Will you play Battlefront?

[eezstreet]

EA's newest Star Wars game is set to be released soon. Do you plan on playing it? If so, why not?

[gerbilOFdoom]

Only if it turns out to be something other than a battlefield clone with some star wars lore sprinkled on.

[Jeff]

I'd like too, but my PC can't handle it, and I don't have XBOX or PS4.

[Ping]

Never cared for battlefront. Nothing changed.

[Barricade24]

Yeah, I will. Probably rent it first though.

[afi]

Maybe... but even though the trailer looks amazing I'm not yet convinced

[Kualan]

I think my hype for this game has peaked, and as we get more solid details about it closer to release my enthusiasm is running dry. No server browser?!

[Noodle]

Everything I've read about it makes me think it will not be as fun as the other two games, I don't like EA and their dirty bussiness practices. I don't see many reasons to want to play this game.

Then you should try it first. Funny how some people read rumors about a game that hasn't been released and make up their mind without any second thought. It looks like more fun than the old ones in my opinion. Plus, it's not even completed yet.

I hate EA because of all their preplanned DLC. I bought the fucking game, stop making me pay for the full experience.

I'm skeptical because of the lack of CW content. That's a HUGE moneymaker to be sitting on, and it appears they aren't touching it at all. It's stupid and rather frustrating.

I'm guessing my computer (blaming my video card) won't support Battlefront. I might play in the future if/when I upgrade hardware.

1. They have yet to announce any paid DLC for this game. So far they only announced free DLC.

2. Not all DLC is like that. A lot of times it truly is bonus material and is optional. For the fidelity and time spent on that material, I'm perfectly willing to pay for it if I really want the content. 

 

I agree that the publishers like EA and Activision push the companies too hard and are forced to finish the game with DLC, but it's not always the case. I think EA is kind of turning around now. SWTOR content is apparently going to be all free for subscribers (and yeah subbing sucks but still, they aren't charging for the game itself, which is good), BF first DLC will be free, etc.

[Onysfx]

Computer can't run it till I get my unlimited powah PC. Even then, I'll wait for a bit until there is more feedback on the game.

[Rayce]

I believe DICE when they say they didn't hold anything back for DLC. I agree with @Circa completely, and I think any paid DLC the game has will be worth the money. That said, I'll be buying this game for sure. 

[DrXann]

I'll watch someone play it.

[Merek]

Some of the Staff & Members at The Sci-Fi Network will be sharing their experiences on the Star Wars Battlefront Beta once it comes out in early October. One of them has even offered to Livestream the game. With their permission, I'll probably share those with you guys.

 

Speaking of which, who here plans to sign-up for the beta in October?

I do!

[JU2T1C3 F0R A11]

the closed alpha was fun and all, but I honestly cannot see myself playing this game ten years from now like I have with the first two games

[X1F2]

As soon as I can afford to it is mine. I don't think it will be a ground breaking game but I miss shooting storm troopers so I'm excited.

[DT.]

After playing battlefield 3 & 4, I don't have much hope this game will be free of map bugs (trying to snipe around or between certain objects, but a clear spot blocks the bullet) or have COD quality animation (when seeing NPCs interact with objects. Many times I've seen huge clipping, something COD has hardly any of). Last COD I played was MW3, no idea if it's gone tits up since or not.

[Nozyspy]

I loathe EA... but the new Battlefront looks visually amazing. I just hope it has substance and not just looks. As far as MP FPS games go, these days Planet Side 2 is my poison of choice, we shall see if this can get me hooked like the original Battlefront! Blimey, i actually remember going to the shop just as it opened first thing in the morning to buy that game on release day. At first they said they didn't have any in stock, until we told them to check under the desk, and voila there was a batch there ready to go out on the shelves!

[Rick]

Probably not, no. This is the type of game I'd prefer to play in singleplayer, complete with galactic conquest and skirmish. Take that out, I have no reason to get it.

The game has Singleplayer skirmishes. No GC, though.

COD and quality in the same sentence... I guess their is a first for everything

[Circa]

You probably haven't played COD if you don't think quality. Sometimes it's hard to play some games because I'm used to how polished, smooth, and pleasing to the eye COD is.
