The lights are on
The first-person shooter has grown to become a dominant genre in modern gaming. With so many studios cranking out shooters, creating a unique identity has become increasingly difficult. When checking out Battlefield 3 in Sweden, we asked executive producer Patrick Bach if he had any thoughts about the current state of the first-person shooter genre. "It's all I think about," he said.
Check out the video below to hear him talk about the roots and evolution of the genre.

Every new thing I hear of this series makes me more excited. Looking good BF3! Oh, I get shivers just saying it.
I'll be sad when February is over. Because so will these videos.
Great video. I really believe that the FPS genre is in good hands with DICE.
its nice to know that there are game developers like this
well that's great that there making something else but that's as far as i'll go thay talk about BFBC2 and Medal of Honor both games were not all that and to make matters worse right after the games came out they were selling upgrades for the games...REALLY!!! Well there goes the Limited Edition you thought you were getting but EA has a bad rep on that and let's see what's next... im not going to hold my breath.
The reign of CoD is over.. everything comes to an end. Where one comes to an end someone or thing will flourish to new heights.
I'd watch the video if only the player would be friendlier... :(
I really think this is going to be a great game. The reviews will be high, but this game's sales won't be able to match the new Call of Duty game. Not to say that COD is better, the series has gotten progressively worse since COD 4.
might be next call of duty.... Dice seems to know what they're doing... i hope it doesn't turn out bad.
I really hope they don't make helicopters with as little health as they had in Vietnam. I would take them down with M1911s. I like how they are in regular MP but i would rather they had weaker main gun or make it have an ammo meter. Alt Fire is the best with a friend as the Pilot to take out tanks so i hope that's back.
