Virtual reality is all the tech of the future, Oculus Rift is the greatest invention ever, blah, blah, blah. Yes, but some of us still keep a place in our hearts for the first thing that allowed us to act out situations we would otherwise never find ourselves in: the simple, traditional video game. But maybe we can have both? FCB West helped EA develop an interactive trailer for its new action game, Battlefield Hardline. As it goes on, you find yourself in the middle of bank heists, hostage situations and high-speed car chases, using an old-fashioned click of the mouse or keyboard arrow keys to look around and interact with the high-risk situations you find yourself in. And no giant headset is required.
