We might not be able to see some Battlefield V gameplay footage yet, however, if what DICE has revealed is true then we might be facing the most realistic Battlefield title up to date. At least that’s what the creative director of the project believes.
Talking with Metro GameCentral, DICE Creative Director Lars Gustavsson talked about the development of Battlefield V and how it is going to be the most immersive title in the franchise so far. As he sees it, it won’t be just a game that pro players and streamers will get attracted to, but all gamers will love to come back to it for months and why not, years. He said:
I would say, on a high level, it’s the most immersive Battlefield to date. And with that we really mean that we always work to make you feel perceived realism – we never go for full realism – but it is being there on the battlefield with destruction fortification. It is that interactive battlefield with dragging soldiers, body revive, throwing back grenades, shooting out grenades; and then the movement set. So all of this together with the visual/audio-scape means the sandbox is more dynamic than ever. You don’t have to be the best twitch player to enjoy it – I’m turning 50 this year and I’m definitely not!
There’s more information that can be found within Gustavsson’s interview so make sure to step by Metro and read the whole thing. In it you’ll find more about what DICE wants to achieve with bringing more building and destruction to the game as well as how the dynamic environment will impact the overall gameplay experience.
Lars Gustavsson has also revealed that more footage of the War Stories will be revealed “in the near future”. This is most possibly E3 2018, where DICE intends to show the first gameplay footage of Battlefield V along with more news about its release.
