Battlefield developer “underestimated console gamers”
Battlefield Bad Company was the first true Battlefield game released on the new generation of consoles, and the first one to feature a fully fledged single-player campaign.
Now developer DICE director Lars Gustavsson says in an interview with GamesIndustry, that they underestimated the console gamers, and thought that the hardcore FPS gamers always resided on the PC platform. Gustavsson said,
“I think one of our biggest mistakes with Battlefield: Bad Company.. was that when we started making it, laying out the plans, the view on the gamer was that it’s a console audience, and we need to treat them a bit more gently, since they’re less experienced,”
DICE will now take that knowledge and use it in the upcoming sequel, Bad Company 2, which will be released early next year on PC, PS3 and Xbox 360.
