いよいよローンチトレイラーも公開されて準備万端の『バトルフィールドV（Battlefield V）』ですが、開発を手がけるEA DICEのシニアプロデューサーLars Gustavsson氏はシリーズの原点である『バトルフィールド1942（Battlefield 1942）』のオープニング映像の絵コンテを公開しました。大まか流れはほぼ最終版に反映されており、今にも「敵の潜水艦を発見！」…ではなくて「デデンデッデデンデン」のメロディがー聞こえてきそうです。Going for lunch but I'm leaving you with another nostalgic piece from my dusty dungeons....it's the storyboard trailer for what was to become the intro to Battlefield 1942. We worked with the crew on Vectorfilm who did an amazing job. Thank you all and see you in a bit!! pic.twitter.com/jHDSP10PaW

陸海空の兵器が激突するという壮大なスケールのゲームプレイもさることながら、この印象的なオープニング映像と耳に残るテーマ曲によって、『バトルフィールド1942』に心を射抜かれたゲーマーも多いのではないでしょうか。Lars Gustavsson氏のTwitterアカウントでは他にも初期カバーアートやコンセプトアートなどが披露されているので、興味がある方は要チェックです。
Back from lunch! At the end of this video you might have noticed a strange looking Battlefield logo. Guess where it came from? The team did a number of mockups for the cover before we made the final one with EA, so here is an early version. pic.twitter.com/9av1texvDO

While are down memory lane I would like to share some material I found in my huge cabinet. (I admit; I'm a hoarder of the worst kind so when we move in the office it looks like I'm moving an army) Found three binders from BF1942. The first contained the original pitch for BF1942 pic.twitter.com/msiVini8fv

and here's some early concept art I did to relay what the game was to look like (I started as an artist but became producer). All created in 3D Studio Max with actual game assets to create a scene to inspire. As those who remember can tell, the ship made it into the game. pic.twitter.com/QmyBgnrqIM

the last one is from the binder with old BF1942 concept art. Here is an image for level design / art that describes (sorry for the Swedish) details and intents for our environments. Wouldn't it be cool to travel back in time and show young me our worlds of Battlefield V today! pic.twitter.com/BVnsLW6VXP

Can you guess which map this concept was made for? pic.twitter.com/51cqh2OTRs
