To also occasionally pair up the collectible with a uniquely placed tool allows players of all types to find new ways of approaching the encounter at hand, thus broadening the attraction to go looking for these collectibles. The payoff is somewhat simple-our letters-but we hoped they would give a little more life and depth to our world. The collectibles are principally for them. But there are explorers and completionists who must go everywhere and get everything.
Some don’t give two hoots about collectibles. What wider design goals does this serve?Įric: There are many types of players out there. Replayability is embedded into the campaign of Battlefield 5, from standard collectible items to bespoke challenges that require players to approach the same level in different ways to unlock unique rewards. Those are pretty much 1:1, although the damage vs AI makes them more deadly than in MP. Thankfully the weapon feel in BF5 is a real strength. But singleplayer is usually about a dominant player, since a K:D of 1:1 vs AI just isn’t very fun.
The philosophy behind this is key-multiplayer is about fairness and balance. But in the War Stories there aren’t always friends nearby. In MP this relies on health packs from allies. You’ll notice the health system is different to multiplayer. How much do multiplayer considerations (including environment reuse, weapon balancing, etc) affect the singleplayer design of a Battlefield campaign? As the game’s multiplayer portion updates over time, are there dependent factors in the singleplayer portion that require adjustment as well?Įric: Oh, so very much. I can’t even tell you whose idea that was, but it was a great moment. You have to be playing the game to come up with ideas as to what would make it sing.Īnother example would be the DICE animation team having us chase the document satchel in the storm in Nordlys. Usually, there were great ideas that would appear during development of those pieces-for example, the ad-hoc off-key song with Bridger and Mason toward the end of Under No Flag. When it was best, we were collaborating on experiences to blend gameplay and narrative together. Eric: We break each story into roughly 15-minute sections, with a story map guiding us to what each is about, both for narrative and gameplay.
