To celebrate the upcoming beta for the Bad Company 2 multiplayer, a new trailer was released by DICE. However, that's not really the point of this news post or the point of the latest PlayStation Blog entry. The folks at DICE, specifically Marcus “Noken” Johansson, discuss in brief (http://blog.us.playstation.com/2009/11/battlefield-bad-company-2-creating-the-trailer/) what it took to create the new trailer.
After showing a short test version to the team I got the green light to make the trailer. But how do you capture this kind of stuff? Well, what I like the most about Battlefield: Bad Company 2 is that we can show actual gameplay, so instead of staging scenes, I’ve been working with material recorded during our daily studio play tests.
After we’re done with our daily tests, we can replay the rounds over and over until we find the scenes we’re looking for. This way people can be sure that the game trailer they’re looking at represents the game they will get to play when it’s out.
So I flew around the level with my free cam, looking for some infantry fighting, some tank battles and of course some really cool destruction. After I was done capturing and editing, the sound team added the sound and music to set the mood and tone of the movie.
And for those of you who have not yet seen the trailer, be sure to check it out after the jump!<!--more-->
