Der er ingen tvivl om at EA og DICE's Battlefield 1 er blandt de mest populære skydespil på markedet lige nu, men spillet har sjovt nok ikke fået luft under vingerne som eSport. Det talte vi lidt med EA's Peter Moore om i Paris, og her indikerede han at Battlefield 1 meget snart vil blive en stor eSport.
"Yes, you're going to see a lot more this year, as again back to my first point, we start to think about how do we build modes into a game like Battlefield, a first-person shooter game, you can't just... Battlefield is a big sprawling game, it's very strategic and what you need to do it tighten up the map and have less players playing, so you have faster action, and so we recognise the work we need to do on a development basis so from that perspective there is stuff we need to do there."
Derefter spurgte vi om han mente at der overhovedet var plads til Battlefield-serien som eSport, når nu der er mange skydespil der kæmper om plads og opmærksomhed.
"Yeah, I think so, oh absolutely. Battlefield in 2016 was the number one shooter in the world, so you know there are other shooters obviously, but I know there's shooters that have maybe got out out ahead of us, in building out their competitive gaming strategy but I guarantee we can catch up. Our Dice studio in Stockholm is very familiar with what need to happen to make Battlefield a competitive gaming game and we'll get there."
