Re: Star Wars: Battlefront
So it's going to be pretty. I think we already knew that.
I'll keep my hopes low until we get some indication that they're not going to release another game with crap hit detection, crap mechanics and crap maps.

Re: Star Wars: Battlefront
Hate to be that guy, but there was zero gameplay in that teaser. It coulda been a promo for any number of the Star Wars animated series. No huds, no info, no first person. Just a lot of generic action shots of things that might make it into the game.
That said- it was all original trilogy stuff (Hoth & Endor, soldiers & vehicles from original trilogy) which has me super excited.

Re: Star Wars: Battlefront
read a few articles from around the interwebz:
1. only 4 planets at launch: Hoth, Endor, Tatooine, and the new planet Sullust. i.e. likely only 8 maps at release.
2. only 40 player max online multiplayer for all systems
3. no multiplayer AI
4. some silly mechanic to allow you to spawn as a "hero or villain" such as Darth Vader or Boba Fett
5. no content from episodes 1-3
6. they refuse to touch space fighting at this time
7. free "setting" (2 maps) releasing like 2 weeks after game release (pre order to get it a week early guiz!), or basically day 1 DLC
8. they aren't releasing the gameplay footage they showed the news people. so we're stuck with this pre-rendered trailer.
...
back to being hesitant and less optimistic.

Re: Star Wars: Battlefront
jackfrags *talks* a bit about the gameplay

they should lift the NDA for the playtesters...

Re: Star Wars: Battlefront
With the popularity of the X-Wing games, it wouldn't surprise me if Disney plans to reboot that IP as a separate spaceship fighter game and let Battlefront focus on terrestrial combat. That said, I really hope there's a titan mode style of gameplay between capital ships (though no indication of such at this time).Róka wrote:6. they refuse to touch space fighting at this time [...] I have a hard time believing it's not going to exist because there are star destroyers in every damn scene. Possibly DLC again?
My guess is the star destroyers will act like main bases in most game modes where you can spawn/fly from them but they're a central part of gameplay.

Re: Star Wars: Battlefront
So far EA fraked all games running the current Trollbite engine.
From BF4 to Dragon Age.
At this point I don't expect anything but fancy graphics.

Re: Star Wars: Battlefront
Still 0 gameplay footage.
I guess if I cared a lot about star wars in the first place, this would already be an exciting thing. Right now, I just see the SW theme as something holding the game back. It pushed the boundaries of scifi back in 1977, but in 2015 it's kinda cheesy and retro, not really in a good way. I get that it's gonna be a big seller because of the starwars IP, but it just doesn't impress me.
I'm just waiting to see if they put recoil on laser guns.

There was a twitter Q&A going on a few moments ago which shed some light on some of the points raised here:
- We have 4 iconic planets & on those many maps to play on. We're going to take you places you've never been before.
- There will be more maps than 8, and more than two per planet at launch.
- We have varying map sizes, from large to small, to cater to different experiences and different modes
- We have a feature called Missions that allow you to play solo or cooperatively with bots on or offline
- You will be able to pilot AT-STs, as well as many more iconic vehicles, like X-wings and Tie fighters
- You will be able to take to the skies over our planets and dogfight with squadrons of starfighters
- The battle of Jakku is not a day one dlc, it is free content we want you all to have as soon as it is done
- Heroes depend heavily on the game mode.
- There will be plenty of things to unlock, achieve and collect.
Re: Star Wars: Battlefront
The real question here is how many lock-on weapons are we gonna get?
It's a deciding factor for me.
