This game is out 17th in the UK had no idea the American neighbors would get it on Access so quick.

Same. I saw the OT and was like "FUCK, it's out already!?". Went straight to Amazon to order it and realised that it was because of EA Access. XD

So when are the reviews available?

Anyone with EA Access can get it now regardless of where you live.

 

[Gurish]

I guess it's still 720P right?

Anyone have a good quality footage of a match in Endor?

I thought it was the 17th too, but both Amazon and GAME have it listed as the 19th? Since when have games been released on a Thursday?

It is the 19th. I checked wiki and the ps store.

EU peasants always get big releases last

The benefit of being able to VPN with Origin on PC makes me happy!

This stream is on Endor now.

Edit: Crap he quit out.

 

[def sim]

play as palpatine and shooting forward like an octopus is so much fun

 

[JonCha]

So hyped for this. A shame I probably won't be getting it until December though!

 

[Theorry]

To bad you cant upload screenshots and clips. Its disabled atm
Anyone with a capture card making screenshots?

 

[gossi]

I've played some time on 40 player matches now - it runs really smooth. Feels better than beta performance.

 

[Kane1345]

This is fucking awesome: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QNl5yDoYn3M

This made me so excited lol

 

[jeemer]

Just out of interest, who else *doesn't* care if stormtroopers can opt to have no helmet? I genuinely thought the person earlier in this thread who said he wasn't buying because of this was joking.

I know someone mentioned that the stormtroopers are no longer clones and may have helmets removed in the new trilogy - regardless, I've been a star wars fan since I was a young kid and the idea of a stormtrooper without a helmet doesn't bother me in the slightest.

I would have no objections to having a setting where you can disable viewing other peoples's customisation though.

 

[Terbinator]

Is there modes without the Heroes?

 

[ZeroX03]

Oh DIP it's hit Access? I'm on it!

I'm very against it, but it won't affect my purchase. The evil army kind of loses its intimidation factor if only half the troops are wearing their helmets into battle.

Completely against it, for me they are the most iconic figures in the Star Wars and my favourite to boot. However I will still be buying (have to wait until Christmas though) I just won't use the option!

 

[Kingsora]

So early impressions?

Enough variety between the maps? What are the best maps in the game? Do the Ewoks in Hoth affect the gameplay?

Overal impressions?

 

[gossi]

Me neither. It's a video game where you shoot pew pew lasers and fight with aliens and robots.

 

[JumPeRJumPzZ]

Han Solo is awesome xD Got a 15 kills spree with him

 

[ZeroX03]

Oh there's no episode VII content in the game yet right?

 

[Yoday]

Oh there's no episode VII content in the game yet right?

Correct, and even The Battle of Jakku content coming a few weeks after launch isn't technically episode VII content, as it takes place between the old and new trilogys.

 

[ElzarTheBam]

Fantastic variations of the maps.

It's not like Battlefield, where a part of the maps is used for different game types.

Each game type in Battlefront has its own unique map/weather/atmosphere.


And I am so, so glad.

Looks and runs great on XboxOne.

Veeery fun gameplay.

Map variety is nice, all the matches ive played felt different. New routes, playstyles etc.

Endor is my favorit map.

Ewoks dont really affect gameplay. They only jump out when no one is near their hut.

Okay good, trying to go into the movie completely blind.

Endor <3
It looks so real. Its insane.

 

[gossi]

Playing on Endor at night right now. 'Moon mode'. Looks amazing still.

 

[gossi]

An Ewok just hit me on the head with a stone. I got an achievement for it.

Hnnnggggggg. This is the first time I've seen this confirmed, thanks. Just another week to wait

So the weather and time of day it's always the same for every combination of map+mode?

 

[Bisnic]

Anyone know if the physical PC version will allow me to skip downloading 27gb of stuff from Origin, or is the CD in there only going to install like 100mb and the rest will be a bigass download?

 

[ElzarTheBam]

So the weather and time of day it's always the same for every combination of map+mode?

Yep, but there's so many variations.

Each area below is different in size and layout.

Endor on TDM is Misty, dusky and dry.

Endor on CTF is rainy and damp.

Endor in supremecy is nightkime, with the moon and fire lamps providing light.

Endor in WA is bright and lush.

 

[Slaythe]

The line is "This is where the fun begins". BTW.

 

[darkwing]

can't wait, have to preload later

 

[NaughtyPrawn]

I cannot contain the hype. Pre-ordered Ultimate Edition me and my friends have the day off work for release.

Bring on next Thursday!

 

[JaggedSac]

Looking through the game earlier

I don't see the complaints about content, there's so much

Especially in MP, and especially compared to H5's multiplayer suite.

Maybe H6 should drop SP so we get more MP at launch.

 

[Rudiano]

Oh wow EA Access is awesome, I thought you had to get that and pre-order a game to play that early for 10 hours. I was wrong, just joined the army

 

[OléGunner]

Anybody know when review floodgates open?

Bit silly to have press embargoes while many can post videos and impressions online at the moment.

An Ewok just hit me on the head with a stone. I got an achievement for it.

lmao fucking wat.

 

[SenatorBot]

How are you guys enjoying it compared to the beta?

Did they improve/fix some of the complaints from the beta?

Battlefront looks like a fun simple shooter so I'm excited to grab it if it turns out to be better than the beta.

 

[gossi]

Review embargo is release day I think.

And yes, I really did get an achievement for being hit by an Ewok. They fly over head on Endor at night, twatting imperials with stones.

 

[derFeef]

Is there a way in Origin to buy from US (I'm in EU) region, without risking my account?
Saving a few bucks...

I used a VPN to purchase Titanfall from Mexico and nothing happened to my account. Their policies may have changed since then though.

sod that, buy from mexican origin. i already did and got my confirmation that they're taking payment today. it cost ~£52 for the ultimate version.

google mexican origin, last time i did it came up specifically with a video guide to buying battlefront with it.

Ha! That is glorious.

 

[SolVanderlyn]

I hope this game is still hopping come Christmas.

If anything it should get more traffic around then, with the movie and all.

 

[OSHAN]

The line is "This is where the fun begins". BTW.

OP has it right, unless it was changed in the special editions, which seems dumb enough to be true.

The new Star Wars movie comes out then. (Just spotted edit, hee)

 

[Wil348]

I bought the game from U.S PSN. I've done it before and nothing happened to my account. Still, I only did this because it's releasing two days earlier in the states, I would have been paying roughly the same price had I bought it from Amazon (around £40).

I think it's fucking stupid, but I'm still gonna buy the game. Can't believe taking your helmet off was the only cosmetic alteration they could think of beyond "all black" or "Endor dudes."

Problem with disabling customization is that you then wouldn't see the diversity among rebel troops, which actually DOES make sense.
