  • DICE Doesn't Understand Fun - Studio Unsure Why Fans Like Battlefield: Bad Company

    DICE is clueless as to why fans liked to play Battlefield: Bad Company. In speaking with Eurogamer, Karl-Magnus Troedsson explained that they keep hearing the fans calling for a new Bad Company game but they're apparently clueless as to why.
    "We take all this into account when we think about the future, and do franchise strategy. But there's one thing that lingers with Bad Company that we've been asking ourselves: what is it that the people really liked about Bad Company?

    "Some people say they found the multiplayer controls faster and more direct. Some people liked the single-player and the characters and the humour. People love different things about it. It's starting to almost get to that place where, if we were to make a sequel to Bad Company, what would than even imply?

    "It's scary to go back and try to remake an old fan favourite when actually no-one can really put their finger on what it is people love. Bringing back the characters and creating a great single-player out of that, sure, I can understand that.

    "But some people say this: the Bad Company 2 multiplayer is the best you've ever done. Okay, why is that? It's hard for people to articulate what that is, which is actually hard for us. It would be hard to remake something like that. Can we do it? Of course. We have our theories when it comes to the multiplayer."


    Despite Toredsson providing a few examples, he's still not sure why fans enjoyed the series. Anyway, does this case of being oblivious mean we won't see a Bad Company 3?
    "Well you'll have to wait and see," was Troedsson's cryptic response.

    "The Bad Company sub brand is something we hold very near and dear. We'll take that into account when we think about the future.

    "It's never dead. You can always revive it, as with any TV series, movie or IP. It's going to come down to, if people really want it and if a team inside my group really wants to build it, then sure."

    A movie or TV series...
