As always the PC gamers love trying to derail a good hype train

 

[JumPeRJumPzZ]

if they did do you think they're happy about ea access allowing xb1 users to play it earlier? if they do have the marketing rights, maybe they'll have a matching "beta" thing.

I hope not.

 

[Alcoholikaust]

I don't like these things, but I really want this to be good and to be a part of this...

ah my old melty bunny gif.

I have since moved on..

 

[Sn4ke_911]

Imagine you play as this guy with the incredible sound design of DICE.

X-Wing, TIE-Fighter flying over your head, *pew* *pew* everywhere ...

 

[Ivan]

Wow, this is really something.

We have to wait, but if it's anything like that screenshot....wow.

 

[ArkkAngel007]

I'm going to enjoy watching the anger once the game gets its graphical downgrade. It's like you guys didn't learn anything from Watch_Dogs.

This is an EA/DICE game, not Ubisoft. Don't see why Watch_Dogs is being brought up, nor how a downgrade and people's disappointment is a point of pleasure to someone.

Also, there hasn't been anything near misleading like with Watch_Dogs. The screenshot looks perfectly acceptable for at least PC, and it's obvious the teaser footage is in-engine asset work rather than actual gameplay. As far as the original footage from E3(?) is concerned, that has always been clearly labeled as in-engine, not in-game.

But hey, whatever makes you happy I guess.

 

[Fiery Phoenix]

This dude just doesn't give a fuck.

"Yeah, it looks that great on ALL the consoles"
"Fantastic, what framerate?"
"

I lol'd

EA access is a thing for every EA game. It doesn't matter. Battlefield Hardline which was also Sony-marketed got it too.

 

[Yoday]

Oh wow, I'll be very surprised if Sony managed to snag the marketing for this one

Why? They have a good relationship with Disney. Also, if you were EA would you want to partner with the company that will be aggressively promoting your two biggest competitors? I will be shocked if MS has the partnership on this one.

 

[ChawlieTheFair]

Ain't that the guy from the Old Republic?

 

[robb_w7]

Imagine you play as this guy with the incredible sound design of DICE.

i hope that pic is to scale

The AT-AT is actually that big

 

[Dragonborn]

if they did do you think they're happy about ea access allowing xb1 users to play it earlier? if they do have the marketing rights, maybe they'll have a matching "beta" thing.

I'd imagine maybe they'll use EA access on PS4 for some kind of leverege. Even then, a game the is huge and from EA, it'd be pretty surprising to see MS let it slip from them.

Like someone else said, star wars branded PS4 bundles for the Holidays would be absolutely massive

 

[IAmRandom31]

Have they said if this will have a single player campaign?

 

[InsaneTiger]

No it isn't. This is the reinvention of Battlefront with the devs who invented class based combat, nothing can kill that.

HAHAHAHAHA! Sure, whatever makes you feel better. They did create BF4 after all.

 

[Turkoop]

Ain't that the guy from the Old Republic?

I dunno, Peter Moore just tweeted his pic

 

[matrixman92]

Ain't that the guy from the Old Republic?

yeah, they are still marketing stuff from old republic, even though its not officially part of the canon

 

[Mpl90]

Yeah, unless a catastropher happens, this is going to be huuuuuuuuuuuge this Holiday. It releases right before the Black Friday period too!

 

[ArkkAngel007]

if they did do you think they're happy about ea access allowing xb1 users to play it earlier? if they do have the marketing rights, maybe they'll have a matching "beta" thing.

Don't see how they have the right to be unhappy about it, given they could have had the same deal if they offered EA Access on their platform. EA Access is an EA service, not Microsoft.

 

[ElzarTheBam]

EA access is a thing for every EA game. It doesn't matter. Battlefield Hardline which was also Sony-marketed got it too.

I saw an xbox advert today on TV

It was marketing hardline and Halo 5 etc as blockbuster games on the bone.

I was sure that Sony had the marketing as well.

 

[CarbonFire]

I'd hope that max settings DoF would be better.

There's dithering there, but do you really think it will be that noticeable in motion? Gotta save performance somewhere.

 

[Kaversmed]

Have they said if this will have a single player campaign?

I dunno but why wouldn't it have it?

 

[Terbinator]

The one on the right is clearly the new design.

