For clarity: In the first video, *the online modes couldn't be tested* because they hadn't come, well, online. I said this in the original video. Now that they've fully launched the multiplayer we can see how bad the servers are which is why I made this update video to alert people instead of pretending everything is fine. 99.9% of you guys understand this, but some seem to be struggling... lol
Matches offline are maybe 5 minutes long at that. It was never like that before hand. You canât even enjoy a match without the game ending and going to a new game.
â@tquestions I haven't had that experience on ps5, my issues either it are all solo play issues. MP has just been fine for me.
It definitely needs some serious network AND main game fixes. So far, I've had my immersion broken by AI not being as smart as it was on the original game, random crashes, noises glitching out and becoming bass boosted, noises playing with the wrong cues, lack of singleplayer post mission cutscenes (aswell as the cutscenes that are in are super compressed and lagged), BF1 being for the most part under worked on, glitched player models (mainly the rocket trooper), etc. Mp is fine for me now, my main issues are the solo play stuff which is honestly my biggest thing. If you fail offline play then you fail overall. I recently just compared the PS2 version and the ps5 version and tbh ps2 has the best experience for offline.
Iâm playing on ps5 and it is on instant action. Itâs pretty drastic compared to the originals
that is so sad wish this was not the case đđ i would wish this game would perform better â€
The biggest problem is you have 64 players in a match with only 100 tickets with no way to change it. That's not even 2 kills per player. The game ends before it even really begins. Have the devs even played the game?
Thank you man. This is my biggest problem, I was expecting server issues but it seems like they didnât even play test the game..
Yep...its short, my mind blow
It should be an obvious problem
YES OMG I WAS LIKE WHY IS THE GAME ONLY 5 MINUTES I WAS SOOOO CONFUSED
Itâs just lazy rerelease from Aspyr (just like Republic Commando and Racer). Slapped some AI upscaling without even compressing them and viola modern game!
Aspyr fumbling an easy win regarding a classic game launch? Impossible.
Why tf do these companies think its acceptable to take your money and then deliver a broken game?
Cus people pay
Because simply no one cares. People will buy it anyways
i refunded instantly
Like the others have said, people will buy it anyway. Take a look on the Steam Discussions prior to release or the Battlefront subreddit for example.
Because it just works!
100 tickets a game means games only last like 10 minutes at max which is absurdly short for this kind of game. You spend more time in the menus and connecting than playing.
More like 5 as it's less than 2 kills a person đ
Bro it loads within a secondđ
3 minutes.
@@jesterdewit478âŠmaybe you are lucky, but no, thats not true for all
Unless youâre in a tank I managed to get 15 kills no deaths on one game
7:30 I'm sorry, I'm not giving Aspyr this excuse. All they had to do was get 64 play testers in a lobby and they would have seen how atrocious the servers performed. This is negligence and incompetence to a huge degree.
Bruh there was probably like 6-8 dudes that made this in 6-8 months with maybe a few QA testers, I doubt it though.
Youâre entitled to your opinion but please do not engage in hate speech.
â@@Norcat10what tf are you talking about 12 year old

I can see why PlayStation pulled the plug for the KOTOR remake. They saw just how incompetent âAssâpyr really was.

â@@crimsonstormsurgeswbf3 won't happen for like another decade now...
Modern Gaming!
yep
mr review copy had no problem selling it to you
Anything that is an "update" of old games, wait a month. They're literally not worth the pain of dealing with them at launch. I know these two games were classic and amazing back in the day, but no company seems to release a remaster/updated version of a game in any capacity that matches the original. Which is pretty sad given the giant leap in technology of today.
Ya itâs ridiculous
The Galactic Contention mod for Squad is where the true SW developers are. hell if EA updated SWBF2 2017, added space and land battles on one map, upped the player count and called it SWBF3 they'd print money. Instead they went the cashgrab route as always.
It's a remaster not a remake, you can't change too much or it becomes a remake
@@jesse76th96why say EA? Dice made those decisions, not EA. EA only was involved with the shit microtransactions
What about resident evil 4
How hard is it to just release a game that works at launch
Especially when the game is already made
Especially when there's a PC port to work with but sounds like they just ported and slapped an overlay over the Xbox Version and up resed the textures to uncompressed 4k making the game file large for no reason.
Have you ever developed a game before? Thatâs what I thought.
ââ@@Norcat10We have not... The developers of nowadays videogames have though, and every new AAA Game is still the same broken piece of garbage so what's your point?
