Battlefront Premium: Buy it or we'll blow your planet up with a giant super laser.
[QUOTE=assassin_Raptor;40550982]That 'worst company in america' vote was pretty stupid though. EA is hardly the worst company in America. But internet savvy gamers would think it to be.[/QUOTE]
I would not say "Hardly" as it is true they're one of the worst, really.
I just hope we are all wrong.
Imagine if we actully get a decent republic commando 2 or Battlefront 3.
aww ye
Would be cool if they did a Star Wars themed expansion for BF4 as a celebration... please?
[QUOTE=cccritical;40551083]the core audience they're trying to pander to hates their guts[/QUOTE]
A poll on the internet doesn't represent EA's entire core audience.
I should probably just start my own game company, get the rights to the Republic Commando/Battlefront/Everything license and develop them the way we'd all want them to be made.
Now the only problem is I would literally be IDEAS GUY and I have a whopping $40 to start it.
It was a neat dream for 5 seconds though!
why is visceral on this, are they going to make a star wars action horror survival blarg game?
isaac skywalker needs to use his forcecutter to stop the necrotroopers!
Nooooo god damnit no. The Worst Company in America gets exclusive license for Star Wars games? Fuck me.
Battlefront III
Please

Because Visceral can only make Dead Space games apparently?
Bioware, you are not allowed ANYWHERE near Star Wars, okay?
Visceral, I swear to god if you try and make a Dead Space with star wars reskins
I will buy it
[I]but I will be unhappy[/I]
DICE, make Battlefront III and I'll take back all the harsh words I said

to be fair that's their track record, Dead Space and Dante's Inferno
dante's was bollocks but Dead Space is actually really good and don't even lie a star wars survival horror would be fucking cool
[QUOTE=Delta616;40550677]Bioware also made KOTOR, so their track record with Star Wars is 1/2.[/QUOTE]
Tor wasn't made by the main bioware team. But more or less from a renamed mythic.

-snip, that was volition behind Descent and Freespace, DAMN YOU MEMORY!-

I am aware of that, I for one enjoyed many things about SWTOR, had the privileged of playtesting the game from late 2009 until it's release. Could have been a much better game though.

Luke and Micky: Lucky - The Game
not entirely sure how i feel about Visceral being there but they haven't really made a [I]bad[/I] game so hey i'm down with it
Hopefully they will allow the games they publish to be on Steam instead of Origin only.
Like I said Star Wars has been dead in my heart for years. Probably even died before I was born after the second movie.
A lot of people love that extended universe bullshit so my opinion is terrible.
I just want to let it go, but no they have to make a fucking new movie series, which I am hesitant on but I hope it will reinvigorate my love for star wars.
Just seems like no body can keep their dick out of the rotting corpse that is Starwars.

kind of important not to send a KKK member to greet the new black neighbors if you plan on being friends with them[/QUOTE]
What? Facepunch is not EA's core audience, neither is Something Awful, nor /v/, nor any other gaming board. Casual gamers are EA's core audience. The majority of which are perfectly content with DLC and other stuff.
I seriously hope that DICE doesn't make Battlefront 3 though it's probably our last change to get the game in our hands as the companies are just plain retarded. Even though Battlefield/Battlefront are concept wise extremely similar the gameplay (other than objectives) is whole different. Battlefront never was a smooth competitive AAA-experience like Battlefield 2, the fun in it was playing against AI in 3rd person (face it, the 1st person was just tacked on for FPS players with lacking animations and weapon models) with your pals via split-screen or online and using custom content on the PC. I'm quite certain that the DICE of 2013 supervised by EA would just poop out another cash-in online shooter with Star Wars skin on it without AI or any crucial features from the prequels just like they did to their own series.
People don't want Battlefield 3 with Star Wars skin (which the First Assault sadly looked like). They want the true Battlefront 3 with ground-to-space transition as showcased by Pandemic back in the day. That's the game the community has cried after for years.
[b]If[/b] DICE could release a true Pandemic Battlefront with top quality graphics and make it free of Origin, it would be the new best selling Star Wars game of all time and hailed forever like it's prequels.
makes me wonder if I should get BF2
Well that means no more Star Wars games for the Wii U for a while.
[QUOTE=J!NX;40551820]makes me wonder if I should get BF2[/QUOTE]
Battlefront 2 is pretty hype. Still has a few populated servers too last I played (albiet a while ago).
Y'all some cynical motherfuckers.
Battlefront 3 and DICE is the best mix we are going to ever get, considering battlefront was basically a Battlefield clone.
I'd rather see Obsidian tackle another SWRPG, but honestly the hate for Bioware in the past 4 years has been way overblown and they would still do a pretty good job on it.
I'm just waiting for Black Box to make a Star Wars themed Skate / SSX Game really.
[QUOTE=Hunterdnrc;40550619]Republic Commando 2 on the Frostbite engine?
mmmmm[/QUOTE]
It would actually be called Imperial Commando seeing Delta squad doesnt get into anything until order 66 and they become apart of the 501st as well as most other Commando teams. Would be nice to play a game as an Imperial and acting out order 66 and slaying Jedi, hunting rebels would be nice as well.
man idgaf what y'all think, im hyped
Bioware is cool they make good games yo.
DICE could do something awesome with the Star Wars license. The main problem imho with BF3 was just the setting was so uninspired. "lets shoot some reds in the desert/town hooah...."
Star Wars by DICE would be fucking kickass
Visceral could make one hell of a game, I loved EVERY game they've put out so far.

Are you trying to say Star Wars died with Empire Strikes Back? What?
