Der Entwickler scheint sich ziemlich sicher zu sein, dass BF3 der beste Teil der Reihe wird. Außerdem wird das Physical Warfare Pack nach dem Release für alle kostenlos zur Verfügung stehen.
Der US PS Blog hatte die Möglichkeit mit dem Executive Producer des Shooters, Patrick Bach, auf der E3 2011 zu sprechen. Das ganze Video-Interview zu Battlefield 3 findet ihr unten, die wichtigsten Aussagen gibt es hier nochmal in Textform.
Wie die PS3-Version gegenüber der PC-Version aussieht: “Our goal is to create a game that works equally on all platforms.The engine is designed to run smooth on the PS3 as well as the PC. So I think that the consumer will not see any big differences between the versions.”
Die Animationstechnologie, die DICE von der Fifa-reihe geborgt hat: “It actually creates a lot of difference from the motion of being on the battlefield. You will see other characters in the game moving around in a really lifelike way like in FIFA, which looks really, really good. Even though we have perfect control, it still looks amazing, and the same is also the fact for Battlefield 3.”
Wie DICE es plant das Spiel anders als Modern Warfare 3 zu kreieren: “We are not trying to be the same game. I know that there’s a lot of things that you can compare, and it’s a FPS, it takes place in modern day, and has a military theme. But in general, we’re making a battlefield game. We’ve always been making battlefield games since the first game, Battlefield 1942 back in 2002. We know what the formula is, so this is going to be the best Battlefield game we’ve ever built. So, I think it’s more up to what the consumer wants: if they want a deep military experience when it comes to infantry and vehicles; if they want destruction and they want the all-out 64 or 24-player war, then this is the game for you.”
Entwickler DICE gab jetzt außerdem bekannt, dass das Physical Warfare Pack nach dem Erscheinen des Spiels kostenlos auch für Nicht-Vorbesteller zu Verfügung stehen wird. Dennoch ist der DLC vorerst zeitexklusiv und wird erst später für alle Spieler verfügbar sein, Vorbesteller erhalten das Pack direkt am Release-Tag.
Der General Manager Karl Magnus Troedsson von DICE sagte auf dem Battlefield Blog: “I would like to start by clarifying that the Physical Warfare Pack is a time-based exclusive. If you do not pre-order Battlefield 3 at a retailer carrying the Physical Warfare Pack, don’t worry. We will unlock the contents of the Physical Warfare Pack for free to all Battlefield 3 players later this year. The Physical Warfare Pack will be available as a pre-order bonus all over the globe. Right now, the UK is the only country where it has been announced, but stay tuned to get constant updates on where you can pick this up in your country. And remember, if you do not pre-order, you will still get access to this content at a later date, free of charge. If you do pre-order, you will get access to it from day one.”
Back to Karkland ist der zweite Pre-Order-Bonus. Dieser wird zwar auch nach dem Release für alle herunterladbar sein, allerdings nicht kostenlos.
