Designing EA Highlighter was a unique challenge. It’s unusual for console-based replay editors to offer more advanced features such as timeline editing where controls are limited. Highlighter also had to be a seamless experience where the player’s creations are given focus, with an interface which is as unobtrusive as possible.
