The very fact of having hero assault available on each map now alone makes it worth it for me.
I will be playing on Kamino, Rhen Var, Utapau, Polis Masa, and Mustafar on repeat.
Bro, every "new" feature can be easily modded into original games
@@russianoverkill3715A lot of people don’t play on PC. There’s no need to gatekeep many others from playing these classics with features they’ve never used before.
@@tdoran616 I can understand releasing this game for other platforms, but not with THAT cost, it's a scam at this point.
I played HvV all the time even with bots it was still very fun
This just feels like such a wholesome release to me, it’s two beloved games coming back and the community at large seems to be very positive about its release, no negativity in sight. I really hope the player base stays consistent because I can see this collection being my go to game now.
I want to like your comment, but if I do it won't be at 66 anymore. It'll be 67.
And we know how important and meaningful the number 66 is in Star Wars 😊
It's literally an AI upscale that raises the size to ~50GB + doesn't have crossplay and uses outdated mods as restored content. Not wholesome
@@Bahrtuk YOU'RE not wholesome! 🥺
@@Bahrtuk dude… there comes a time in everyone’s life where they need to be grateful for what’s given to them, nothings perfect, nothing will ever BE perfect, so please with all due respect, shut the hell up and let people enjoy something.
@@Bahrtuk it does NOT use any mods, stop spreading misinformation
I’m most excited for it being on Switch. Being able to take my childhood with me whenever I’m traveling is a godsend
bless the steamdeck as well
@@NoahbudoaBeyond hyped to mod the living crap outta this game on the steam deck. It's doable on the original BF2 but definitely finicky.
Yeah. I know that Battlefront II was also on PSP, but like you’d expect, that was a watered-down port due to the hardware limitations. So it’ll be nice to have the complete Battlefront II experience on the go, and with the first Battlefront added for good measure.
I been playing it on steamdeck with mods lol. Would be awesome if this new collection is friendly with the mod community on pc, will absolutely help with the lifespan of this game on pc.
@@grannytoes7221I really hope it gets Steam Workshop support. I can't imagine how easy and huge it would be if that ever happens. It's not completely impossible to expect either since they did the same thing with KOTOR II. They didn't do it for KOTOR 1 and Jedi Academy but I'm guessing they didn't do it for those because Lucasfilm would be competing against themselves with the remake and Jedi Fallen Order series of games respectively. If nothing else, the Steam version being the only place to get a legacy sale and it already being Steam Deck verified before the game is released gives me hope. When and if they would actually do it though is the question.
The online part is what makes it worth for me
Playing the game of my childhood with 63 other people
I can just imagine fighting on bespin platforms on those corridors
Same, everything else is just a scam
That bridge is killer lol
Corusant!
You'll have more fun on this game for $30 then the next COD for $70
i agree😂
Who has fun playing cod
as someone without a pc and has never played it i think this is without a doubt worth it. especially with 64 player game modes
These are the two greatest games I've ever played in my life, so to have them in a new, crisp restoration with 64 player battles and all those extra features we wanted but didn't get back in the day, I'd say yes it is worth it 😊
I just hope it launches correctly and we don't have a repeat of what happened with EAfront 2 🤞
I had Battlefront 2 for the PS2, and I literally played it as a kid until the disk became too scratched up and stopped working. I look forward to enjoying the nostalgia, but also new experiences with Battlefront 1
Awww your Kirby profile it's very cute
I was obsessed with this game (bf2)back in the day. Every day after school I’d come home, watch toonami and then play galactic conquest for hours and when that got boring I’d do the story mode and instant battles and when that was boring I’d go back to galactic conquest and on and on for that whole school year.
Never even touched multiplayer, so this will definitely be worth it for me.
Long answer: yes
Short answer: *YES*
are you sure about that? lmao
@@Irrelavant__ yeah it’s literally the same two games but more money and more storage taken up
Yes. I was willing to pay 40
Pre Oder on switch 🥵
It’s like 31 bucks before the 14th. 2 games with online multiplayer for not even 40 bucks is absolutely worth it
@@Twocoolman115 for a few months of MP population and then it dies off. Take this rerelease for exactly what it is, a cash grab on nostalgia
@@brandonahrens Lots to unpack there. I take it you have no friends in RL and throw that zinger to betray your own inadequacies. Got ahead and throw money at disney cause their product is consistently solid 😆
@@Teh_Goatit's Aspyer not disney making this.
been a while since you popped up in my recommended! honestly i have my ps2 copy and steam copy of it, and im still repurchasing it for ps5, the online multiplayer is something im excited to experience for the first time!
