DICE recently said they aren't aiming to make "Star Wars: Battlefield" but both games do have major similarites in the past.
[QUOTE=GoldenBullet;41170186]It's remarkable how out of touch some companies are from their player-base, all graphs and spreadsheets and no connection[/QUOTE]
And thats my biggest fear, that this short-sightedness will make the game will turn out to be shit and what nobody wanted.

Well that's what dice wants. Not improbable at all that ea wants to change it around to be more like battlefield to cash in on that audience which is already established.

Battlefront was pretty much star wars battlefield, that's why they named it similarly.
[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]
Transporting troops in the LAAT/i was really fun, particularly intense when there were fighters and walkers were zapping at you. Really hope they're brought back.

EA doesn't have that much influence on DICE to affect the nitty-gritty game design details, though I'm sure when gameplay comes out and it looks vaguely like BF3 people will scream bloody murder.
Also when they announced they got the Battlefront license at the Stockholm studio, everyone cheered, so I'd say they are pretty happy to work on this.
I just, don't get it? Battlefront games printed money. Hell, the main advertising campaign for the second one was literally "The sequel to that game that EVERYONE BOUGHT". It sold on that alone.
No shit, the front of my Battlefront II box straight up says, in a huge logo, "The Sequel to the Best-Selling Star Wars game of ALL TIME"

Until EA goes Mr. Hyde again and starts cutting ideas and funding to fit their financial agenda for the fiscal year.
[QUOTE=Fatfatfatty;41170208]I bet it will just be battlefield with laser guns.[/QUOTE]
They have specifically stated they do not want to just make a battlefield knock-off.
I like how people still don't know this, it ought to have made the rounds by now.
[QUOTE=Worldwaker;41170200]This is going to be hilarious when it blows up in their face.[/QUOTE]
Yes, fuck them for begging to make a game that the fans have wanted for years using the same formula that made Battlefield so great.

you're really naive if you think they're gonna deliver on that
[QUOTE=Fatfatfatty;41170208]I bet it will just be battlefield with laser guns.[/QUOTE]
so exactly like battlefront 1 and 2 then?
[QUOTE=Diet Kane;41172413]you're really naive if you think they're gonna deliver on that[/QUOTE]
Why wouldn't they, DICE isn't some evil organization or anything?

You must be a very boring person to have no hopes or positive feelings for this.

well I didn't enjoy Warfighter at all and DICE have really fallen far from grace, so of course I don't have much hope for this. A lot of people are tired of big budget "AAA" shooters.

people are bored of those kinds of shooters because most of them are modern military shooters which became stale by the time the second Modern Warfare came out. and what does Warfighter have to do with anything? it's already been confirmed that Danger Close/DICE LA aren't working on the new battlefront.
give me a hint of no bot implementation, a shitty pointless LOOK AT OUR FANCY OVERBUDGETED SETPIECES WITH NO GRAVITAS singleplayer campaign and dlc milking and i'll gladly throw all of my tomatoes at DICE and EA, as it stands it's best just to wait with mild and cautious anticipation.

Danger Close was disbanded and DICE still makes fucking premiere games.
if i had to make a guess, I'd say you're just a big whiner with a hateboner for anything to do with EA/DICE
[QUOTE=NoobSauce;41170846]I love how everyone forgot that DICE said that they don't want Battlefield + Battlefront.[/QUOTE]
yeah and they're also an awful developer so I can't imagine them being technically capable of doing anything outside of their tanks+aircraft+infantry cooker cutter game design. just wait for the first gameplay video. wait until you see the lens flairs and and blue tint.
are you implying that battlefront was anything more than speeders+flying speeders+soldiers+one large vehicle on a specific map
because battlefront was literally 1942 reskinned

god forbid if a company works on something completely unrelated to their older products. they make battlefield, just because of that your logic says all of their future games are going include BLUE TINGE Tr1pl3 k1ll n0 SCoPeZZZ!!1.

yeah, a decade ago, before call of duty turned the industry into what it is now. now every single multiplayer game is a clone of the generic FPS model, down to every individual mechanic. and 1942 was actually a decent game to begin with. now, the game being reskinned is literally the worst product of the decade. and if you think EA is going to give DICE more than a year and a half to work on the game then you're horrendously mistaken.

Battlefront was always a big budget AAA and DICE didn't make Warfighter.

These were amazing fun in Battlefront 1. I really hope they are brought back.
And if I want anything from this game, it's just battles on a massive scale. Like the second game had 16 vs 16 iirc, or up to 32 vs 32 for that XL mode (I think)
I would love to have battles more like the movies with a hundred or more units on either side. That'd be seriously awesome.

Dice did the multiplayer from the 2010 Medal of Honor and that was it.

Yes, I'm a whiner for having my own opinion.
Why don't you go read a kotaku article or something
I'm pretty excited for this. You know that there are some powerful higher ups at DICE that love the game if they resort to begging them to get the license to do them. This way we know that they're going to be dedicated in making this a game we all remember to love. Well I hope at least. Imagine if this actually holds up to the previous ones.

you are really short-sighted if you think that ea would cut funding for their most profitable gun-shoot developer, and the most anticipated game in the history of forever
[QUOTE=Fatfatfatty;41170208]I bet it will just be battlefield with laser guns.[/QUOTE]
But isn't that exactly what everyone wants?
I hope they don't fuck this up
