Media Star Wars BattleFront

[EVILFACE]

Bit underwhelming actually. Only 40 players, no space battles?! I was hoping for seamless round to space combat...

Also, as much as we all love the original trilogy more, the prequel vehicles and troops worked well in the BF series.

I agree.

I know there are people that get there panties in a twist over the PT, but gaming wise there are some great PT characters, vehicles and locations to play in.

And no space battles? Srsly?

OT planet only makes this game a bit meh.

 

[Natedog]

Looks really good but no single player campaign makes this an EASY pass. What a shame!

 

[Matt S]

No campaign, no space stuff...........I shall wait for reviews. Are they rushing this out to meet the movie's release? Yes. And EA and rushed games = major issues

 

[spizzness]

is 40 person multiplayer a bad thing?? So confused. Seems like it could be fun but also imagine the lag and other issues of people just joining and leaving.

40 players max
No space battles
No PT content

. . .

Really? REALLY??? Next gen my ***.

That video is amazing.

 

[RIDDICK]

40 players is great. How many does Call of Duty offer again? 18?

Battlefield 4 has 64 players.
A two years old game made by the same company on the same egnine supports 1,6 TIMES MORE players.

Space battles will be on DLC.

1. Space battles being a separate content is something one could expect 10 years ago
2. Space battles being a payable DLC is insulting

for those of you crying and complaining, thats how the game will actually look.

Nope.
Battlefield 4 and Hardline uses the same engine and doesn't look even close to what was shown in SWB footage.
Hey, maybe it will... on $8k PC.

That is what the game engine is capable of.

Engine's capability has nothing to do with how the game will look on your gaming platform.

Guess some of you are not hardcore gamers like me, casuals complaining.

Casual calling others casuals... That's something.

No space and no story mode make this a maybe for me. Not everyone wants to be online 24/7. Sometimes we just need to kick back and relax with some offline games.

You dont think the X1 has improved, let alone Frostbite 3, over the course of two years? Really? No firmware updates, tweaks, API changes.... nothing? The seventh cpu core being opened will greatly improve game performance and the footage seen, will be the graphics you see when you play it. Any BF trailer I watched never advertised "game engine footage." You know why, because they did not have the ability to make it look that good.

64 player creates to many issues. i will let you figure those issues out if you played the game before, you should easily know.

Not insulting. Insulting is 20gb updates on day one of release.

Yes.... because game engines are never improved... neither are hardware, developing tools, or unlocks for development...

"Engine capability has nothing to do with how the game will look on your platform" i had to send this to quote to my friend, we are still laughing!
My super brief explanation, game wrote, different threads, not based on cores, hopes it utilizes all cores, more cores are good, they play off each other, increased processing power improves it..

I don't have time to write out everything.

Not casual. At one point or another top hundred on COD Black Ops, Black Ops 2, Advanced Warefare.

Even with all those breaks from Gears, top 500 on gears 3, top 100 player weekly (don't even play it every night either)

Tournies, game battles....

How original, using memes to insult. Keep it up champ!

I think you're reading too much into it. Calling yourself a "hardcore" gamer and everyone else who doesn't agree with you a "casual", sounds pretty darn selfish if I say so myself ol'buddy ol'pal! And hey, top 100 in CoD? Damn son, you've accomplished something that every man, woman and child would be proud of.

 

[Python]

WWEJEDI, you may be able to play the games, but it seems you don't quite understand how they're made. In engine means precisely nothing in general and certainly isn't representative of the actual game play. For starters, rendered trailers like that don't even have to take performance into account. And seeing as this is being developed to run on consoles you can expect an awful lot of that detail to disappear from the finished item.

Putting all of that aside...

No space combat
No prequel assets
limited player count in a game all about star WARS!
No single player campaign.


It isn't shaping up in these early stages to be quite what we were all hoping it would be.

 

[RIDDICK]

Don't forget that Battlefront II, a 2005 game:

1) supported 64 players (on PC);
2) had space battles day one;
3) had PT content;
4) had cool campaign mode.

But HEY, at least in 2015 we're gonna get 2012 PC graphics on consoles.
And an army of DICE fanatics whiteknighting on the internet...
All is well.

You, me, and lots of others. I don't know why, but games had a bigger impact back then. Maybe because we didn't get everything in the trailers or maybe because pretty much everyhing was an unlockable rather than a DLC, but they had a different "air". Getting a video-game felt special. Nowadays, it's DLC this, bug that, plus early access and exclusives. Some are good, but most ruin the experience. Not to mention the countless empty promises *coughWatchDogscough*

Not selfish, but the truth. A hardcore gamer vs casual gamer have vastly different views and opinions, as seen in this thread.

I don't think that a lone person can determine what the "truth" is. Especially when he's the only one who supports this "truth" and is acting rude towards the rest of the posters. If you want your opinion to hold gravitas, you should probably refrain from categorazing people based on your perseption of "hardcore" and "casual" because they don't agree with you. Besides, what the hell does it matter whether you're a "hardcore" gamer or not?


In other news, does anybody think that Starkiller could show up? The EU has been scrapped, but IIRC, everything from 1-6 was canon. I mean, the CW is in continuity. Anyway, TFU was overseen by Lucas himself (which supported the arguement that Vader could use lightning, since he did in the game and George said that everything in it was canon), so these events may still hold true. I doubt it, but EA loves its DLC and I could see him and Juno being add-ons later down the line.

I understand how they are made, guess you missed my post explaining.

There is still a campaign.... just not just the traditional one.
No space battles.... for now.
40 players is fine
No PT is upsetting. Although that may be Disney fault. Look at the lack of PT books, comics, toys.... they are trying to make everyone forget about it. They could have said no PT content,mor it could be part of the DLC.

Im not acting rude. I said people were complaining, which you are. Not rude, but the truth.

Starkiller is not cannon, so no.

Calling people names and classifying them based on your standards while yourself is kinda rude, I think. But hey, what does a filthy casual know?

Is he? Disney scrapped everything that's outside of 1-6, but I don't recall them saying anything about what came in-between. Still, not a big loss, but I wouldn't mind him dropping by. TFU was and still is a fun game. TFU 2 less so, but both were respectable SW games.

Its the way the industry works now. Its terrible, but we have to deal with it.
