Come on, now. I, for one, am happy we're not just limited to Imperial/Rebel tech on each side.

I am too, just being a bit facetious. To me the sniper stood out as looking and sounding like a world war gun and felt out of place. Maybe it will feel like it belongs when I play.

If this wasnt star wars I probably wouldnt even be going back and forth over whether to buy it at launch.

That's how I feel.
Hopefully we don't have to wait too long until the next big Star Wars game (and hopefully it's good).

This to be honest

Going to say it again, I'm so confused by the sniper rifle. It looks and sounds like a traditional bullet rifle. What business does it have in this game? Should be a pew-pew sniper.

Tusken Cycler. The (old) lore term for weapons like them were "slug throwers".

 

[DeathoftheEndless]

Why don't we not compare this to an 11 year old game, realize and accept that this is a reboot of a series that is now created by the creators of the original series that Battlefront was directly inspired by, and be happy that we have a full blown war style Star Wars game with beautiful visuals, 60fps gameplay, authentic sound design, lightsaber and air combat, and split screen multiplayer and co-op.

It looks brilliant. A little wonky around the edges with some animation issues and some iffy hero on hero combat, but nothing that will ruin the game.

Can't we just have fun with a game and stop worrying about all the politics and accusations of "cut content!" and things?

I agree. I think it looks pretty great. I don't think people realize that third-person melee combat against a human opponent is always going to be somewhat awkward. That's why very few games have even tried it.

No audio.

Fix this shit, Guerrila!

Edit: Annnddd it's down. Twitch is it

 

[OléGunner]

Read my post further up on this page.

Ahh thank you.

This game will have space battle and the prequel factions for 99.99 season pass. Get your wallet ready bro lol. No seriously I think that's what's gonna happen with all the missing content.

It's Star Wars. My wallet is open by default haha.

But seriously the beta will be a great litmus test to see where I stand, I'm glad Dice are giving us that.

 

[Richard the Lionheart]

And you think DLC to play as Darth Maul wouldnt sell like hotcakes? I think its gonna happen, only a matter of time.

Anything Star Wars will sell (why Disney bought the franchise), it's just my opinion / belief that new content is more exciting and can be marketed much better than any prequel era content. This makes DICE & EA's job easier.

This is a good point. Although, Destiny has it (Halo did too) so there is a precedent with a Triple A developer, recently.

 

[Sayers]

Obviously not enough people have watched Clone Wars.

dem graphics

I see a bit of aliasing shimmer but its still really good looking.

 

[JigglesBunny]

Load times for multiplayer seem to be around 20-30 seconds, visuals look gorgeous and the framerate seems solid.

PS4 version is lookin' good.

 

[JumPeRJumPzZ]

Game looks really amazing on PS4.

Dat Xbone version still to be seen xD

 

[TVexperto]

The game looks amazing but I have a feeling with 8vs8 it will more feel like Call of Duty in this game mode they are showing on the PS4 stream on the Playstation Twitch channel right now

 

[DrGonzo615]

Game looks really amazing on PS4.

Dat Xbone version still to be seen xD

Hasnt it been confirmed that the XBO version will be 720p and the PS4 will be 900p? Same as Battlefield?

 

[Lifejumper]

wow game looks amazing on ps4

 

[bombshell]

I don't think this has been confirmed, but with Frostbite it's likely right.

 

[Frog-fu]

Excitement for this has taken somewhat of a sharp decline. Maybe if they showed more maps or whatever, but for now I'm preparing to be disappointed.

 

[Boke1879]

Drop Zone is definitely going to be good. 8v8 and capturing points. Looks fun and the game sounds amazing.

 

[DeathoftheEndless]

This is a good point. Although, Destiny has it (Halo did too) so there is a precedent with a Triple A developer, recently.

I'm not familiar with Destiny at all, but I don't think lightsabers controlling like the sword or hammer in Halo would be a good idea. The sword duels where you mash a button are lame.

 

[GustyGardens]

There's something off about Darth Vader's voice, isn't there? Do we know who's doing the voice acting?

 

[Yurikerr]

Gotta say that the livestream looks miles better than the videos we saw earlier.

They confirmed how many players will the Dropzone mode be? Edit: Saw that it's 8 vs 8. Thanks bombshell

And thank god the streamers are at least decent players

 

[AuthenticM]

Is it me or does the game look simpler than Battlefield?

 

[bombshell]

Dropzone is 8v8.

The other MP mode in the beta, Walker Assault, is 20v20.

 

[DrGonzo615]

seeing some assets pop in on the PS4 stream....small rocks on the ground. Seems pretty random though, its not noticeable until it is. Not a big deal but hopefully that gets ironed out.

 

[Richard the Lionheart]

PS4 version is lookin' good.

First person is truly amazing. Third is a lot smoother than the YouTube vids. I wonder if there's a difference with hero mode, or if that might be a lost cause

 

[JetBlackPanda]

wow first person is so much better then third and holy shit the graphics are insane on PS4.

 

[co1onel]

a lot of shadows popping in too

 

[Boke1879]

Chat insufferable like always.

 

[Richard the Lionheart]

I'm not familiar with Destiny at all, but I don't think lightsabers controlling like the sword or hammer in Halo would be a good idea. The sword duels where you mash a button are lame.

Destiny added blocking, which allows for counter-attacks. Simple and effective.

 

[Saucycarpdog]

Did they confirm the resolution or frame rate on consoles yet? I would imagine PC will be the same 1080p 60fps as usual.

 

[Lifejumper]

Lmao seeing luke go apeshit in the stream.

 

[JumPeRJumPzZ]

same is happening in PC footage too

 

[Timu]

They haven't for resolution.

 

[ryan299]

I don't like how the hero tokens are random. It should be like Titanfall. The better you do, the quicker you can get to be a hero.

 

[Machina]

Watching the Twitch stream....You guys are crazy, this looks amazing

 

[Boke1879]

LMAOO seeing Luke move so fast would scare the shit outta me.

Gotta say this stream has been good. Things are looking and sounding good. Can't wait for the Beta

60 fps, resolution to be confirmed.

 

[JumPeRJumPzZ]

dat rubberbanding

 

[RedAssedApe]

can't wait to hear this game over a nice pair of headphones

 

[JetBlackPanda]

what kind of monster doesn't invert flight controls.

 

[Garrett Hawke]

So excited for the beta going to try it on all platforms I think, but if I enjoy it I'm going to grab it on PS4 tbh.

 

[trixx]

When the game was first announced I was very hyped. Now not so much, and I can't seem to pinpoint exactly why this is the case. Maybe I need to play it before judging.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

Same. Doubt I'll bother though.
