Split screen is 30fps and there are some reports of a 30/60 option (which I think may just be confusion over split screen) but it is playable at 60fps on console.

Star Wars Battlefront gameplay

- Start date
Splitscreen on PS4 is 30fps, otherwise it's 60fps.
Haven't seen it in this thread yet, but there's PC footage out, released yesterday:

I never played the original series but this does look pretty cool. Not, say, Rogue Squadron IV cool (RIP Factor 5), but I'll take a little starfighter/ground combo as need be. Not really sure though, no single player campaign...
Yeah. I really have not been following this game that much, damn I'm an idiot. I am now way more excited for this. If DICE can pull this and Mirror's Edge: Catalyst off, that's a hell of a double punch.
... but huh, couch co-op, more games need this, and my buddy and I can certainly crush a full day marathon once a month or so. Maybe I should...
... think about gettings this, as I hate ADS (I'm too old, Goldeneye, Halo, PC FPS land set my opinion) and the loss of mobility but...
... this all sounds much much better then I thought it would, short TTK is a dealbreaker for me. I just wish there were bots or something, not enough games have that and honestly online MP never really been my main jam...
... oh, quite, SOLD!, assuming reviews hold up.Niklas Fegraeus said:

Wait this is still 60fps?
Thought it was 30 and I was still impressed as hell.
Of this is 60fps, then we are bordering on Naughty God Black Magic here...

900p according to a pixel counter over at B3D.
Oh crap so another Dice game at 720p on Xbox?
I really with this were coming to Steam, I don't hate Origin but I'd rather stick to the one digital distribution service than switch between the two for just a couple of games.
It does look promising, even though it's currently lacking space battles and such it does look quite good.

Possibly
Which would be a shame. You would think Frostbite would be improved enough to bump the resolution.
60fps comes at cost. Its fidelity or resolution, they chose fidelity.

I love Pokken!
Was hoping they would manage to get 1080p this time. Still looks amazing.

Hmm, even in the poor quality, looking at this leads me to believe the other Tattooine (or whatever) footage is probably PS4.
True
I had hoped after shipping two games with FB on current consoles they made some kind of breakthrough and didn't need to choose one over the other

Even Dragon Age (which is pretty but hardly groundbreaking) ran at a lower resolution on XB1 and 30 FPS on PS4 IIRC, it's a clearly good engine but it can't work miracles.
Does anyone know if split screen works in online multiplayer? This would be so amazing if it did.
Wow! The sound is incredible, especially when he put the shield up and laser beams started hitting it. I also love the look of the font they used.

Christ, that sound design.

Yea, same as BF4, it is expected that it might be 720p on XB1

So, I've heard that flying is a one stick bore fest.
Is this true? I'm wondering if they can do anything to improve the flying experience prior to launch.

Yeah, it is ridiculously basic at this point, but someone at DICE said it's going to go through a lot of changes between now and launch. I wouldn't expect anything more complicated than prior DICE BF games, though.
There's no MP splitscreen, this was confirmed long ago, i think.
The game seems to be all about accessibility, any effects on depth or skillgap be damned.
No doubt because they want to sell as much the game as the can, to capitalize on TFA hype.

The sound of the shield absorbing the hits is incredible.

I have heard people who have played the game pretty much confirm it's one stick to fly and apparently it's disastrously shit.

lol
900p isnt really that bad and it looks like they improved the AA this time around.
Sadly the Xbone version will probably be 720p again :/
If there is one thing Dice excel at its sound design.
For BF they have done videos showing them record weapon sounds from multiple distances/etc - they should make a parody video of them testing out Star Wars weapons by inserting Dice employees into the movies.

Yup, exactly what I was thinking of.
What are the chances Gaf will have a gamer ID/tag exchange thread for this game? I started gaming on PC last year but have not built a friends list yet and I def don't wanna play this alone. I've got a ton of friends on PS4 but we are all in our 30s so its even getting hard to coordinate on that as well.... I'd like to add a bunch of people to both lists.

Which is a huge shame. Elite: Dangerous really spoiled me as far as space combat goes, but I wasn't expecting anything like that--still, an "accessible" flight model sounds like a horrible idea.

Snow level was definitely labelled PS4. Desert level has PS4 buttons on the HUD.
Strangely they seem to be different builds even though they were released at the same time. Tatooine has button labels on the HUD but Hoth does not.

I would hope that they would finally invest some time into the Xbone version. But i doubt it. If that PS4 gameplay is stii/already only 900p 1,i dont see the same for the Xbone version

But at the moment its not going to happen. And i doubt that this will change.
Man i really hope we get a Beta for this game *.*
Maybe announcement at GamesCom?

Yeah. There was also a complaint about there not being transition animations for when pilots get into their cockpits.
Seems like a weird omission considering they aren't putting any effort into a single player aspect of this title.
They should be going for as much in the moment immersion as they can.
Keepin my fingers crossed. I feel like DICE has had a demo or public beta for all the Battlefield games, it'd be a bummer if they don't do it for Battlefront. :[

Hey, do we know what modes this will have?
I really hope there's traditional Conquest.
And how does the single player/co-op with bots work? Is every mode supported? That would be awesome.

Both levels were PS4 apparently. 900p and 60 fps. Looks damn impressive though

I've heard the opposite.