Are you a game developer? Perhaps you could share some insight â@@Norcat10
The fact you can play the OG games with community servers and they are more stable than the official rerelease.
Until they pull the OG games from digital stores, at which point this rerelease is your only option.
@@qu1253 Jokes on them, I still own the OG CD copy.
Is there really any reason to buy the collection if you already own the OG games? Stupid question, I know but I haven't figured out if the new collection is worth the price when I've already got the OG games.
@@CharlieTheSupersaurus It has native two players split screen and the Xbox Dlcs (which aren't even brand new, they took a mod and readapted it for this rerelease).
Everything else is a direct downgrade, especially the multiplayer and the game size (literally 50gb vs the 2gb of the original, how the hell did they even do that.
@@maboilaurence8227 Thanks for the quick summary. So far, doesn't seem enough they've done enough vs the OG versions to make me want to get it and you mentioned the rest is a direct downgrade.
People forgot this game is coming from the same people who had to announce the dlc for KOTOR2 wasnât coming out after announcing theyâd give it to fans and then put their games on sale as an apology not to mention some of their ports being super buggy AND shutting down their production of the KOTOR remake but our saving grace was another company picking it up shortly after, honestly I was hopeful but also not surprised this happened, people got too hyped and not trying to sound like an asshole for saying it either but ever since their announcement of this game no one seemed to have remembered the companies historyâŠ
âŠâŠâŠ.. Hereâs some periods to use next time please.
@@allyourbaseman thanks i thought i missed a couple
I remembered but decided to give them/starwars one last chance. They failed in epic fashion and I refunded this pos.
This is about servers, so it's a different problem, but I'll definitely be paying attention to how they follow up.
Campaigns are missing entire cutscenes! Altered lighting update has ruined the whole look of levels to the point of washed-out, gray-scale. Can't invert Y-axis on mouse or controller (Originals you can. This can thankfully be achieved with Steam Input's overlay). No crossplay (was advertised, but that advertisement has since been removed). Split-screen is now limited to 2-player (Originals had 4-player split screen on Xbox and via the official Multi-tap adapter for PS2). Textures, while sharper, are lazily just A.I. upscaled; and some aspects of the games (HUD/Main Menu) aren't even properly redone, they're simply left stretched from the original 4:3 aspect ratios. Online multiplayer is an abysmal mess.
Both the original SWBF1 and SWBF2 on Steam are ~11 GB combined. If you were to add the upscaled teztures mod for both the originals with widescreen patches, this brings the original games combined to only 18 GB. I am trying to wrap my head around where the other ~42 GB in this new re-release to make it nearly 60 GB is coming from!
I won't tell you how to spend your money; but I simply refuse to support this garbage. Even with Aspyr's reputation to drop the ball consistently, I foolishly still had my hopes up for this collection. Day ruined, man.
Models are upscaled too right?... Right??? Beacuse slapping 4k textures on low-poly models from original is just silly.
PS5 version released with Ventress straight up being the outdated version of the mod on moddb, which Aspyr said they only used for making the trailers. I think the switch version is the only one able to turn off inverted starfighter controls even though literally all versions of the original game had this option. A lot of texture and lighting issues. Some audio is weird sounding, like the BF1 loading screen sound, BF2 victory sound...
So many issues with this release I just don't know what they were thinking.
EDIT: Just remembered that all doorways in the capital ships in BF2 have a white cube in the middle of em. Shouldn't be there of course
Probably uncompressed assets, because modern devs dgaf about your drive space
I wanted to see how the launch would be since the online multiplayer is what I was looking forward to the most. Yeah, that wasn't just the right decision, that was dodging a bullet.
Damn was looking forward to this one Iâll give it a month maybe a price drop and grab it
Same here
itll be dead by then most likely tho
â@@bluevolt2014that's fine by me tbh
@@bluevolt2014if they fix all of these inexcusable issues then it probably wonât be. BIG âifâ tho
nah dont bother mate pirate it. It will be dead and you'll have more fun in singleplayer and I can tell you as someone who got BF2 on release for the PS2 it's not worth $5 in todays market. One of my top 5 games of all time sure but it had its time and place and now? Get it for free and have some fun in singleplayer
This is peak 'Bruh'
I was so excited for this. Glad I decided to wait to see what the launch was before buying it. But I hope they will fix it because I still do want to play it.
same, i still do want to play it, thank god i didnt memorize the release date. People should never preorder but i would go further, they should not buy anything on release.
reject the empire, reject the rebel, join the HellDivers, fight for Super Earth
This reminds me of the GTA collection
The sad thing is if this was how the trilogy was treated I would of liked it much more, Imo The defective edition was much worse, at least this wasnt being marketed as a remaster and more of a port, the trilogy made almost everything worse than the originals except for i guess the lighting and controls
Just shameful
From what I remember with the GTA collection it was outsourced to a company who then outsourced it and the team behind it didn't get a lot of the jokes like "tough nut" showing a hex nut and the team thought that was a pixel issue so they made the hex nut round like a washer. If anything thats an argument for companies to pay more to keep the work localized. Kinda like tech support issues you know?
