Same thing, this is a piece of art fron DICE, and no matter how much you armchair developers complain, I hope they don’t touch it. Their vision, their game… either buy it or don’t > > Best way to explain it. People need to realize this. Not at all a good way to explain it. I like Poolshark’s posts, and I honestly could not care less about the woman’s voice, as it won’t affect my experience one bit. But implying that art is above criticism simply because it is the artist’s “vision” is way off base. Artists open themselves up to criticism by their very nature. Film, literature, even a painting for sale at an art festival, are all works of art… and there are many examples of each being critical and commercial failures, based on individual elements that may not work the way intended, poor choices during the development process, rushed decision making, or maybe everything was developed exactly as intended and people simply did not like it. Video games face even more criticism than other forms of art. Look, I agree that video games can be works of art. But the largest factor for those that argue against video games as art is the fact that the contemporary “artistic elements”, such as visual styles, sound design, and narrative, are simply borrowed from other mediums. What makes video games unique to other artistic mediums is the user interface, how the story progression, art design, sound, etc. integrate with the gameplay mechanics and the end user experience. Meaning that video games, more than any other medium, are reliant on the end user to fully realize their vision, whatever that may be. Meaning that, without a gamer, there is no game. That doesn’t mean that every individual gamer’s input, wants and needs have value and should be catered to. It is also my opinion that the whole thing with the woman’s voice is way overblown and will not detract from the gameplay experience in any way. But I believe this statement is fundamentally incorrect. Sorry for the rant. ---

There is definitely some give/take, but overall devs have a harder time going away from what they see for a game. I have seen this. Some are more accepting than others ---

On BF4, the voice off “we lost objective Charlie” puts in the mood and immersion. In BF1, woman quiet voice “you lost object A” “Don’t worry, be happy” Brief, if woman voice for BF1, more intensity or more character. Not need an air hostess for us briefing. Thanks. ---