64 player matches are going to be intense
This is a shut up and take my money situation for me.
Same! I pre-ordered as soon as I saw that they were adding new characters in I pre-ordered as soon as I saw that they were adding new characters in servers are activated. Hearing that hero mode is available on all maps now is a definite selling point.
So what did we learn? That's right; never pre-order!
@@Mulberry5 Yep. This is exactly why not to pre-order.
I still play both games on the ps2. I mean sure the internet servers are not available and never will... I mean the newer consoles can be a hit and miss for me because I'm more of a nostalgic person when it comes to gaming consoles battlefront one and two because that's what I grew up with... some of the new games nowadays in newer consoles can be a good thing it just depends on my mood for them because it's just not the same nostalgia memories growing up you know... but I never played Counterstrike sorry Greedo I didn't play it but I've heard about it but just didn't had the time to play it because I played games like Wizard 101 and good ol Miniclip before they got rid of most of the games that was on the site... AHHH!!! I'm still infuriated by that...
But yea early to mid-2000s were wild man!
But I see this as a good thing for younger Star Wars fans to experience the nostalgia that we grew up with... I think they'll find the battlefront 2 "Rise of The Empire" campaign interesting and it's my favorite campaigns in video games of all time... (sorry if I'm editing but this game is if not the greatest game of all time!!!!) but also see how the Empire still uses the clones for the 501st best known as "Vader's Fist". Which by the way is my favorite part of the game because that's what I believe the Empire uses clones for the Empire because how old they were getting during the empire missions rather than recruiting average nobody's on the streets in the Star Wars canon timeline....
LOOKING AT YOU DISNEY!!!
My favorite campaign missions are Knightfall (Order 66) and the very first empire mission on Naboo to eliminate the queen of Naboo but my favorite one that tops it all is fighting the clone army in Kamino getting a clone DNA sample from the cloning facility in Kamino but also including fighting the CIS on Mustafar as the Empire eliminating what's left of the CIS and how they "never seem to get the message" to destroy the schematics of a new CIS prototype droid for the CIS and the Mustafar mining facility will might give the younger generation a good shock in their lifetimes as Star Wars fans playing that mission in the campaign... and we're finishing what Vader started he failed to tell the CIS to shut down the droids that's phenomenal bizarre if you ask me he failed his mission and your job is to clean up the mess that he forgot to clean so I guess that makes it like maids... but I see this an eye opener experience for the younger fans and they're gonna LOVE IT!
These two missions in my opinion are the most intense and intriguing missions in the game but also makes you wonder so much during the campaign as you progress through...
The final mission on Hoth is really great and sure you have 20 minutes before the last Rebel transport will launch which seems like a lot of time but you really have to act really fast and use strategic positioning and that mission sets my teeth to the very edge...
It also surprises me you only play Vader only three times in the campaign...
Hey Greedo heads up! You might wanna do "Return of The Retro" series again at some point while playing these games... JUST SAYIN'!
Also as a wise clone once said...
"Good Soldiers follow orders..."
Also more stable main menu navigation 😅. The main menu for me at least was never stable and I always had to hit the X button at the right time to navigate into the different options cause for some reason the PS2 couldn't handle the film scenes in the background while flicking through the options in the menu. Once I got setup into a game though it was always so much fun especially galactic conquest absolutely adored that game mode
@@GunsNwars1997That's definitely not normal. You either have messed up disc or your PS2 unfortunately is on its last legs, if that wasn't always an issue. You may want to look into getting a new copy if that's the case, unless it just doesn't bother you at this point lol
@grannytoes7221 it was the only game it did it for every other game is fine. This was back around the time the game came out as well and i think the playstation was probably a few years old
Back when the empire wasn’t a complete laughing stock and made solely for jokes.
@@israelhernandez5431the empire was always a laughing stock, they have been missing shots since 1977
It is for me. 2004 Battlefront is one of my favorite games of all time. Never got to experience it in it's glory days. I still play through Xbox backwards compatibility to this day.
I already bought it and I hadn’t even thought about the online multiplayer aspect of it. I’m gonna have to try it out
I won’t just get my nostalgia fix and move on. The best part about this is that it’s a port to all modern consoles, it’s a fantastic game that will be playable at all times. I’d love to be able to hop on after work or on my day off and just play.
