Yeah to be honest I'm baffled at people recommending BC titles on XBOX when you can usually have a much better version on the PC.

Already own these digitally on XBOX but I can double dip the classic games are awesome
and hold up very well for what they are
I will say I am the odd duck that thinks Battlefront 2015 is the best game in the series by far
that game holds a very special place in my heart I wish they didn't rush it out incomplete because of that damn movie release
Battlefront II (2017) had more content but was a step down in every. single. other. way is it a generic uninspired shooter with a star wars skin....weakest game in the series...IMO

A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one. The fact that they are bringing online back is amazing, I wonder if it’ll have cross play? If so I may just buy it for my switch.
If not, then I hope they actually have platinum trophies on PS5.

Finally! Xlassic BF should have been in Switch since the PS4One games came out. The other platform releases are nice (and ccross plar plus the PC enhancements and some of the expanded modes are good choices, ) but Squtch could have thrived with this back in the day for all this time.
Too bad the PSP games will never get remastered now that this is so late. Renegade Squadron had some decent additions when studio Rebellion took over, and Elite Squadron is as close as we got to BF3 (it was the past- gen version, they changed the name when the main game was canceled but it had the same story and ground-air- space transitions. )

As someone who never played the originals it's a good game, one they ripped out the microtransaction rubbish.

the microtransactions didn't bother me at all. I hated the core gameplay/shooting 2015 was far better

If any of you are crazy enough and willing to play the PS4 version rather the PS5 version you can hunt down one of these adapters to use your old PS2 DualShock 2 on your PS4/5. It's out of print but you can probably find one on ebay.

Still no OG Battlefront 1 or 2 with onlineI’d pay £30 for a straight up port of BF2.

Is the PS4 version lacking that much? Typically when I see these ports they look about the same other than resolution, which my eyes adjust to that in an hour anyway.
Are you sure there is a native PS5 version?

Yeah, in fact the PS4 version isn't up on the store yet.
How do know that just doesn't mean it was added to ps5 store first?

Physical release?
Unless they detail improvements I would guess its the same game just labeled PS5. One of the turtles games is like that I think.

I'm concerned that it'll be matchmaking only if Aspyr's release of Jedi Academy is evidence. It would prevent my old PS2 league buddies from reforming our leagues and clans, but I'd still play the fuck out of it.

Unfortunately, no. The platform-agnostic news writeup (I don't know if a "press release" went out otherwise? this is the modern way though, that boilerplate gets quoted as if it's by journalists instead of by flak) on StarWars.com makes no mention of cross-play.

Battlefront 2015 is superior and isn’t talked about, controls were solid I thought dice did a good job with heroes vs villains.

Just goes to show how well the reboot did.
But of course they wanted to wait a couple years to release this, to not make it so evident.

Eh, the DICE game did pretty well; maybe under expectations, but the first game did 13m in its first Christmas and the second game did 9m, and each is counting up from there. They didn't do what they needed to do to quick-turnaround on a third game (plus DICE was having troubles anyway keeping Battlefield in the fight, so they reprioritized,) but the reboot sold fine and is still out there.
This is being sold by Aspyr (who have licensed a ton of older Star Wars games, and have had access to the Star Wars brand library since way back when they released many of these games in the first place for Mac platforms.) So, it doesn't really have much to do with EA (although EA dropping out of making a third game might have helped BF Classic Collection get approval.)
If Aspyr or whoever had gotten rights to make its own new Battlefield, either in the style of the DICE or Pandemic games or something new, then that would be really interesting as a market response to the Dice SWBFs. But this, it's just something that was there, and something that especially on Switch has a good chance of selling quite nicely.

Yeah, Battlefront 2015 is amazing, and was even more awesome during the Beta and right at launch - before DICE stepped in and "balanced" the game, taking away some of the fun.

I was just thinking, this has splitscreen. If you wanted you could do SharePlay on the PS5 and have online splitscreen for stuff like Galactic Conquest.

How is the resolution and the framerate on switch? I'll be playing this on the bed.
