BF3, 4, 5.... xx SP
Hi, i'm Michael.
Old gamer.
Working in advertising, sound design, post production, A/V editor, Emmy awarded. Nowadays senior A/V editor on prime time news and special report stories. whatever.
Not looking for job (yet... you never know. got any? ok, let's go straight to the point).
EA/BF 3 and 4 = amazing work, engine, marketing. (some say especially 3. not necesarilly me.).
I know you have a serious research dept. and so on.
Respect, but:
Make an EPIC Single player story. take this jewel from competitionand u'll be amazed on long (even medium) therm how marginal (aparently) target will turn to you. From cod, etc.
One could say: aww, bf vets didn't even talk about SP. right. beside vanity, they dont really have what to talk about. You have to be long and EPIC. Don't have to reinvent the wheel but leave CD:MW1 in the dust. not a piece of cake but can do. HL1/2 like.
Hard-core gamers, feed their imagination from MP&friends, but all the people need imersion, story, emotion.
Put it this way: bf5 = no SP. can u? No? GOOD. then, if u do it, don't do it just to get used to weaps, physics and HUD.
make a stand. make a story. make a legend.
This was for free. Your turn.
Regards, Michael M. I.
