When and if that will happen is impossible for me to say, but no, we’re not saying that space battles are evil and that we will never, ever touch them with a ten-foot pole.

What you see in DLC is sometimes the result of things that you started thinking during the latter part of development.

That's as close a confirmation as you'll get for a year at least. I'm sorry to jump to conclusions but surely this can't be a coincidence that they've noticed the back-lash ("thinking during the latter part of development") and now plan to release it as DLC.

So you were unhappy that BF won't have space battles, but you're also unhappy that they might make them for later release?

I think the reason why he's unhappy is because chances are it's going to be a paid thing. When there is a DLC for them I think it's safe to say the majority of the maps are going to be a paid DLC. So like two maps are free and the others you have to buy. The jet playlist for Battlefield is only unlcoked when you buy a DLC that has that playlist so something like that could be for this DLC.

Just like people were upset that Sims 4 wouldn't have pools ("It’s more complexity in terms of what tech’s there and what isn’t there, what we have to build to support [pools]."), then they released them later on in a patch?

We've seen this happen before through EA subsidiaries; EA pushes the practice of rushing out a barebones (and generally buggy) experience and they just "readd" the materials months afterwards in either free patches (how noble!) or in paid DLC. This isn't DICE's fault, but it's still a shitty practice and EA-DICE is still responsible for the final product.

They literally could have just ported Elite Squadron, making the transition from Space and Land seemless ( Elite Squadron had a 5 sec cutscene, but was pretty good for a PSP game) and it would have been a fucking success.

Agreed. That game did get the space battles right for being as limited as it is. The ships themselves have a interior to them instead of just being rooms and they can effect the ground battle. In that game the space battle has very little impact on the game but you can just build a game type around it. The attacking team starts in space and the defenders are on the ground. The attacking team wins be capturing or destroying objectives and the defending team wins by draining the attacking teams numbers or destroying their command ships. With Battlefront it's as if anything fun is either hindered or removed for greed which is the case.

I honestly blame EA still. Indie devs take longer to make games because they are not on any publishers clock. They can put any of their ideas without worry about a release date.

>Early access cancer plaguing the indie scene over the past few years

That's kind of true but there have still been tons of amazing indie games in the past few years.

Quality is based on the developer and publisher; in the case of indie games, the developer is both. It does allow more creative freedom, yes, but whether they have the financial backing or ability/drive to do so suffers in a lot of cases. A good game is based on the developer creating a quality product and the publisher giving them enough time/room to do so. EA, Ubisoft, etc are known for not doing their part. Bethesda has a better record as a publisher, for example, and Squeenix has been okay.

The game probably won't be good, but these images are getting more and more retarded, because they're assuming that minimal information that has been announced = everything.

If they just sold this as DLC for Battlefield 4, then I think most of us would be okay, sour over the spoiled opportunity, but it coul have been worse.

BUT A FULL RELEASE TITLE. This is robbery

I'm aware of your thread

:/


I'm still keeping my excitement there in my mind. It'll take more than that to kill it.

Another reason why you should not buy this game.
