Not jump packs, though. Fett's in-game jet pack is very different from the jump pack.

And has anyone tried to analyze the PC code to see if they could hack together a working splitscreen with any of the remnants left behind? People did something similar for L4D IIRC.
6 hrs.
There is new stuff, like the grenade launcher and the rocket launcher (based on M79 Grenade Launcher and RPG-7, respectively. Compare to E-11 which is based on the Sten SMG or the Rebel's blaster rifle (A280C?) which is based on AR-15/M16.)
But basing things to prequels wouldn't mean there's more variety, as the prequels didn't really have anything that the originals had, things just looked a bit different. At least when it comes to weapons, the prequels do feature more vehicles, like the lovely AAT tank.
Being limited to the OT-like equipment isn't a problem, as long as the style is kept, like DICE has. If no liberties would be taken, that might be an issue (like, dealing with AT-ST without rockets).
Functions for new weapons/non-blaster weapons can be stolen from previous SW games... but whether those mesh with blasters is another matter. I personally never though the Flechette gun or the rapid fire gun from Jedi Outcast as Star Wars weapons.
(I never liked the hovertanks and other vehicles not seen in the films that Battlefront 1/2 had. They never felt like Star Wars vehicles, IMO.)

I think im going to run by game stop and change my pre-order to the standard edition. Two new emotes doesn't seem worth ten dollars to me. I would rather dump the ten dollars into the season pass.

These are v. nice. How would you rate the visuals versus other PS4 games on the market?

Pretty sure both are faster, with stronger offensive capabilities at the cost of defense.
I'm not really sure at all. Empire vehicles have a speed boost, and Rebel vehicles have a shield boost. But the difference between an X-Wing and an A-Wing may just be cosmetic.

"Both" being...?

Anyone had any luck playing online yet? I saw people say if you just launch the game you can then disconnect your vpn, but whenever I do that and get a UK IP again it just boots me out of origin.
X-Wing and Interceptor are slower and less agile but do more damage and can take more.
Tie Fighter and A Wing are fast and agile but made of glass
Canonically, TIE Interceptor was pretty much all around upgrade to the TIE Fighter, with better agility and speed and more firepower though it wasn't really sturdier.
Guess it has been tweaked for gameplay's sake?
I'm starting to wonder how this game would've been received had all the content from the season pass had been included with the base game? Would it still get boring quick? Would it still not be worth $60? I wonder if the continuous ranking up system from games like CoD, BF, etc., have conditioned people to expect a reward every few matches? It'd be funny if the boredom people feel is because SWBF doesn't dangle a carrot in front of the gamer. Of course, all those carrots were cut out and are being sold for an extra $50, but that's another story.

I finally started playing it on EA Access. I remember the frame rate being pretty spotty during the xbox one beta but now it's really solid. Haven't really noticed any major drops. Also the game looks absolutely beautiful. The Endor map might be the best looking thing I've ever seen on current gen.

Here is a video of two of the exclusive emotes, I made.
The victory one is poopy though.

Thanks, I wanted to see what I was missing out on. That's defo not worth an extra $10.

No worries
And yes, it's not worth it.
I managed to get the ultimate edition for a very good price on the X1, so that's why I have it.

How do you not suck on PC?
What in the world is that second one supposed to be?
Getting electrocuted. It's the "Ion Shock" emote.

Got my PS4 copy a day early. Seems like servers aren't up yet -- can anyone confirm? Am I stuck playing offline modes?

They are, the second one is ultimate edition exclusive. Called ION shock.
The victory pose is the character throwing the hands in the air 'yipeeee'.
Terrible really.
Shoot First is season pass. Ion Shock and Victory are Deluxe Edition.
If they really want to troll they could have a "This is so wizard!" emote*.
*pleasedonotdothis
Omg. That's awful.
You'd have PC players up in fucking arms. That's a PC no no.
Probably waiting for a full launch to make sure the servers work as it's essentially online only.

embargo is at launch. There are a couple reviews floating around here from people who refused to do the review event.

Hahaha, that is pretty crazy. It was autocorrect and I'm not even sure how that happened. I'm not into anime so it's not even a word I often type.
Thanks. Someone streaming the PS4 version today said it was about 50GB which didn't sound at all right. Wonder where he got that number from.

Only if you use a VPN, UK release is 19th so Origin will detect you are in the UK and set it at that date.
Bullshit.
Blops 3 has it and no one cares. It only makes it a viable option, Kb/m still had the advantage.

What time will this unlock on PSN tonight if I am MTN time?
Apparently non Blast matches have been impossible to find since there aren't a ton of prerelease copies out there. Servers are up though.
