Support NeoGAF

I saw someone ask earlier but didn't see if there was ever an answer...will this game have anything like Conquest from Battlefield? What modes are in the alpha?

The closest hint we have so far is a multiplayer mode named Supremacy. DICE have said many times that there are still plenty of modes and maps that they have yet to reveal.

Only Hoth Walker Assualt (from E3) and the Tatooine Survival mission (also from E3) are in the alpha.

OMG im so excited to get home and try this finally!!!

lucky bastard. <3

disney is going to be rolling in money this winter.

 

[Guy.brush]

I wonder if they address Hoth's cold at all? Could be cool to have to get to a heat source once in a while.

 

[GavinUK86]

holy crap, jetpack + grenade combo is amazing

 

[Matrix XII]

I can hardly express how excited I am for this game.

It's their fault. Their user names are flying around the screen. If they want to risk getting their Origin accounts permabanned and be unable to play any EA game online on any platform, that's on them.

k?
What does that have to do with salty people reporting and scaring streamers into going offline?

 

[BulletTheory]

looking hot! I take it all the official footage theyve shown so far has been from PC version?

PS4.

The air vehicles need a lot of improvement. They simplified the controls to much for a casual audience. It feels very different than battlefield. I really would like to be able to pop open a larger map to get a sense of the actual battlefield.

How does the subsystem management work? Is it just "power to weapons" or "power to thrusters" or is it more complex than that?

I have no idea how that bar is supposed to work, there is nothing in the controls for it, just confusing.

 

[knerl]

Me too. If this runs and looks great on a 970/I5 rig I will be buying my first game off Origin.

With 4xMSAA, everything on ultra at 1080p in BF4 with a i5 2500K @ 4.3GHz and a 970 I get 60fps min! Average sits between 80-90. That's in 64 player matches too. Bet this is going to be smooth as butter too.

wow looks amazing. especially for an alpha. Usually still being in alpha indicates the graphics will get better right?

Survival got me interested. Is it unlimited waves? Fight as long as you last or is it like 10 waves and a boss and thats it?

Just 6 waves.

 

[Pastry]

I doubt graphics will get better. From now on its probably just bugs, optimization and balance.

 

[Tecnniqe]

Just 6 waves.

Aww lame. Here i was hoping for some real hordemode style in SW universe.
Do it have a level up system or something along the lines of ME's survival mode then i guess?

 

[Burgess_101]

Im not really interested in online MP so I probably won't pick this up but my word does it sound the part.

 

[Spl1nter]

It is not the full mode. The main mode is supposed to have 15 levels I read somewhere. This is seemingly just the e3 demo build.

Edit, turns out there are more than 6 waves, I just watched another vid and it had 15. So it might vary on the difficulty I guess.

Can you toss me a link to that 15 wave one?
Also im still sad there are no unlimited waves this far. Hope it gets put in. Love those modes.

Tempted to buy this game now D:

The Hype Is Real

 

[Sn4ke_911]

I love how suddenly the famous Star Wars music kicks in, really gives you the feeling you're replaying one of the movies battle scenes.

From what i've seen the atmosphere is amazing, can't wait to play it myself.

 

[Taishan]

So the power ups found throughout the map have a timer when picked up? Seems like its 30seconds before its removed.

 

[SargerusBR]

HNNNNNGH 60fps videos

HNNNNNGH 60fps videos

Wow already down, welp that was fast.

EA watching over GAF like a hawk, hello EA, where is my alpha invite? :3


At least the 60fps videos are still up, be fast peope if you want to see this!

 

[JumPeRJumPzZ]

Ive saved 5 or more videos from youtube through the day

Pretty sure they don't, most of them remain through death as well

Funny that they were removed from the website, but not mega.

 

[BaronMonstro]

Anyone else not able to access the private alpha feedback forums for some reason? Have they just not set them up yet or what?

 

[Sn4ke_911]

Any hero/villain footage leaked yet?

 

[AESplusF]

They aren't in the alpha

Ah, ok.

Any new links all seem to be down

The download links are still up on that site, scroll down.

I am at work, can't download stuff, if anyone has a stream it will be appreciated.

Just watched a video where the AT-STs and TIE fighters were on a timer after picked up.

I suck at flying in battlefield and feel like I miss out on 25% of the game because of it, so I'm happy to hear this (sorry to the vets of course, props on your skills)

They are harder to control because they are oversimplified.

Yeah the X-Wing is on a timer as well, but the shield, orbital strike and thermo grenade etc aren't.

Here's one.

 

[Yasae]

Damn, Y-wings are fast. I'm so used to their slow, highly vulverable bombing run version in Empire at War.

 

[JDHarbs]

Can anyone that got into the alpha confirm that there is controller support for the PC version, and how good it is? Battlefield's controller support has had issues on PC in the past like a lack of button prompts or no aim assist.

 

[Conkerkid11]

So far, I really like the audio, visuals, UI, and health bars above enemies.

I really like this sound especially: http://webm.host/3d634/vid.webm

Reminds me of the seismic bomb from Attack of the Clones: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=erFcYsC6JaY

 

[Thanati]

No way is this an alpha build.

Yes it can. There are many stages of 'Alpha'. This is probably external Alpha build.

 

[J-Rzez]

My rig is:
I7 2600k stock clock
Zotac 780 amp edition

Game is maxed out and holds at 60fps. Despite its looks, it runs well beyond average Alpha builds.

If you like battlefront in the past, you will like this gameplay.

Sounds and effects seem straight out of the movies, it's that good.

 

[darthbob]

No way is this an alpha build.

Internally? Hell no. This is certainly a high level beta.

The beta that may come later will in all likelihood be a release candidate or a delta build.

 

[Sharpeye]

Damn, Y-wings are fast. I'm so used to their slow, highly vulverable bombing run version in Empire at War.

And unlike the Empire you can run out of bombers if enough get destroyed. Besides Mon Calamari frigates the rebels were scrubs when it came to space combat in that game.
