Gaming Star Wars: Battlefront (2015) & Battlefront 2 (2017) [Mod Approved]

Even without space, they're still giving us a starfighter mode. Some people really should stop bashing the game before we get the full details. I'd rather fly around a planet than the emptiness of space anyway.

 

I just recently started playing the halo series again, I forgot how fun it was. So I was playing the level with the hornet aircraft and it really got me pumped after reading about this supposed fighter squadron mode.

 

Other than flying through and exploring crusiers there's nothing in space that can't be done on ground with starfighters

 

There's also the fact there's a lot more to do within a planet than the openness of space. The way the maps are set out on the ground make for more interesting set pieces than just a few cruisers in space, and the bonus is you can also have cruisers within the atmosphere, as well as other bases with gun turrets and the like.

 

Dogfighting on the ground also allows the opportunity to have actual crashes- what's there to crash into in space other than utter blackness

 

Other ships?

 

I'm between whether it's a choice of (boring) marketing strategy to pick the ones that are the most iconic to appeal to the audience, or that the available amount of playable vehicles is just that bare-bones. But towards the SW fan with a decent amount of knowledge their PR feels a bit dumbed down. Ofcourse these vehicles are in, they should be in, why expect any less? ... It wouldn't be much of a SW game depicting grand battles without them. It's really nothing special. It has next to nothing to do with entitlement either. I think they just have to try harder to get me to say "now we're talking".

I don't know, maybe they're just underestimating how informed their playerbase is about these things. In any case, i think people would be genuinely more impressed if they spoke about land based vehicles/fighters that are, for a lack of better words, less famous (though i have a hard time figuring out why they should be). Personally i would be looking forward to piloting a TIE Interceptor (my favorite) or T16 Skyhopper. The battles that don't restrict them to what is shown in the movie (to keep up a level of authenticity) should be used and experimented with to offer a wider variety. They've stated the (very) obvious, let's hear about the others. With SW's history of a mind-boggling number of vehicles, EU or not, there's no excuse not to make use of them. Throw in the occasional civilian transport like a swoopbike, skiff or landspeeder near homesteads as well.

Makes me wonder just what they are going to introduce to the Rebels as a counterpart to the Imperial's AT-ST, to create some sense of balance. When it comes to landbased warfare, the Imperials always held an obvious advantage.

 

Yea when it came to videogames devs always had to invent some EU tank to balance out the rebels not having decent ground vehicles in the movies.

 

those games were finished. This game is not,if there is to be a public beta it will be a virtual slice of a section that is finished. This is simply what the facts are in this situation,it's a highly rushed along production, it could stand to gain from at least 10 months added production time.it's part of my current employment to talk to these people.

 

A month or two before release is when there'll be a beta, when it is more finished and polished. I didn't mean release one now.

 

I Realized that.I have seen. abt 15 to 20 minutes worth of gameplay footage,and I was impressed with the fidelity of that level..but of course nowhere near trailer level graphicso,but that should come as a surprise to Noone. It is hard to judge something from footage and not being able to play it.

 

Regardless, I just wanna see something. Really anticipating June 15th, finally get to see some awesome gameplay.

 

I expect they'll be a lot bigger though. Obviously it depends on the quality of the maps as well. Hopefully they'll be up to scratch.

 

yours for 25$ also prepare to be nickled and dimed like never before

 

I pre ordered my copy yesterday and there's not a thing the haters can say to make me regret that decision

 

that' cool. it's not about hating. it's about not getting ripped off.

 

Caught this one on the SWBattlefront reddit, but i think it's a fake render. Would be nice to have this as an actual gamemode though...

Edit: So the original source is from some fan site, and they have yet to release it officially (in a larger format), atleast that's what i'm getting so far. If true, i wonder what purpose these SD's will serve and if they're stationary or not. The most obvious guess is a "destroy the opponent's capital ship(s) to win" mode.

Boarding/sabotaging them like the Titans in BF2142 would be nice, but i think that's a stretch;

 

looks real enough. we've seen that planet in the game it's sullust

 

I think I saw that posted on the EA Star Wars Facebook page.
Haven't seen it since though.

EDIT: Ah. While it is from EA, it hasn't been on their Facebook page.
It appears to have come from here.

Couldn't make much out of the comments on their reddit (somewhat confusing), but it was more or less about the SD's actually. Some seemed to imply that it was a fan render of how it should be.

But i assume it's the real deal?

 

i think so. sullust is at the end of the trailer.

 

yet you have only demonstrated that your a poor consumer,

and I actually have a vested interest in this game being successful financially..so I should really thank you for making my family and me richer.

 

thats indeed Sullust,first canon appearance and everything

 

Like I said in my original post, it don't matter what you call me, I'm still glad I pre ordered

 

I'm glad you feel that way but personally I can't feel excited about this if it doesn't have a campaign, a story. Because in my opinion that's what games should be about, with excellent gameplay and graphics as important complementary bonuses.
