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 Hardline for PlayStation 4
Battlefield Hardline for PlayStation 4 moves the series from international warfare to police investigations, armed robberies and chases. In the episodic campaign you play Nick Mendoza, a young Miami detective who uncovers corruption in his own surroundings during a drug case. Missions combine observation, arrests, firefights and vehicles. The story later travels beyond Miami and deals with revenge, betrayal and the boundary between officer and criminal.
With a scanner and police files, Nick marks suspects, evidence and alarms. Known wanted people can be arrested alive for additional progress. An arrest starts by showing the badge, after which you must keep several opponents under control without someone unexpectedly reaching for a weapon. If stealth fails, Hardline shifts to the guns and destructible environments of Battlefield.
The original multiplayer set police and criminals against each other in game types built around vaults, vehicles, hostages and loot. The campaign remains the part that can be played without a current network service. Server operation, Battlelog, old statistics and downloadable packs are not promised as available. This product page covers the PlayStation 4 version and does not attribute features from other platforms to this 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 Hardline 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 Hardline
Visceral Games developed Battlefield Hardline together with DICE and Electronic Arts released it in March 2015. After several military Battlefield games, the team chose a crime story structured as a television series. Episodes have introductions and previews, while Nick Mendoza changes from a detective into someone seeking justice outside normal police channels. Frostbite 3 supplied the shooting, vehicles and destructible environments.
Development moved from late 2014 to early 2015 to incorporate feedback from the public test and further refine the campaign. The arrest system, scanner and case files were intended to enable another play style alongside direct shooting. In multiplayer, formats such as Heist and Rescue translated the police-and-criminals theme into team objectives without entirely abandoning Battlefield's classes, vehicles and large maps.
After release, Premium and four expansion packs appeared with additional maps, weapons and rules. This digital content is not automatically part of a used standard disc. The PlayStation 4 edition belongs to the newer console generation and shares the campaign with the other versions, but account-bound rights remain separate. Hardline is an unusual Battlefield chapter: the same foundation of squads and vehicles applied to crime fiction rather than a military front.
Similar games for PlayStation 4
On PlayStation 4, Battlefield 4 revolves around an international military conflict with tanks, helicopters and fighter jets. Hardline uses police cars, criminals, evidence and arrests. Both share Frostbite, classes and destructible maps, but Hardline gives the campaign the structure of a crime series. Battlefield 4 keeps larger military fronts and combined arms at the centre.
Grand Theft Auto V offers an open world on PlayStation 4 in which three criminals freely switch between missions, activities and vehicles. Hardline tells a linear episodic campaign from detective Nick Mendoza’s perspective. Both use robberies and chases, but Hardline combines them with first-person gunfights, arrests and tactical marking in self-contained missions.
Payday 2: Crimewave Edition puts players on PlayStation 4 entirely on the criminals’ side as they prepare and carry out robberies together. Hardline lets both sides be played in multiplayer and follows a police officer in the campaign. Payday deepens loot management and cooperation; Hardline adds vehicles, evidence, arrests and a fixed written story.
On PlayStation 4, L.A. Noire has a detective examine crime scenes and question witnesses in 1940s Los Angeles. Hardline is modern and uses its scanner mainly for tactical information and evidence. Both follow police work, but Hardline contains far more first-person shooting, chases and destructible environments.
Advanced Warfare takes players on PlayStation 4 through a future military conflict with exoskeletons and tightly directed action scenes. Hardline remains in a modern crime world and also lets objectives be approached with a scanner and arrests. Both offer fast gunfights, but Hardline gives more space to vehicles, police tools and the choice between quiet or violent action.
