Star Wars: Battlefront

[Connor Harrison]

At Star Wars Celebration, the 10th official convention focused on the iconic property, EA's DICE studio showcased the first game in its decade-long plan: Star Wars: Battlefront, set to launch on November 17, 2015, for PC, Xbox One and PS4.

Powered by EA's Frostbite engine, Star Wars: Battlefront brings large-scale, multiplayer-focused battles back to gamers for the first time since the series disappeared after Star Wars: Battlefront 2 launched in 2004.

The Battlefront franchise were some of my favourite games on the PS2 growing up. Excited to see what they'll cook up for the new one, especially since I'm a fan of the Battlefield franchise, as well.

........

I'm a little boy all over again.

Only this time with better graphics.... and better at playing games.

 

[Darth Athora]

Hnnnng. I surely hope they bring starfighter battles in this. Then it would bring my two favorite games on playstation 2: battlefront and jedi starfighter. pls. pls. pls. plsssss. So much YES.

Unconfirmed by EA, but according to IGN, GM of DICE has said no space battles, prequel stuff, or single-player campaign.

That Battle of Jakku Free DLC......nice going EA.

Welcome to the new decade of video games. Sell the smallest sliver of content you can at release, then charge extra for expansions to build out the game to what it was supposed to be. In some cases, you can double (or more!) the amount people will spend on the games with paid DLC alone.

I have harsh words for EA, but I'll reserve them from this place.

Wait, no single player campaign? That probably means no bots either which I see as the greatest thing with the Battlefront games, so I don't have to rely on someone else wanting to play for me to have fun... Oh well, I guess I shall just have to wait until it's clearly stated before I get all fussy .

 

[Connor Harrison]

I believe the 'Battle Of Jakku' will be the only space-battle we experience, as the DLC mentioned above, but that should be SO cool to see how that Star Destroyer ended up on the surface from the teaser!

 

[Long Gone]

That would mean an SSD would be involved.

Hrm....

No Xbox One Pre-Orders yet O_O

DICE sucks at singleplayer campaigns. If you've played the more recent Battlefield games, you already know this. The multiplayer is where it's at.

 

[Noah Corek]

About damn time! And DICE is making it, even better!

 

[Thurion Heavenshield]

Also, I'm sure there'll still be TIE-fighters and X-wings to pilot, just not in space. It'll most likely be inside the planet atmophere much like the Battlefield games where you can pilot helicopters and jets.

They wouldn't show off the fighters if they weren't in the game in some form.

 

[Noah Corek]

Battlefield games where you can pilot helicopters and jets.

If it's exactly like that then I won't be any good. I suck at piloting those things.

 

[Thurion Heavenshield]

I suck at piloting those things.

You and me both.

No Xbox One Pre-Orders yet O_O

#PS4


But seriously, this game looks awesome. Pre ordering ASAP.

Oh I know how 'great' DICE is at single player campaigns, I would at least wish for bots if anything though, since my internet ain't so good right now, and it doesn't seem like it will improve for a while.

 

[Gilamar Skirata]

You can dogfight in game but so far no space has been confirmed.

My body is ready.

 

[Fatty]

Also, even though they suck, Dice will still throw one out. They aren't titanfall levels of stupid.
