Not a huge advance over BF4.

Sorry, but the lighting alone is on a completely different level.

 

[Zeyphersan]

Shit, I guess I am getting this game

Gotta make sure I have a new PC in time

 

[SargerusBR]

High-res!

"In our game, we want to bring the fantasy of dogfighting to players. 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. Yes, it's a bit odd for a Star Wars combat game to not a map set in space, but as long as the vehicles move like we expect them too, it doesn't matter where the dogfighting unfolds. Electronic Arts' press release for Battlefront reveals the Millennium Falcon as one of the playable ships.

THIRD PERSON IS BACK

All praise yohan.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

Forgive my ignorance, I've never played Battlefront before but is it basically Star Wars Battlefield?

Not a huge advance over BF4.

In terms of shading and geometry it is definitely. But... I will have to wait for more footage.

regarding Vehicles, no space battles confirmed:

That is okay. The planets look amazing.

No space battles? Only Original Trilogy factions? No ambient creatures (ewoks, etc.)? You're really putting a damper on my hype, DICE.

It's had a short dev cycle. We are lucky to get even this much. Now just pray that it won't take a year for the game to actually work.

 

[Heroman]

Pretty much.

 

[0racle]

As Chewi would say

"Bnghhnghngahnaghngahnajajajajaja"

 

[Scully Scully Scoo]

dice need to work on level design, bf3/bf4 maps was filled with narrow choke points that 10+ players would fight over. they need to design maps like they did bad company 2

 

[HariKari]

In terms of shading and geometry it is definitely. But... I will have to wait for more footage.

I should note I'm talking about the PC version. Console version should have more IQ (than console BF4) if they are only going for 40 players tops.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

" Electronic Arts' press release for Battlefront reveals the Millennium Falcon as one of the playable ships."

OMG!!!!

 

[Tubie]

Wait wait wait it's only 20 vs 20? Are there AI running around too I hope?

What we saw was a 40-player mode called Walker Assault, which we can only speculate will be used for other maps like Hoth and Tatooine. Fegraeus says that Battlefront is first and foremost a multiplayer game, but it also caters to people who don't want to play with others or be connected to the internet.

The mode they showed was 40 players.

There's still a chance other modes like Conquest are 64 players.

 

[suddenlyissoon]

One step closer to a persistent battlefield game

 

[Steel]

Calling Airstrikes? Out of game loadout equipment set-up(which probably means level-up)? I kinda expected this kinda thing, but ugh....

 

[CaptainTiptop]

Yeah, I'm expecting space battles to be one of the themes for a DLC pack. It's still EA, after all.

But goddamn, so hyped.

 

[Namikaze1]

Splitscreen confirmed :O

Fuck yeah!

 

[LegalEagleMike]

Honestly with the lack of space battles I am more confident about DICE's ability to release a stable game on launch.

 

[Kenzodielocke]

Kinda Funny React Star Wars Battlefront They showed the pre-alpha on PS4, so PS4 marketing deal confirmed.

 

[Lakitu]

No space battles wouldn't be too bad if the sky ceiling is higher than BF 4 and BF 3, and things like Star Destroyers are in atmosphere.

 

[Rez Raider]

Little disappointed about 40 players if true, I kinda hoped there would be more or a separate game mode for people who would want to play with more.

 

[Auctopus]

Those are such odd acreens to release. They're not quite concept and they're not quite gameplay.

 

[GavinUK86]

Well, there's my new desktop wallpaper.

Can't unsee the boots clipping through the trousers though.

 

[Nabbis]

Forgive my ignorance, I've never played Battlefront before but is it basically Star Wars Battlefield?

About as similar as Quake 3 and UT are. They are similar, but they have their nuanced differences.

 

[ArchedThunder]

High-res!

If the game can look like this with some jaggies on PS4 I'm going to shit myself, it's fucking gorgeous.

 

[TheGreatDirector]

Lord have mercy those screens...

 

[Nokterian]

So Battlefield with Star Wars skin as expected.

 

[SniperHunter]

hmm lack of space battles sucks, but maybe for the dlc

 

[iratA]

OH THOSE SCREENS HOLY SHIT BALLS!! Sorry I just ..... They look amazing!!

 

[Dictator93]

I should note I'm talking about the PC version. Console version should have more IQ (than console BF4) if they are only going for 40 players tops.

Well even then, taking a look a t the character model close up and the ground in the forest scene. It definitely has way more geometric detail than BF4.

 

[HariKari]

Calling Airstrikes? Out of game loadout equipment set-up(which probably means level-up)? I kinda expected this kinda thing, but ugh....

I imagine it works like BF4s bombing run, as it's described by GI. Not a huge deal. Probably not in all modes.

Go check out some of the bullshots BF4 had pre release. It's really not ahead of those.

 

[ironcreed]

The lighting and the trees. Just... unreal.

Not much of a jump over BF4 my ass.

 

[bombshell]

The mode they showed was 40 players.

There's still a chance other modes like Conquest are 64 players.

Yeah, that is definitely possible.

 

[Rixxan]

That is okay. The planets look amazing.

They could easily establish a space map on a hanger and allow "space" combat in essentially the same constrained style as a planet based map

DLC for sure imo

 

[matthieuC]

The lighting and the trees. Just... unreal.

Not much of a jump over BF4 my ass.

This shot is amazing

 

[BY2K]

No space battles, seriously!?

 

[RoKKeR]

According to KindaFunny the gameplay demo was on a PS4 and everybody was incredibly impressed with the footage. Want to know about the framerate!

 

[LNBL]

I'm ok with this, i love the sound of character customization including race etc

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

No space in a star wars game? Basura

 

[GustyGardens]

 

[SniperHunter]

According to KindaFunny the gameplay demo was on a PS4 and everybody was incredibly impressed with the footage. Want to know about the framerate!

nice

i will probably get both the pc and the ps4 versions

 

[SpyGuy239]

I just lost it again for the second time this week.

I can't even concentrate on my Finals anymore.

It's a great time to be alive!

 

[raven777]

Those shots look amazing!

 

[Noobcraft]

Yeah, that is definitely possible.

I would hope so, they had 64 player matches in battlefront 2 on PC.

 

[EroticSushi]

Those are such odd acreens to release. They're not quite concept and they're not quite gameplay.

As someone else pointed out in the previous thread, they look to be gameplay screenshots that are set up. Directional lighting, camera, supersampling, etc

They did the same with BF4 and the final game looked more or less the same.

 

[CryptiK]

Hahahaha and no space battles? This keeps getting better(read: worse).
