Support NeoGAF

[0.1.1.2.3.5.8.13.21.34.55]

So guys... AT-ATs, worst tank design of all time or what?

yo dude, modern warfare isn't about speed and mobility, its about being top heavy and support by toothpick thin legs... WISE UP!

 

[KiefbladeMaster]

So it supports Playstation Move too? No, PSN store info (besides the officially provided game description of course) is just some guy ticking off some template values.

¯\_(&#12484_/¯ It's all speculation at this point, they haven't been saying anything regarding resolution or anything but I'd assume it'll be up to par with BF4 at least.

 

[Old Gimlet Eyes]

Absolutely amazing. 60fps and amazing graphics, the Star Wars game I have been waiting for years to come. Based DICE indeed.

 

[bombshell]

Higher quality version.

1080p 30fps 18Mbps 280MB

Thanks for posting!

Does he realize most people are playing on consoles and are having trouble swallowing repeated backing of wild PC visuals??

 

[Dictator93]

The most impressive improvements over BF4 to me here are the high quality material shaders, high quality motion blur and high quality animation. Lighting is probably combination of precomputed and realtime, like in BF4. BF4 already had some of the most impressive character animation I've seen, so I doubt they'd regress there. However, it won't have this kind of hand-scripted animation, of course. It looks like a natural improvement over BF4 to me, with added PBR, better assets/art and more complex lighting much of which is precomputed probably. Micro detail and characters don't look as good as TO1886, which is natural for a non-linear game. As for 60FPS, the game will likely be 30-60FPS much like BF4 multi, and running in 900p.

I would say the micro detail is basically par. But back on the topic at hand.

Lets not forget how BF4 looked and ran on the PS4 whilst having horriblelod, bad IQ, and decidedly less geometric detail, shader complexity, and no SSR

vs.

then the above at a 900p upscale (still having the IQ)

 

[Ominym]

So now the backpedaling begins.

Why do people even bother lying if they're going to be wrong the very next day? For fucks sake, I'm sure the game will look awesome. Just say it will look awesome and move on.

 

[meanspartan]

You know how you could quiet skeptics?

Show us some fucking gameplay instead of cutscene crap.

 

[Einbroch]

What a waste of time.

 

[Fezan]

Not really, just placeholder text.

I don't think they would have the final resolution down just yet. If it is 720p on PS4;
A. The game must look incredible
B. Xbox One though....

Its possible it's just a placeholder though, 900p on PS4 is a safe bet.

I am more interested in motion controls . it say s requires move. Placeholder most probably like bombshell said

 

[keltickennedy]

It's a shame so many people forget how incredible BF4 can look.

Who said BF4 didn't look good?

Are people saying Battlefront won't look good? No. They are simply saying that what was shown was a bunch of fluff. Rightful so...you can't blame them. It's simply a company trying to sell their product, of course they want it to look good.

They did the same thing with the Mirror's Edge 2 reveal. "EVERYTHING IS IN ENGINE" Wow...Neat. Now we will wait and see how the actual game turns out.

 

[EdibleExplosives]

Well, that was kinda disappointing. Cool trailer, but I was expecting a gameplay trailer, not an in-engine one.

 

[Heroman]

People need to lower expectations at 60fps

but Will it be 60 fps or dice 60 fps?

 

[AmaterasuOni]

So... where's the actual game? We saw some pew and then some pew and more pew with some flashes and bangs, but the actual game? There's some 2 second glimpse of a battlefield which looks empty and dull. Was that it? If so, I'm already saying this game will flop hard (not financially, because bullshotting + SW sells a lot, but players will abandon it fast). Call me a pessimist.

Well, at least now they can concentrate on Mirror's Edge 2.

 

[FunkyPajamas]

You know how you could quiet skeptics?

Have it playable at E3 on the show floor.

Why do people even bother lying if they're going to be wrong the very next day? For fucks sake, I'm sure the game will look awesome. Just say it will look awesome and move on.

Because the damage is already done. That tweet image is now all over the place. It got some people hyped. Then they released their "just like gameplay" trailer and now they have the GameStop preorder insanity going on.

I like the last paragraph.

The downgrade thread is going to be so sweet.

Feels like we're witnessing another Watch Dogs scenario in the making.

 

[b0bbyJ03]

I'm only half skeptical... I remember the BF3 reveal and I thought, no fucking way it would look that good, and sure enough it delivered..... on PC only though... then they showed off BF4 fishing in Baku and again, I thought, no fucking way it will look that good, but again they delivered... on PC again of course (the console versions are great but did not match the reveal). Should I doubt them again? Everyone's logic should tell them there is no way the ps4 version will look like this.. its just common sense, but the PC version has a good shot judging by DICE's reveal history.

Jesus christ BF4 was a cross-gen game.

