Frank Gibeau of Electronic Arts recently went on the record at GDC about the upcoming battle between the Call of Duty & Battlefield franchises. It’s been a long and raging war between the two first person shooters, with the Call of Duty franchise reaping in the lions share of the rewards. But, Gibeau of EA Games, thinks that this is the year that Battlefield finally surpasses Activision’s juggernaught, and for good reason: Frostbite 2.
By now we’ve all seen the videos surely, and if not you need to. Because the the gameplay footage that is shown in the latest gameplay trailer from DICE looks to be light years ahead of anything that has been seen from either Infinity Ward or Treyarch in recent years.
“We’re going to own what we do because we’re going to leapfrog the category by introducing a whole new set of technology that’s brand-new. The Frostbite 2 technology is going to help us do things in games and shooters that haven’t been done before and will be tough for the competition to match.”
