Look the first and second battlefront had some sort of campaigns while playing offline with AI on both sides and doing missions. This is all ready not worth the money.

 

[Guymelef]

I think is to soon to assume the marketing deal based on that they played PS4 version.

 

[Naminator]

No space battles is very, very disappointing, It's great that they kept 3rd person and Heroes, but without both eras and without Space Battles I'm not really expecting this to be an 'improvement' in terms of features. Other than the graphics it seems like a step backwards in some ways.

Well they have to keep something for the Xpacs and sequels right?

I'm guessing the space battles will be part of some kind of Titan mode.

I hope this game has a Titan mode..............PLEASE!

 

[AHA-Lambda]

No Clone Wars era content?

Glad they got rid of space battles. They sucked in BF2.

And the first bad news for me had to drop. But it is not a deal breaker.

 

[SilentRacoon]

Beautiful bullshots. It will be jarring when they finally show the actual, dull FPS gameplay.

Sigh.

What is the point of your post honestly? I have read your posting in other threads posting negative remarks based on nothing but assumptions, just like you are doing now.

And for people asking yes you can switch at any time from perspective view, here from GI article "changes the viewpoint from first-person to third, something players can freely do at any time during gameplay."

 

[Nokterian]

So you've played it? What other content is in the game?

Give me a break.

Ehm did you read the tweet? Clearly not.

 

[tim1138]

Splitscreen and third person?! Guess I'm buying a PS4.

 

[VisceralBowl]

No Clone Wars era content?

The only real disappointment so far. Probably DLC or a future game.

 

[『Inaba Resident』]

The game has a "campaign" mode.

 

[DrGonzo615]

Haha and they expect us to believe that's real time?, LOL.

Pretty much this. I cant believe that people are really accepting those screens as non-bullshots.

 

[adj_noun]

No campaign? D: Aw, nertz.

 

[Rajang]

No space battles or a campaign?

lol

Sn4ke you can come back now.

 

[bananafactory]

Surprised so many people prefer 3rd person

Battlefront has always been a first person game for me

 

[JumPeRJumPzZ]

At this point we kinda know what the difference will be, just look at BF4 and Hardline and the differences between PS4/XB1 and it'll be a safe bet the difference will be about the same.

Or the improved both. 900p for Xbone and 1080p for PS4. I really hope so.

 

[Auto_aim1]

More details.

DICE general manager Patrick Bach told Eurogamer Star Wars: Battlefront does not feature a campaign. Rather, it features "crafted missions" that are played solo, with a friend via split-screen offline or cooperatively online.

Elsewhere, Star Wars: Battlefront, due out in the UK on 20th November 2015 for PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, has a maximum player count of 40. However, Bach told Eurogamer Battlefront will include a raft of modes that have different player caps, some significantly smaller than the bigger modes that cap at 40.

During battles players can switch from a first-person perspective to a third-person perspective at will. DICE said you'll also be able to customise your characters, choosing gear, weapons and abilities - although don't expect to be able to put a pink cape on Darth Vader.

There's a two-player splitscreen mode, and the Partner feature means two players can share experience and unlocks, and spawn at each other's location.

[CassidyIzABeast]

No space battles, no campaign, 40 players. This is how you break the internet?

 

[SpyGuy239]

DICE is a well-funded, successful studio with plenty of talented artists on staff who are more than capable of producing near-photorealistic Stormtroopers or X-Wings, but it's chosen to use extensive photogrammetry, a technique which composites high-resolution scans of real-world objects to create digital assets. DICE has used this process to create digital impressions of several key props and models used in the original films. It means that not only are the proportions of such objects precise and authentic, but every scratch and blemish of the original object is also translated into the game. What is means is that the X-Wings available in the game are, essentially, the X-Wings from the original movie. Similarly, a comparable process – PBR (physically-based rendering) – was used to make sure the environments display a comparable level of fidelity, with DICE travelling to and scanning many of the key shooting locations used in the original trilogy. It's a fanatical quest for detail that I suspect most people won't consciously notice, though it's one of the silent factors in making this feel so much like Star Wars.

THIS IS UNREAL AND UNPRECEDENTED FOR A GAME.

No wonder it looks so fucking fantastic!

 

[SargerusBR]

The game has a "campaign" mode.

Similar to Battlefront 1 then?

 

[Omni]

Ehm did you read the tweet? Clearly not.

Did you?

Rather than a traditional solo outing, Battlefront will rely on a set of short missions which can be played alone, or cooperatively via split-screen or online

 

[ArchedThunder]

Also no campaign.

Kinda disappointing, but after Battlefield 3 and 4's terribad campaigns I'm okay with this.

