EA’s game capture team snags visceral Battlefield 2042 images

When I’ve seen video game trailers with over-the-top action, I’ve often wondered who among the game developers creates these things. It turns out that Electronic Arts has a full game capture division whose job it is to capture images that will get gamers excited about an upcoming title.

In the most recent trailers for EA’s Battlefield 2042, you can see some astounding scenes of what you can do in the game, like have a firefight with people in tornado or get some amazing kills while in the air. Most of these scenes aren’t cinematics that are created by animators. That’s still possible, but players are discerning and they appreciate when those stunts are really generated in-game, simply by having players carry out maneuvers while playing the game. That means that players would really be able to re-create those scenes, and the feeds of many YouTubers are filled with such feats that could only be done by the best of players.
