@DarthNocturnal I have no idea why, but I wasn't previously notified for your reply above.
I had a look at a few videos showing some Galactic Conquest gameplay footage on YouTube and it appears that what I imagined that mode to be isn't anything quite like it! I kind of wish I never found out about it now... I hope they can implement something that resembles (the old) Galactic Conquest.
In other news, EA had their annual fiscal report/review today and upon being asked about the future of DLC for both Battlefield 1 and Star Wars Battlefront II, the Vice President of EA had this to say:
I do think you'll start to see that evolve next year as we get into more competitive gaming and it will clearly evolve, around Battlefront II property that we start to evolve the services associated with DLC to make them more live service, event-driven style gameplay versus purely an additional piece of content.
I am none the wiser in regards to what he is trying to say, but I hope his words loosely translates to ~ "we shall release the maps for free however, we will charge for cosmetic junk".
@Dezzy Although Destiny 2 will already be out in September, you can guaranteed that that game shall have a prolonged effect - competition wise - leading up to Christmas along with both Call of Duty: WWII and Star Wars Battlefront 2 thrown into the mix. If Rockstar are to be believed, Red Dead Redemption 2 may well be out around then too, as well as a new and fresh entry in the Assassin's Creed series after a two year hiatus.
You've also got the next long overdue game in the 76.5 million selling series in Gran Turismo Sport, which works out an average of 12,750,000 copies per (mainline) game!
There are lots of big name games coming out later in the year, and I just simply cannot wait.
In regards to this thread in question, here's a new trailer titled 'The Story of an Imperial Soldier':
Imagine if Xenoblade 2 really comes out this year and christmas has Battlefront 2 , Red Dead 2, Mario Odyssey and Xenoblade 2. That would be the best variety a christmas has ever had.
Darth Maul looks ridiculously overpowered though, with the way he ploughed through a dozen enemies in a couple of swipes... The lighting during the gameplay footage made it all look 'real'. It is definitely going to be a looker and a half. I like how the city feels lived in too, rather than being set inside an arena of sorts.
And no season pass either, which is very good news!
@Octanep.s. Is it possible (due to the mighty power you behold) that you could take the now unnecessary 'hopes and dreams' part out of the thread title by any chance, and simply have it as 'Star Wars Battlefront II'?
That looks really pretty. Also like that the voices for the clones and droids are from Clone Wars! Also the fact that there's no season pass will make me more likely to play it longer than the first one.
@DarthNocturnal I'm guessing that certain abilities will be restricted to specific classes?
I rarely used the jump pack outside of maps with a big open expanse so, I won't be frowning too much about that. I hope that each ability fits each class well, as opposed to just having an ability for a certain class that doesn't make any sense in regards to their characteristics on the battlefield.
And yeah, Amazon did a great 'two for £75' offer during E3 last year, and I am hoping they will do it again! Trouble is, given the jump in, jump out nature of the original Star Wars Battlefront, I feel somewhat compelled to buy it digitally this time round.
I just hope it doesn’t end up being a case of having to log in or play an online multiplayer match every single day just to reap the rewards. Not everybody has an abundance of time on their hands! I always prefer the ‘skill > time spent’ way of things for a multiplayer game.
Pardon my ignorance, but what are the Clone Commandos, and what’s a ‘special unit’?
Although I will mostly be playing the game in multiplayer, I do hope the single player campaign is worth the entry fee. It has been such a long time since a decent standalone story has been told in a Star Wars game. Probably Knights of the Old Republic, back in 2003 (!)
@DarthNocturnal Oof, that comic was drawn over seven years ago, back in 2010.
I feel old all of a sudden...
Are you buy any chance buying the digital ‘Deluxe’ version of Star Wars Battlefront II? The reason why I ask is because you can play the game three days early if you choose to do so. I won’t be, seeing as I have pre-ordered a physical copy of the bog-standard version of this game, but am curious to see if you have, is all!
p.s. The map selection is pretty good actually. I am chuffed to bits to finally see Mos Eisley in this one.
The ORIGINAL Star Wars Battlefront 2 has had it's multiplayer restored! It's being run via GoG's “GoG Galaxy“ , and it has crossplay with the Steam version.
Is it just as glitchy and exploitable as I remember it being?
Where my friends and I usually get stupid:
https://www.twitch.tv/MUDWALLHOLLER - Come by hang and visit our Discord. The link for Discord is on the Twitch page.
Beta access open for those who preordered, and after spending almost an entire day with it, it's nice.
Going from EA1 to EA2 feels a lot different, and for some reason the best control scheme for starfighters [the one that mirrors the original Battlefront 2] doesn't work, making Starfighter Assault pretty much a no-go until it gets patched. Everything else is great though, even if heroes seem to bite the dust a bit too quickly at times.
