Support NeoGAF

[Darryl M R]

I think it's one of the bigger game modes called Galactic Assault. Dude keeps camping the spawn screen until he can get a hero with his points.

Thanks for clearing this up to me. This sounds like a fun game mode but hopefully there's a way to prevent people just camping the spawn screen.

 

[RdN]

Damn, this is going to be insane on Scorpio!

 

[IcyRhythms]

This animations do look pretty stiff. Can't lie. Not sure if it's the engine or a lack of talent. Both? Visuals and sound still just every bit as good as the first game.

 

[CloudyTuba]

Ha. So it sounds like the prequel characters have approximations of their movie voices in the menus but then in-game everyone sounds right out of The Clone Wars. At least, that's what I hear from Maul and the droids. I like that.

 

[Izayoi]

Is it still pre-baked GI?

Looks great, regardless.

 

[WilsonX100]

Man im so excited for this

 

[Airan]

Lightsaber doesn't sear environment in idle stance. 3/10

 

[Carlius]

Umm calm down? People are excited and it clearly (if you have eyes) looks stunning and better than BF1.

u can in a blurry video like this? its what hes saying. i dont think clearly looks better is the right thing to say here

 

[Vigilant Walrus]

It makes me wish for a new Jedi Knight.


Online, player character customization, 32 vs 32 mass Jedi vs Sith battles, mod support for custom maps, dedicated servers. FFA, Duel ( 1 vs 1, 2 vs 2, 3 vs 3 )

 

[EL CUCO]

Dang I had Battlefront 1 on PS4, but now that I got a PC, IDK what platform to grab this one on...

How was Battlefront 1 on PC?

No kidding

As nice as it looks I wish the saber combat had some depth to it as oppose to what I'm seeing

Also good to know I wasn't the only one here thinking the guy playing it is terrible

 

[Tagg9]

Everything looks good except for the shit animations. They need to hire some Naughty Dog devs.

 

[CueMan]

Only thing I wanted more was to feel some gun feedback, which is non-existent in the first game.

MovieBattles mod brought saber combat to a new level. Always disappointed with these arcade run in and flail systems now. Even going the For Honor route would be incredible in comparison.

 

[ComputerBlue]

I think cross-era heroes is just for the EA Play showcase. Rey is one of the heroes featured on the cover and probably one of the few that's ready to show off, so they put her here. Boba and Han are from the first game but tweaked so returning players can see the changes to blaster heroes.

I hope you're right, not liking the idea of cross-era hero gameplay.

 

[bud23]

another visually impressive but fucking boring star wars game

will be worth it if you want to impress your nerd friends, cause Princess Leia has never looked so good, but who cares about that? I don´t

pass

 

[Caboose]

Lightsaber battles look terrible again.

 

[Croatoan]

Yes especially Rey, her running animation was terribad. Honestly, thats the first thing I noticed while watching otherwise the game looks the same as the first. I honestly wasn't impressed. I'm probably going to cancel my preorder.

Daisy Ridley runs like a robot in real life. Just watch her run in TFA. Personally, I feel like Dice captured her hilariously stiff gate perfectly.

 

[PintSizedSlasher]

lol at all the people already judging the game based on a shitty video featuring pre-alpha gameplay of a guy who doesn't know how to play.

You have no idea what i would give for a new Jedi Knight game man...

 

[Gamezone]

Looks like Respwan is making one.

 

[RedAssedApe]

Game is beautiful but gameplay shown here did nothing for me...

Still have tempered expectations b/c of the first game.

 

[Joffy]

Dang I had Battlefront 1 on PS4, but now that I got a PC, IDK what platform to grab this one on...

How was Battlefront 1 on PC?

It ran great, only problem was it could be tricky finding a match in the dlc maps sometimes. Won't be an issue here though with free maps.

 

[kokokko416]

gameplay in this video looks insane

just 3 hours left for the official livestream

 

[Xyber]

BF1 was great on PC already on day 1. Best launch they've had so far. Performance was top notch and crashes were not a thing like with BF4.

