*** The Official Star Wars Battlefront Thread ***

They say if you pre order on psn you get access to some star wars themes?

Not to say I approve of pre order incentives but , star wars theme?? It's star wars lol

Also is this game team based? Can I join the empire and crush rebels? Or join the rebels and go blow up at at walker's with psn friends as I don't mind team based fps , as I tend to work better with fps when in a team. I get overwhelmed on my own and die from younger or better players lol ..

you will be able to fly planes they say, but only slightly above the ground amongst the troops

No space battles :( It won't be the same.

I agree, they should then go for a killstreak system. Call in tie bombing runs etc. Instead of a MOAB call in orbital star destroyer strike ;)

I'm more dissapointed on the lack of Single player conquest. I think they have missed the point of this game by some margin. It will be a huge seller because of the SW title and then sold or shelved.
 
They've said it won't have a campaign, not that it won't have a single player.

There are apparently specially crafted experiences you can play on your own or co-op with friends.

Have to wait and see how fun these are. If its the ability to replay some of the most famous scenes from the original trilogy with bots, the lack of campaign may not matter if they put enough effort into it !

If they do famous scenes from the films with bots, I'm in. That's enough for me. And if I can join a rebel cause or join the empire and team into squads then this game night jieg be a worthwhile purchase...
 
Nope.

PS2 Version:

Clone Wars and Galactic Civil War

Space battles

64 players on PC version (including tons of bots)

30 unique vehicles

26 Maps all with different variants.

Single Player Campaign

23 playable Heroes & Villains

Made by a great developer but the team but destroyed by EA.

EA's next gen triple A game:

Only Galactic Civil War

No Space battles

Only 40 players with no bots.

Only 6 confirmed vehicles. AT-ATs aren't even playable.

Only 4 planets

No Single Player Campaign
 
Its the same across all platforms.


1.There is no single player campaign, just a few missions depicting moments from the original trilogy that can be played solo or cooperatively.


2.There is no galactic conquest mode.


3.The max player count is capped at 40 across all platforms. When asked whether bots would be featured DICE responded with "no comment".


4.There are no space battles or fighting in orbit, and air units will be confined to the area above ground maps like in the Battlefield franchise.


5.The game will launch with only 4 playable planets, though how many maps will be set on each is unclear.


6.Only units and characters from the Original Trilogy will be featured.


7.The AT-AT walkers shown in the trailer and promotional stills will not be player controlled, and will instead follow a scripted path across the battlefield.


basically they removed the talking points from battlefront 1 and 2.

That's what I thought when I read his gripe list.. Anyhow.

Psn has a huge page on ps4 store with star wars films and pre order for this.. Just like they had for destiny. Sony looking to put their marketing deal to good use.

I wonder how the teaming works, I'm more interested in how you squad up , not fussed about using at at walker's. Asking for that is like asking to use a death star , but I can see speeders being a lot of fun.

as much as cubed entering a battlefield thread to moan is as inevitable as death and taxes.

He does have a point.

The scale of this game is looking nothing like what we imagined when we were told DICE was making a star wars games. People were talking of rush style games where the battle moves from ground to space, with tons of vehicles from the star wars universe playable, and having epic x-wing vs tie fighter style space fights.

We envisaged huge 64 player galactic conquest battles. But it looks like we aren't going to get the star wars games we dreamt of. It may still turn out to be good, but for now i'm disappointed by how low they're aiming with this one.
 
Does anyone here actually believe that the game will look as good as the trailer? Only asking because a Dice developer claimed it looks like that on PS4.

Definitely won't look that good. Maybe on a high powered PC, not on consoles though.
 
Nah, its telling when they say its the game engine running it, sure, that's cool, but its clear they dont ever say its in game footage.
