Star Wars Gaming Megathread Episode II - Attack of the Season Pass - Games

[QUOTE=revan740;52443840]Honestly, this has to currently be my favorite theme in Star Wars along with the force theme. I hope they come out with a soundtrack. Unrelated, I guess, but I think some of the original stuff from Battlefront is also quite good. IIRC, the licks that Griskey wrote for BF2015 are back in BF2.[/QUOTE] I'd love to hear the LSO performing the Force Awakens music in full. Probably will never happen, but it would be nice. Maybe if they bring the Live to Projection concerts over to London they could do it then, because they should get the honour of performing Star Wars music live like that, seeing as they couldn't do Episode VII originally. They will be reusing music from SWBF 2015. I'm sure I've heard some of it in the livestream and it would make sense to reuse it for planets that carried over from the 2015 title. I agree: I'd love an official CD for this game. I have my own custom soundtrack for the 2015 Battlefront but I'd love to have it all presented officially. Maybe one day, eh?

Did Krennic and Jyn have unique music?

[QUOTE=Tuskin;52443882]Did Krennic and Jyn have unique music?[/QUOTE] No. Their themes in Battlefront were just short versions of existing themes from previous Battlefront recordings. Michael Giacchino hadn't finished recording the music for Rogue One at the time so their respective themes were not available. If they appear in SWBF2, their film themes could also appear.

I really like the 'imperial' theme from Rogue One, so I hope it does. Jyn's theme is pretty cool too.

All things considered all of Scariff was based off pre-release content they saw from the trailers. It's why the entire infiltration gamemode takes place on the beach because that's all we saw for most the trailers.

Pretty sure they had help from Lucasfilm when making it. Considering how accurate the weapons and costumes are. Plus the Comms array is ontop of the tower, which IIRC you never see in the trailers. [editline]7th July 2017[/editline] The devs explained the Scarif DLC as being a secondary mission, or something, it isn't meant to be the mission from the film. The Data tapes are not the death star plans.

Yeah, they were probably given access to props or at least pictures of them, ILM more then likely gave them renders or the actual 3D assets for the ships and scenery. [editline]7th July 2017[/editline] I hope we see more non-canon weapons in Battlefront 2.

It appears the Commando is the jump trooper [url]https://www.reddit.com/r/StarWarsBattlefront/comments/6lyhjn/datamining_discoveries/?st=J4V8Q856&sh=5f18ecd3[/url]

Why call it a clone commando internally, even record a line for the droids calling it a Commando (you can hear this in the E3 footage and the video above), but then call it a jump trooper in the UI?

I seriously hope they don't combine the three eras weapons and heroes. I think it would be a pretty stupid move to put all the effort into getting things accurate and create an immersive game only to ruin it by then shoving weapons and heroes in wherever without any actual care.

Doesn't bother me at all as long as it isn't mixed factions. Keep Rey as part of the Resistance, keep Kylo Ren as part of the First Order But having Resistance Vs. Empire? Sure go right ahead. Sounds like that might be possible offline at least with the 'Fantasy Battle' game mode.

[QUOTE=ulvemann43;52446566]I doubt that.

[QUOTE=ulvemann43;52446807]Huh. Every list i saw had them both[/QUOTE] Well unless someone here still has the Alpha installed and can check. We can find out. There is a resistance Jump trooper mentioned. [editline]8th July 2017[/editline] So the droid 'clone commando' voice clips are suffexed with _hunter The Clone equivalent sound files talk about something being 'too fast'. and "Rapid attack" Doesn't sound like a Super Battle Droid. There is also 'hunter initated' files, which is what the character says when they're the 'hunter'. The voice is the normal B1 battledroid, saying things like 'hunter program initiated', and 'follow me' One of the clone 'hunter initiated' lines is 'Taking vanguard, follow me"

[QUOTE=Tuskin;52447067] One of the clone 'hunter initiated' lines is 'Taking vanguard, follow me"[/QUOTE] Isn't "Vanguard" the Shotgun star card for the Assault class? Or could we be getting these bad bois [img]https://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/theclonewiki/images/7/75/CitadelDroid.jpg[/img]

That might have been it.

I want to believe that is Rex as the republic announcer

[QUOTE=Tuskin;52449260]I want to believe that is Rex as the republic announcer[/QUOTE] I find Cody to be suited considering he's a Clone Commander with the Rank of Marshal. Rex is a Clone Trooper that's also an ARC Trooper with the rank of Captain. Realistically code has more overall power compared to Rex. Clone Officer Ranks: Lieutenant,Captain,Major,Commander -Variation-,Marshall Commander. Plus I think Rex is the commander of Torrent Company within the 501st while Appo is promoted to Commander of the 501st by ROTS.

[QUOTE=Fancy Godgineer;52443213]so I'm optimistic about seeing actual Clone Commandos in the game.[/QUOTE] Any of the squad as a hero unit! I would shit my pants.

[QUOTE=Delta616;52450145]Any of the squad as a hero unit! I would shit my pants.[/QUOTE] Read the last half of page 75, they might not be what we think they are.

[QUOTE=Tuskin;52450165]Read the last half of page 75, they might not be what we think they are.[/QUOTE] I did... Simply saying that would be cool. Hence the, "I would shit my pants"

I hope they aren't completely deaf to the outcry. I'm almost certain now that if they aren't in the base game they'll be released as free dlc later.

[QUOTE=Killjoy;52450276]I hope they aren't completely deaf to the outcry. I'm almost certain now that if they aren't in the base game they'll be released as free dlc later.[/QUOTE] Delta Squad appearing in the game is something i have mixed feelings on. I really like Clone Commandos and the Republic Commando game was awesome, along with Delta squad as actual characters...but those characters don't exist anymore. The Delta Squad that is canon is in no way the same as the one everyone thinks of, pretty much nothing about them is known now beyond their names and appereance. Just taking them and sticking them in without [I]any [/I]establishing of their characters beforehand would be such a missed opportunity. Still, i would like to see them in the game anyway. I suppose it's sort of similar to how they did the same with Shadowtroopers, Lavatroopers and several weapons without there being any prior information about those.
