The trailer looks sensational, I can't wait to get my hands on this. I also can't believe how good the game looks, it looks even better than Dragon Age. Looks like DICE have done a good job.

i'm thinking star wars, that has soooooo many fans, the kind that buy a game twice, one to play it and the other to keep sealed

Basically it consists of up to 62.2 separate speaker feeds at the theatre rather than conventional cinema speaker systems for 5.1 or 7.1 This provides enhanced ambience in the auditor, both on the horizontal, and especially vertical, e.g. it'll actually sound like rain, or plane/helicopters overhead.
All 64 channels are much more versatile and can all be individually mixed, unlike conventional cinema with 5.1 or 7.1 speaker systems that are locally grouped (image shown below for comparison), Atmos is a much more realistic and natural sounding experience.
Small auditorium example...
can u imagine a game with settings where u can power 2 separate displays and controllers with one pc....
one can only dream
I'll be playing the old, cancelled version of Star Wars Battlefront III from Free Radical here shortly if anyone wants to swing by

Watching now, how/where the hell did you get a playable build?
Is it available for everyone or is there something youre not telling us?

I love Pokken!
At least 2 maps each planet
More than 2 for each planet the tweet says.

No chance. Treyarch got an extra year they're bringing the heat.
I don't mind much. If it's 1080p with a flux in fps. Well, as long as it's not constant drops and it only happens during really crazy shit.
Borman gets a hold of old games and uploads footage of them.
He posts about them on here.

no
"more than two per planet"
Ah ok, that seems like a good number.

I hate that this isn't an option. I've been dreaming about it ever since I built my PC

That's pretty much what happened to me.

I'm hoping at the core nature of the game, there is always really crazy shit happening.
Ima be dive bombing into an AT-AT or At-ST with the Falcon every chance I get. I hope we get something like c4 in the game.
I bet during that StarWars Panel yesterday all that Patrick Bach was listenting through his earplugs was this:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zk9INOq4Wyc
This game will be such a cash cow :d

Holy cow, almost 6 million views for the reveal trailer! :O
That sounds amazing, thanks man.

I have access to many cancelled games. Some of which are in better shape than others. I was the one who first showed off footage of the game.
That's pretty amazing. Why don't games offer 3D audio like those found in the ASMR videos?Holy cow, almost 6 million views for the reveal trailer! :O

Yeah that gif looks comparable to the Silk Road map from BF4 DLC.
Really? Damn, COD still clinging on to last gen... I guess COD AW sold well on 360/PS3.
Not to quibble, but just for the sake of conversation I don't see why not. Just sticking with what's in the films, there's the traditional battlefield for walkers/speeders/those turrets (open) along with the base (close quarters). And those giant transport ships probably wouldn't fit in the hangars shown so there could be an airfield etc. They could easily conjure up 2-3 distinct looking/playing maps there.
Same with Endor. We've seen the forest/Ewok village, but there's also some sort of Imperial base there with landing pads, stairs, walkways and all that stuff.
Was a little strange that people automatically assumed one map per world. As others pointed out yesterday, in all the years of shooters, somehow we haven't run out of earth maps.

I don't think so. They are just bots, which simulate player behavior or just take the place of them .

Absolutely. You could easily get 2 maps right off the bat with Hoth just using the movie scenes. Same with the forest moon. Same with ________. And so forth.

That's binaural audio, and is only really effective with headphones as its the accurate representation of how your ears translate sound in 3D space, and interpret the position of whatever is being recorded.
This Binaural head below had two microphones. One in each ear, so recordings of a a live performance of a band sound like you're there through headphones.
Sony are supporting this for games on Morpheus.
The issue is the amount of time and effort to record in this way multiple sources and to get accurate results without it sounding poor, especially during mixing in the production stage.
Plus the benefits don't seem that great when the extra effort required for an additional binaural mix will only see benefits from through headphones. Recording and mixing process is quite different... So it just adds to dev time. I can sound fantastic though.

No, it's an in-engine rendering.
Same, I'm going to end up buying both but there's no way EA will do something like that when it's not even a standard practice

I don`t get the highly requested single player campaign mode. Battlefront is a multiplayer game, meaning that they wouldn`t have put much effort into the single player campaign. Haven`t you played single player in CoD, Battlefield 4 and Battlefield Hardline? It`s horrible. The "Mission" mode in Battlefront 3 sounds much more replayable and dynamic than some super scriptet campaign mode that will only last 5 hours.

It wasn`t. It has bots with poor AI.
But will Mos Eisley assault return?
It's been in development longer than BF 4 I believe, they're not developing for 5 platforms this time and they have all the improvements that t he BF 4 CTE has to work with although they're different games.
But it does seem like they're trying to get in on the Force Awakens hype. Best thing is just to wait and see how launch goes I guess.

I really hate it when developers do this. Just answer the question, don't try to spin it.
