I know that the industry is not in the best shape right now, but they could have had a big hit on their hands if they would have done a true remaster instead of re-release. They seemed to have done a sloppy cut and paste that a lot of folks will not touch.

 

[MiguelItUp]

You're right, they really could have, but they didn't for whatever reasons. We may never really know why things went the way they did. But man did the final product just scream low effort mess.

Then the whole use of community created mods with out any recognition, saying it was an accident that was only in footage, but then having it all in the code. So, they lied about it. The whole thing really has been handled so poorly. It's like the GTA Remastered Collection again, if not worse.

I’m out of the loop on this one (I’ve seen the complaints online though).

What did they mess up?

No bad choices involving Star Wars surprise me anymore. It's like a golden goose that keeps getting choked close to death for some reason.

Seen some reviews on Youtube, Angry Joe, Worth a Buy etc, the reception isn't good and rightfully so, Aspyr made the games worse!.

 

[digoutyoursoul]

Shit attitudes at the studio/publisher and taking peoples purchasing habits for granted.

Oh boy...

 

[Dr.Morris79]

Have they even attempted a patch yet?

To say that the battlefront collection is a remaster is just obscene

To say an entire franchise like Star Wars is bad is a freak thing to say

Where did you get that from my post?

 

[Hudo]

Let me put it this way: They've managed to make the classic Battlefront games, which are universally, absolutely, unequivocally, irrefutably better than the DICE-produced Battlefront games. And they made these classics even worse.

It takes a special kind of talent to drop the ball that hard.

No 300 million budget

 

[Krappadizzle]

They messed up pretty damn good. It was pretty much tee'd up already for player expectations and they really didn't have to do too much to get a already hungry fanbase on board. And from the server issues, horrendous file size bloat, lying about using mods.... They've done a horrible job.

 

[darrylgorn]

It's so bad that it feels like someone would have to intentionally make the game worse.

 

[justiceiro]

Hopefully this lead to a new crowbcat video.

Aspyr is just a terrible, lazy developer. Simple as that.

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

To early to tell.

 

[Dr. Wilkinson]

I dunno, it didn't show well at all in the Direct, so it was an immediate hard pass no for me. Looked like a lazy copy/paste bare-bones port.

To play the devil's advocate, they're not the biggest studio. And they put out the (rather good) Tomb Raider trilogy remaster just a month or two ago as well. They were likely stretched very thin.

They dropped the ball hard. They could have had something amazing.