Edite: Read that as Battlefield 1.

Hardly any playing on PC, PS4 got the main playerbase, second is Xbox

 

[Plasma]

MovieBattles mod brought saber combat to a new level. Always disappointed with these arcade run in and flail systems now. Even going the For Honor route would be incredible in comparison.

I'm not sure the MB2 saber combat would work on the console version which is there primary focus, it always felt strange to me playing JA on the Xbox with a controller.

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

lol at all the people already judging the game based on a shitty video featuring pre-alpha gameplay of a guy who doesn't know how to play.

And it doesn't even have any gameplay of infantry, which is the main draw of the series.

Pick your battles, people.

 

[Blam]

Wow it looks pretty fucking amazing.

 

[-griffy-]

Either they actually got Daisy Ridley to do VO, or they got much better soundalikes than they did for the first game.

 

[MiguelItUp]

"Gameplay looks great!" - "Gameplay looks boring."
"Saber combat looks incredible!" - "Saber combat looks awful."
"Game looks stunning!" - "Graphics don't look that impressive."

Oh GAF, never change. Personally, I think it looks incredible and is a solid step up from the previous game. I enjoyed the last game for what it was. But you can certainly tell they've made improvements here. Can't wait for more information and details.

I still want a new Jedi Knight SO incredibly bad.

 

[Leatherface]

damn those graphics are off the charts.

 

[IchigoSharingan]

Not gonna lie. I was hooked within the first 10 seconds

 

[Sn4ke_911]

Looks like Respwan is making one.

WAT?

 

[TheWorthyEdge]

So is this the gameplay that will be shown at the conference?

 

[Stiler]

So did they change the way hero characters work now? If so then YAY cause that "powerup" crap was annoying along with the way it was a limited time that counted down and you had to attack in order to keep it from going down, which forced you to playing stupidly most of the time.

Yep, vehicles and heroes are now accessible through a resource point feature. You "buy" them instead of searching for them

 

[SargerusBR]

WAT?

Yeah, rumor is Respawn is making a SW game featuring lightsaber combat.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

Yeah, rumor is Respawn is making a SW game featuring lightsaber combat.

Oh you mean Stig Asmussen's game? yeah well we don't know if it will be a Jedi Knight game, right? but man they said it will be heavily focused on lightsaber combat so im VERY excited to see this game.

 

[yanipheonu]

Geezus, the reflection off the marble halls, and the lighting. This is gorgeous.

 

[Gunslinger]

I can't decide whether to buy this for scorpio or pro. PC is a no go since online will probably be dead in a week but more players on pro or better graphics on Xbox Scorpio.

 

[chrisPjelly]

Looks pretty gooooood. I'm just worried that this is Pro/Scorpio/PC gameplay and that the regular PS4/XB1 will take a big hit.

 

[Lunafreya Nox Fleuret]

Looks great! Was this mode an all era thing? Lightsaber combat looks amazing and the whole gameplay actually looks like the originals. I'm very happy about this.

 

[Gnome Scat]

So what's going on with pick ups and the class system? I was hoping to see some infantry gameplay to see what changes they've made since Battlefront 1 had really mediocre mechanics.

 

[RyanW]

It doesn't look like it here too much but I'm really hoping maps aren't as linear as they were for the first game. I need some Battlefield-style open maps so we can get some Conquest going on

 

[Lovely Salsa]

Is there a video of this that I can watch on android?

 

[snowsabre93]

TFA and original trilogy characters in a prequel map? That bugs me slightly.

 

[Ramirez]

Hero combat looks like janky ass shit, just like the first one. Meh.

 

[DoctorFling]

TFA and original trilogy characters in a prequel map? That bugs me slightly.

I see this as the Hyrule Warriors of Star Wars so I'm delighted

 

[Kibbles]

Too much third person no bueno