Battlefront is a current/next-gen ONLY game.

Yes, but that BF4 shot is from 30fps single player. Add multiplayer and you lose visual quality already, then add 60fps, and it drops even more.

It ain't gonna be that much better than BF4 singleplayer, if not very close.

 

[Nizz]

I'm still trying to figure out where it was stated this was going to be 60fps on consoles.

 

[OryoN]

That looked pretty incredible! Would like to see how actual gameplay holds up though.
Multiplayer should be fun.

Makes me wish Factor 5 was still around. I really missed some Star Wars love on Nintendo consoles.
What they pulled of on GameCube makes me wonder just how amazing a Wii U Rogue Squadron could look.

 

[nephilimdj]

trailer has to be single player

DICE cant make a game were vehicles are not OP

 

[Lunar15]

Feels like we're witnessing another Watch Dogs scenario in the making.

Yeah, but at least in this case people don't seem to be believing it in the first place. The issue with watch dogs is that everyone bought into it and then flipped out when it wasn't the same.

 

[EchoChamber]

I hope this is a direct x 12 game the bone need it.

 

[Wasp]

Trailer was impressive but even if the trailer is in-engine the actual game will look nothing like this. I expect the actual game to look like a reskin of Battlefield 4/Hardline.

Also it's kinda ridiculous to release such a cinematic trailer (it was even in letterbox format) for a multiplayer only shooter. If the game had a cinematic story mode it would be fair enough but it doesn't as far as I know.

 

[ArchedThunder]

I'm still trying to figure out where it was stated this was going to be 60fps on consoles.

Well I don't think EA will go to Ubisoft extremes by making entire playable demo's of fluff.

 

[Lord Error]

Lets not forget how BF4 looked and ran on the PS4 whilst having horriblelod, bad IQ, and decidedly less geometric

It ran at very solid 60FPS during SP campaign, from which that scene is from. Game looked outstanding on PS4 during many of its scenes, almost unbelievably good for a 60FPS game to me, and it was their first game on the platform, rushed for launch and probably not even remotely as tightly optimized as this game can be. Implementing GPU particles and PBR probably wouldn't cost them much performance anyway.

I don't know, I think you're selling DICE short. They are top-tier visuals developer, they're not just going to sit still while everyone passes them by. They're the kind of developers that invents new techniques, so to me it's not at all unreasonable that their game looks groundbreaking.

There is no single player buds. So I don't know where you're getting your info from.

 

[GnawtyDog]

"Graphics don't matter": I keep getting told......but they certainly get people talking out of their lungs...

The theme for the game looks great in that sequence. Looking forward to it.

 

[bombshell]

Just watched the Gamersyde HQ version.

[Peltz]

Why do they think that this is what we want out of trailers/teasers? I don't really understand why they even spend money to make these movies when we're just going to respond with total skepticism.

 

[Dictator93]

Jesus christ BF4 was a cross-gen game.

Battlefront is a current/next-gen ONLY game.

The point is that BF4 had trouble maintaining 60 at terrible IQ with cross gen assetts and horrible LOD. And then suddenly a game with much much better... everything runs at 60fps? Everything this gen has showed us so far is that games with extremely high quality assets and dense environments run at a certain level on these machines (Order, Ryse, any 30fps game).

IDK man, i really think some people are going to be pretty darn shocked when they see the game running on xb1 or ps4 for the first time. Especially since it is targetting 60.

 

[Slowdive]

Yes there is, just not a proper campaign.

 

[DOWN]

The BF4 shot is single player. The Battlefront shot is a bullshot that is nothing remotely close to console.

BF4's campaign was 60fps and held up quite well.

Didn't every other recent BF game aim for photo realism?

 

[Zomba13]

I'm not the only one thinking "don't believe their lies" right...?

Nope.

Pretty trailer leads to hype. Hype leads to disappointment. Disappointment leads to the dark side.

Plenty of people here are already on the Dark Side, they just don't know they will be disappointed.

Because they blew up a ATST with 1 rocket, thats against DICE design
Needs to take 4 rockets and the ATST to have a system were it defects 1 rocket every 20secs

I wonder if we'll be able to pick race and gender or if those are just tied to the classes(if there are classes).

I know i said i wont buy digital or preorder anymore but this game might be the exception, even though it shouldn't be after BF4.

So torn right now.

digital preorder........yes no........what do i do!

 

[Anton Sugar]

I wonder if we'll be able to pick race and gender or if those are just tied to the classes(if there are classes).

One of the previews speculated that you can, and there were at least three different races of Rebel players in the cinematic trailer.

Holy ***********************************************!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[mrklaw]

This cynicism is all good. Keep your expectations in check. If it looks remotely like the trailer we can all jizz our collective pants. If it doesn't look great, then we won't be massively disappointed because we aren't getting overhyped about it.