I remember saving up my mowing the lawn money back in 2005 and buying battlefront 2 the day it came out, i played it nearly everday for years, was the greatest game i had ever played at the time
The only thing that could convince me to pay that much for the games i already own is coop Campaign and Galactic Conquest. Add those in, and my friends and I will play for months.
Sounds like you won’t be playing lol
Pretty sure galactic conquest can be played online in this collection. And the campaign is honestly and truthfully dogshit anyways so who cares…. I knew the campaign sucked when I was 8, was still my favourite game ever. Instant action bots all day lmao
The original had cool campaign and this has split screen. Not sure why it wouldn't have both modes wouldn't have Coop in the revamp. They might even add it for online coop campaign. If you're gonna revamp it for modern day you should add all those modern features plus if you have a PC I'm guessing there would be a work around.
@@jerads.7160 Wrong on both accounts. There will be no online GQ, and the campaign is one of the best ever made.
You can easily play coop campaign, look up guides for it
Absolutely worth it. You spend 40 bucks by accident when you go out to eat.
I'm psyched for it. I still have my original PS2 copy but I'm hyped to be able to play online and have access to the DLC heroes and maps I missed out on from the XBOX version.
Your narration is so great
Wow you made this video really quick considering the launch trailer footage you used just released a couple hours ago
I played these games all the time on my PS2 back in the day. It’ll be great to do it again on my Switch.
this collection and new Contra will keep my gaming time for some time to come
The player base, the controller support (on pc) and the new heros are what makes it worth it for me
Downloaded battlefront 2 on my Xbox One S and played it with my son. Would definitely look forward to playing this with him again
If it ever gets Steam Workshop support for more people like me to use mods on something such as a Steam Deck then it will be a 110% recommendation. Not only would it bring forth stuff like restored content, new content in general based on other stories, and more optimizations made by the community, but it would also be able to give us total conversions like Battlefront III Legacy. Can you imagine how *huge* of a deal that would be? Aspyr wouldn't even have to ask anyone to make an OG Battlefront III when fans are already trying to do it for them. It's far from impossible to do since they also retroactively added mod and Steam Workshop support for KOTOR II. Granted they mainly did that because they planned to release a restored content DLC for consoles, but even with consent from both sides it never happened, likely because of Lucasfilm and Disney. Empire at War also has a Steam Workshop and the community is way bigger because of it. For context, I can't even figure out a way on how to mod Lego Star Wars The Complete Saga since quickbms refuses to work, and that's a much simpler game. Yes it's unfortunate that KOTOR 1 and Jedi Academy also don't have Workshop support, but that's likely because they'd be competing against themselves with the remake and the Jedi Fallen Order series respectively. Battlefront has no such conflicts anymore since an EA Battlefront III isn't going to be made and that they stopped support for their II 5 years ago.
Whether they will one day add such a thing to the Steam version of the game or not remains to be seen. If nothing else, the Steam version being the only one to have a legacy discount and Steam Deck verification before it gets released makes me hopeful. More so than ever getting crossplay support in the future anyways, although that technically isn't impossible either as long as it's successful and still has lots of active players requesting for it in the long run.
EDIT: I tried the game. They somehow butchered it so badly, even with the single player aspects. *I want to cry.*
When I was a kid, I didn’t have online for my PS2. I also was missing all of the content (that I didn’t even know existed) from the other platforms.
I still own Battlefront 2, but the hero assault and online alone (even before added DLC) makes it very much worth it. I also remember never owning the 1st game, but playing the demo very often. My only concern is that no one plays the online for BF1 and skips to BF2.
Im glad its being released, the young ones need to know what the experience felt like. I dont plan to get it though, because my psp hacked version has a lot of new content or crossed over maps for me to instant action through. The coder did an amazing job making the clones aesthetically match the battlefield on all classes. And the new vehicles. Another hack for old republic released also, but i need a patch first. If i was doing pc, id be stuck doing all the mods
This collection would have been well worth it (to me) on three fronts:
- They improved the AI scripting/coding in tandem with engine update
- They fixed up the sound effects (the AT-ST, AT-TE, AT-AT, "Jedi Starfighter" interceptor, Y-Wing, A-Wing, and LAAT all desperately need corrected sound effects for their weapons). Same goes for some of the infantry weapons in BF2.
- They included a revived/'remastered' or even outright recreated edition of both PSP Battlefront titles (Renegade Squadron and Elite Squadron) with modern QoL and dual-analog support.
