EA Is Rethinking
How Games Treat The Star Wars Universe |
Polygon.com has an article
that provides some insite to the development of the new Star Wars Battlefront
game that is due out in 2015. The recently announced Star Wars: Battlefront will
be the first in a series of games that aim to rethink how games treat the Star
Wars universe, said EA's games label Patrick Soderlund.
"The most
important thing for me is that we take the Star Wars license and come up with
games where peoples' jaws drop," he said. "We need to do with this what [Batman:
Arkham Asylum] did for the Batman license."
The first announced title
under EA's recent agreement with Disney to make Star War games is the new Star
Wars: Battlefront game announced during E3.
Soderlund said there wasn't
much he could tell me about the game, which is being developed by Mirror's Edge
and Battlefield developer DICE.
"We're looking at the old games. We have
access to everything that was done during the LucasArts era." "It's going to
take awhile," he said. "We just announced the license and showed a sneak peek of
Hoth. The speeder and the AT-AT will be in [the game] for sure."
DICE is
working on the game because after EA landed the deal, developers from the studio
came to him to ask to make it, Soderlund said.
"I didn't think they
wanted to build it," he said. "I thought they only wanted their own IP. But it's
a really good fit."
The team working on the new game will be looking at
everything as they work on this new title, he said, including the work put into
Star Wars: Battlefront 3 before it was canceled.
"We didn't toss anything
out," he said. "We're looking at the old games. We have access to everything
that was done during the LucasArts era. But we do want to take our own
stance."
Patrick Soderlund gave us a good feel of what is going on behind the scenes
of the new game. Move information to come as news breaks. |
