      Aspyr is one of, if not, THE worst developer studio to ever exist for such a long time. Couple this with the timing of the announcement (just weeks after the release of Star Wars Dark Forces Remastered, which was done by Nightdive Studios (the makers of Turok Remastered) and not these these dumpster rats that call themselves developers at Aspyr) and all the alarms were sounded very loud that this would go terrible

      I wouldn't be surprised if Aspyr barely lifted a finger for this game. My bet is they just lazily slapped some AI-scaled textures onto the old game, recycled console menus, threw in some DLC characters, and called it a day. And to top it off, they couldn't even bother including the cutscenes for the campaign. Aspyr is absolute trash.

    The thing that makes releases like this even more infuriating is remasters CAN be done really, really well with a little bit of effort; I'm specifically thinking of the Command & Conquer Remaster; the original dev team came back and lavished a lot of care and effort on a beloved game. Did it make EA a lot of profit? Probably not, but the sales did apparently it surprised not only EA but the dev team with how well it was received. And that's because it was great.
    I did look who Aspyr sits under, and someone was recently telling me how notoriously awful the Embracer Group are, so the lazy, crappy, half-ar*sed effort suddenly makes sense.

  • @bramblenk7828

      If this game released in a polished state with no touch to netcode , it would absolutely still be dogshit. It's 20 years old and has aged awfully. Even if it competently functioned , this game would be dismissed as garbage in a hot minute.

    • @attackmaster519
      @attackmaster519 Před 3 měsíci +27

      @@Connor8609simplicity =/= poor quality (Great example is Halo. Halo 3 is braindead simplistic when compared to the newer releases, but Halo 3's multiplayer is still far more enjoyable than Infinite's.)
      Like, I'm genuinely confused by what exactly you consider "dogshit" about the game, other than the content itself? Maps are well designed. Movement is good. Gunplay is good. Audio is amazing. AI is laughable, but it's hardly any better nowadays when compared to a similar game like BF2042. It's not a game you'll play back-to-back for the next 3 years, but it's a game you'll come back because what it offers is simply enjoyable.
      Like, other than the graphics and animations absolutely being the product of their times, I don't know what would need to be changed other than fixing bugs.

    • @IggyStardust1967
      @IggyStardust1967 Před 3 měsíci +10

      @bramblenk7828 I have to disagree with you, there. The Command and Conquer Remaster was a huge hit with fans of the original, and there's a big part of the fanbase lobbying for a Remaster of Tiberian Sun/Red Alert 2. But the C&C Remaster was done with tons of love by the original developers, and more surprising, fully backed by EA! Even the re-release of the "Ultimate Collection" (without the Remaster of Tiberian Dawn/Red Alert) was a big hit recently. But again, they changed very little, except to make the collection playable on modern hardware. Again, this was EA doing it... so if you want to talk about "low expectations".... we can start right there.
      I realize there's a lot of problems with his release, but I had a lot of fun in the Single Player side of it (trying to learn the controls of it before heading into Multiplayer). But maybe part of the problem was the end gamer setting themselves up for disappointment. While I'm not saying that the grievances aren't valid.... maybe everyone just expected too much, only to be let down.
      I come from the gaming era of "You bought a game, and it worked. There was no such thing as updates or patches." Hell, you can't update a cartridge with a ROM microchip soldered to a card inside of it. Games these days are fully digital delivery, and I think THAT is part of the problem as well. No "physical media" means no accountability for functionality.

