Battlefront 1 was mostly locked 60fps on consoles even with 64 players and all chaos going on all at once with such high visuals superb tech achievement especially with those CPU. I wonder how Battlefront 2 will fare at holding 60fps since visuals seems to have improved even more and more stuff going on at once etc which can be more taxing on hardware

Of course with more expensive stronger consoles it should handle more that's to be expected but that wasn't my question I was thinking how would mostly standard PS4/Xbox One handle it or is the enhancements on Pro and XOX only maybe but still DICE engine is impressive wizardry how they achieved so much out of all these consoles
Battlefront 1 was 40 players.

Even then still like 4x more player count than most other FPS games at 60fps on consoles
Yeah, that's true, I do like high player counts in multiplayer games as well.
As a huge sucker for weather effects... holy shit.

Using her comic outfit instead of one of the movie ones is a neat choice. Wonder if they'll have contextual alternate costumes like the old games, or cosmetic DLC choices for stuff like Hoth Leia and Pilot Luke.

This looks so good but I'm a little skeptical on the Star Card system and there being different levels of power with it.
Save me GAF - make me not worried about that

It was either that or paid DLC that segments the community.

From a visual and audio perspective this game is crazy. This is the definitive immersive Star Wars experience, by far.
I just hope the gameplay lives up to the promise. I played the BF2015 beta and it convinced me the game wasn't worth buying. Will definitely play the BF2 beta to see how it's improved.

This is where I'm at.
I hope the gameplay is more interesting and deep this time around.
Yep, I'm in the same camp. This game looks fucking insane visually but the actual gameplay from the first game left a lot to be desired.
i said dayum... looks fantastic. but battlefield was never my thing and i never played battlefront (2016 or otherwise) so i'm a little iffy. i guess worst case scenario the campaign can be a glorified tech demo for my 1080 ti, so i'll probably jump on it given holidays don't leave me too strapped
Oh finally - an outfit that wont give her a heat stroke outside of Hoth and Endor.Princess Leia
EA Battlefront is nothing like Battlefield/the original games, so you might still like it.

It is very much like the original games.

One of the leaks on Reddit mentioned that Obi-Wan would be coming in at the same time as Grievous during one of the free seasons.
I expect Anakin and Padme (+/- any of the other Prequel Jedi Council... Mace?!) to drop during a Geonosis-themed season update.
As a PS4 player (OG 😱
I don't understand why this is even a question, of course that you should choose the XBX version, it will be superior, seems like no brainer.I needed this. I was on the fence for a while after reading about the loot implementations but it doesn't seem atrocious, yet it will affect gameplay which is what I worried. But still, the game still looks incredible, and free DLC makes it easier to take. I wish we still had Turning Point but maybe modes like that are included within Strike / Galactic Assault (or whatever it is called). Pretty confident I'll be getting it day one again.

More like Anakin and Dooku for a geonosis update. They need to keep the HvV an even amounf.

Still want to hear more details for Arcade mode. If I can play the large scale multiplayer maps with 20vs20 AI counts, this game will hit all the notes for me. I'm still gonna get it because I'm fine with multiplayer shooters, but sometimes you just want to max all the graphics options (nuking your framerate, but it's so freaking amazing looking in a game like this), sit down with a controller, and enjoy Star Wars without worrying about competing with other players. That's what the first game lacked, for me. It would be excellent if Arcade gave us at least the Galactic Assault maps.
What you may want is a dedicated SP AAA Star Wars experience with current-gen bells and whistles.
That graphic wasn't for "maps". It was for planets in the game that you visit.
The ones listed in SP are just planets you only go to during the single player campaign. Those planets don't feature MP maps of any kind (at least at this point).
Or that's what I took from it.
Not having PT Anakin soon would be a horrible mistake. Thanks to TCW, people actually like him! I hope PT gets a lot more content later on.

Well, sure. Hopefully Visceral's project hits all those notes. But Battlefront has the luxury of being more sandbox in nature. If I want to fly Starships for half a game and play as infantry the other half, that's possible. It's a different sort of single-player, you know? Like the old school instant action modes of the first two games. Endless replayability. I still pop into those games every now and then to play against bots. I would love it if this game had robust options like that as well.

What ritual do i perform to get an arpg in this engine.
Literally all the assets are there, characters, locations, vehicles, weapons powers etc. There just need to add a hub or two and a decent story

Really good trailer that sells me on the promise of the game by highlighting all the important features. Still unsure if there's character changes to the character customization though.
However those upgrade cards really concern me. How is it a good thing that there are rare better versions of the same card that grants gameplay effects in a competitive multiplayer game? I know it can all be earned by playing and with game time but that's NOT a cool aspect to have.

I bought the first game for kicks on that recent sale, and to be frank it's kind of a alpha like game. It does have some core tenets that seem like they are solid enough. But damn that gunplay was utter dog. Animations sucked. Graphics were meh.
Space combat looked cool though. Was way too nooby for my tastes. Reminded me of something worse than Starhawk for fuck's sake in controls.
IDK, I preordered this bitch because it looks a million times better. I hope I am right.

That's one thing you rarely hear attributed to SW:BF...
I noticed that as well, but IDK maybe I was playing on the wrong levels, or the original PS4 just kind of sucks to be honest because I was not impressed in the slightest bit for 75% of my time with it.
The flying mission to start the game in the canyon was terrible. LOD pop up everywhere, jaggies, et cetera.
Don't get me wrong a few of the levels looked pretty good, and I didn't get to play all of them, but the new game looks WAY MORE POLISHED. And we are getting a Pro mode so my complaints about graphics I think are basically going to be handled.
I kept hearing how this game looked so good, but I really don't understand all those screams anymore. It really was just an okay looking game with a couple standout maps.
This looks like a crazy improvement from the first game and I enjoyed that one a lot haha. All DLC being free makes it even better.
Dropping to half price in a week? Yeah, not happening.