I was willing to forgive some of the multiplayer problems because I primarily play singleplayer but when I learned that half of the cutscenes in the battlefront 2 campaign are missing thats a nope and a refund from me. Like how do you fuck that up
apart from massive layoffs throughout the industry, server capacity issues(unwillingness to put more money into it) seems to be the biggest problem for online games these days.
The launch last night was super bad online but I still had fun with single player and with the few online matches I was able to get into
No LAN on console is absolutely ridiculous
Glad someone did a video on this I debated on getting this at launch but then saw on x that something was up so decided not to but wasnât exactly sure of the issue
Doesnât surprise me that the multiplayer is broken. I hope they get it fixed. Not another Redfall game :/
Yesterday's video I was all like "Bro Ima get this"... glad I didn't yet.
I was playing hero assault and once I died I couldn't respawn, so I had to leave the lobby lol. A lot of players in the lobby had the same problem as well and left.
Other than the multiplayer issues, there are three other massive issues for me specific to the PC version:
1. Mouse input feels super wonky and off, likely due to this being a console port and the game trying to translate mouse input into analog stick input.
2. The UI and menus are terrible on PC with a mouse and keyboard. Again a side effect of porting the console version.
3. At ultrawide resolutions, the UI is super bugged. Certain parts (like the ammo counter) are stretched while others are not. Class select screen looks terrible. Feels like your actual view is just 16:9 cropped at the top and bottom.
From glazing to hating in record time
Never underestimate the ability of a major company to f*ck up a game that already existed.
On the switch surprisingly not too bad
This is really unfortunate. Idk how they fucked this up. This was my favorite childhood game. Thank you for covering this Luke
I got it on PS5 and I was able to get into a few games. My main issue with the game is that while the player count has increased, tickets have not. Games only last a few minutes.
1:10 When I played it last night, the exact moment it launched, the Xbox version had 6 official servers. It doesnât really improve much since it was all still laggy beyond belief, but this kind of makes me question how many people Aspyr actually thought would play this game.
I agree. I could understand if they thought it was going to be really niche, considering the games are 20 years old, but they could still see the pre-order numbers. Itâs genuinely baffling!
I played some this morning and there wasn't any lag maybe it was just because the game just released and there was max server load?
@@BootyWorm_v1 Doesnât change the fact that they only had a few servers to fit around 250 people only, along with Private Servers not working as intended.
@@BootyWorm_v1 it seems like it doing client side hosting, so if you live in a big city, the odds you find a near server is good, but it dependant on the host internet. For a 2024 game esp with 64 players this is unacceptable. They need to ramp up offical servers and not hope the community fills the gap.
Private, Client hosting is fine, but it's an extra and will always be more susectible to exploits, lag then if they hosted them at a Datacentre across all regions
Im not finding a single server on xbox, i hit refresh still nothing đ€·đŒââïž
Multiplayer for the old 2004 version on steam still works fine.
Who ever thought that the release of a game that was such a staple in my childhood would make me want to try the Other Battlefront 2 lmfao
I couldn't even load into my profile today on PS5. So there goes all the singleplayer progress I made.
I only got it for the single player and split screen having a plast bringing back memories
Within 15-30 minutes of release
(9 PM PST which was midnight for EST)
They sent about 2 to 3 updates
2 short ones and the 3rd one was an update of 20-30gb
Didn't get it for multi-player. Got it for Galactic Conquest. So I'm good.
even then you paid too much when it was on steam for free. On top of that I'd still sail the seas for a 20 year old game for one feature
â@@velvetinedrapes4359Not everyone plays on PC, you couldn't get the original on newer consoles only older consoles
@@luckymark571 Yeah I still have my PS2 copies AND my PS2 and I'm going to be real with you bro. Straight up gods honest truth, I still remember the day I got Battlefront 2 on release with my friends after school and Battlefront 2 is in my top 5 games of ALL time. Always will be. But its not worth all this effort. Save your money mate. Don't bother. Even the 2 games in 1 is a scam cause there is ZERO reason to have 1 in your library when you have 2
â@@velvetinedrapes4359I mean I Understand your opinion and I Agree with it to a certain point the Main issue is that us console Players can't just buy the old
Version since they never released It for modern consoles and my ps2 Is broken plus my copy of the og Battlefront 2 is scratched to hell Not to mention I don't have enough
Money to buy a pc for gaming so we literally have to buy this version if we want any of the nostalgia we had from our childhood. besides i grew up playing bf2 offline so I'm
Still going to buy it since the single Player is actually polished also Because I don't have any other Affordable option.
