Star Wars Battlefront [PS4, XO]

I so wish they would give us the option of 30 vs 60fps tho, damn shame it has to be 900p. Oh well gonna have to stomach it this way.

If it's not full 1080, maybe it'll at least be ~1400x1080 or so.

Great gameplay video - I'm so disappointed this is multiplayer only. Grrr!

 

[Arwin]

Actually I peaked my ears to hear that all the missions were playable offline as well. Very certain that was said. So maybe not as multiplayer only as common belief would have had us.

Yah, you can play solo or couch co-op, I think.

I refuse to cooperate with anybody on my couch. But that is interesting.

Everything looks great except for the explosions, which look completely fake.

 

[TEEDA]

I think the explosions were good Not big but nice particules.

Seriously. This game could look like a movie if it didn't have that stupid HUD.

Not if they are using fireworks though. That's some realistic fireworks IMO.

Just imagine you are in some kind of training stage, also the bullets (or lasers beams) are also harmless, who knows.

Yes I agree (well I understood what you really meant, the game looked realistic). But maybe we could change that in the options? Not unusual nowadays. Opacity, size, etc.

Those explosions aren't the result of bullet impacts or explosive rounds. They're the result of an imaginary laser blast hitting a rock, hence a purely imaginary effect.

Or maybe if we look at how a laser burns through a rock with metal fragments, maybe that effect isn't purely imaginary after all.

Yeah, the particle effects were amazing imo.

 

[ultragpu]

ReWatched a few more times and ended up not as impressed, the environment is pretty barren, I wanna see more of that jungle level.

 

[Karamazov]

And bespin !
You can completely remove the hud in BF4 IIRC.

 

[Billy Idol]

Explosions imo look extremely good....same explosions as in star wars movies.

You're over-thinking it. The movies are the reference and look nothing like this. Also DICE had it right in the teaser footage a year ago:

Now they look like particles recycled from BF and the ridiculous exaggerated orange bloom doesn't help one bit.

You need to rewatch them.

 

[Scott_Arm]

I agree, they don't look like the explosions in the movies. Doesn't bother me much though.

 

[pjbliverpool]

You need to rewatch them.

They still look great to me.

 

[Karamazov]

it's ps4 footage, maybe we can expect more particles and/or smoke from PC version ? Maybe even volumetric smoke like in batman.

 

[L. Scofield]

One positive thing I'll say about the particles is that just like in BF3 and BF4, smoke casts shadows. Love that.
