They are smart to go with the free DLC angle. Everyone I know wouldn't of even looked at this after getting burned with Battlefront 1.

 

[Brerlappin]

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

 

[D1renegade]

Looks pretty good. I'm worried about the prevalence of heroes on the battlefield but most of everything else looks promising.

 

[Oneself]

Goddamn that looks great.

Came here to post something along those lines.

 

[Memory]

Loved the first one so this is day one for me.

 

[JPS Kai]

I'm still kicking myself for not being there to play in the reveal. Flight got delayed a few hours, so I won't be in LA until nearly the end of today's event.

 

[Soltype]

Pretty much how I felt,graphics look good though.

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

Not aesthetically, Episode 1 had incredible art.

 

[Anung]

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

Totally. I just can't hyped about shitty droids.

Plus I was hoping for some of the SP. The Thing I'm curious about.

The smart people who understand the prequels offer the best gameplay possibilities

 

[deletethis123]

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

Well considering demographics, a huge amount of gamers grew up with the prequels. And this was a major complaint of the first game.

 

[Angel_DvA]

that looks exactly how I want a Star Wars game/movie/animated to looks, gorgeous.

The problem of Battlefront games are gameplay, boring, slow and casual as shit, hope it's better for this one.

Theed is a pretty nice place, so whatever.

 

[Fj0823]

I need a gif of that "Troopers through the ages" shot.

I always dreamed of that exact shot in a SWBF game

[SomeRandomWeirdGuy]

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

Yeah let's make all the footage be of the era that was in the last game or the era that is a thinly veiled ripoff of that one.

Nevermind the fact that the prequel era is filled with cool ass designs and settings for a game.

But no, more Hoth pls. More AT-ATs and stormtroopers. Forever

 

[Plumpbiscuit]

Microtransactions in a $60 game with single player, yep, this is an EA game. In fact, this is most AAA games. Shame, will be skipping this.

 

[Raide]

I seriously love how the droids move.

 

[The Stealth Fox]

Are they gonna do a server browser or still just matchmaking?

 

[george_us]

This makes me want Republic Commando 2 so badly

 

[Smokey]

Frostbite continues to be a beast.

 

[Fj0823]

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

Smart people?

The lack of Clone Wars was the biggest complaint the first game received

[Dr.Acula]

Hopefully the story mode means more people buy this game and it creates a healthier online community for it.

 

[Noobcraft]

Basically erotic how pretty those graphics are. Holy wow.

erotic

edit: "graphics representative of playstation experience"? Hrmmm. No FB games on consoles have used the all-surface SSR before, and this footage was chalk full of it. Not sure if I believe that statement.

I think "representative" is being used loosely here. Perhaps PS4 Pro, but I doubt the image quality or effects like SSR will be present on the PS4 base model at 60 fps (like BF One).

 

[MiguelItUp]

Looks great! I'm really hyped about this. I also love the whole "Free DLC" approach. I can't help but feel that it'll mean there WILL be free content. But there will also be a paid expansion or something at some point.

 

[Gravidee]

I noticed that the gatling guns for the heavy class clones use red lasers. I hope they change it to blue later.

 

[Gamezone]

So there goes any hope of seeing any of their other Star Wars games during E3?

 

[Sayers]

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

People who have seen The Clone Wars TV show.

 

[Archpath1]

dammit now I want a Star Wars: Republic Commando sequel again with these graphics. : (

 

[BattleMonkey]

Trailers always look good but the original Battlefront was meh, just another multiplayer game. What's important over multiplayer is the story mode campaign.

Kinda complete opposite of what a Battlefront game is about

 

[sant]

I will pay for clone trooper and hero skins. Idgaf

 

[Gravidee]

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

With these kinds of posts, it's easy to tell who watched TCW and who didn't.

 

[WadiumArcadium]

So for returning planets it looks like we have:
- Tatooine
- Endor
- Hoth
- Scarif

And new planets/locations:
- Naboo
- Starkiller Base
- Kashyyyk
- Yavin 4
- Takodana (Kylo and Rey are dueling in Maz's palace)
- Kamino
- Tantive IV (It's in the intro with Vader)

Great selection for the vanilla game.

What exactly left do they need to show of the OT?

 

[FalsettoVibe]

Looks great.

yeah, gameplay was never going to natch the dice "game engine" footage. certainly looks good for a 60 fps game tho

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

[maximum360]

As some have already said, the game looks pretty but I just get this "meh" feeling while watching the videos

 

[Dictator93]

Yeah, probably not on pro either. But still, I should take back what I said a bit to reflect "60 fps titles" with the latest FB. Mass Effect Andronmeda at 30 fps had SSr... so did BF: Hardline iirc (lol).

 

[Celcius]

It's been a while since I've been amazed by graphics like that.

 

[FriskyrumX]

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

Because that surely affected the gameplay of the original Battlefront 2 right?

 

[dr_rus]

- Yay SWBF2 have a campaign now! We have a story! You always wanted to play a SW story! We heard you! Here's a bunch of boring multiplayer footage!

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

I need to wait for the beta to get a good feel of this game.

 

[WadiumArcadium]

I need a gif of that "Troopers through the ages" shot.

I always dreamed of that exact shot in a SWBF game

I wanted it too.
