I hope there is a lot of clone wars era stuff

 

[matrixman92]

so the game is out sometime in November then...and there is dlc planned before the end of 2015....if this is true that is....jesus christ.

Raining down destruction on the field in an AT-AT in glorious HD sounds ridiculously awesome.

At least it better be full 1080p on PS4...

 

[maneil99]

Frostbite has shown its not able to handle large amounts of vehicles and netcode at the same time, look at hardline or BF4, vehicle interactions with the environment are incredible buggy, I remain very skeptical Battlefront will succeed.

Old Republic era?

I believe it was meant to specify the "old" republic before the Empire, the prequel version of the republic. Not "The Old Republic" as we know it from KOTOR. The "republic" would be the post rebellion good guys.

I call baloney on 64v64 unless DICE is actually adding bots to the game.

DLC is going to sell like hot cakes since most of it is tied to the movie.

It may hit 1080 if it's 30fps but at 60 with a large scale, it's doubtful unless it changes between modes or something.

I call baloney on most of this tbh.

 

[Im_So_Pringles]

Nah. I'm calling BS on most of this list. Some "rumors" are givens, and some are too farfetched. Can't wait until DICE shows this game soon.

 

[Valnen]

I don't need 60 FPS if it means sacrificing 1080p.

 

[DeaviL]

I don't need 60 FPS if it means sacrificing 1080p.

Don't worry,
if even half of those rumors are true you'll be sacrificing both 1080p and 60fps.

 

[Tablo]

I wonder if this will get the low overhead DX12 treatment, that would be sweet.
I'll definitely upgrade my rig for this game.

 

[SargerusBR]

Grain of salt offcourse.
The majority of the campaign will take place during the original trilogy era. All of the battles and settings that you would expect to be there will be playable. It was said that the campaign itself is pretty long when compared to other first person shooters.

The scale of the multiplayer is going to be absolutely massive with up 64 players participating on each side.

Space to land battles are absolutely happening, but will only be available in certain game modes.

I WANT TO BELIEVE

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

The last section of the campaign takes place before and during the opening segments of The Force Awakens. Don’t expect anything too revealing, because the game is expected to ship about a month before the movie releases.

The scale of the multiplayer is going to be absolutely massive with up 32 players participating on each side.

Space to land battles are absolutely happening, but will only be available in certain game modes.

There will be a “hero” system in place, where as you play you accumulate points that you can eventually cash in to play as a “hero” character. These characters are extremely powerful and have abilities that are not available to the normal characters that you play for most of the matches. The system is constantly in flux, but as it is now, pretty much everyone have a chance to play as a hero at least once per match.

I don't expect 128 players, likely a miscommunication there.

Still, I hope these rumors are true. Especially about a November release. I already talked to my boss who is a huge Star Wars fan and he said I could take three paid days off the week that SWBF comes out.

Making Star Wars is pretty reliable. This may be worthy of a new thread.

 

[Seventy_X_Seven]

Meh, cool concept art I guess but doesn't pique my interest nearly as much as that original concept art from Battlefront II

 

[CloudWolf]

Old Republic era?

Prequel trilogy republic, the KOTOR games and books aren't canon anymore, so they won't be in any official games.

 

[Necromanti]

Do Star Wars games still sell in this day and age? The new movie might help with that, though.

Star Wars sells like crazy. EA is probably looking at 20m units sold.
