we also dont need a new star wars movie. but here we are, and i betcha they're not using 1970s/1980s techniques and equipment to film those new movies.
What are the odds it will have local split screen?
If it turns out to be a Battlefield game with a Star Wars skins amma be pissed.
We have some early dev footage. Endor, Hoth, speeeder bikes, Stormtroopers. That's about it.
Wat. Have you never played the Battlefront games? That's what they've always been.
In the middle of 2013, during EA's FY14Q1 earnings call, Frank Gibeau said that the game has a "third-person component to it"Source?

There are better odds of the game coming with a free trip to the moon.
I'm surprised this is news, because that would mean before this EA was considering just releasing it into the wild. It's fucking Star Wars, this is a hot year, EA what are you doing if you have to announce that it's going to get a BF-sized marketing push. No, you give it the best push possible, EA! BIGGER THAN HALO PUSH!
same.
no loadouts, just presets.

But....just a few months ago, while confirming the Holiday 2015 release date, Blake Jorgensen stated that the game would be EA's major first-person shooter for 2015.
Does this mean that the 3rd person mode is out? No one knows for sure. Could go either way.
Sure, I don't want it to be exactly BF4 reskinned. But thinking of the scale of BF4 and instead of jets flying overhead you hear tie fighters, seeing battles with laser guns in the distance, instead of being knifed you get run through with a light saber, instead of an eod bot you see an R2 looking droid arming mcoms.... Would be pretty fucking cool.

And i fear it will be just that.
What do you mean 'feel like a battlefield game'I'm fine with them trying to pitch this to the Battlefield crowd. But if it comes out and feels like a Battlefield product I'll be disappointed.
Sounds amazing to me.
Not worth my money and time. And it doesn't sound like Star Wars battlefront to me.
Aligning the game with the movies release feeds the idea that Visceral was given 1313 and they're saving that for the Boba Fett standalone movie.
One can dream right?
Do you enjoy Battlefield 4?
Do you enjoy Battlefield 4?
Nope i enjoy Battlefront 2 because that is a battlefront game.
2 different games, if we wanted to play BF4 with a star wars skin someone would just mod the g- oh wait
Have you played the game Dice is making? How do you know it wont be what you want it to be?
I sincerely hope DICE has actually learned from their mistakes and the magnitude of their failure with BF4. Although I am excited for the new movie and a new Battlefront game I have no faith in them to deliver a complete, functional and stable game after the BF4 fiasco. I don't expect perfection but the sheer quantity and severity of bugs and glitches in combination with the fact that it took them the better part of a year to fix the game was absolutely unacceptable. The worst part is it's not the first time they've released a broken mess, the BF3 launch was pretty bad too. They need to break this cycle of releasing broken games, pushing out DLC then releasing patches that don't fix things, make them worse or introduce new bugs. It has to stop. Marketing can talk the talk all they want but the real proof will come when they finally release the game. I honestly think DICE have severely damaged both their own credibility and reputation as a studio and the Battlefield brand as a whole when they released BF4 in the state they did. Part of me even feels like they shouldn't even be allowed to work on a franchise that's so highly revered as Star Wars, because of they fuck it up there will be hell to pay, they've already managed to squander and piss away years of fan goodwill with BF4 disaster why trust them with Star Wars ?
Just remember folks, this is coming from the same people who released BF4... Think about that for a second. Don't get hyped and for Christ's sake don't pre-order Battlefront
I don't know, doesn't Sony have the history with the Battlefront franchise?
Would be a huge "get" for MS though.
Hoping the game is polished by E3 and they're just tying loose ends and fixing bugs afterwards.
in essence we mean with all the shoehorned nonsense that BF entails.
ADS, attachments, loadouts ect. Battlefront 1 and 2 are pretty well balanced in my book and adding superfluous things may make things harder to balance