New in what sense? We know the Stromtroopers have a new design anyway for the new films. The only other major difference from that screen is the shoulder patch colouring, assuming it isn't down to lighting, but then in Episode IV the Stromtroopers have the grey and shoulder plate.

I'd hope that max settings DoF would be better.

Yep. Add onto that the awful dithering on the foliage/light-shafts and the likelihood DICE haven't fized their Z-buffer fighting there doesn't appear to be much of an upgrade over 'Ultra' BF4.

 

[IAmRandom31]

I dunno but why wouldn't it have it?

Can't recall if the other Battlefronts did or not.

only everyone since yesterday...

good to know. i have ea access i just havent used my xb1 for much, i have a pretty good comp if i wanted to play that one. still seems a little weird, gogogo Battlefront for ps4! first dlc! etc. small print: play it first on xb1

 

[Loakum]

They better release a Collector's Edition with a worthy statue or a model of one of those X-Fighters.

 

[Richard the Lionheart]

Imagine you play as this guy with the incredible sound design of DICE.

X-Wing, TIE-Figher flying over your heard, *pew* *pew* and so on...

When I read this first part, I thought: "it really sounds like I'm screwed." When I read the second part, I thought: "lasers, pew pew."

Everyone takes the sound design in Battlefield for granted. It's a huge aspect of the game, and no shooter has surpassed Dice since Bad Company.

[qa_engineer]

We do this every time a sexy new screenshot is released for an upcoming title. Everyone needs to not blow their load so quickly because you'll just be disappointed when the game doesn't look as good as a pre-release screenshot. This is especially true for the console only gamers out there.

 

[CaptNink]

Oh my god - this day is too much!!!

 

[IMACOMPUTA]

As always the realists love trying to derail a bullshit hype machine

I completely agree, DICE games have probably the best sound design in the whole industry.

 

[ArkkAngel007]

I was sure that Sony had the marketing as well.

I think it was allowed for the sizzle reel trailer since Hardline has already been released. It's all about that front-load.

 

[Boke1879]

Got it!

Ready to destroy haters! Who wants a seat?

May I get a spot?

Also tomorrow they need to reveal it all. Show gameplay and show me the CE so I can preorder that right away.

 

[Steel]

I really could care less how it looks graphically. Like, it really makes no difference to me at this point, if it had PS2.5 graphics and played an improved Battlefront 2 with better, not worse, multiplayer options I'd be happy. This hype train can so easily derail depending on how it plays, and whether the servers implode.

I really hope you guys don't hype yourself too much.

Spoiler

I say this and I've cautiously boarded the hype train myself. But damn if I'm not expecting it to crash and burn.

Edit:

Got it!

Ready to destroy haters! Who wants a seat?

Put me on the planet ready to get blasted....

 

[Nokterian]

Killing Floor 2 wants to have a word with you..

 

[MikeDown]

So it's safe to say the game will stay in the original trilogy?

 

[Calcium]

It is coming out on my birthday? Wow, thanks. The game looks amazing, I can't wait to play it.

 

[Durante]

just cause your dark souls dof looked great dont mean you gotta hate

Oh, it's already much better than what I did.

But I know that DICE can do even better. UE4 does quite a bit better on highest settings.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

Killing Floor 2 wants to have a word with you..

lol please those weapons sound weak as fuck.

 

[lolosgolos]

That teaser Lol. best to watch the hype train from a distance

 

[Yeul]

The shot alone looks really really good I completely forgot that it's set to come out this year (unless something happens). Today's a good day, lots of new exciting things.

 

[ChawlieTheFair]

So it's safe to say the game will stay in the original trilogy?

I imagine it's gonna span all the movies including epi 7.

 

[jetjevons]

I really could care less how it looks graphically.

Tell me how.

Seriously though, I have my ticket to the hype train! Choo Choo!

 

[Nokterian]

lol please those weapons sound weak as fuck.

You haven't played it did you?

 

[Summer Haze]

If there ever was a game where making it a pretty as it can be triumphs over 60fps it's this one.

This is EA's opportunity at some real mass appeal, and the graphics will do a lot to sell it.

Nah, I disagree. I wouldn't even mind if the SP was 30fps, I just think MP portions of FPSs should be 60fps. Smoother on-screen motion and more responsive controls would mean more to me than visuals when playing again other people.
