The open beta testing for Star Wars: Battlefront is under way, and below you can view some 4K resolution screenshots from it. Thanks to photogrammetry and Frostbite 3’s lighting techniques, Star Wars: Battlefront is one of the most beautiful games to date. DICE has really nailed the game’s visuals. Enjoy!

the graphic is wow but the game play is meh
Yeah, the gameplay is very generic.
I woundn’t say generic but it’s meant to suite all levels of gamers and be easy to get into.
It is definitely simplified in comparison to battlefield. However, this doesnt detract from the fun. I mean, getting loaded into the cockpit of the AT AT and firing on rebel positions was a big wow moment for me. That, and turning a corner inside hoth’s base and coming face to face with vader. Holy sh*t.
Indeed, after playing the game for myself, i can say that the game is quite CLEAR! And runs very well. The gameplay isn’t ultra innovative but i can see myself having fun with this title after all. Might buy it.
Say whatever you want about EA. One place where they always deliver are graphics, especially with DICE’s games. We get what we are shown. Now gameplay and content is different story.
Yep, The Multi is hmm Too much arcade and Feels like something is not in place.
I dunno, but i find TitanFall better arcade FPP + Titans 😉
As for Visuals and FX + Music -> IT’S AWESOME !
First Game to use Dolby Atmos 7.1.4 !
Yeah, feel exactly the same way. Tried that last night and got bored of it fairly quickly. Nothing really innovating there, really simple objectives and didn’t see my character evolving much in this game.
Probably some will like it, but for me is too generic and it doesn’t even come close to other past similar games. And it’s multiplayer only, even though it has some single player options as well…
They can make good looking games, but graphics are not what make good games.
well they downgraded BF4. remember the first gameplay they showed ? cloths (their scarf and even pants) had physics in wind etc… but not in the final game. but still a great engine, sad they make s**ty games with it and s***ty people owns it.
i love how this game performs
frostbite engine looks like crysis 3 and performs perfect!

Frostbite 3 is hands down the best engine at the moment. Mass Effect: Andromeda will look godly next year using it.
I hope so. What we saw in the teaser didn’t look impressive to me.
The cgi trailer wasn’t impressive?
It wasn’t CGI. It was “in engine”.
Which is basically the same thing, except the engine was a game engine and not a proper cgi engine.
When I think CGI, I think high quality pre-rendered cutscenes like Blizzard’s cinematic intros. I don’t think in-engine cutscenes because that’s limited by what the engine can do.
Yeah there is a difference but so is in in-game vs in-engine. In-engine isn’t what you will be getting so it’s better to think it as cgi. By definition I guess it is cgi, especially as it’s not in real time or a game.
How about UE4? I guess we will see when actual games start to come out with it.
It looks and runs great, no crashes, fast joining to servers, gameplay works… excellent beta. Gameplay needs some tweaking(that where the beta comes in) and I feel like it needs a hardcore mode like battlefield. 4 headshots to kill with a slow firing rifle? It’s just too casual.
TEH FACKING VEHICLES ARE FLOATING ICONS! WTF!
I wish Dragon Age Inquisition had this amazing graphics, it’s such a waste that “another multiplayer FPS” gets this quality.
Dragon Age Inquisition looks awesome on Ultra. But the upcoming Mass Effect will be here to show us true beauty.
The game look amazing. That engine is just gorgeous, but it doesn’t change the fact that.. nearly all of their games are worse than the older ones. Gfx don’t make games fun.
NFS games-check (where do i even start)
Dragon Age- Check (DA1 was still better in alot of ways)
Battlefield – Check (No sea combat and somewhat weird maps and balance changes)
Battlefront-check (No space combat and under 64 players count.. why 64 anyway? why not 200.. its 2015 people!)
Am i missing a game with this gorgeous engine? Hmm.