As it stands, none of those three things seem to be addressed, and, if anything, some issues with the AI are worsened (some literally stand around doing nothing in weird spots); on top of new graphical/audio issues such as the movie clip cutscenes in BF1's campaigns having horrid stutter half the time, blaster fire visually not being in sync with the sound effect (i.e. Sometimes I'll fire a shot and it'll be silent; fire another then both sound effects the shots play back to back instantly), or the BF1 loading sequence (aside from the god-awful sound effect change for it they did for whatever reason) literally borking and doing the focus/pan-in halfway off the viewable screen.
@hellogreedo to answer your question about the textures, they were upscale to a higher resolution, but not redone
they need to do this for the first 5 need for speed games as well, high resolution and native compatibility with modern systems, they were such good games!! I had to hack my pc 50 ways to Sunday to get them running at all
I've not seen one piece of text in any commercial that confirms that it's remastered, just that it's back. The original disk for the Xbox game of Battlefront II still works with the current Xbox Series X and you can also buy a digital copy that I think has better graphics but with this, I'm not sure they'll be any other differences other than the servers and achievements?
Well, there's also the DLC maps and heroes included, but that's kinda meaningless on PC, cause there are millions of mods adding that and more for free anyway. Aside from that... not much else. Unless you count the absurd file size.
The collection will be objectively superior to the current Xbox versions.
Outside of online servers, it will have
1.32vs32 player and bot battles which is simply better then the current 16vs16 on Xbox.
2.Better Textures and resolution
3.XL mode which originally was PC exclusive, this mode is essentially 100+ bots in a battle on big maps, for context I did a Hoth XL match on my PC the other day and counted 120 bots per team via leaderboard... This will now be on consoles.
4.Heroes Vs Villians on all maps now
5.For PlayStation and Switch users we get all that PLUS the original Xbox exclusive content for the first time so...
Yes It's worth Buying the collection over Keeping the Xbox backwards compatible version as it's just objectively a superior product as we are getting essentially the PC version without mods on console. Now on PC the only advantage is the online servers tbh as they already currently have everything else this collection is offering and more via mods
@@TSF_Ukraineread my first comment alot more then just servers and achievements for the console players.
Heroes Vs Villians on all maps,XL mode and 32vs32 alone is better then what's on console currently.
PC tho yea I don't see a reason to fork the money over
@@firefistgaming117I know 64 online players has been confirmed but do you know for sure that's been confirmed for offline bots?
Because every information I've found on this seems to suggest that 64 players is ONLY for online play. And do we at all know if the XL mode is going to be available on all consoles? Because they made it seem like it's only going to be on pc and playstation.
@@firefistgaming117 Yep, my comment was primarily aimed at PC users. For consoles, it makes more sense, but on PC - not so much. At least not at this price.
Never been into Star Wars games but I’ll be playing BF2 next week when it comes out. Can’t wait, looks fun.
Feels more like a modified re-release than a remaster. But the several new maps and hero assault, along with official servers again seems worth it.
As a PC player, having local splitscreen back is a no brainer
Im definitely getting it. Cant wait to fight for the Republic!
I still have my original PlayStation 2 copies of Battlefront (2004) & Battlefront II (2005) + I have a working PlayStation 2.
I'm definitely interested in getting the Classic Collection, primarily for the extra levels & characters + I definitely wanna give the online play a try.
I missed out on PlayStation 2 online, because we were still on dial up internet during its prime 😄.
This'll give me another opportunity to try the 2 games online.
For those who only play Nintendo consoles, it sucks that they've missed out on every Battlefront game (except for Elite Squadron on Nintendo DS) in both the original & reboot series, but having the first 2 games on Nintendo Switch will give them the experience for what Nintendo GameCube owners missed out on.
I’ve already pre-ordered this for the Switch. I still have my original Xbox copies and my 360, but being able to play these games anywhere was a no brainer.
I also feel like even if the online player base dies down for this collection, the original Battlefront games have more going for them in terms of offline play compared to the newer games.
I am buying this on the switch and ps5. The classic battlefronts are finally on those platforms and the switch in particular i think is perfect for these games. And its also my favorite platform to play games on too.
The classic bf2 also was a massive part of my childhood and have a lot of memories of it. Plus i funally get to experience the xbox dlc and multiplayer.
So it is more then worth it getting these games again
First time ragdolling over the dune sea was a joy for me
I'm getting the Classic Collection on my Switch because that way I can play it wherever I go, I missed having all the portable Battlefronts on my PSP which sadly died a few years ago, RIP
Now I'm feeling very weird because I remember very specifically.That java's palace was also available on Playstation two as well
I had this in my childhood it's worth it to try again
One thing I hope it has is online stability. If you've played BF2 2005 online before you know how jittery all the other player movements are.
