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

Amazing. Definitely glad I pre-ordered. Impressions here all sound pretty good! Just the wait for the euro version now...

 

[heringer]

Yeah, no helmet stormtroopers breaks a little of the illusion to me. Not a huge issue but still.

This and Palpatine being the same height as Vader is weird.

 

[Mr E.]

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

You won't see fuck all though ?

 

[airjoca]

Stormtroopers with helmet off might be good in case a certain player has killed you a few times, and you want revenge. This way you can distinguish him in the crowd

 

[digoutyoursoul]

I don't know to download or not, was going to wait till launch or Christmas. The impressions are really tempting me though lol

 

[DryvBy]

Just bought my copy last night. When can PS4 people pre-load?

 

[Lifejumper]

So walker assault... Balanced?

I'm sitting here 10 ft away from an Xbox One. I'm tempted to get EA Access.

 

[ElzarTheBam]

I won my first game on Hoth.

Remember there's far more weapons and abilities.

The level 4 ion torpedo does 3 percent (I think) damage to a walker. Now imagine a team full of them.

The walkers also travel either slower or the last base has been made longer compared to the beta, because they take longer to get to the final end line.

Thanks. How about the spawning?

 

[TVexperto]

Yea I would like to know about the spawning as well, the beta spawning was not as good and I heard they said they are going to fix it for the release.

 

[ElzarTheBam]

Thanks. How about the spawning?

Seemed the same TBH, in terms of the spots available on Hoth.

Although, I did notice I spawned more outside the base in the second section of Hoth.

Which is good, as I heavily disliked spawning in the base.

Do it.

Hyped for my 10 hour trial. I love Star Wars but the Beta didn't sell this one for me. I'll see if 10 hours changes my mind.

 

[Tak3n]

This game is just all up fun, I can see hard core players hating it completly

 

[JumPeRJumPzZ]

why?

 

[ElzarTheBam]

Also Hero battles look delicious.

Best out of 5 rounds. Looks really addictive.

 

[Dabanton]

Nice. My trail version is all DL'ed and ready. Have a few tasks then I can give this a go for a hour or so.

 

[gossi]

Found an amusing bug. I was sat in an ATAT as our Walker tried to walk straight through me. It caused my ATAT to moon walk outside the map, I lost control.

 

[robertlebrone]

Oh this is gonna be a great weekend. This game on EA Access and Gamefly should have my copy of Fallout 4 in the mail today.

 

[MNC]

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

Any video of this for the Imperial side?

 

[kriskrosbbk]

i think his point is that if you don't have a gaming pc, why lament 900p when plenty of people are saying it looks fine on the xbone at 720p?



I'm at work right now so can't look yet. What's changed? They haven't added spotting have they? Please say yes!

I did not say I have issues with 900p.I said I hope it is not running worse of X1 because of that resolution.

 

[jediyoshi]

lol at the demo screen if you idle at the main menu

 

[Samus4145]

Anybody know when review floodgates open?

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



lmao fucking wat.

Do you really want reviews for an online game before the game launches?

IMO online games shouldn't be reviewed until after launch. Playing on servers with a handful of journalists is not a good interpretation of how the servers will run. See Battlefield 3 for example.

With that said, we are holding our review till weds/thurs to test servers.

 

[Ambitious]

Does the full game include a tutorial or some kind of manual? There were a few unexplained gameplay elements in the beta which I couldn't figure out. (Or maybe I just didn't find the explanations.)

 

[evilr]

Okay guys so what's the verdict? Does it have enough content to warrant online only? Buying it anyway but concerned about longevity.

 

[digoutyoursoul]

Anyone played Walker Assault on Tattooine yet?

 

[OEM]

Started downloading, will play once I get home.

 

[ElzarTheBam]

Yes

The tutorials are excellent in teaching you and setting the mood.

The first one is a fly through of beggars canyon.

 

[def sim]

It's the same faces except they have stormtrooper armor. The last two variants are the Endor scout trooper suit and the shadow trooper.

 

[JumPeRJumPzZ]

I did

 

[Aztechnology]

How Barren is multiplayer given that it's EA access only?

 

[excaliburps]

lmao fucking wat.

Official EA embargo allows us to post an "impressions" piece today (along with footage) starting later this evening (PT).

Actual review with score is on November 16, evenings (PT). =)

Mind, this is from the review event. I gather, those who got it early and whatnot will post their reviews ASAP. Not sure if day one update is already out before the 17th though.

 

[digoutyoursoul]

I did

Any good?

 

[def sim]

All my matches were filled. ¯\_(&#12484_/¯

 

[robot]

Hmmm can you sign up for EA Access for a month in order to play or do they charge by the year?

Of course you can. $5 for 1month

 

[Snkfanatic]

Day 1 for me on PS4. Cannot wait and I am VERY interested in what they are going to include on the Season Pass.

 

[strafer]

if this game doesn't get a perfect score in Sound Design I'm done with videogames.

 

[gossi]

 

[Kosma]

Damn you Sony for not having EA access, I'd totally pay 5 bucks to play 10 hours of Battlefront now.

 

[Aztechnology]

if this game doesn't get a perfect score in Sound Design I'm done with videogames.

It's true. I'm a very very critical person and this game has near flawless audio to me. The audio work makes for such an authentic experience that it blows my mind.

 

[Pixel Fist]

If I hadn't already got EA access I'd be happy with paying the months fee just for the 10 hours of Battlefront let alone everything else included with it.

Have you played H5? How does it compare to that? Thats my fav sound design by far.

 

[Jito]

Any screenshots of the Stormtroopers without helmets? It does sound bad but I'd need to see how it looks. Just sounds really unnecessary.

 

[ElzarTheBam]

And Graphics

The prettiest MP game I've ever played.

So much...so much attention to detail.

Dirt on endor attaching itself to the white on a stormtrooper.

All the while having that wet sheen from the rain.

Soooo good.

 

[gossi]

Another thing I like - you can knock down trees on Endor.

 

[Aztechnology]

The problem is this is a stupid anti consumer ploy, which is why I have an Xbox One and still won't support this. Those people getting EA access just to play this early are reinforcing this kind of behavior from publishers which negatively impacts us all.

Why?

 

[ST3K3LLY]

I doubled my xbox one games collection when I paid the 20 pounds for the year subscription. It's an excellent idea that also gives discount to games so I can't see the problem?
