I går afholdte EA en større begivenhed kaldet "Investor Day" for deres partnere, hvor CEOP Patrick Söderlund afslørede, at han til at starte med var ret skeptisk over at lade det nye Battlefield-spil foregå under første verdenskrig:
"World War 1 wasn't the most obvious choice. If you look at what other partners in the industry are doing, they're going into sci-fi; we've had a lot of success in the modern military space. But we felt like there was a need for a change. When the team presented the idea to me of World War 1, I absolutely rejected it. I said World War 1, it's trench warfare; it can't be fun to play."
Udvikleren DICE nægtede dog at træde tilbage, og blev ved med at forsøge at overbevise lederene om, at første verdenskrig kunne fungere. Nu er traileren landet, og populariteten lader til at være skyhøj. Dog er Söderlund faktisk stadig skeptisk.
"We have to remember that so far, we have only shown one trailer. Yes, it's gotten a lot of success, but what's important is that we have to go back and make sure we deliver on the full promise of what Battlefield can be. And that we will do,.
Tak Gamespot.