      -Add in B1 Battle Droid from BF1 into BF2 (Space Marine during Space Battles is the only thing close)
      -Add in 1st Person Vehicle HUD from BF1 into BF2 (mods accomplished this very task easily)
      -FOV Slider for both games, 1st & 3rd Person
      -Add some more BF1 maps into BF2 (Rhen Var: Citadel & Harbor & Bespin: Cloud City maps were from BF1 & were successfully ported into BF2. Tattoine: Dune Sea, Kashyyyk Docks & Islands, Bespin: Platforms, Geonosis: Spire)
      -Actually better graphics & 60FPS, Better color saturation like BF1 (BF2 lighting & graphics should replicate BF1. More vibrant blue & red lasers. BF1 is superior in that aspect)
      -FIX THE AI TARGETING & PATHFINDING in BF2!!
      -XL mode (Obviously)
      -Fix different audio cues for BF2 (Award sounds are annoying-should be able to turn off, loud lightsaber ignition, Clone’s rifle sounds bad till this day)
      -Ability to turn off visual aura from Awards (Guardian’s blue aura, War Hero’s red aura cover Sniper class scope)
      -Add in unlock all option for Awards or specific Awards, Unlimted Stamina & Jetpack cheats for BF2
      -Cross-Era Faction Battles (CIS vs Empire or Clones vs Rebels, etc.) (Also ability to revert clones to Phase 1 counterparts in BF2, on any map)
      -Order 66 gamemode for BF2 (Like in 501st Campaign Coruscant Mission)
      -Give BF2 Clones EMP & Concussion grenades from BF1
      -Let ppl choose to have DC-15S Carbine or DC-15A Rifles as primary weapons for Clones in BF2 (PC Mods do this perfectly)
      -Pick & choose which heroes are playable on each map
      -Friendly AI heroes during Instant Action

      Agreed, I didn’t think that many people cared about the multiplayer. I always posted by myself or split screen with my brother. I think the majority of tire people who bought the game fall into this category. There have been 104,000 sales, and with between 6,000 and 10,000 people playing multiplayer at a time, there are probably between 30,000 and 40,000 people who play online. I have been enjoying the gave, though I will say I have noticed a couple glitches, and the interface for changing axis controls does not make any sense.

This, if anything, was for us on consoles to save us from booting up our PS2s for those of us who still have them.

    Question, because I'm new to the games as a whole: Can you play the "space battle" games without being in Multiplayer? I'm a big fan of flight combat games (yes, I own Squadrons, as well as some of the others, and they are a lot of fun), and I'm looking to give it a go in Battlefront, as well.
    Also, the X-Box controller (I play on PC) is one I'm not fully comfortable with... the last console controller I really felt fit me was the N64 controller, but that controller didn't work with games that weren't on the N64. Most of the games I play are keyboard and mouse, or the N64 controller. I have an X-Box style controller, and I'm willing to learn it (hence why I played single player last night on Battlefront), but I also know it's going to take time.
    One more question: I also have a Flight Stick for games like Squadrons, will that work with Battlefront, or no?
    I do have the original versions of the Battlefront games, but I don't have many hours logged in them, because I only got a compatible controller about a year ago. The main game I play is Team Fortress Classic, which is a Keyboard and Mouse game, but I've been playing that game for over 20 years now.... so it's kinda ingrained in me.
    Thanks for any answers ahead of time!

      @@clonecommandermike332 Are you serious? Ok, just try something for me, I'm assuming you play "normal", so go start a game and flip it to inverted and see how much fun you have. Pretty awful, right? This is because you've trained your brain and muscles to accept that forward is up and back is down, and when you're controlling a game, a lot of the translation between your mind thinking "I want to move to go that way" and your hands moving the controller in the appropriate manner is done subconsciously via muscle memory, it's not something you actively think about. I've been playing games for 30 years, I started on space/flight sims with joysticks then went to shooters. My brain and muscles are trained to think forward is down, back is up, which is technically exactly how your muscles control your head movement, so don't tell me it's stupid or unnatural. Getting back to the subject, you can't just flip a switch on your brain and ignore your muscle memory, trying to play games with the controls set the opposite way is essentially trying to play the game while fighting your own brain, and all developers have to do to fix this is just have a code which says "reverse z-axis input". It's not complicated, it's simple quality of life that any fly-by-night game studio can manage, but not Aspyr, apparently.

    I still have the old PC version, which I go back and play fairly often. It runs great on my computer. Even before launch, this kinda seemed like a pretty steep price for what amounts to a slightly polished re-release. Plus, I don't think I even have enough space to install it.

      I know right???!! Like the game was *_LITERALLY_* already made for them!!! All they had to do was update textures, add DLC and bring back the online servers.
      These are things that mods have done already on the original games. In fact, the DLC mod for the original includes the exact files from the Xbox dlc because one of the original developers gave the files to the modder.
      So it's like, at this point, a few modders did better at remastering this game and adding these features. And those modders are just fans.
      HOW ON THE WORLD does a actual gaming company fail so much harder and make the game so much worse compared to just a few modders who love the game and are fans???? This is absolutely *_RIDICULOUS_* I mean seriously wtf???!!? At this point game companies need to just start hiring modders who love the games, because it seems like nobody else does and can't release a good game at all.

