Battlefield 4

EA recently announced that Battlefield 4 would be coming to the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC later this year. It looks like those are the definitive platforms for the upcoming military shooter as there are no plans to bring the game to the Wii U.

Speaking to Video Gamer, Creative Director Lars Gustavsson stated that he would rather developer DICE focus on the platforms it’s familiar with. By creating a Wii U iteration of Battlefield 4, Gustavsson feels the team would be spread out a bit too much, and that the focus wouldn’t be nearly as tight as it should be to deliver a worthwhile experience.

“I think overall for me as creative director, number one is to deliver a really great game and experience,” explained Gustavsson. “Sometimes, at least for us, it’s focus on what you do well and what you know well, and ensure that you deliver something good than trying a bit too much, stretching yourself too thin and risking it.”
