EA DICE Manager: We're Not Just a "Battlefield Factory"
- Thread starter Andy Chalk
- Start date
Well I, for one, don't mind whether or not DICE becomes a Battlefield factory (providing, of course, it keeps the company afloat (which appears to be the case so far)). Now, I've loved every Battlefield game I've played (especially the Bad Company series). In fact, I'm still hoping for a Bad Company 3 announcement...but regardless, I've been happy with their work so far. If they maintain the trend of releasing Battlefield games that I enjoy playing while keeping new, different, innovative game releases few and far between, then good for them, I say.
And for the record, no, I have never played Mirror's Edge. Am I likely to play it in the future? Possibly, after all, I did find it interesting at the time of release. Will playing it sway my opinions on DICE's "assembly...liney-ness"? No, it most certainly will not.

Totally agreed they're not just a Battleifield factory - they're a DLC factory. There, I said it.
What's wrong with your battlefield?Charcharo said:I really hope they do something else. Mirrors Edge 2 sounds cool.
Off Topic: Battlefield 3 was the worst purchase I ever had. Does not work
OT: I do want Mirrors Edge 2. I recently got Mirrors Edge 1, and while it's not one of my favourite games of all time ever, it's still a nice, flowing game.
I don't think it has been said enough so Mirror's Edge 2, make it, make it now.
Although I'm afraid that if EA ever allows DICE to make a Mirror's Edge 2 it will have co-op or some other totally unnecessary multy player crap forced into it. But I like to fantasise that it stays single player only, runs on frostbite, has way longer story, less bloom and did I mention no multy.

*Snerk* No, it won't.Mikeyfell said:
OT: Right. DICE... Who are you again? Yeah...I only played Mirror's Edge once, so...have fun polishing dem guns!
Since no one else is going to say it, let me just point out that a lot of people would be really happy if you would just make Mirror's Edge 2 for us. Until then, Battlefield is all you have.
Wow, How fragile is his ego?
I don't think it matters if he only makes one game series until it loses popularity. It's steady business and means work for the company.

Nah, kill the story all together. It was nearly the worst story in video games and it messed up the real game.Chatboy 91 said:
No dialog in the entire game. Ever. Just elevator signs, news stories and PA announcements.
Stop cops from using assault rifles on unarmed messenger girls ... by shooting her in the back.
Kill the publisher that insisted on helicopter gunships by dropping him from one at 10k feet. Then shoot him. With an assault rifle. Two clips.
Allow third person view.
Allow user to set a mark for their foot to hit and trigger a jump. Then you aren't jumping while being half a yard off the mark because of FPV.
Let the users set goals in the city.
Drop a bag off and have someone else pick it up co-op style (see MP below).
Player A drops a bag after having done a speed run to the end point. Offer it as a run for others, then completed runs can equate to bags held.
User made maps.
Since the miserable bastards at EA cannot think without saying "multiplayer" have relay races.
Hand the bag off to the next guy in your team.
Then run back and get another one.
Run as many teams at once as possible.
User made maps once again. Both abstract and the Shining City.
Allow video capture of same.
No murder or guns. Except when shooting EA personnel. That is always fine.
Have all NPCs wear EA badges. Shooting directly into the badge drops two more EA personnel to shoot. Score!
Sell EA to damned near anybody. Fire that jerk il presidenta and his stinking minions. Scuttle Origin. Become non-evil. Stop making everything suck.
Yeah, that'll do it. More next week. Damn it's Monday morning.
More on Tuesday then.
