Marketing finally released the movie of the in-engine teaser we
created for Battlefield: Bad Company a while ago. This is the same
movie I showed at SIGRAD a few months ago as part of my Frostbite
presentation.
It is exclusive for Xbox Live Marketplace for now but it has already
spread to websites such as Xboxyde (SD version), Xboxyde (720p
version), Youtube and Google Video.
The HD version seems to have been quite heavily compressed, Im sure
some other site will release a better version pretty soon.
For the technically interested, yes this is real-time footage from
within our new Frostbite engine. It is a 720p direct feed captured
from a Xbox 360 devkit running at about 25 fps with no additional
offline post-processing or such.
Here a few interesting / funny initial comments about it that I found
on various sites and forums:
"omg that was awesome.. even my gf liked it lol"
"This is D.I.C.E we are talking about here. Rallysport Challenge
D.I.C.E."
"thats a bad ass trailer, best Ive seen in a while. Getting bit sick
of pre-rendered "wanna be" movie feature type of trailers telling me
nothing about game.lay itself. At leats in this one I know I can blow
up...everything :)"
"shit yeah!!!! i love all the battlefield games and my god i will
LOVE this one too."
"Hahaha, that friggin owns! Cant wait for this one."
"Very nice teaser! I wonder if this kind of humour will make presence
in-game though. I hope so! Anyways, it looks like a nice game, plus
well be able to blow up "anythang!" LOL"
"THAT was pretty damn impressive - its all the pics weve seen, but
really in motion, really smooth, with destructable environments - AND
its Battlefield, so its gonna be with lots of guys and vehicles...
love it, love it!
Battlefield is the second of only two francises I still love on PC,
and Im glad to really see the visuals (and hopefully also the
gameplay) jump with this one - good old DICE!"
"Well considering these are in part some of the guys behind
Rallisport 2, or so I heard, Im not really surprised it looks great.
RSC2 still is one of the best looking racer ever, even compared to
some next-gen ones."
"Yup, lead programmer for RSC series and BF Bad Company is the same
guy :)"
"Real-time greatness, finally the first next-gen Battlefield game."
Actually the lead programmer for Rallisport and BFBC isnt the same,
but there are quite a few key people from both RSC and BF2, myself
included, working on both BFBC and Frostbite. We have a very good
team, which I hope shows.
