The hero battle look awful. Also they can't deflect blaster bolts with lightsabers? In the first video the player just keeps walking into them.
There's no story campaign, but there's survival missions that can be played offline solo, offline 2 player splitscreen co-op or online 2 player co-op.

Game looks so much better in first person with good motion blur. Goddamn.
I wish it was a 60fps vid though.
How would you handle it? Completely change the mechanics for heroes? Can you tell me a shooter that completely changed things up when it comes to melee based characters? (Mainly because there are no melee based character in shooters?)
This is Battlefront. This is what fans of the game wanted.

Well yeah, if you don't want to put the effort into making the Heroes fight with proper melee combat then don't put them into the game.
This has the Battlefront in title, yes. Don't go around saying "this is what fans of the game wanted" without playing the full game first. There are plenty of "fans" still angry about the lack of space combat and what not.

Looks great. Can't wait until the beta drops.
I checked hero gameplay from two youtubers and I have to agree that jackfrag's videos make it look very bad. Not so much on Battlefrontupdate's videos. It looks like the first youtuber was just mashing buttons senselessly... No wonder it looks so janky.

I've yet to play a battlefront game so this could be my first. Looked a bit boring from the game-play shown. Shame there's no single player to get me up to speed a bit.
This game comes out later this month? Why are they doing a beta this late? I might just put this on the gamefly queue because damn for a game with no campaign, there is a shockingly little amount of polish there.
Betas this late server three purposes. One is obviously to demo the game to everyone. Another is netcode stress testing. Even with the game gold or almost gold, the network side of things can be fixed all the way up to release. The final is preparing client side fixes for day one and immediate post launch patches.This game comes out later this month? Why are they doing a beta this late?

No, we haven't. There is still a relatively large active fan base for the original games. Also the industry moved to popcorn reward based shooters that mean nothing.Gemüsepizza;180774458 said:"Fans of the game". Who are those people? It has been a decade since the last game.

Yet those fans will buy anyway. =x
Also, Jackfrags videos weren't very good. The other videos showing off hero combat were better plus there is a Beta this week. Can try it yourself.
There are never much hero vs. hero fighting in Battlefront anyways and the fact they have a saber clash is already an upgrade. lol
Again, what is "proper" melee combat in a game like this?

There's so little recoil on the machine gun type weapons, players can seemingly just hold down the fire button and point it in the direction of enemies. That's disappointing on two different levels - managing recoil is fun, and adds a lot of skill, but I also don't remember PEWPEWPEWPEWPEW being a part of the Star Wars movies.
Their games have always been buggy at launch, but they've never been unplayable. Even Battlefield 4 obstently worked on release. Considering the smaller scale of this game compared to Battlefield 4 and the longer time they've had to work on it (plus I'd imagine a bigger budget too) I'm a bit more confident in its launch state.One might say that Dice doesn't have a sterling past when it comes to big launches though. I can't remember the last game they shipped that worked at launch going back to Battlefield 2 on PC. One might infer that perhaps a change to the way they work might benefit everyone.
UnchartedAre there ANY AAA games that GAF finds appealing looking?

Never mind, lol.Are there ANY AAA games that GAF finds appealing looking?

What does that even mean? Jesus.
You're right. After watching those vids it doesn't look nearly as bad as the first videos lol. It's still going to look and feel a bit janky simply because that sort of combat most likely won't translate well in a shooter game.

This 1 hit sniper is going to be annoying... everyone will use it
Any game that crashes directly to the dashboard and then deletes campaign saves is pretty much broken. Hell, I can't even tell you the first time I saw actual their big destruction stuff. It had to be a month after the game came out.
Until a melee focused game comes out I just don't see saber duels looking anything like the movies.
