Ontwikkelaar DICE krijgt regelmatig de vraag of we Battlefield: Bad Company 3 ooit mogen verwelkomen. Vorig jaar liet men al weten dat de Bad Company-franchise zeker niet dood is en dat Bad Company 3 een keer gaat gebeuren. DICE-baas Karl-Magnus Troedsson is echter verbaasd dat veel gamers liever Bad Company 3 hadden gezien tijdens de afgelopen E3 dan Battlefield: Hardline.
Volgens Troedsson is DICE zich er zeker van bewust dat er veel vraag is naar een nieuwe Bad Company. Toch is men er nog niet helemaal uit wat fans zo geweldig vinden aan Bad Company. Troedsson:
We hear those comments as well and see them. There were some people who were saying, ‘why are you building Hardline? You should build Bad Company 3 instead.’ But there’s one thing that lingers with Bad Company that we’ve been asking ourselves: what is it that the people really liked about Bad Company?Zit jij te wachten op een nieuwe Bad Company? En dan vooral vanwege de humor? De destructie? De vrijheid? Laat het weten in de reacties!Some people say they found the multiplayer controls faster and more direct. Some people liked the single-player and the characters and the humour. People love different things about it. It’s starting to almost get to that place where, if we were to make a sequel to Bad Company, what would than even imply?
It’s scary to go back and try to remake an old fan favourite when actually no-one can really put their finger on what it is people love. Bringing back the characters and creating a great single-player out of that, sure, I can understand that. But some people say this: the Bad Company 2 multiplayer is the best you’ve ever done. Okay, why is that? It’s hard for people to articulate what that is, which is actually hard for us. It would be hard to remake something like that. Can we do it? Of course. We have our theories when it comes to the multiplayer. It’s going to come down to, if people really want it and if a team inside my group really wants to build it, then sure.
