Star Wars Battlefront 2: Official Starfighter Assault Gameplay Trailer - General

This is the full version, not the 24 second advert that was leaked yesterday [video=youtube;nWHQ77BZDZg]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWHQ77BZDZg&feature=em-uploademail[/video] [editline]19th August 2017[/editline] There will be actual Starfighter Assault gameplay streamed Monday from GamesCom

Will Phantom Menace Anakin be the hero character for the Naboo level?

Jake lloyd would have to agree for them to use his likeness. Unless there was some clause in his contract he signed in the 90s, That will not happen. Noooooo fuckin way

[QUOTE=lonefirewarrior;52590722]Will Phantom Menace Anakin be the hero character for the Naboo level?[/QUOTE] The Naboo level takes place during the war, not before. But then again Maul is his Episode 1 version.

You both think that was a serious question?

Yoda? In a starfighter? What the fuck.

Was that Ahsoka @ 0:45??? :joy:

[QUOTE=ReligiousNutjob;52590767]Yoda? In a starfighter? What the fuck.[/QUOTE] [IMG]https://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/starwars/images/c/c7/Yodas_Jedi_Starfighter.png/revision/latest?cb=20151112050610[/IMG] Had his own little dinky-ass starfighter for the last episodes of TCW (not actually fighting anything in it, just used for transport). Still not the first choice I'd pick for a space hero, but whatever. Starfighter combat looks pretty solid from this trailer - seems like for the most part they're building more varied maps with different obstacles and paths (debris fields on Endor, flying through Fondor shipyards) rather than just plonking two capital ships in front of each other in open space, which is great.

This looked pretty good until I remembered how terrible the star fighter gameplay was in the first game so hopefully they fixed that

[QUOTE=SpartanXC9;52590825]This looked pretty good until I remembered how terrible the star fighter gameplay was in the first game so hopefully they fixed that[/QUOTE] They did according to Alpha players and those at E3. In fact a completely different developer did the flight mechanics (and ground vehicles).

I'm guessing for gameplay reasons, the small one would be too small.

[QUOTE=SpartanXC9;52590825]This looked pretty good until I remembered how terrible the star fighter gameplay was in the first game so hopefully they fixed that[/QUOTE] I've played the alpha short answer: its fixed long answer: its fixed

I still wonder what happened between the BF1 Alpha and release. I remember the flight controls in the BF1 Closed alpha being fine.

Oh hey, the Fondor shipyard is canon again

This game looks like everything ive ever wanted in a Battlefront game but fuck i was so burned by BF1 that i dont want to give EA money.

[QUOTE=mark6789;52591007]This game looks like everything ive ever wanted in a Battlefront game but fuck i was so burned by BF1 that i dont want to give EA money.[/QUOTE] There is going to be an open beta October, will have ground and space. Will be a good time to try it.

[QUOTE=VaSTinY;52590777]Was that Ahsoka @ 0:45??? :joy:[/QUOTE] I managed to pause at that moment and it's just a clone wearing a pilot helmet. However though since they're including Ryloth which has only been featured in the Clone Wars/Rebels(and the Lords of the Sith book) it's not completely out of the question that they'll include her. They're also including the Clone Wars-era Y-Wings which were only seen in the Clone Wars. I wonder if the Separatists' bomber is going to be the Hyena. But I have to agree with the censuses that putting Yoda in a star fighter is a very[I]very[/I] weird choice as he usually traveled around in a shuttle or some sort of transport ship. Anakin, Obi-Wan, Plo-Koon, or even Ashoka would've been a better choice.

If this is on PSVR then the only thing left for humanity to invent is time travel so I can go back in time and make kid-me shit a brick

Based on data from the Alpha files, the bomber is the Hyena.

[QUOTE=Tuskin;52591902]Pretty sure they're talking about the female voice, it sounded like Ashley Eckstein. Based on data from the Alpha files, the bomber is the Hyena.[/QUOTE] Well ops, but yeah I agree that does sound like her.

[QUOTE=mark6789;52591007]This game looks like everything ive ever wanted in a Battlefront game but fuck i was so burned by BF1 that i dont want to give EA money.[/QUOTE] Hold on to your money and wait until reviews and/or open beta.

I only pre-ordered because Amazon.ca had it $30 off during E3. I probably wouldn't have found a better deal then that until months after release

Considering how well the final ( all the DLC and patches added ) product for Battlefront was, i actually think they've learned their lesson on the way so i'll give them the benefit of the doubt with this, its clear they actually are listening to what the community wants for a change ( single player + space battles were most wanted item )

I imagine space battles are going to be pretty dull since you're not gonna be able to board the enemy ship

[QUOTE=DeEz;52593512]I imagine space battles are going to be pretty dull since you're not gonna be able to board the enemy ship[/QUOTE] I would like to hope that actual game design is gunna go into this, but the way the first one was I can't be too optimistic. These games will sell and review highly if looking good is the only thing they do. Can't even blame em honestly, there's a huge market for people that never play games but would love to roleplay some Star Wars.

[QUOTE=DeEz;52593512]I imagine space battles are going to be pretty dull since you're not gonna be able to board the enemy ship[/QUOTE] They can be exciting without it.

I think Yoda being a space hero means they might just be making it so any hero you can play as on land, you can also play as in space.

[QUOTE=TalonAran;52594821]I think Yoda being a space hero means they might just be making it so any hero you can play as on land, you can also play as in space.[/QUOTE] What would Palpatine fly? Wait, what if Palpatine isn't playable in BF2?

[QUOTE=Tuskin;52594844]What would Palpatine fly? Wait, what if Palpatine isn't playable in BF2?[/QUOTE] one thing i could see is palpy being in a heavily armed custom transport shuttle or something along those lines not actually doing the piloting himself

We've never seen Palpatine pilot
