BF1 Devs Created a Really Destructive Environment, Want To Surface That the War Wasn't Just Trenches

Battlefield 1, or BF1 for short as it's going to be chosen by many fans from now on, certainly had an enthusiastic response to its reveal. The YouTube trailer is now budgeted 30 meg views, almost 10 one thousand thousand more competitor Phone call of Duty: Space Warfare.

Withal, that just means gamers are even more eager to larn more details on BF1. Luckily, Gamespot recently posted a thorough interview with DICE's Pattern Managing director Lars Gustavsson and there are some juicy tidbits to highlight.

Fans of the destruction first introduced with the Bad Company spin-offs will be happy to know that, subsequently being toned down in games like Battlefield 4 and more recently Star Wars Battlefront, it seems to be dorsum with a vengeance.

We're even so holding dorsum some elements of what nosotros're doing, simply as a whole, we accept tried actually hard to ensure that this is a really destructive environment. But every bit you lot heard during our presentation, 1 role player controlled the dreadnought [Imperial Navy battleship] and was levelling unabridged levels. A battleship can demolish unabridged shorelines.

I really hope players will appreciate information technology.

Another attribute highlighted past Gustavsson is that Earth War I was far from being confined to trenches, which is something that the developers want to surface via gameplay.

Nosotros're trying then difficult to treat it respectfully. Nosotros want to depict the era, but with the purpose of building fun gameplay with variation. In the terminate, it'due south entertainment, we're not trying to brand a statement.

Nosotros do want to surface the fact that there is more to the war than trenches. It's something that dawned on u.s.a., and I recall information technology's going to be interesting for players as well equally they get to play it. Trench Warfare was simply a small part of information technology. The fights in the deserts, the fights up in the mountains of Italy--there were and then many things that I, at least, hadn't heard about.

Hopefully it will broaden their horizons with what took place.

Battlefield 1 volition launch on October 21, though you'll be able to play from October 18 with an Early Enlister edition. Expect to see gameplay footage at EA's E3 Showcase, scheduled for June 12th at 1PM PT/9PM BST.
