stated otherwise. By default, you receive the version for the European market. We note it in the product details if the region is different or the box is in another language. In almost all cases, the game is playable at least in English, and often in the other five common European languages too.
Manual
Battlefield 1 for PlayStation 4 was originally released without a printed manual. This edition therefore does not come with a separate instruction booklet. Its absence does not mean that an item from the original packaging is missing.
Instructions for the controls and rules are provided in the game. Any additional leaflets or advertising inserts are not manuals and are only included if stated in the product details. We use the label “No Manual” for copies missing a manual that was originally supplied. You should therefore not expect a printed booklet with this game unless a special edition explicitly states otherwise.
The history of Battlefield 1
DICE developed Battlefield 1 and Electronic Arts released it in October 2016 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC. The title deliberately chose the number 1 to highlight the beginning of modern warfare, even though the game appeared much later in the series. Instead of a traditional continuous campaign, DICE presented short stories from different theatres and perspectives of the First World War.
The Storm of Steel prologue immediately places the vulnerability of ordinary soldiers at centre stage. War Stories such as Through Mud and Blood, Friends in High Places, Avanti Savoia and Nothing Is Written follow. Historical events provide the setting, but the characters and actions were dramatised for the game. This structure allowed DICE to show tanks, aircraft, horses and infantry within one campaign.
Online, Battlefield 1 built on Conquest and Rush and introduced Operations as a series of connected offensives. Later expansions added armies, maps and weapons, but that downloadable content is separate from a standard disc. The PlayStation 4 version described here is the original base game. The campaign can be followed without the old online community; network play, updates and account services remain dependent on external servers.
Similar games for PlayStation 4
Battlefield 4 takes place in a modern conflict on PlayStation 4 and follows one squad through a continuous campaign. Battlefield 1 divides its story among several soldiers and fronts from 1914-1918. Both combine infantry with vehicles and open combat spaces, but rifles, tanks and aircraft behave very differently because of the historical era.
Battlefield Hardline replaces war with an episodic police story featuring arrests and crime locations. Battlefield 1 chooses short war stories, larger fronts and early twentieth-century equipment. Both have a self-contained campaign and online classes, but Hardline emphasises chases and non-lethal arrests while Battlefield 1 shows combined arms and armies.
Call of Duty: WWII covers a later world war on PlayStation 4 and mostly follows one American unit through tightly directed missions. Battlefield 1 jumps between different protagonists and more often uses open battlefields with controllable vehicles. Both combine a historical campaign with network play, but their narrative structure and scale differ greatly.
Verdun focuses entirely on trenches and team battles on the Western Front. Battlefield 1 also covers deserts, the Alps, airspace and the sea and includes a narrative campaign. Verdun pursues a narrower, more methodical pace, while Battlefield 1 switches more quickly between classes, heavy vehicles and spectacular map events.
Star Wars Battlefront likewise uses DICE’s Frostbite technology, broad maps and infantry-and-vehicle combat on PlayStation 4. However, it lacks a traditional solo campaign and takes place in science-fiction locations. Battlefield 1 offers separate War Stories and historical weapons, giving the comparable scale a very different context and rhythm.