Honestly if I wanna just play singleplayer stuff I might as well go play the Original, its cheaper too now on steam!
seeing that rubberbanding i have the feeling they didn't adjust their server scripts to tick for the new framerate
How do you fuck up games that are already two decades old?
I noticed my version i purchased yrs ago was changed to classic when battle front 2 (new one) released cant believe its this bad :(
Playing GC right now. Amazing
I'm having an issue with splitscreen on the Switch version: it just says "Please Insert Controller" for player 2, even when I have two controllers paired to the console. Does anyone know why this is? Do both players need to have a Nintendo Online account even for offlline splitscreen play? It's breaking my heart since the whole reason I bought this game was to introduce my friends to classic Battlefront.
Seems like they literally just throw you onto the same old, stuttery, unsupported servers from the old games. Cuz that's exactly how the 2005 servers perform.
Do you plan on playing the single player start to finish
Nostalgia Bait and yall went with it đ even my mate did straight after playing he asked how to refund to get Helldivers 2 đ
I was playing a little bit last night after a vigor and black ops 2 session and was laughing at matches lasting a grand total of 4 minutes. I played both games on the xbox in the mid-2000s and remember more long and exciting matches.
Question for anyone who's tried Split-Screen on this: Is Player 1's half of the screen noticably darker than Player 2's half? Because that's what happened on my PS5 earlier tonight.
Did anybody think this wasn't going to be a train wreck to start? That's how things work nowadays
Well with games nowadays are always having to be patched on day one of release. Itâs been a standard for a long time. Itâs getting old to say the least.
well its not like its a new game so most people would expect something
Nope I knew they'd mess it up. It's just the way. I try not to be a rotten person but I couldn't help giggle reading the comments before release. So full of hope. Personally I don't get the hype. I had both games, I got 2 on release. Played it endlessly and loved it. Never played online. That being said why would I wanna spend $35 to play a 20 year old game that I have fond memories of? So some sweaties online can tank me and ruin the experience? Thankfully my folks kept the old consoles and games so I can replay them and realise its nostalgia goggles at work.
Battlefront 2 from DICE be poppin off right now! Just played each trilogy for conquest with full lobbies on Xbox series X. I love OG battlefront bought it when it dropped as a kid but this is so sad to see. Waiting for patches to buy đŻ
Honestly didn't even get as far as playing an online match because I couldn't finish the tutorial without inverted aiming.
10:44 "Muk, Grimer's evolved form. Use extreme caution, as its slimy form contains poison."
Got this on PS5, and there is no option in the menus to invert the Y axis. I know it's not everyone's cup of tea, but for me, I can't play it with the default settings. Really a bummer.
Is there the offline LAN option on consoles as well like in the originals or is it just on PC?
People didnât see this coming? đđđ
Companies think that these older games aren't worth it and that nobody plays them but almost every game has some cult following of adults wanting to relive the experience.
I believe that this is the Age of Remasters, the perfect time for Older games to be remade with great graphics and even changed a bit to make them perfect.
Capcom has the right idea! đĄ
The thing is custom servers are available to remedy this, also for people who have not got this collection yet and seen the video they have got more servers at least for xbox
Refunding until it's fixed, if it's not fixed soon I'm not buying it again. By soon I mean a week or less.
I tried multiplayer last night and my game would crash ,lag freeze at 1 during the respawn countdown .today I played solo game of conquest and all the audio cut out and had to restart application then tried online game and the screen turned green and the game actually turned off my playstation on its own
Damn... Thank god aspyr kotor remake was put on hold
My big thing is look inversion. I play inverted and for the original games to have that feature but the re-release doesnt is super annoying. My experience with the multiplayer was that I shot an AI rebel in the back 20 times and 2 registered. Waiting on the quality of life updates that hopefully come in the next 24 hours.
If not then i made sure to play less than 1 hour in case of a refund situation.
