Guys, it’s okay. It’s fine. When it launches next year, Battlefield Hardline will actually work. That’s according to Visceral’s creative director Ian Milham, who confirmed the good news to Game Revolution.
“What you’re basically asking is, ’˜Is your game going to work?’ and the answer is yes, it’s gonna work,” said Milham, when asked about the whole Battlefield 4 fiasco.
“We actually started on this more than a year before Battlefield 4 came out,” he went on to explain. ”We’ve been working with the DICE guys for a long time; some of our engineering work is actually in Battlefield 4 and things they’ve been doing since then. It’s in pretty great shape now and all that work is gonna come into what we’re doing.”
To be fair to Visceral, as Milham says they were developing a separate product from the troubled Battlefield 4, which ran about as well as a hobbled pig when it came out last year. Hardline’s lengthy open Beta was also pretty useful in for tying down technical issues.
“We already had one very successful beta, we’re going to have another beta on every platform we ship on. We take shipping a working game pretty seriously. So, yes, the game will work.”
We’ll see if these promises hold true when Battlefield: Hardline is released next year.
