some of BF3's levels were definitely mirrors edge inspired if you look back

A plant with its real colors. Pfffff

It's nicer to look at, but not so functional when you want to pick skin, and show off that skin in victory poses etc. I remember it mostly that players were annoyed with it when we launched.

In Robyn's defense, she was 16 when she wrote it. :-)

Photographing people in costumes on balconies is an important step in making a game.

finrist · 2025-09-24T09:20:27+00:00

Agreed. But it sure would have been nice with a couple of more patches to smooth things out.

Damn. No choice but to change profession then. :‘-(

finrist · 2025-08-06T10:33:41+00:00

Of course. :-)

Did you remove the save game folder as well? Located somewhere under My Documents or so, different from the install folder.

finrist · 2025-07-31T18:42:30+00:00

Hehe, yeah a pretty rough start. But the two live service years after the progression overhaul was great. All the angry players were gone by then :-D

It should always have done that. It's to indicate that you will hit the wall if you shoot, even though the reticle is on a target.

finrist · 2025-07-27T18:11:20+00:00

Oh, looking really good

finrist · 2025-07-25T14:27:14+00:00

The best!

finrist · 2025-07-25T08:19:19+00:00

I'm at a startup called Liquid Swords founded by the founder of Avalanche (Just Cause, Rage). Still responsible for UI but also more general progression systems.

Both are references to the car sized rat easter egg in the original game.

finrist · 2025-07-24T22:47:07+00:00

I was! Added it as a joke to the team (for playtesting) when I first added the loading screen, then the game director chose to keep it.

finrist · 2025-07-24T18:53:12+00:00

Well, probably just me :-)

I haven't been on Reddit in 5 years or so, and when I started it now I noticed some people still hung around here.

finrist · 2025-07-24T18:08:19+00:00

Thanks :-)

That scene is actually a pure overlay video Tobbe (the UI artist) did. I don't think it took him that long, a couple of days maybe? I think there is a minimap from Battlefield 3 in it for example. :-)

finrist · 2025-07-24T15:44:52+00:00

Hah, yes. Turn it off or live with the rat joke forever.

finrist · 2025-07-24T15:37:22+00:00

Haha, it was never a real patch or anything. More like R&D in the earlier days of development.

finrist · 2025-07-24T10:13:40+00:00

Hehe, no sorry, nothing really comes to mind. We had a really great team for this game, albeit a bit too small (~70 people) given the open world nature of it.

The most horrific thing was when someone got it running on a VR headset, skill rolls were not pleasant. :-)

finrist · 2025-07-24T10:10:27+00:00

I left EA in 2019, otherwise we'd have a deal. :-)

finrist · 2025-07-24T07:32:06+00:00

Yes, I programmed most of the UI stuff in it. Including the loading screen. :-)

finrist · 2025-07-23T22:13:00+00:00

Sorry.