You really think so? BF4 screens can be touched up using the cinematic tools, so it wouldn't surprise me if the same was going on with these promo shots. I'm sure they've also put extra effort into geometry (especially those river rocks) but I think it's a leap to say that much detail will transfer over to the console versions. Certainly not at 60fps. I'd love to be wrong.

Those two images are nowhere near the shots of this game.

 

[Hexa]

Also no campaign.

I hope Titanfall didn't start a trend in EA. :/

 

[Olengie]

Wish there was a Lighsabers only mode.

 

[VinFTW]

- No campaign
- No space battles
- No pilotable walkers
- Probably exclusive content on PS4

Welp.

Spoiler

Coop and 3rd person toggle is nice though

 

[MiguelItUp]

I'm comfortable with there being no campaign. I mean, the Battlefield series didn't have a campaign for the longest time and they were still solid. The one part I'm having a hard time swallowing is the lack of space battles. Don't get me wrong, I'm still UBER hyped! I'm just hoping there's future DLC that makes it possible, I can't imagine there being a Battlefront game with no space interaction.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

They didn't had much development time.

You want a campaign.

You want space battles.

But you'd be the first to cry when the game has a disastrous launch like BF4 did.

 

[OdysseusVA]

Better be priced accordingly.

 

[mcz117chief]

You're actually glad there are no space battles and no campaign?

Oh well, every game deserves a fair chance, but I'm not exactly pleased with this info.

The less things there are the less things that can go wrong.

 

[War Eagle]

YESSS!!

[3rd person confirmed]

http://www.gameinformer.com/games/s...sive-first-look-at-star-wars-battlefront.aspx

The choice between first and third person all but confirms a day one purchase for me.

 

[D4Danger]

Star Wars: Battlefront does not feature a campaign. Rather, it features "crafted missions" that are played solo, with a friend via split-screen offline or cooperatively online.

I'm picturing boring Destiny style grinds

 

[Atlas157]

ITT: People can't read

Same as Battlefront 2.

 

[SpaceHorror]

I don't care about a campaign, I just hope they have something like Galactic Conquest. That mode was better than any campaign DICE is capable of.

Give me that and bots and I'm fine.

 

[Eggbok]

Also no campaign.

https://twitter.com/MitchyD/status/589096669423083520

I'm confused now, there is no campaign yet everything takes place during battles from the movies? Is this going to be story based multiplayer like Titanfall?

Edit:

Rather than a traditional solo outing, Battlefront will rely on a set of short missions which can be played alone, or cooperatively via split-screen or online

Hmmm.

 

[ArkkAngel007]

Will there be a SP?

Yes, just not a single, cohesive campaign. Individual missions that can be *ahem* solo'd or co-oped.

Repeat, the game is NOT online only.

 

[On Demand]

Also no campaign.

Fuck this. Mutiplayer only games suck.

Do not want.

 

[ElzarTheBam]

Thank God for no campaign, DICE are bad at it. Hopefully, this means more MP maps instead.

 

[biteren]

No Campaign is hugely disappointing to me, this better have a TON of shit to make up for it.

 

[veloxStrix]

Also no campaign.

That's... disappointing. I would have liked to see DICE set pieces in a Star Wars package.

I probably only would have played it once anyways, but still.

 

[daveo42]

More details.

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2015-04-17-star-wars-battlefront-has-40-player-cap

So Galactic Conquest under a new name then? Online co-op for some of the large scale battles seems kind of fun. This might actually work.

 

[a916]

And they're shit. Just like how Battlefield's campaigns are shit.

Bring on the full MP games DICE. Don't waste resources on mediocre-to-bad campaigns.

Nailed it.

 

[Steel]

That could still happen.

 

[MADGAME]

Glad they got rid of space battles. They sucked in BF2.

So that means they couldn't be done well in another game?

No Campaign is hugely disappointing to me, this better have a TON of shit to make up for it.

1080p/60fps would be a good start. On consoles.

 

[iratA]

Also no campaign.

OH this might have just killed the hype before it begun. :-(

Never felt such a flux of emotions so fast GAH! NO Campaign = NOOOOOO.gif

 

[red731]

fuck me sideways

 

[Bsigg12]

Better be priced accordingly.

So $59.99 with Battlefront Premium at $49.99 in tow?

 

[AHA-Lambda]

Better be priced accordingly.

XD

it's going to be $60 of course!

 

[DrGonzo615]

Better be priced accordingly.

If by "accordingly" you mean $60 + $50 season pass, then yes.

 

[ironcreed]

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2015-04-17-star-wars-battlefront-has-40-player-cap

So missions that I can play solo or in co-op? That works and is better than nothing.
