The BF we really wanted Video
I thought this was a good video, going through some of the early 2042 Art, which clearly looks like 2042 could have been really cool. Of course, this is my opinion so its the BF i really wanted. Stil...
Early concept art designer :
So we have this cool very rough / rude mood, something that grip you to the core. We have two ambiances :
A battlefield / combat zone. You have combat wrecks, damaged vehicles, soldier in military outfits. Here the two variants for US and RU.
And the second ambiance is this climate crisis world, were the world itself look like a wreck. You have garbage, damaged building, flooding. Important storms. Hell why not tornado that destroy the zone.
It a unique experience. You fight both for your life and your country, but also to survive in this environment. Like the world because of the climate fell into a war.
EA staff :
" Mm... yeah.. but you know what would be really cool for a BF ? Remove all the wrecks, make the environment shinny and super saturated and glossy because everything will look fun. Like a cool fun zone to shoot and run.
Oh and those storms what if instead of damaging or reducing visibility etc, what if they cause like a hack/glitchof the HUD, because hacking is cool it's modern you know. Ho and this tornado what if it doesn't really suck and damage thing but you can jump inside for a crazy cool ride. Huh ?
Ho and yeah nooo the soldiers ... let's put some cool funny heroes you know like APEX or hollywood badass style. Kids will love it. Make them shout "what a time to be alive", aha soo fun isn't ?
Early concept art designer :
So here's my resignation letter.
LOL yeah I think that about sums it up!
Yeah, they really went in an odd direction at some point. Whoever came up with that should be fired. You cost EA and DICE millions, and you have a very angry customerbase.
