Electronic Arts and DICE have unveiled some new screenshots for Star Wars: Battlefront. Star Wars: Battlefront is powered by Frostbite 3 and is currently planned for a November release. The game had an open beta a couple of days ago and according to EA, this was the most successful beta phase for EA as more than 9 million people have downloaded and played it. As a bonus we’ve also included an image showing Han Solo. Enjoy!

If only the game played as good as it looks.
Yeah, everything in gameplay feels bland because heroes, machines, etc. had to be nerfed.
That game sports some nice visuals. It was good enough for me to buy but unfortunately it is coming out in the same time frame as rainbow six and cod zombies. Can’t pass on these so, sorry dice :(.
Its $120 so it better look this good.
Wut, it’s $30.
Nah it’s not.
The game looks fantastic. I don’t think anyone would disagree with that. Unfortunately, the game’s graphics are not the problem. It’s the lack of content compared to Battlefront 2 and even the Alpha of Battlefront 3, along with all the DLC they are already pimping, that is the problem.
there is content. This time next year after all the season pass dlc and other things like different customizations , the game will have more of everything we want. You just have to either fork the money now and wait for content to dribble in over the year or buy the whatever complete edition in fall next year. Either way EA is getting away with it and making huge earnings from the huge star wars fanbase that exists and has nothing similar to play.
9.5mil players for the beta ot something. That’s huge. I predict at least 10 million sales for both the game and the season pass, that’s like 20 mil copies. All the talking isn’t going to change this, we can be as pissed as we want is not us making the sales. EA has it’s own little world to lure players in, origin and the star wars ip give ea the balls to be as petty as they want and know for sure they can get away with it. With the coming star wars movie it’s money in the bak.
In fact i think it will kick cod’s a*s. I’m rather curious how the sales charts are going to look after the holydays, if the star wars nerds will top the cod playes in dishing out cash for their addiction
They have no money or resources to f*cking animate all of those dead-stare emotionless faces?
It’s a multiplayer game. Why would you want them to waste resources on something players won’t spend more than a second looking at?
Waste money? It would barely cost them anything, in Witcher 3 Geralt has fantastic facial emotions during fights, and most of the time you see his back. In a game like this you’ll bee seeing many allies or foes as they fight, seeing their blank stare ruins immersion completely.
Witcher 3 is a RPG with hundreds of hours of conversations with NPCs. They need facial animation and they invested a lot in it. Multiplayer games do not need facial animation. Invest in that and the quality of everything else suffers for no reason.
You’re a moron. Throwing in some generic facial expressions would somehow break the entire development and cause the game to go to sh*t? Do you realize how easy to implement something like this is? I doubt it, so keep quiet.
“Do you realize how easy to implement something like this is?”
You don’t realize how hard it is. If you hand-animate it it won’t look real and it will cost a long time from one or two animators. If you want realistic expressions you need mocap. Popular misconception then is that mocap is finished the moment the actor takes off his suit. Nope, animators go over every frame, no mocap system is perfect. Rigging characters is difficult. At the very least we’re talking about several hours in a mocap studio (I’m assuming DICE has one for Battlefield and ME) with several actors, and about dozens of hours of animation work. And you need the code to actually trigger all these facial animations in mid-combat. This script must not have a noticable impact on performance so it has to be well written, not something you should let the intern handle.
Even if the game turns out to be sh*t, at least its pushing the gfx and sound effects quite nicely.. its just another step towards amazing gfx and games. I cant wait for the day they make a good looking game that also plays well.
Starwars Battlefield ,same sh*t no innovation at all, just put a Starwars brand on Battlefield, you get this.
add: remove some features and content as well 😀
And market it in time for the movie. George Lucus must be rubbing his hands at the Starwars bandwagon being remade over and over again.
Don’t you mean Disney and EA rubbing hands? Lucas sold all of Star Wars to Disney, sure he still gains from it cause he was given alot of Disney shares in that deal but, its not his saga anymore.
