Star Wars: Battlefront's First PS4 Gameplay Will Swoop in This Month

If they changed it into a FPS, I won't even bother.

Who is Hans Solo, his german brother?

@eaglebob345
Change?

People complain about Nintendo regurgitating games because Mario is on the cover of every second box. How incredibly wrong they are. Same IP does not equal same experience and when people say these comments about Nintendo they clearly demonstrate their lack of gaming knowledge. You don't have to like the games but you need to be real about it.
On the other hand, these Triple A developers are pumping out the same old experience over and over under the guise of a different hero/theme/name and people lap it up.

I for one will not be happy with Star Wars Battlefield. Why? Because I can already get that experience on two current games.
Im not hating on anyone just trying to highlight a perspective.

Yes, bit of a rant, but I loved the previous Battlefront games and of all the bollocks thats happening in the gaming industry at the moment, a Star Wars Battlefield would highlight my biggest issue.

Still, holding hope though....

I still change shake the feeling it'll be Battlefield Star Wars edition.

Battlefront was first made off of Battlefield 1942 to begin with. It had 1st and 3rd person view modes in the games that you could switch between so it was technically already an FPS.

Did anyone ever actually play them?

@BertoFlyingFox
Yea, FPS/TPS isn't an issue I have. To say Battlefront was a copy&paste of 1942 would be a bit of a stretch. I didn't know it was made off 1942, do you have sources for this?

Besides, DICE developed 1942 but not Battlefront. This time they are developing both - much larger risk of straight copy&paste.

@BertoFlyingFox I have thought the same a lot of comments on pieces about Battlefront dont make any sense, I played in third person as you could see more of what was going on due to the nature of the game and the fp view was a bit lame. Great game at the time.

@elarkos I never said it was a copy&paste of 1942. I was vague there, whoops. I'm meaning it was made off of the same basis, it's easy to see the similarities if you've ever played both. You have the same sort of goals and you're allowed to get across the map in different ways. They even went as far as adding the "battle" moniker to the subtitle. Battle field , Star Wars: Battle front.

@themcnoisy Yeah I dont dig the 1st person view either, but it was cool seeing my friends wreck a play session online in that view.

I hope EA don't mess it up :-/

@BertoFlyingFox As long as it has third person options then I'll give it a chance but if its just Battlefield with a Star Wars skin I'll wait till its a tenner.

@BertoFlyingFox Yea, na I didn't mean you explicitly stated it was copy and paste that's why I used the hypothetical "would". I mentioned that in case that's where the convo was heading.

Oh right, so you just meant that Battlefront found inspiration in Battlefield. Not that it was actually built off the game. That's cool, 1942 is an amazing game and yea of course there are similarities between the two. I just hope that "similarities" is as far as the new Battlefront and Battlefield 4 go.

EDIT: "Inspiration" might be a bit light, but we know what each other means.

@Jazzer94 For me personally, simply having a third person perspective wont be enough. COD (I don't play them so i can't remember which one) had a third person view but it was still just COD.

@elarkos "I just hope that "similarities" is as far as the new Battlefront and Battlefield 4 go."

Very true, I would hate for the guns to feel exactly the same in weight or for the flying vehicles to drive just as confusingly.

Hoping EA doesn't fudge this up.

And I don't want to see micro transactions in a galaxy far far away, I hate seeing it our own galaxy.

Change & Similarities? I'm still confused, what footage have you all been looking at?

@Punished_Boss_84 its not the footage. Dice is making battlefront, and the fans are worried its a reskin of battlefield. Its all speculation.

@eLarkos I agree with you which is why if it is just basically a Star Wars skin I'll pick it up dirt cheat, Dice need to make sure to keep in mind why people loved the original games in the first place.

Am I the only one who is craving Star Wars clones (lol...) of every good game? I want Star Wars: Battlefield, Valkyria Chronicles, the Sims, Mass Effect (one where you're not 1000 years in the past), Peace Walker, etc... They used to do that all day long. Why is it so bad now? Must be a bunch of naive noobz who know not of what they speak. I wish I could play The Gungan Frontier...

@charlesnarles Why is it so bad now? Maybe because there are two very good previous iterations in the series that arn't skins.
The only noobz here is the person who thinks that the amount of repetitive iterations of games hasn't increased in the last couple of gens. This is simply people showing their displeasure in the current attack of the clones.

i love battlefield, star wars and fps, cant wait for this one!

@Flurpsel LOL!
