But it's totally actual game play, bro.

Looks like you won't get a campaign, but you will at least get to shoot bots.

Thanks. I love when my posts make this sort of impact and cultural change.

Prepare for the groans from all the Star Wars geeks.

Wow.

Don't really understand the hate this game is getting. Its a brand new game from a different developer, yet people are comparing the features to the sequel of a game that came out over 10 years ago.

Probably because it's a big deal because it's Star Wars and a revitalization of a beloved franchise (even if I personally think the previous two games were way overrated). With the power of these consoles people expect MORE from the series, not less. And then when you're following the Battlefield model and already have a Season Pass and/or tons of DLC set up for a game that appears to be stripped of tons of features, it reeks of bullshit.

As far as any "hate" from me I was just initially pointing out that the trailer everyone was losing their shit over wasn't actual game play and then I caught a bunch of flack for that. But it appears more people agree with me that it wasn't game play.

So basically, you're okay with hyping up a game and then making said game much worse than it's predecessor. That's like buying Madden 15 and starting it up only to find it plays about as well as Madden 05.

This game is looking like pure garbage from EA. Again. Limited features and features being pulled, probably to push the release date up. This game isn't as good as if they took the original Modern Warfare and simply re-skinned it with Star Wars skins.

Considering that its being developed by the people that gave us Battlefield (DICE), and it's using the Frostbite 3 Engine, there is a pretty good reason everyone is :fap:ing uncontrollably.

As soon as I saw the familiar scenery of Hoth and heard those blasters, I was ready for them to take my money.

You must be unfamiliar with DICE games.

As long as it's Original Trilogy and not Prequel Trilogy, I'll be fine with it.

It's the last "good" game from Lucasarts, and they abandoned the third one for whatever reason. The fact that DICE is doing this game makes it that much better.

Anyone care to re-visit their thoughts on this?

It was a pre-Battlefield 4 comment. :dunno:

I have excitement b/c it's Star Wars, but after being burned by that BF4 release, I'm skeptical. I just want to see some gameplay and more details at E3 before I either slob on its knob or grab my torch and pitchfork.

Comon guys this is EA..trust them. They are just perfecting the engine then they'll add all the extra stuff. Just wait till next year's version !

I like to be optimistic :kanye:. I'm not going to judge something that I haven't seen.

1. There is no single player campaign, just a few missions depicting moments from the original trilogy that can be played solo or cooperatively.

2. There is no galactic conquest mode.

3. The max player count is capped at 40 across all platforms. When asked whether bots would be featured DICE responded with "no comment".

4. There are no space battles or fighting in orbit, and air units will be confined to the area above ground maps like in the Battlefield franchise.

5. The game will launch with only 4 playable planets, though how many maps will be set on each is unclear.

6. Only units and characters from the Original Trilogy will be featured.

7. The AT-AT walkers shown in the trailer and promotional stills will not be player controlled, and will instead follow a scripted path across the battlefield.

This game sounds like it belongs in the Death Star Trash Compactor next to Ataris ET and Playstations Madden 96