Looks like Aspyr choked on their aspirations (like Director Krennic)
My friend bought it for us to play and he's always been an only inverted player, thus cannot play it.
Im on xbox and trying to play the 2nd one and nothing comes up press refresh still nothing can anyone help?
as someone who works in the server business, it's literally takes them minutes to increase capacity, it just a cost issue, which as it's a MP game , should already be accounted for esp as they knew demand based on wishlists and pre sales
noone plays 'multiplayer' in 2024
@@eggruns2370and where is the data for this claim?
Is it only broken for PC? It seems to work fine on Xbox I played on two separate servers and didn't have any lag
Aspyr seemed to have rushed re-releasing this game and didn't quite finishing squashing the existing bugs before release.
I consider myself lucky because the game runs like a charm for me. Even the multiplayer. I have a stable 250fps. I wish they would fix all the issues others have. My only complaints are:
- The lack of invert Y axis option
- Buggy audio. Some are slowed down, pitched down, delayed... etc.
- The 62 fucking gigabyte space it needs. That is the same as Elden Ring and more than the Witcher 3 for comparison.
Couldâve sworn they used to have invert
Just lazy. They used AI to up res the 480p textures and just left them raw and uncompressed to make the game file size 6X larger than it needs to be. Just embarrassing.
You dont think 100 tickets per team in official multiplayer servers is a problem?
I bought the game for single player couse thatâs what I did as a kid was play that. Instant action and the campaign was all I played. Iâve had fun playing instant action but until they fix the cutscene problem Iâm not playing the campaign.
Was looking for a comment who said it but I didnât see one. They only had like 6-9 official severs listed for BF1 and BF2. (Didnât go back and count them) The rest all look like hosted matches that you could join. which explains why there were only two people playing on most. Someone hosting to play with a friend or two. So there still arenât a lot of official servers but they doubled the amount or more so thereâs that lol.
Glad you posted a follow-up video unlike The Act Man and his Payday 3 video.
how can u fuck up a cheap re-release
I haven't bought a AAA game in a decade and I could never be happier.
The latest game I bought was RDR on sale and for me it was worth it. But looking at these flops again and again I can't help but feel gaming has become very masochistic. Throwing money at games and defending companies who see you as no more than a cash cow or a paypig is quite a sight. Everyone says "Well what about Helldivers 2?" which shows they can only list 1 game that exceeds the standard. I love it
There is no way to host your own server?
Played it with my buddy the hour it launched and almost immediately realized they fucked it up. By played it, I mean couldn't play it at all together.
My issue is that there are basically no options for bf1 on pc.
such a shame, will kick the wind out of its sails in a way it wont recover unlike how Helldivers did.
You can still play the game offline with bots, thatâs how itâs supposed to be played anyways.
100 tickets, no aim assist on console, horrible connection, and I noticed some weird textures like storm troopers looking greyish at mos eisly
Until aiming and online servers are fixed, Iâll just stick to OG ones via backwards compatibility on Xbox
Oh yeah thats right, i own those. Are servers online for those ones? Or only on the new collection?
There are no servers up and running for battlefront 2 on the series x
Gamers get what they deserve. Keep preordering, keep buying the second a game launches. I'm sure things will change someday if everyone keeps doing it.
Fortunately, all the good memories I have of the classic Battlefront games consist of the single player content; I never really got into the online multiplayer side of it and will purchase the classic collection purely for the single player modes. Knowing that the online gameplay is broken just saves me the trouble of testing it myself.
You going to make a video about sweetbaby inc?
tbh they probably thought (and rightfully so) that the pull for this would die off by like 95% after the first week of nostalgia dies down, but I dunno why they didn't just hire a bunch of servers on a weekly basis and then cull them as the usercount dies.
Was there issues for the ps5 or is this just on steam
There were 8 dedicated servers on BF2 last night.
No issues with lag or hit reg or anything, everyone is just copy-pasting the 1st hour issues.
Good job Helldivers.
Sabotage mission accomplished.
If there are wars in stars those belong to super earth. For Glory!
Wow...throwback to when you could actually run a game server...
This game makes me wanna play the Quake re-releases instead
i pre-order nothing now. all you get is tears
For the most part, I'm okay with it. I basically just wanted to play Single player anyway.
But I do wanna play outline with a couple of My Buddies
They probably host these on AWS so they can spin up servers in very quickly
Inverted controls for the space battles is a crime
sadly in the story mode half of the cutscenes are missing
Why donât I have an option to upgrade my characters?
I am almost happy aspyr never made that KOTOR Remake.
