Still, looks closer to Battlefronts than Battlefields.

I suspect those guys got banned already though. Even so, it's good to see things are on track.
 
Still not certain EA aren't going to ruin it... please don't ruin it...

It's already ruined by not having any kind of action in space.. it's called STAR wars, not star wars battlefield.. It's essentially the gameplay with a different skin. It'll probably still be a fun game but I can't buy it without any space action. Defeats the purpose tbh.

A legion of Star Wars nerds will disagree with this.
 
Having played it, (and staying within NDAas best I can)

I'm impressed so far, very faithful to the 3 proper movies thus far. Sound effects are spot on (like, spot on) the guns sound ace and feel really good.

How they made a laser weapon feel like it creates recoil is odd, but quite satisfying. :)

Texturally speaking and graphically... it's pretty freaking gorgeous in the flesh it must be said.

It feels a little bit battlefield'y but at the same time, it also kind of doesn't. I think it only does because of the preconception of Dice doing it with Frostbite, I think the gameplay and powerups and stuff separate it enough to make it a different game.

Not going to say much more than this, other than I'll be playing the crap out of it this weekend :D

Edit: Also, allll those videos have gone :) lol

Well that's at least somewhat reassuring... I don't mind the way Battlefield plays at all, so as long as it only incorporates elements of battlefieldyness and is not just a carbon copy covered in Star Wars textures then i'll probably enjoy it.

Basically, if it makes me think i'm playing a Battlefront game more than a Battlefield game then it'll be a good step for the series.

Correct, it's called Star Wars Battlefront, which is pretty much the front line of a battlefield, or, as in the dictionary:
'Battlefront (noun): The area where opponents meet or clash. / The line or sector in which armed forces engage in combat.'

Yes, I agree with you, the game would be better with space battles. Just saying the argument that it's not called Star Wars Battlefield is invalid. :p

That being said, I do hope they add mod support so that some modder can add space battles. Heck, I'd even pay for Space Battle DLC!

No game running on Frostbite will ever get mod support dude. They don't have the correct licensing on all the third party stuff to license it out for people to use.

They won't pay what it costs to do so either.

Bummer. I don't really play any games from EA, so I didn't know this. Oh well, let's hope for a Space Battle DLC then I guess!
 
I don't buy any games from EA anymore. But this looks as though it's turning out alright, I wonder if it'll be enough to make me return to the dark side...
 
I'm still disappointed this won't have a dedicated single player campaign :(

I hope at least we get good PvE co-op.

Me too. :( I would LOVE to see a huge open-world Star Wars game a la Witcher 3 / Skyrim. My god, typing that mere sentence aroused me.

EDIT: would also like to see a modern space combat sim (just for NBD), like the old X-Wing / Tie Fighter games, but with much more detail of course.

I think they need to make a new Star Wars: Rogue Squadron game. That game was pure quality.

So far, seems okay ;)

Elite: Dangerous has a very similar feel to X-Wing I find

It was good, but there were some sticking points in that for me, there are better games in the series, a new modern X-Wing / Tie-fighter / Rebel Alliance wouldn't go amis.
Imagine if they re-made pod-racer on a today's engine.. that would be effin' glorious
