Excited for this one, but concerned about just how short the development cycle seemingly is. Based on the creative director's blog post, they were presented with the opportunity to make the game in spring 2013, so from there to wrap up Battlefield and staff up, that is very little time for a November 2015 release. Even with a mostly ready engine. I hope they just make the tough choice of dropping single player campaign and focus on just multiplayer.

Battlefront 1 was released September 2004

Battlefront 2 was (suprisingly) released October 2005

They've had more time.

That's 2,5 year. That seems long enough for an enormous big team like DICE. Don't they also have something like 300+ employees?

Two years has been a pretty common development cycle once the tech is mostly in place. We are just getting used to these three to four year cycles recently because studios have had to completely rebuild their engines. I would think we will be starting to see development times go back down to around two years soon now that most studios have built their new engines. Battlefront should be fine considering its 2.5 year development time and the leasons learned from the BF4 launch/patching.

If mass effect 4 drops in 2016, it'll have had a 4 year turn around time from ME3.

So I haven't read through this whole thread, but "we" are kinda certain this will incorporate the tech of the earlier "scrapped" Battlefront? Right?
And I mean especially the transitioning from a land battle into a space battle (flying your x-wing all the way into space and even into bigger craft)

Or am I just dreaming now?

No one?
I haven't been following any updates or news lately (been on the road the last 7 months traveling through Asia)

Most times long dev cycles are due to new engines or software and things like that unless it's just a gigantic open world game or something. DICE have a huge team and already have a great engine in place, most of the dev time I'd imagine went to art type stuff
 
Hype has reached critical mass, I'm leaving a lecture early just to catch the stream.

I mean, yeah, it's an irresponsible thing to do but, A) It's a lecture. B) This is Battlefront. It's worth it.

The ability to attend a lecture is insignificant next to the power of the Hype Star.

Still unbelievers i see - be prepared to eat some serious crow. People are so greatly underestimating what developers are gonna be able to do with the new console hardware once they start utilizing it the way it was designed to be utilized...especially the PS4 and of course PC with upcoming DX12.

That first screen shot is very very well in line with what we should expect this generation. Dev's are just now starting to scratch the surface on the new hardware and it will only improve as time goes on.

You're expecting that IQ on PS4? if so it'll be you who will eat crow
 
I would like to submit my application to join the Imperial Death Star of hype. Thanks! I need to be home fast before this begins! (6.30 CET)
 
Not really interested in Star Wars, but I'm desperate for a futuristic Battlefield, so until they pull their fingers out and give us a sequel to 2142 this will have to do. Hopefully the trailer has some proper gameplay, the video on the first page just looks like cg, although if it did look like that on pc then holy shit!
 
I understand why you guy are hyped for a game purely with Star Wars in the title.

But I won't be jumping on the train until after I see some solid gameplay.

A teaser trailer isn't enough.
