Poll: Star Wars Battlefront. You know we have to talk about it.

[BrotherRool]

I have mixed feelings, I'm a huge fan of the Star Wars Battlefront series but I hate the Battlefield series. Hopefully they don't try and make it Battlefield with a Star Wars skin.

...That is what Battlefront was...

Battlefield with a Star Wars skin. Honestly, if they do it WELL, I don't see the issue. And they did do it well, twice.

Except it wasn't... At least that's not how it ended up, it may have started like that but it didn't end up like that.

I have played battlefield and I have played battlefront. They are very different and Battlefield has never sucked me in like Battlefront.

Just because you were immersed in one and not the other doesn't mean that they weren't, at the core, carbon copies of each other. Just as Saints Row was a clone of GTA. That isn't to say that they didn't add and remove things to improve on the core gameplay of what they were trying to show off.

I have to admit, I thought Battlefront had a very different feel from Battlefield. It was the same capture the area gameplay, but that's only painting with the broadest strokes. Battlefield is much more open world and distributed and squad focused and Battlefront was packed much tighter and a lot more sort of cartoony in feel and play (to me at least)

EDIT:The range of combat felt closer too and they were good at making the blaster rifles feel like proper laser bolts

It hasn't been announced on PC, so I have no interest in it and will have none until it's been announced on PC.

Also...expect Day One DLC, online passes, pay2win weapons, a levelling system...maybe even pay2win unlocking classes and vehicles...because it's EA.

It's DICE, all their games are made for PC... except Bad Company 1.

Also, apparently the hawks at wikipedia caught someone saying something about it being on PC.

OP: Being a multiplayer gamer to an extent, I'm confident that DICE know what they're doing when it comes to combined arms combat, which is everything Battlefront was about. Just don't make it first person.

It's worth repeating what was said up-thread. This isn't DICE who are making the game. It's DICE Los Angeles who were known until 5 months ago as ... Danger Close. The creators of all the cruddy Medal Of Honour Games. EA just renamed them so that people would think DICE were making the game and assume the studio in charge is competent. As you can see from this thread, it worked

Their gameplay didn't feel the same at all. Plus, Battlefront had ai units running around. There were also many more classes. Saints Row is the same. It started as a clone, and is now anything but.

Battlefield 3 with a star wars skin woohoo... I'm a massive fan of the battlefront series but lets all be honest here they're going to stick with what they know best and just do a terrible battlefiels/cod style game. Unoriginal and boring

I'm not sure I see the problem here, since Battlefront 1 and 2 were just Battlefield 1942 with a Star Wars skin. The second one had a few things added to the formula, but it was still following in the footsteps of DICE.

oh i never remembered dying in 2 shots but i guess everyones experience is different
