Star Wars: Battlefront details announced

[1nfiniteseed]

So is there going to be galactic conquest?

That's kind of a deal breaker.

[QUOTE=Skyward;47546076]Shame they'll probably use the bullshit "battlepacks" system.[/QUOTE]

But battlepacks are actually kinda neat, especially cause they're wicked cheap to buy with ingame cash too

[Grenadiac]

I'd actually love a story mode like BF3

[Whit3]

[QUOTE=ashxu;47546102]Only 40? :/

Should be 64.[/QUOTE]

[quote]the max player count for online battles would be 40-players, and the minimum 8, depending on the modes[/quote]

I have hard time understanding this line from the Gameinformer interview, but I believe it means that the player count is 40 for the Walker Assault gamemode.

[Joazzz]

having read that description, i'm dangerously close to believing that DICE actually are hell-bent on making the best Star Wars action game ever as well as a faithful Battlefront remake

dangerously close, but not quite there yet

i don't know why but if i didn't play bf4 for a few months i'd come back to like sixty gold battlepacks even without premium so i never had a problem with the system

[Surfur]

Maybe they will supplement the low player count with NPC's

Yeah, Battlepacks drop so frequently I've never really cared about them. If anything, I always have too many of them.

[BackSapper]

[QUOTE=Kite_shugo;47545896]might as well drop the only gameplay released in here

That's from Return of the Jedi .-.

Clarify?

[hanswithcheese]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooooooo!

[quote]In our game, we want to bring the fantasy of dogfighting to players," she said. "We bring you the X-Wing, and we bring you the TIE Fighter, and other air vehicles that you want to fly in and experience, but we keep them on the planet's surface."

This means that dogfighting is contained within a planet's atmosphere. To clarify even further, you won't be able to run around on the ground, hop into an X-Wing, take flight, and soar off into outer space. There are no space battles in this Battlefront game.[/quote]

I'm not sure if that's entirely true but if it is then all is lost for the gorgeous space battles i had hoped for

[Grenadiac]

What? That doesn't even make sense. I hope that's not true.

[Joazzz]

of course it's true

Shit, that's a shame. Everything else sounds excellent though so hopefully this is one of few concessions.

[woolio1]

Honestly, space battles in BF2 were one of the weakest parts of the game. If they don't think they can do it well, then a Battlefield-style dogfighting system might be the better choice.

[RustledJimmys]

i hated the spage segments in battlefront they just felt tedious and boring

Wow.

[editline]17th April 2015[/editline]

Hey, at least the whole 'you can jump in a ship and dogfight and then land and fight' thing is still happening. Sure, it's not in space, but it's still happening.

[Niven]

It's like Battlefront 1.

That's last years trailer.

I still love it though.

Oh, woops. Sorry. Wrong link. I changed it to the correct one.

When that guy uses the jetpack and shoots the AT-ST with the rocket, it looks like the Battlefield 1942 Secret Weapons opening video

[Taiset]

so wait its a starwars game with out space battles so its basically: Wars Battlefront

also does that AT AT look tiny compared to the old ones ?

[TheTalon]

Game Engine footage =/= Gameplay. Think of it as a Source Filmmaker type video

The sounds are great. Those snow speeders flying over? Hnnnnng

[TheVoidDragon]

[QUOTE=Niven;47546524]It's like Battlefront 1.[/QUOTE]

But with even less content, it seems. I'll probably still get it anyway but other than the graphics it's disappointing so far.

1v1 Galactic Conquest with my cousin back in high school days was one of the funner memories of growing up. I'm disappointed they won't have that here. Everything else sounds good though.

[Dejarie]

I'm cool with the content being more focused. BF2 was great and all, but I'm sure this new one will be great too, sure losing Space Battles is a big loss, but to have really good gameplay for land battles, I think that's a good trade.