      ​@@liamcullen3035 yup, it is starting to look like a absolutely blatant scam cash grab. Because the modders on the originals did better at remastering the game. The original Bf2 had a texture update mod & DLC mod which added the exact same DLC files from Xbox that the old developers gave him.
      All these guys had to do was: keep the game how it is, update textures, port the Xbox dlc to other platforms, and add better controller support. (Though in my case on PC with a Xbox 360 controller, the OG BF2 already had controller support and could simply be turned on in the menu).
      I just do NOT understand how they could mess it up this bad when they LITERALLY had everything done for them already.
      They were simply tasked with a texture update (mod) and a DLC port. And still failed.

    In general this is just the corporate philosophy of the game industry now. Games don't need to be good or enjoyable anymore, they just need to be functional enough so that people can play them for a few days after buying them before quitting, which by then the companies will have their money and they can let the game slowly die before hyping up the next disappointment.
    And since these aren't new seasonal games, but rather re-releases of older titles, I doubt we'll get any real updates or changes. Saying that they fumbled the bag insinuates that they even tried, when it shows they clearly didn't.

    Beautiful. I knew this would happen. Battlefront 2 is on my top 5 games of all time but even going back and playing it on my PS2 years ago it never hit like it did during that era of gaming. It's a cash cow riding nostalgia and rose tinted glasses but I reckon once those refunds go through the devs will fix it. Somewhat. Then those refunds will be spent buying the game again and all will be forgotten. "But they fixed it bro". Love it.
    That being said I feel sorry for the younger gamers who were duped. I've been there with horror movies where I'd buy them, get home and watch them only to find they were scary FOR THE TIME and society and horror has moved on since 1976.

    I hopped on last night, and aside from battlefront 1 having so much latency that it looks like my blaster fire flies right through people, battlefront 2's multiplayer for me was completely non existent because when I tried searching for servers the game would crash trying to even SEARCH for servers. I'm on Xbox btw and I'm flabbergasted 😂
    Edit: just got done playing a match on BF1, hosted a geonosis match and it started out SUPER choppy, had to press buttons multiple times for them to register and my game was almost a complete slide show, BUT I hopped in a vehicle and the choppiness immediately went away, even when I died and respawned. To be super specific and see if this is a fix to the choppiness or sheer coincidence, I was playing as the droids and hopped in one of their fighters for the map, I was a super battle droid at the time, tried some droideka and switched back while still choppy, then got in the vehicle and choppiness went away. Let me know, anyone that sees this, especially Xbox players, I need to know if getting in any vehicle is a fix to choppy hosted servers. Please and thank you!

    • @nicklibby3784

      Yeah, these people honestly need to be sued. This is a blatant shame cash grab.
      The modders on the OG Battlefront 2 did a better job, we had a texture update mod and a Xbox dlc port mod, with the actual Xbox files that the old developers gave to the modders.
      The company who made the remaster Aspyr, had the EASIEST, SIMPLEST job:
      Update textures (basically a simple mod), port the DLC to other consoles (something literally every game with DLC does), and then bring back online, and keep the game how it was (no 100 ticket game limits that limit the game time to 2-3 minutes when we used to be able to go to like 500 or 1000 idek, I just remember playing 30min games all the time). Then all they had to do was update controller support for newer controllers.
      It is ridiculous they could fail so hard. I mean they did worse than modders who were just fans of the game and loved the game. Meanwhile Aspyr was getting paid BIG money to do this yet failed so badly.
      It I genuinely perplexing at how this stuff even happens. If this happened in any other industry it would be labeled as a blatant scam, cash grab.

    - "1 second remaining" respawn bug prevents you from spawning occasionally, only option is to quit
    - New matches don't start 90% of the time, especially if you press the "Done" button after a match
    - UI looks like dogshit, wrong font, not centered properly
    - Utility buttons on the bottom corners are text only
    - "Launch" button in server browser disappears after failing to join a server
    - Applying search options in the server browser crashes the game
    - "Online" is fully capitalized like "LAN" for some reason in the multiplayer selection menu
    - Auto turrets on the star destroyer have a visual bug where their barrels are extremely long before a match starts
    - Planet cloud textures move way too fast in space battles
