Seeing what Luke is up to after ROTJ should be worth the price of admission. Remember this shit is canon.

The extent to which any of this will actually be regarded as canon has always been kinda questionable to me. I don't expect it to contradict the films at all, but I have my doubts it will interlock or be referenced in other SW media.

I'm pretty sure Luke and Kylo Ren are confirmed playable in the story.

If the story takes place directly after the Battle of Endor, it's unclear to me how they would fit Kylo Ren into it.

Story expands from ROTJ until TFA.

 

[Renekton]

WTF? The FX-8350 is nowhere near a 6700

Why not put Ryzen there instead?

The writer was on the Kinda Funny Gamescast recently and he made mention of working with the Lucasfilm story group. It will be just as cannon as any of the books or comics.

It takes place between Episodes 6 and 7 and spans the 30 years. There's loads of room for him towards the end

It takes place over the 30 years between ROTJ and TFA.

This looks a lot better than the first game.

 

[v1lla21]

Damn, john boyega makes a great narrator. I really enjoyed the first game so I can't wait for this since it looks much better.

Based on the alpha and leaks.

Doesn't look too bad, but not optimal either, some of these are quite significant in difference between common and higher rarities. I also have a guess that it will take a long time to upgrade these cards.

 

[Strakt]

Def looks better than the first; will keep an eye out for reviews on launch instead of straight up buying it like last time

 

[AR15mex]

Yeah, I saw the trailer and has really good marketing, but the way they show the locations maps makes me worry about preordering the game.

Surprised they're not recommending in terms of Ryzen. Glad I upgraded from my FX-6350 earlier this year though, if it's the minimum spec for this game.

 

[digoutyoursoul]

Looks awesome, I liked DICE's first effort but this looks on another level.

 

[watership]

Looks much improved. Really interested in the Xbox one X details. Since the marketing is Sony I think we won't know anything until after release.

 

[kurahador]

Great trailer. I just hope the mp on pc won't be barren after a few weeks.

nor the fx6350 to the 6600k

[WillyFive]

Looks amazing. For now just interested in SP and co-op though.

Please, haha. Not that shit again.

Again? When has that ever happened?

 

[Raide]

The lack of season pass makes this way more interesting. Hopefully that means no modes being utterly barren.

 

[Berzerkiymc]

Whoa at beta requirements! 6600k minimum????

I just upgraded to a i5 6400, am I fucked?

 

[jmizzal]

I hope the SP is worth a damn. Star Wars deserves more solid SP experiences.

This is not the game to expect it in, it will be in the big Star Wars games that are being made by other devs, this is a multiplayer first game

 

[M.W.]

Still a wait and see. Not getting burned again.

 

[facetheslayer92]

Alright that Kamino map looks great, reminds me of the old Pandemic games.

 

[Symphonia]

Hard to show more from 5-6 hour campaign and not to reaveal too much?

Or maybe they don’t want to spoil it. Remember, the campaign story is going to be canon. I’d imagine they want to keep most of it a surprise.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

This.

It will be referenced in the books and comics ad nauseam, that you can be sure of. It won't contradict anything in the movies but probably won't come up.

The Lucasfilm Story Group makes sure everything is interconnected. We already have a novel about Iden.

The fact that they outsourced it and hired a serious writer gives me a little hope.

My 3570k does not even meet minimum requirements

I'm glad they're keeping quiet about the story tbh. The book was great and the story is canon, I'd rather be surprised tbh: I think it's going to be great

 

[Surfinn]

My boy John!! Great job

I hope the gameplay is a LOT deeper than BF1, but from the looks of it, it's still pretty arcadey. The content looks great but I'm still on the fence, as the simplistic nature of BF1 lost my interest pretty quickly after I bought it.

 

[Spine_Ripper]

Can someone tell me why Amazon isn't selling physical copies of this

You know why

Where can i find this book?

 

[Pastry]

I was pretty disappointed in the first but this seems like a shift in a direction I am pretty happy with. I think if I don’t get it at release I’ll ag least hop on by the holidays.

Jackfrags has done a pretty good 'first impressions' video - seems to be a lot more interesting this time round.

Really? That's encouraging. I enjoyed that game, the story was pretty dark but well written.

Awww so Obi wan won't make launch. Still mad that he isn't the PT hero vs Maul.

 

[Pizza]

Most book stores! The novel is a prequel origin story for inferno squad that takes place four years before BF2. It was a really good character piece that painted the squad in a grey morality. The author worked with the people doing the campaign to make sure it lined up nicely, and apparently BF2 will have passing references

Thanks for this. Will watch later.

 

[AndyVirus]

Buy this game please, look at all the content compared to the one you bought last time

Wouldn't be the first time Star Wars has shit on the old to emphasize the new

 

[family_guy]

Can you play split-screen through all the modes this time, offline and online?

 

[Ristifer]

This is not the game to expect it in, it will be in the big Star Wars games that are being made by other devs, this is a multiplayer first game

Well, I wouldn't mind a competent campaign if they're going to include one. I know it's MP first, but that bit them in the arse the first time. Wouldn't mind something competent to at least somewhat satisfy that side of things.

[rashbeep]

looks like what BF1 should have been

Is this compared to vanilla Battlefront or including the season pass??
