| 12s | when Battle Royale started to blow up we |
|---|---|
| 14s | recognized that this was a opportunities |
| 17s | is a new genre and it's a chance to |
| 19s | define that space we play games just |
| 21s | like everybody else and so we were like |
| 23s | if we're gonna do battle royale like |
| 24s | we're really gonna do it right we tried |
| 26s | our version of it right off the bat it |
| 28s | was an Talisa magic there to be a part |
| 30s | of a team that has their own personal |
| 32s | story to tell is absolutely amazing |
| 41s | everybody's really excited about what is |
| 44s | being worked on when it comes to legends |
| 45s | the characters would call them legends |
| 46s | because we knew very strongly that we |
| 49s | didn't want generic soldier characters |
| 51s | so many people have ownership with these |
| 53s | cares so many people are passionate |
| 55s | about these characters that everyone |
| 56s | puts everything they have into them |
| 58s | everyone digs to make them not a cliche |
| 60s | not boring not the thing you've seen |
| 62s | before the design team comes up with the |
| 64s | gameplay of a character a cool idea and |
| 66s | once we get that inspiration we'll dive |
| 68s | out until like different ways of why an |
| 70s | outside personality could fit that |
| 72s | character taking a set of mechanics and |
| 75s | turning it into a fully fleshed |
| 76s | individual and that's a really amazing |
| 79s | process to see it was very important to |
| 81s | me that the female characters looked |
| 83s | like they belonged in this universe and |
| 85s | wraiths in particular embodies a lot of |
| 87s | that for me she's mysterious she can get |
| 90s | up close and personal she can scare the |
| 92s | crap out of you |
| 94s | I've got everything you need |
| 97s | Squad play with our legends gives you |
| 100s | this opportunity to define how you want |
| 103s | to play there's lots of meta choices |
| 105s | beginning to match about what characters |
| 107s | you're gonna choose you're dealing with |
| 108s | essentially random people on the |
| 110s | Internet in any given fight you may |
| 112s | never see those people again but you |
| 113s | will see the characters again I can't |
| 115s | know who's looking through the eyes of |
| 117s | that character but I can fight against |
| 119s | my knowledge of the character |
| 120s | what have this legend that I've been |
| 121s | playing a lot lately they have a very |
| 123s | interesting tracking system which allows |
| 124s | you to hunt down opponents by seeing |
| 126s | their recent actions for the previous 60 |
| 128s | seconds and that lets you play a very |
| 130s | aggressive play style it's not just that |
| 132s | they have a tactical and ultimately |
| 133s | passive it's that those abilities and |
| 136s | those personnel combine into a fighting |
| 138s | unit that focus on the fighting unit is |
| 140s | really something we feel like makes this |
| 142s | be our guinea we have made something |
| 146s | that we think is incredibly fun and |
| 147s | special and really lose the genre |
| 149s | forward the big surprise is gonna be |
| 151s | respawning we couldn't make battle |
| 153s | royale that didn't respond it just |
| 154s | doesn't make sense we have a smart ping |
| 156s | system you get to ping a weapon devotion |
| 159s | here I can do that |
| 161s | these are things we spent an enormous |
| 163s | amount of time and iteration to get just |
| 166s | right you want to join the ends today |
| 170s | apex Legends takes place after the |
| 173s | events of titanfall 2 in a different |
| 175s | part of the frontier of space called the |
| 177s | Outlands we're really trying to expand |
| 179s | the titanfall universe because we've |
| 181s | spent now 8 years developing this world |
| 184s | and characters we feel like there's a |
| 185s | lot more story to tell here free-to-play |
| 191s | what I love about it is there's no |
| 192s | barrier to entry like you've got a ps4 |
| 195s | if you've got an Xbox you got a PC |
| 196s | there's there's nothing stopping you to |
| 197s | go play the game and to go check it out |
| 199s | being free-to-play to us is also really |
| 200s | important that it doesn't mean pay to |
| 202s | win all of these spending in our game is |
| 204s | very fair it's for cosmetics or |
| 206s | characters only we built the game from |
| 208s | the ground up as a live service knowing |
| 210s | that it's gonna grow and evolve so the |
| 211s | structure at all the systems to support |
| 213s | that we're gonna come out with seasons |
| 216s | we're gonna be having new legends we're |
| 217s | gonna have new weapons we're gonna be |
| 219s | balancing the game based on data that |
| 221s | we're receiving on the fly from all of |
| 223s | your matches we plan on years and years |
| 225s | of support get ready for a live show |
| 233s | it was very important to us that when we |
| 235s | made a battle royale game that we loved |
| 237s | it that it was something that we |
| 238s | personally wanted to take home and play |
| 240s | ourselves every time you play there's a |
| 242s | different story that you're gonna have |
| 244s | after that match as content creators we |
| 246s | want to make positive experiences for |
| 248s | players we want to touch their lives in |
| 249s | positive ways you can just go down with |
| 251s | it play it check it out and it's really |
| 252s | exciting for us and I hope you guys |
