I would imagine very similar to all graphically intense fb3 games. 720-900p @ 40-60 fps depending upon what is happening.

I honestly think this mode was pretty hype too. Chat seemed to love it.
And yea this Playstation stream was a good call. GAF can't WAIT to have a community for this game with you all.

Im worried about the server stability... watching the stream, there is already some rubberbanding going on.. with such a low amounf of players...
PSN will probably be down on thursday too lol
I don't know. It was just this giant map with some guys running everywhere with lots of empty fields for you to get snipped by skilled players.
For me, it looked like a poor conquest reskin
Things went pretty smoothly during the COD beta as far as PSN is concerned.

That CoD Beta wasnt open for the first days... and Star Wars is probably a bit bigger than CoD... so who knows.
You're talking about EA servers this game will not launch smoothly like Need for Speed it will hit max capacity in no time and then the fun starts and i will be watching from afar.

seriously the graphics are amazing. I would kill for an adventure game with the frostbite engine. Ala shadows of the empire.
I don't. The mode is objective based so it does funnel people to a location. Just watching these guys play there seems to be plenty of ways to escape trouble.

I like what I'm seeing, it will at least fulfill my shooter needs for the next months.
Pre-load is available on Wednesday, but I think it's for PC only. PS4 and XB1 will need to download the day of. Beta officially starts Thursday.

Thursday...
I doubt it'll sell more than COD at least initially.
I'll give you that though. The beta is open to everyone on PS4 with an internet connection day one. PSN may experience issues but it's clear DICE is doing this is a stress test as well so there most likely will be downtime.

We already know Fett and we know The Falcon and the Slave 1? will be playable. I wonder who else?
Han? Lando? Chewie?

Thanks pals (instant replies)
I couldn't find the date anywhere, why are they not letting people pre-load because every-man & his dog are going to be trying to download at once, will it be midnight release? i'm in the UK, so i may just stay up to download it.
This is actually how I feel. The game looks good, albeit a little rough around the edges, but aside from it defintely being Star Wars (which is a huge plus for me as I'm a big Star Wars fan) it doesn't seem terribly special. Who knows though, maybe the beta will change my mind and as long as there aren't any major issues in the beta I will stick to my day one purchase plan.

They'll be DLC I expect.
Yeah, the footage doesn't really hype me much either.
Impressions from several people I know who have played it have said it's a pretty smooth 60, more consistent than BF4. I'll find out for myself on Thursday.
I kind of hope that DICE's 60fps Frostbite games eventually have dynamic res. There's a huge gap in overhead for stuff like 64 player Conquest and 16 player Domination and I'd like to see that taken advantage of in the applicable modes.

They showed Fett in the reveal trailer, so I doubt he'll be DLC. We also saw the Slave 1, as well as the Falcon, and there has been evidence of Chewie in the game files, so Han and/or Chewie will probably be included, too.
I have to think they'll go with some sort of parity for each "side" when it comes to heroes, though.
So, there's
Luke - Vader
Fett - Solo
Etc.

The thing is they reduced destruction and player count in Battlefront. So i hope the Xbone version got some improvements too, especially Resolution.
And i rather have a constant res with a good AA solution than dynamic res with switching all over the place.
I meant more switching based on mode than continually throughout play.

Kylo Ren, with a legion of sith knights.

That's the Carbine. It is an old-style bullet rifle and one of the extra Cards you can equip in the game. Lots of damage, single shot.
(Yes, I've played the beta.)

Oh I meant TFA characters. I can see a Force Awakens character set next year. I'd guess at Kylo, Finn, Rey and Phasma at least. Chewie and Han are definitely in.
Lifejumper
Member
Did you enjoy the beta?
Then no doubt we're getting Kylo Ren, Rey, Finn, and Captain Phasma at some point.
Again. Loved that stream. Shit looked fun and it'll be fun to play with Gaf. It was HILARIOUS seeing Luke run around the damn map like that. I'd hate to be an imperial and run into him.
Anton Sugar

Oh, gotcha! Yeah, for sure.
Shit, they could probably make a KILLING just releasing $5-10 character packs every so often.
Yea, the movement and gameplay of the Heroes looks really rough. Not to mention the explosions of the vehicles, i.g. TIE Fighters, seem underwhelming with them just disappearing as they hit the ground. I'm certainly hoping that they can improve upon the game before its release, but I've had a bad feeling about this one for a while. I'd bet they are rushing this out the door to try and coincide with the movie.

That community manager was almost talking about other dlc than Jakku... so its happening for sure.

I think my strategy will be to leg it and let him kill someone else instead.

He also mentioned anti-vehicle turrets when he was speaking about the drop-zone items. Only playable vehicles we know of so far other than ships are Speeder Bikes and AT-ST, correct? I wonder if there will be more.

I went ahead and made a BattlefrontGAF PS4 community. Search my PSN (SG-17) to find it.
I would seriously hope they would be included in a broader DLC package. I said earlier in the thread. There post launch support will be what keeps the playerbase interested in the game. If their post launch support is like BF4 then this game should have a dedicated community for at least a year.
Yep. Same with Vader. I'm hauling ass.
