[quote]One would think that Electronic Arts would immediately offer Star Wars: Battlefront to Battlefield studio DICE, but according to a CVG interview with EA Games Label executive VP Patrick Söderlund, "It was just something as boring as resources and availability. The DICE guys Karl Magnus Troedsson and Patrick Bach were talking and I told them we were in dialogues with Disney over this deal and they just looked at me and said, 'Why haven't you spoken to us? What are you doing? We want to make Battlefront.'"
"...So we figured it out, we got them the game and it was that simple. They begged to do it, the opportunity was there and that's exactly why you'll see a game that will be what it needs to be."[/quote]

Why does nobody seem to understand that battlefront has been a game everyone has wanted for years
Well, that's definitely good news. Seems like it'll be a labor of love and that almost always turns out well.
It's remarkable how out of touch some companies are from their player-base, all graphs and spreadsheets and no connection
This is going to be hilarious when it blows up in their face.
I bet it will just be battlefield with laser guns.

[QUOTE=A big fat ass;41170221]Disney was going to make Battlefront? Huh? Did I mis-understand this quote?[/QUOTE]
No they are just referring to the Star Wars license deal EA made with Disney and DICE figured it was a good time to call dibs on developing a new Battlefront.

Since DICE is making Battlefront, can I command the death star?
I seriously spent too much time on this
But I'm betting this is an accurate representation of what they are going to make
100%

This is the problem with the way publishers work, they seem to think that because one developer made a successful military shooter, that if they make a military shooter it will also be successful simply because statistically the other one was good. Doing so they utterly forget that there is more to games than that and copying other peoples ideas just doesn't work as the player base WILL pick up on that fact. Originality gets you much further in the game world really.
I get sad when I go back and play Battlefront 2 and realise how chunky the aiming is
Otherwise it's a great game though - we must have spent dozens of hours just messing around
A Star Wars Battlefield sounds awesome to me.

Just like the original battlefront games
[QUOTE=Fatfatfatty;41170208]I bet it will just be battlefield with laser guns.[/QUOTE]
i have absolutely no problem with that
Using AT-ATs instead of choppers to deliver troops into battle? Yes please.
Hopefully they'll do it justice. DICE hasn't failed us before, so I hope they don't do it now.
What makes it better is how DICE really wanted to make Battlefront which means they're not simply being paid to do it and that they will want to make the game perfect.
You know, that Starwars 1942 mod was some cool shit.

This. If the team is passionated about the game, the chance of it turning out great is significantly higher.

AT-ATs? How about [url=http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Low_Altitude_Assault_Transport]LAAT[/url]?
[QUOTE=gnisasas;41170602]i want to be a droideka[/QUOTE]
It was possible in the original Battlefront games, I hope they bring it back.
Every time I played as one, the urge to put [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtwJvgPJ9xw]this song[/url] in the background was always overwhelming.
All I want is what they promised with BF3, I want space battles.

LucasArts is especially impressive. They just completely lost touch with reality. I can understand where they came from with Force Unleashed, but they fucked that up compared to what they showed during development. They were also developing an Indiana Jones game for PS3 and Xbox 360, but ended up releasing it for PS2 and Wii and it sucked balls. What the fuck happened to them. Every game past Empire At War was just a mindless cash-in on Star Wars, like they somehow expected everything with Star Wars tacked on to it to be instantly successful.
[QUOTE=Dark RaveN;41170621]AT-ATs? How about [url=http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Low_Altitude_Assault_Transport]LAAT[/url]?[/QUOTE]
I hope they bring flying vehicles back to ground battles. BF2 for some reason took them out on every map bar Hoth.
[QUOTE=Fatfatfatty;41170208]I bet it will just be battlefield with laser guns.[/QUOTE]
I love how everyone forgot that DICE said that they don't want Battlefield + Battlefront.
[QUOTE=carcarcargo;41170800]I hope they bring flying vehicles back to ground battles. BF2 for some reason took them out on every map bar Hoth.[/QUOTE]
And for some reason Hoth was also one of the most popular maps.
[QUOTE=Chaos Creator;41170161]Why does nobody seem to understand that battlefront has been a game everyone has wanted for years[/QUOTE]
Because it isn't battlefield 4.
sad but true..
