nothing special today, only a cinematic in-engine trailer

Quite sure that post is not trying to hype Star Wars for E3, but just for now

I wouldn't read too much into that, E3 are just riding dat Battlefront hype train.

 

[ElzarTheBam]

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.

Actually three things

Star Wars + Battlefront + DICE

But your approach is the sensible one

Dice is making it. The gameplay will be great.

WHat time is it there? Still so dark

ANd are they already standing in the queu...? It's still 4,5 hours...

 

[VibratingDonkey]

The Death Star being the effigy of your hype is prescient, as it blew up into nothing. Search your feelings. You know it to be true.

 

[Kleegamefan]

Holy fucking wow!

That is all I have to say

 

[Lakitu]

Holy fucking wow!

That is all I have to say

Have you seen something or are you talking about the footage on the front page?

 

[In Service]

I think its 6:30pm.

I concur.

Haha no man i'm sadly not there :3

 

[PnCIa]

People forgot about that a long time ago. Considering it spent its whole release being fixed people got sick of it

I suppose people should not forget about that mess and keep their hype in check.

 

[OraleeWey]

Just joined the thread. What's going on? What's in 6 hours?

We'll see. I guess my skepticism of Star Wars has been so high since the last movie. The latest movie trailer still has me worried. JJ hasn't been great, he ruined Star Trek after all.

We'll see.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

Holy fucking wow!

... and keep their hype in check.

Joke right?

 

[m@cross]

Hopefully it comes out early enough to confirm it doesn't run like BF4 at launch before the sales end.

 

[thatJohann]

What time does this start and can it be live streamed?

I think even without the new movie, we'd still be hyped.

I mean this is battlefront, a series that skipped an entire generation, a decade, and now finds itself being developed by the one team you'd want it to be developed by.

 

[jacksepticeye]

haha yeah good luck with that. There's no way to contain hype for something like this and honestly I don't see a reason to either, let people be excited. Plus different franchises and supposedly different gameplay styles too

 

[MADGAME]

Was anyone keeping track of the people who said they would change their avatar, eat their own poop with sprinkles, etc if certain conditions of the game were met?

 

[In Service]

What time does this start and can it be live streamed?

Just wait until the sky darkens, the thunder claps and the internetz breaks - then ye shall know it is time.

Spoiler

6:30pm UK Time and yes it can I think, check the EA website

 

[Kleegamefan]

Since EA has Star Wars they need to Bioware working in a new KOTOR.

Did you see the thing most people are gonna see? Or did you see the demo that the attendees are going to see or both?

[InsaneTiger]

Will Battlefront bring us a cure for cancer?

 

[Lakitu]

That's cool and all but how are people seeing this early? A couple have already seen it in here.

 

[Gambit1977]

Added you all too.

Awesome! THANK YOU!
So hyped for this!

 

[Kleegamefan]

Oh, and I have no idea what it was running on..

It *might* have been a monster PC....I didn't see any button prompts to tell one way or the other, so.....

:/

Cool! I don't know why people are so doubtful of consoles having awesome graphics. Especially when games like The Order, Ryse, Killzone, Uncharted 4, Infamous, etc. exist. Not to mention its current gen only. Even if the footage is on a PC, consoles can look quite similar too! BF4 look pretty good.

 

[SomTervo]

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.

There's no standard way for this working.

Also 2.5 years is a very solid amount of time for a large developer, with plenty of resources, who don't need to develop their engine, to create a fairly large game.

Engine development can take, afaik, about 12-18 months. Add that time on to this project and you've got a normal game development cycle, like 3-4 years.

 

[Alienous]

I don't need to know what was seen, but if it was gameplay.

An in-engine trailer, no matter how good it looks, that might as well be CG doesn't work for me.

 

[v1lla21]

Haha no man i'm sadly not there :3

Lol I thought you were since you're one of the few posting a lot of pictures from the celebration.

 

[Lucifon]

Also wondering this. In-engine footage is completely pointless, really hoping it's in-game footage.

Dude how many times do people have to tell you that it is not CGI?

I'll quote it again, just for you.

Lol I thought you were since you're one of the few posting a lot of pictures from the celebration.

No, I just follow a lot of SWBF peeps on twitter.
