So DICE is making a new Battlefront, as I'm sure most of you have heard. One second while I give a shout-out to OS who, back in the day, physically mailed me cracked CDs of Battlefront 1 (I believe it was 1), which made my year. I still have those CDs somewhere, even though when I play Battlefront now it's off of the Steam copy I got a while back.


I'm a bit Battlefield fan, and while I have my gripes with Battlefield 3 and 4, I think they're amazing games to play. The new levels of deformable terrain in Battlefield makes me very giddy for Battlefront. Blowing holes through buildings, walls, even the ground? Yes please! Commander mode? Ooooh yes. On my pessimistic side, even the bigger maps of Battlefield 4 are too small for the jets in the game. Star Wars demands much larger areas for air fight, especially for space battles. The controls and dogfight interaction is there though, pew pew pew.


Not much real news to report for Battlefront, other than it's a total franchise reboot, and that it'll be "DICE's interpretation of what Battlefront should be". I'm pretty much OK with that, even if it will come with the launch-day bugs DICE is famous for (and even more famous for fixing fairly quickly).


I'd link this but the BBCode seems to dislike Wikipedia's use of parens in the URL. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Wars:_Battlefront_(2015_video_game)

The supposedly "leaked" footage looks pretty good so far; I might well end up getting it...assuming that I can actually get through all of skyrim's expansions....

Gameplay footage: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jInXMruUFw8

Skyrim is too big to ever get through, might as well just live in it.

The gameplay footage looks really dated, kinda smells like someone posting other footage as Battlefront for views. Compare this gameplay of BF4, which is using the engine that Battlefront will use.

I believe the footage Corise linked is from a cancelled Battlefront 3 project circa 2008 by Free Radical Design that was basically finished but Lucas Arts didn't commit to marketing it or whatever and took the license from Free Radical.

My mistake.  Zark is entirely right.  I guess that's what happens when I begin to start clicking on too many random YouTube links without looking at the description first.