Games tend to go with a little different route each time, sometimes loosing something but gaining something in return. No sea combat in bf? Of the 7 battlefield games one has had sea combat. And dont get me started on everything they have added and changed after sea combat was gone. BF4 has had some little weapons tweaking? Cool, I stopped playing bf2 because of OP weapons and that is remembered as a great game. By looks someone could mistake it for an mobile game, except those even look better today.
Battlefront isn’t battlefront 3. You cant complain it doesnt have 64 players when it wasn’t even designed for 64 players. It never meant to be one. Halo has 16 because it’s designed for 16. No space combat? They decided to focus on ground and air battles. But 1&2 had all three? The level on complexity has gone up to ridiculous levels in comparison.
I tried Battlefront today and as far as the Beta goes, its as simple as it gets. The singleplayer thing is just a copy paste from the online missions in BF3(or BC2’s horde mode). It actually seems more basic, cuz its just a horde mode? Survive 10 waves.. woohoo..
Online was pretty basic too. I don’t know if its cuz of the Beta or not, but 4 weapons and just a few “perks” is not enough for me.I hope they got a ton more,because if this is everything.. i know ill get bored even faster than i did with Titanfall, and that game had quite a few weapons.
Air combat felt a bit off in comparison to BF2 or even the Battlefield games. The sound and music are amazing, the gfx just scream Star Wars but after i played 6 full maps and i did the singleplayer thing, i just got bored. We won half of the games and i did more than well in most of the matches and still.. bored? Hm. Funny how Battlefield 2/Titanfall’s beta kept me more interested for longer.
Again, i’m not sure if its cuz of the beta, but different maps wont fix my problem. This just reminds me of Titanfall too much. That game had a couple of weapons and perks too. I got tired of it. Fun for a bit but not worth the 60 bucks. I would gladly pay 60 bucks for BF1942,2142,2 and 4. I can play those endlessly without getting bored for weeks if not more.
Lastly, i get the game was made the way it was made for a reason. It might be cuz of the hardware, it might be cuz of the design of the maps but i know one thing for sure.. Battlefront 2 felt bigger cuz of the bots. How cool would it be if this BF had bots like in Titanfall? They could give you half of the XP of a human target. It will make the battles bigger and more epic. That could be a special mode aswell.. if people aint fans of that.. just dont play it? I was actually hoping DICE would add up bots in BF4.
P.s. Im a huge Starwars fan too. I’m so happy to see the frost map made so well. Its actually just as good looking as the movie was imho. This game IS really gorgeous, and when lasers and fighters start flying around.. oh boy.. I get chills all over my body.
I have to say you are right, at least to a degree. It’s too simple and easy. I knew that from the first announcements, they even said it’s going to be more casual than BF4 and I play BF with hardcore mode just because even it is too casual. Some say ”You elitist hc pricks” but in fact it’s the depth and ability to get better and better that keep people playing. I have over 700 hours in cs go in just over a year because it’s just so good and let’s you improve. People play 6 maps or even less in cs, you dont need that much content if the game is designed like cs. You dont really master a gun in battlefield like you will in cs. You dont learn the map like you will in cs. BF has no tactics really and very little teamwork even as a 64 player game. People will not play battlefront that long for a reason. It’s clearly meant for a very casual crowd who plays playstation on a couch <4 times a week.
might be pretty, but the game is a steaming turd.
It’s really eerie how well they’ve captured the ambience of the movies. It’s almost like being on set during filming.
this game its perfect optimized !
ultra ftw
Yeah. The 290X is still getting over 80fps on 1440P? It’s madness I tell ya.
it might look great but to me it suffers from the same thing all battlefield series do, its hard for me to see the other players. in cod titalfall and others its not an issue but in battlefield it is. also im already seeing its going to be a snipe fest. its still a good looking game tho
Another great optymized game 🙂 On my R9 280X 80fps on Ultra and on my old GTX 550TI 50fps on high 😉 First Mad Max then MGS V and now SW BF 🙂
It looks nothing like cry3 sorry. But it does look nice compared to some other titles. The image is quite clear/crisp.