If it was perfect, it would have crossplay, Steam Workshop support, online galactic conquest, and online campaign.
My mom was saying that they can migrate it to a cross platform network even after it's been deployed. So that's encouraging.
The answer is and easy yes.
This is a dream come true situation.
I will gladly support in hopes that this happens with more game's like this that I love.
I will absolutely be buying this, played the hell out of 2 on the PS2 with my brother back in the day, never tried online before and never played the first game either, so this is an instant buy. If you are able to play galactic conquest online with friends then this will be automatically the best game ever
So worth it. Brace yourself for Heroes vs Villains online, it’s gonna be intense
Yes. It was a little over $40 here in New Zealand. I've pre ordered and pre installed already on Xbox series x and ready for them to flip the switch on day one.
This was my favorite game as a kid I can’t wait to play the remastered I pre ordered on xbox
A lot of people seem to miss that 64 player online was native to battlefront 2 og. Battlefront 1 only supported 32, so 1 supporting 64 is actually a pretty big deal.
50 gig install size is pretty questionable to me, but, despite these two games being on steam literally for years, I'm def going to support this release, if only so ASPYR or whoever else is doing these types of remasters, can port other collections, like Rogue Squadron (a pipe dream for sure), or even games like the Episode 3 movie tie in or Star Wars The Clone Wars.
Safe to say in a sea of terrible modern star wars games, the big classics are still there for sure.
My friend and I both own it on PC but we're gonna get it on Switch because we're going at it with split screen, a 12 pack of soda, chips, and just good vibes.
Less than a week to go!! Can't wait!
I'll be playing on xbox. Can't wait to jump back into it
I'm just really hoping that the modding scene continues to grow with these games
If you're on PC, the only reason to buy this collection is to support the Battlefront name. All these "new" features are all available for free with a few clicks on PC, and even more. The textures are very slightly enhanced, but nowhere *near* commonly used mods that up the detail a whole generation.
I never played the originals but loved the ea games and am missing new battlefront so I will definitely be giving it a go
I wonder if they will make it so you can talk to teammates with a mic since back on the ps2, I believe you could!🎉
I'll say this, I have the original five feet from me. I can pick up Battlefront whenever I want and to be honest me and the youngest were playing it maybe 6 months ago.
I literally could play the first Battlefront by myself and I'd be happy with just bot play. So you bet your sweet ass I'm getting this on launch.
It's been 20 years since those days. Most people don't remember that Battlefront front was probably the first game to really get it perfect with online play. The early days of playing online on a ps2. It was this and Mortal Kombat Deception for me.
It’ll be fun. Definitely not paying $30 but I’ll get it in a few months/ years on sale for sure
Yeah it’s worth it considering the original battlefronts haven’t officially been released on any PlayStation console in 20 years.
I play BFII on PC with mods, online & more.
Did I buy it again on PS5? Heck yes. I first played these games when they came out & I was a kid - so it feels *right* to play it again on a console.
This is my childhood…definitely worth it
Can't wait for this!! I used to play the original games back in early 2000's on xbox, and was pretty good at the game. Probably won't be as good now as I'm old as f**k!! 😂 But really looking forward to playing this on ps5 👍
I'm so excited!
I’m willing to pay for $31.49 on these AMAZING games! I have PS Plus, and when I pre-order it five days from now, it’s DEFINITELY WORTH IT! Also, to see BOTH of these games run on the glorious 60FPS AND 4K with the PS5’s capability! Plus, I’ve NEVER played the first original Star Wars Battlefront, but I have played a LOT of the second one.
Going to be interesting to see if it's faster game play and better graphics than the original textures
I'm looking forward to Platforms with you fine folks. The dogfights going on above us groud troops are gonna be wild with actual people piloting.
Grew up playing both, been playing Galactic Conquest ever since. I hope the increased player size applies to bots as well.
look, as an old school fan of these games since I was a kid.
and I say on good authority.
YES!
I have Battlefront Classic Collection pre ordered and downloaded on my Nintendo Switch it takes up 25GB which is double what it takes for the original versions of 1 and 2 on PC so they likely changed things that take up more space maybe graphics? The textures do appear higher resolution in the video and screenshots.
With extra characters like Kit Fisto and Ventress which I’ve never got to experience and new maps I’ve never played plus the 64 player multiplayer yeah to me it’s well worth it.
