Does anyone know if Battlefront is a FPS or a Third Person game? If it's 3rd person, I'm going to drop my reserve and get doom 3.

Thanks in advance.

FPS. You may be able to switch to third though. When I played it at E3 and Comic Con it was FPS.

both.

I wish I could afford both but it's one or the other.

[epmode]

Spoiler

Didnt Doom3 get some bad impressions at E3? Are we just assuming its great because it looks so nice?

That's funny because I played a build a few weeks ago that was third person only (PS2). The EA people really didn't know about a first person mode, which worried me considerably. Good to hear you've got the option though.

Is Star Wars Battlefront playable only from a 3rd person perspective?
You can play in both 3rd and 1st-person perspectives and it is switchable in-game. We foresee situations (piloting vehicles, etc.) where sometimes it will be advantageous to switch perspectives back and forth so it's up to player preference.

I wasn't disputing the fact it had both modes, just the fact that the EA staff had no idea about it since their build didn't support it.

I never read any bad Doom3 impressions. Though I'm not discounting some XBox only sites/forums where the participants let their stunning ignorance shine.

EA? It's not even made by EA.

I don't know, if I had to get either Battlefront or Doom 3, I think I'd go with Battlefront. Battlefront will be a a great multiplayer game that you will be able to enjoy for a while. Doom 3 on the other hand will be better but will be a shorter game. I doubt I'll play much of the 4 players multiplayer mode after I'm done with the single player. It's up to you.

Ugh. I cant believe Im actually considering buying this game. With Battlefield:Modern Combat delayed to fall 2005, this looks like my only choice for a Battlefield-like game on a console.

EA handles Lucasarts publishing duties in some territories, which is why he would have been directing the question towards them.

both.

 

[golem]

the game seems like it could be good, i think i might buy it, if the demo on the starwars dvd is decent.

Huh? Where? South Africa? First I've ever heard of that. Activision handles Lucasarts titles in the UK, but I've never heard of EA handling them anywhere else.
