Oh wow. Do the paddles work? I absolutely need those

Sure do. Just configure the Elite controller via the Windows app and hook it up to your PS4 and the mapping will carry straight over.

Here's the thread for it...

So you just buy this little dongle, plug in an Xbox controller, and it'll work on the PS4?

SIMPLICITY

• Star Wars Battlefront marks a return to a simpler time of shooter games. There are no killstreak rewards, perks, or weapon attachments. No prone stance, or limited movement when aiming down a sight. Access to powerful weapons and vehicles are scattered around the map for the taking. Weapons have unlimited ammo in addition to an active-reload style cooldown system, and are weaker than most of today’s shooters which result in longer times to kill.

Nice thought, but I wish they'd taken the same philosophy to their weapon/perk unlock grind. Don't remember having to deal with those in simpler times.

Do you think GMG will come through

Sadly, no. I also was looking forward to a pre-load as well.

You'll receive the key via email and it'll also be accessible from your GMG account onsite. We're not carrying the preload or pre-purchase extras, though, so keys should be issued on launch day.

Jesus, what an insane 2 weeks for shooters

Plus a USB hub to avoid the authentication issue that happens every 10mins or so without it.

 

[RoKKeR]

C'mon EA you stingy bastards! It's tomorrow in most of the world at this point, unleash the hounds.

 

[enzo_gt]

Any word on the size of the 1.01 patch?

 

[nikos]

Currently watching all of the films in preparation. Was falling asleep during the first two, but I'm hoping I end up liking it by the end of the series.

Not sure how I feel about the lack of a traditional campaign, but enough friends are picking this up to keep multiplayer interesting.

 

[RyanW]

So will the EA Access trial be available at 12 AM Midnight or sometime randomly tomorrow?

 

[Voidwolf]

Amazing OT! Can't wait to start playing this at midnight on the 17th, if only PC had EA Access.

Womp rat*


Sorry, I had to.

Bummer! I wonder why they weren't able to get preorder keys.

 

[Hikami]

Can't wait to play this.
Well.. yes I can since I have Black Ops 3 and Fallout 4 to keep me busy til Tuesday. But this is what I've been waiting for. Played the beta non-stop and I'm ready for more.

 

[MrDaravon]

Does the EA Access of this give you the 100% full game, just with the time limit constraint? I don't have an Xbox One myself but if so I'm eagerly anticipating extended hands-on from folks with levels/gear/modes past what was in the beta.

 

[JDHarbs]

Nice thought, but I wish they'd taken the same philosophy to their weapon/perk unlock grind. Don't remember having to deal with those in simpler times.

I don't know if I would call it a grind. Most will unlock everything pretty quickly. The total list of weapons in the game is a fraction of the size of other shooters.

Traits didn't seem nearly as unbalanced in this game as traditional perks are in other shooters. The impact on gameplay seemed minimal, at least in the beta.

They're there, but definitely simplified in comparison to other games from this genre.

Yeah.

 

[Prototype]

This is a lovely OT, and I am so happy we can have a game like this, the simplicity part of the OT in particular is perfect. Exactly why I'm excited to get it.

 

[RyudBoy]

Glad it's almost here.

One of the few beta/demos that sold me on making a purchase. Bring it on!

 

[Tubie]

Shit I forgot we get an early OT due to EA access.

Can't wait for your impressions XboxGAF!

Got my Ultimate Digital Edition ready to go for next week tho.

 

[Kagoshima_Luke]

Bought Rise of the Tomb Raider and Fallout 4 on launch day. Now this just around the corner. GCU helps, but wallet's taking a beating...

 

[Hidden One]

Why isn't EA access a thing on PC?

 

[Lgndryhr]

Nice OT. Battlefront 2 was on PSP also.

Excited for this. Preordered yesterday for PS4.

 

[Lrrr]

Currently watching all of the films in preparation. Was falling asleep during the first two, but I'm hoping I end up liking it by the end of the series.

First two as in Eps 1/2 (TPM, AOTC) or the original releases as in Eps 4/5 (ANH, ESB)?

 

[JDHarbs]

Yeah, but it was such a lower quality game from the console version.

 

[ComputerBlue]

I was wondering why this OT was already up. Damn EA Access is a thing of beauty and I'd pay for it if I had an X1.

One more week, can't wait to play. Will be nice to get some impressions of the whole package though.

 

[Karl_Dilkington7]

Bummer! I wonder why they weren't able to get preorder keys.

I'm quite disappointed as well. The bad thing is that the download for Origin is 27 gigs.

From their Twitter:

Star Wars Battlefront will be a 23GB download on PS4, 19GB on Xbox One and 27GB on Origin.

Episodes 4 and 5.

 

[matrixman92]

damn, they said they dont have a time to announce as of 30 minutes ago. Hope its up at 12 EST

 

[Lgndryhr]

Yeah, but it was such a lower quality game from the console version.

Oh by no means am I saying it was equivalent. I played Battlefront 2 a bunch on PC. I did buy the PSP version though and enjoyed what it had to offer.

 

[Machina]

EDIT: Read the above. That is horseshit

 

[bigDave]

oh my god, for a second i thought this was General Grievous

 

[Thug Waffle]

lol pretty screwed up that they can't give an exact time when the game will be available, considering we're less than two hours away from the 12th.

C'mon, EA.

 

[super-heated plasma]

Does this unlock at 9 pst for ea access members?

 

[matrixman92]

Not even EA knows apparently

 

[JDHarbs]

EA Star Wars just shared a Facebook photo saying 1 more day until access.

Seems to me like all signs are pointing to tomorrow afternoon/evening for unlock. Something must be going on with the XB1 dashboard update to cause the delay.

Edit:

The EA Access Trial is up for download now.

It's up!

Edit: the trial that is, also beaten

Well, that worked

[Yoday]

I wonder why all three versions are a different size? They all seemed to be running the same assets in the Beta. It increases by 4GB from platform to platform as well, that seems like a strange coincidence.

 

[CrewShadow]

The EA Access Trial is up for download now.

 

[CaptainCook]

Downloading!

 

[matrixman92]

im not seeing it. Where is it?

Need for speed is the first thing on the list

 

[SapientWolf]

Why isn't EA access a thing on PC?

Because a third of the games are sports titles that EA didn't bother to port over, and because the games eventually end up going on sale for cereal prices anyway. Which makes the value even more dubious.

 

[kitschbeam]

Fantastic OT. Can't wait to play this game.

Although I'm still not sure which version to get, either PS4 or PC

 

[Im_So_Pringles]

I'm so salty about GMG not having preload that I'm getting my money back and getting the game on Origin lol

 

[Anton Sugar]

Downloading! Just search "Battlefront" in the store and pick the one called "Star Wars Battlefront."

 

[RyanW]

View Battlefront on the actual Xbox Store App, it should have something along the lines of "Try with EA Access"

 

[matrixman92]

oh I found it, I clicked on the full game in ea access, which took me to the store. Then right next to "Bundle Only" is the option for the trial

 

[Jtrizzy]

Based EA Access, Is there no way to see file size, download speed, or a time estimate on XB1? I thought there was but all I see is a percentage sign with no info.

 

[Klocker]

DL... yaaas

2% come on come on

 

[CrewShadow]

im not seeing it. Where is it?

Need for speed is the first thing on the list

If you click Star Wars it will send you to the store, and if you wait a couple seconds it will said Try Trial with EA Access right next to "Bundle Only"
