Battlefield Origins: Designing 1942

[CptainCrunch]

From Game Informer:

Sometimes hoarding is a good thing. On our recent trip to see Battlefield 3 in Sweden, DICE veteran Lars Gustavsson dug through his office and unearthed the original Battlefield 1942 design documents. Watch as he shares memories of DICE's first big shooter, reveals features that were cut from the final version, and talks about his favorite Battlefield maps with Game Informer content manager Matt Bertz.

Its always interesting to see the things done for previous games and what made it and not.

Yeah, but he's one of the people taking BF in the wrong direction. He did another interview where he claims "big maps and too many vehicles" were NEGATIVE aspects of the BF series.

Why are they still bragging about 43 after they know they shafted the real vets,Its like punching yourself in the face:shakehead:.

Its clear the audiance they talk to now is just consoles, even in a remembur the old day tribute.

Properly designed large maps where combat is focused around several objectives and spawning not as painful as it is in PR, definitely CAN work, but nobody has done it yet.

Because of the audience the interview is for. You answered your own question. Game Informer is 90% console games. Also, it doesnt change what 1943 was in terms of a game.

No. Its the target audience. They are not all console, but PC gaming mags are pretty much dead or bought out and are not very good. If most your audience are console gamers, youre going to talk console as well.

If you go back and look at the other Game Informers, there is a lot of PC talk, moreso than console.

Ive been thinking, you shouldnt try to like the game Rambo. I think you will do better if you hate it to the core and then talk about the stuff you are excited about.

Try that for a little bit and lets see what happens.
