There’s a mixture of the silly and the serious in here, but hopefully, just hopefully, you’ll come away having learnt a thing or two about DICE’s excellent new shooter. So, after asking you earlier this week whether there was anything you still wanted to know about Battlefield 1, I’ve compiled this handy Q&A that hopes to get to the bottom of some of the most pressing concerns. Because apparently those are things some of you care about. Like whether DICE treats pigeons with respect.
Grøndal favored colored material as he felt, "It's quite interesting and it sucks you in because it feels much closer when you see everything in color." Despite his personal penchant for colored visuals, his self ascribed "big inspiration" was Blueprint for Armageddon, a six-part audio documentary by Dan Carlin for the latter's Hardcore History podcast series.Battlefield 1 finally launches today, but rather than have another person (me) waste more of your time explaining whether it’s any good (it is), I thought it would be best to answer some of the most burning questions you still have about it. “I wanted to start off with all the footage and imagine that footage in our game with a modern take.” He specifically favored Apocalypse: World War I, a 2014 colorized French documentary, and World War I in Colour by Charles Messenger, a 2004 book of colorized war time photographs. “I wanted to see the pictures and I wanted to imagine how they'd look with a mobile lens,” Grøndal expressed when interviewed. He favored colored images of the war in an attempt to visualize what the soldiers lived through. Aleksander Grøndal, Senior Producer at DICE, prepared his own research into the war by looking at visual references. He later accepted the pitch after being convinced by a demo created by DICE. Patrick Söderlund, the executive at Electronic Arts responsible for overseeing DICE, originally rejected the idea of having a World War One shooter as he thought that it would not be fun to play. The story of the game is told through multiple protagonists, and explores the stories of unknown war heroes. According to Berlin, gameplay was the most important aspect when they were developing the game, and he promised that it would not be slowed down due to the game's historical setting.
According to creative director Lars Gustavsson, the setting was a concept for a very long time, and it had been the "dream" for the team to create a game based on that period. Melee weapons were reworked so as to introduce more depth to the system. The game was named Battlefield 1, since the team considered World War I as "the dawn of all-out warfare". According to game designer Daniel Berlin, the team picked World War I as the game's setting as they believed that the weapons and gadgets featured in that period of time suit players with different playstyles.
