Oh rad, actual gameplay. Looks fun enough, though that beep sound whenever you kill anyone is obnoxious. Did they do that in the last Battlefront?

Curious about in what context Rey was fighting Battle Droids, but I'm into it.

The first game looked noticeably better on PC than the PS4, pretty close to their "game engine" stuff

it was mostly the same as the ps4 version. there was some ssr in certain areas, but other than that, just higher res and fps. this is probably already pc footage anyway

OH MY GOSH!! The Prequel landscape looks bloody LUSH! Love the Naboo battlefield, Darth Tearing shit up with remixed Duel of Fates just sent shivers down my spine. I skipped BF so will certainly pick this up.

Fantastic trailer. It looks a lot like the original one gameplay wise, but at least it takes place on a far more interesting era

Not bad at all but as I said in the EA thread, physics and destruction are missing.

Trees didn't get blown away, hell they didn't even move at all. Pillars and other things were being shot at by weapons and aircrafts and there didn't seem to be a shred of destruction.

Hope this changes because I could swear we can destroy all kinds of stuff in Battlefield 1 and trees and stuff aren't static there.

EA and DiCE's idea of Battlefront since their first one is for it to be as different as possible from Battlefield, for better and worse. Only thing the 2015 version had in common with Battlefield was the font.

90% footage comprised of the worst SW era? Who thought that was a good idea?

OH pleaase!!! you want more sand dunes, more ice caves, more asteriods YAAWN, prequel era had some wonderful worlds, interesting species and tech, an era full of creative places, enemies and sound (Droidica rolling, trade federation vehicles, sebulbas pod engine, seismic charges)

If they get Kamino in, it could very well be one of the best SW locations in the entire SAGA, especially for a game like this.

Are the droidekas playable?

Also seriously yoda makes more sense in this map than rey or even han solo.

Boba Fett? Why not spend more time and make Jango Fett.

I thought EA was proud of their ability to make an accurate star wars game.

Anyword on Geonosis being in this game?

Yeah. The OT worlds had to be really generic since they had to use actual cheap filming locations since anything really interesting had to be achieved with 70s/80s era special effects (which is why Bespin is the only really interesting world of the OT era). But with the PT, you could actually have actual world design and art implemented in creating the worlds of the Star Wars galaxy.

You could take the textures of Battlefield 1 and make new OT era maps; but for PT era you get to have all new assets and new effects and everything.

kinda ballsy starting it out with naboo... i know there was a demand for prequel stuff but going straight Ep1 for a marquee title is a little risky although they pulled it off

The planets, worlds, battles, vehicles, music, art, and scenarios of the Prequels are not why people disliked them. It was simply because they were bad movies; which is absolutely irrelevant for a videogame.

Looked rather boring, not hyped at all, maybe the story mode will be good? Who knows...

Lasers flying everywhere, stuff blowing up, buildings collapsing, X-Wings dodging asteroids.

I'm curious as to what you were expecting if you think that was boring. Serious question, I'm not even trying to be argumentative.

Also, correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the Empire lady at the end supposed to be black?

Yep. The Prequel Trilogy doesn't get enough credit for absolutely amazing production design, and I've always loved how they did a great job with the clone trooper -> storm trooper transformation as well.

Tells you something about the fanbase when numerous people need to point this out ...

I wasn't expecting much to be different and I'm not sure it is but it looks pretty good, and the free expansions definitely has me interested. Wasn't happy with the way Battlefront I did things.

This looks to basically be what I hoped/expected the first one was going to be (and completely fell short of). I liked the look of the first game, and it was fun running around and shooting blasters and taking in all the star warsy stuff, but it was so completely lacking in depth that it got boring after a couple of sessions.

Is there an HD vid of a entire match spanning the 3 phases? All these vids I see are basically kill highlight reels. Would be nice to watch an actual game instead of some youtuber's e-dick measurement.

That Jackfrags video sold me, it looks like they actually added in some skill gap to the shooting. The removal of tokens on the battle field and that are really all I wanted for the sequel.

Still wish the lightsaber fights didn't look so silly. They show Rey/Kylo having this epic duel in the trailer, and in the game it's just a bunch of button mashing random animation nonsense, lol.
