Star Wars Battlefront [PS4, XO]

[Laa-Yosh]

That'd definitely break the internet!

Who else thinks the gameplay reveal at least on consoles won't look like the alpha in engine graphics shown earlier? But then again maybe achievable at 900p/30fps on PS4 by butchering the res.

 

[London Geezer]

Of course it won't. Let's be serious here.

 

[Newguy]

I have my reservations even for PC, dozens of AI with a lot of action going on added, vehicles and stuff added into the scenes. It's a lot to ask for but maybe I'm overestimating it, or maybe it'll require a monster PC for 1080/60 with everything on. Not too long to go now.

 

[Laa-Yosh]

I've been referring to the spoiler. So I am serious.

I am quite excited for this game! Hope DICE delivers...I also hope that they don't release a completely broken game.

Do we know if they have destruction in the game? A Star Wars Battlefield game with destruction...aaaaaamazing!

Sony. Believe. Meh.

I'm fine with butchering the res.

I'd rather get a game the really pushed the technology even if it means that it's only going to be 900p/30fps with mediocre AA on console because if it's multiplatform, I can always get to 1080+p/60 on a PC.

I think Laa-Yosh is referring to the Jar Jar spoiler, cause.. yes, that would definitely break the internet.

I agree but wasn't the whole point of the old DICE Frostbite 2 presentations that their engine was targeting each last gen console and PC strengths?

They also had a large required install for last gen consoles and in many ways Battlefield 3 felt closer to a first party dev game than cross-platform.

The destruction was awesome and it sure would be cool.

That's always gonna be the case probably and depending on how recent and how much $$$ the PC costs which dwarfs current gen consoles. At least the Battlefield 3/4/Hardline push more tech than the latest CoD game.

Then again DICE might have a more advanced and mature version of Frostbite. To me btw with having Visceral Games make Hardline...that's a dead give away to training to make Deadspace sequels.

Remember we all were in awe of Killzone 2 in game images...yet the Killzone games never went into mandatory installs last gen when they could have.

At the very least Rebel Strike's Endor moon forest will finally be surpassed.

 

[AlNom]

What a weird way to tease.

 

[Scott_Arm]

Yah, I don't really see why anyone is getting excited about a picture of a stormtrooper. Just show me the game footage already.

 

[NRP]

Game footage is almost certainly much less impressive. That's why we always get the bullshots on the hype train.

 

[Laa-Yosh]

To be honest I don't really find that CG stomtrooper that impressive. It's a collection of reasonably simple shapes and materials, could've been done just like this a decade ago. But considering the genre of the game it's still a better choice than, say, a Rebel commando in ROTJ forest gear - much more iconic.

Although... now I wonder about whether you can also play as an Ewok...

 

[Scott_Arm]

If I can be an Ewok it's a day 1 purchase

 

[DieH@rd]

I'm fully on board on the game being 30fps, expecially since third person view will apparently be the default one. Just make it great, and PC gamers will extract more fps with ease.

 

[L. Scofield]

Desert storm trooper most likely means that we'll see Tatooine in the trailer.

 

[ultragpu]

So this is indeed an ingame asset, I know it's downsampled with uber AA and perhaps mental ray lighting but still astounded by the sheer smoothness of the mesh. This could be adaptive tessellation on character?
