you spelled "is" as "seems" in the title

Forgewolf · April 22, 2015, 08:55:28 PM

Well guess what.. Gameplay over prettiness.. They are focusing too much on being pretty.. they are holding their game back over all.

>unironically defending developers offering increasingly shitty products to consumers

Top kek

I'd like to point out that that picture is extremely misleading.

For example Battlefront 2 did not have 33 maps. It had 16 ground ones (most of which were shit) and 2 space ones. The only difference between the space ones was the ship placement and the skybox.

The classes were all basically carbon copies of each other too except for the CIS.

because EA and Disney definitely don't have enough money to put more content right?

I've been finding the response to Battlefront disturbing as well.

This isn't a sequel to Battlefront 2. This is a reboot. If they're simplifying things to benefit the overall cohesiveness of the game, then so be it.

Bots are, not sure about split screen.

So you're telling us that EA or Disney(Which ever one is founding this game.) even though has billions doesn't have enough money to found a game? Does your ass get jealous of the amount of shit coming out of your mouth?

Big Boss · April 23, 2015, 05:33:05 AM

I'm still looking forward to it and I will defend it if I need to, but it is shit that they aren't putting much in.

I don't think there's any good defense for this game when it comes to the shit that we already know. The only one that can have a defense is the space battles. Maybe the reason for them not being at launch is because DICE wants to focus on the game and then add them latter on. Other than that it's just shiity decisions.

I'm saying EA is probably maximising profit for as little cost as possible, which resulted in this.

The game is going to sell itself for example look at GTA 5. That game banked over a billion withing two days. Battlefront is going to bank as well. They can put the same amount of passion and beyond what was put into the second game and still bank.

DICE probably didn't have much funding to work with.

Oh please. EA has billions so they can aford to give this game a founding. It's not like GTA 5 which the developers hired real people to rescript the dialog to make it more realistic. It's not also like GTA SA which the developers hired famous people like Samuel L. Jackson to voice characters. That game has a lot of famous people in it. With Battlefront the game is not going to have as high of a budget as what those two games did. All it needs is a large enough budget and little advertising. It's just EA being greedy.

That blaster pistol probably has more detail in it

which will mean nothing if the game itself is boring

OK so it's a reboot. Why should that be a reason why it has less content but still is going to cost more than Battlefront 2 at launch? It being a reboot shouldn't mean it's OK for it to have 40 players and have the ATAT's on a scribed path. It really shouldn't be all that hard to develop this game. It's bascilly going to be Star Wars Battlefield. They already have a engine built due to Battlefield. Just because it's a reboot shouldn't mean it's going to have less content than the game that came out before it which is a 2005 game.

When adjusted for inflation Battlefront 1 and 2 were actually more expensive than the Battlefront reboot.

You used to be able to have a character artist that knocked out all of the character models in a game. Now you need an entire team of character artists just to work on some of the more important characters.

sounds like sheer incompetence to me

Turkey · April 23, 2015, 08:21:30 PM

Video game costs are historically low compared to inflation-adjusted prices in the past, yes we demand exponentially more from them in a shorter schedule. Of course DLC is going to be a reality for all major triple-A games. Adjusted for inflation, BF2 cost more than the new one will cost. Hell, Ocarina of Time cost $60-70 back in the 90's, and that's without adjusting for inflation.