One thing not mentioned in this video (though I don’t blame you, as a PC player) is that for Playstation 4 and 5 users the games are unavailable in any other capacity. No backwards compatibility for PS2 discs and they aren’t in the online store. So for us, it’s this or nothing.
I can't wait to see how chaotic Polis Massa can get with twice as many players!
If these games still have instant action, it'll be worth every penny. I've spent so many hours playing on my ps2 against bots when I was younger. I'll get my nostalgia regardless of if the servers are up or not.
I mean, unless you have a pc or xbox, you don’t have access to these games. They weren’t available on modern PlayStation consoles before this release.
3:20 I heard somewhere that they've upscaled textures with AI, somewhere is sometimes an unreliable source tho
i think its a safe bet given the over 50gb file size, that's far larger than the 3 and 4 gb file sizes of the original game.
Galactic Conquest is still one of the best game modes in any game ever. If they have it online, that would be insane.
Honestly, yes. I own the original release version on Steam. I just genuinely think even the extra eye candy makes it a little better, however I wish they would make A.I. just smarter and make them challenging lol. Bigger maps with way more vehicles should be a thing and if not, hopefully they allow mods
This is made for those who haven't played. Even me.
As long as they allow multiple dark mauls to be in the field like the old version ill be happy in heros v villians
I was 7 and 8 when 1 & 2 came out. I own them both on Xbox via backwards compatibility & Steam. Then I preordered it on PS and Switch. These imperfect games hold a very special place in my heart. When it was announced to be coming back with the multiplayer; I fanboyed. THIS is what Star Wars Battlefront is.
All I want is online galactic conquest…
I was two when BF2 (2005) came out. I'm excited to experience this as someone who never got to during its peak. See you on the front. 🙌🏿
I already have them on Xbox. I’ll probably buy the Switch version on Star Wars Day. Having them on a handheld might be enough to satisfy my nostalgia for the PSP games.
I will say the only reason I am re buying it is for me to have it on a platform I have never owned it on and online.
You should do a review when it comes out and critique it as someone would a new game. Well, not “you should do” but “what might be cool” might be the better way to phrase it.
These days, games get a lot of updates, but I don’t remember that being common back then. I wonder if they are just gonna say “here it is” when they rerelease it, of if they’ll be changing and tweaking things like they all do these days.
For PC players at least (I own them on PC already so I'm getting these on switch for now but this point should still stand regardless) the biggest thing this port is going to bring to the table is longer term windows compatibility. Over time games get a little fucky with windows updates but this will ensure that there won't need to be weird workarounds for the average person to get these games to work. The other major thing is exposing the kids of former battlefront and battlefront 2 players to these games on their current consoles. A kid might not play this on their dads old PS2 or Xbox, but a little prettier on their Switch, they might give it a try. Hopefully generating a new generation of people to enjoy these excellent video games and maybe (and this is absolutely wishful thinking) pushing a future developer of a battlefront game to examine what made these games so much fun and make a true Battlefront 3 that we've been waiting for since 2005
Hopefully the controls are better and smoother.
I have them for free from Xbox live gold, I’m not sure I want it yet
If they up the engines max fps to 120, and add ultra wide support then it's worth it to me, they are also making it 64bit which can open doors to really epic mods.
Have you played the Galactic Contention mod for Squad?
Now I NEED A SOCOM 1 2 AND 3 COLLECTION REMASTER
The KoTOR games, the DF/Jedi Knight series, and the original Battlefront games were the pinnacle of Star Wars gaming.
Being able to go back to the Naboo plains makes it worth it to me. See you all there brothers.
I do find it a good thing without cross play because I always run into hackers and anymore I keep cross play off.
I think its worth it, just for the fact that I never had played this by online multiplayer back in the day only solo & couch co op. 32 v 32 will be insane.
Pre order it de moment i found out about it. Hope cross play will be introduced later. Im on pc but a lot of my friends are on PlayStation
Still cant decide what platform to purchase on... Which server population be higher? Xbox or PC?
Already preordered it for pc since there was a discount. i many think it's worth it for native controller support. putting it on my steam deck and pc will be awesome, plus public servers will be amazing. im excited for the 14th! Edit: Plus the single player galactic conquest is the only game mode i care about, wish it was on modern battlefront games.
I grew up with both of these games and one thing they fixed which helped a LOT was the AI players glitching and AI’s standing there doing nothing. All AI’s now actually are useful and engaging. If you played this before you should know what I’m talking about… I hated being a one man show out of a team of 16 lol.
