Re: At Last! DICE to make the new SWBF!!!

I dunno, sounds great but will they want it released on an older engine? And with BF4 due soon they may want to focus more on that.

I agree that releasing the mod standalone would be a great way to build up some buzz, but if they can't deliver some of the features we have, such as the space combat missions, they may be reluctant to build up hype. If their game play is lacking and they have focused more on the graphics and destructible environment stuff..

Still, maybe Talon should approach them tongue Maybe they could finish Hoth!

Re: At Last! DICE to make the new SWBF!!!

Heh, I think Twigs is right, if anything they might see it of more of a threat to their game by giving people a taste of Battlefield style Star Wars action before they deliver it. I think they'd be wanting the public chomping at the bit for that come release date, which they won't be if they've been able to chow down on some good old First Strike action for the couple of years prior to release.

Plus even with EA having the license there is probably still a lot of red tape, they're licensed to produce this game, but to release anything else Star Wars related they'd clearly have to go through channels with Lucasfilm/Disney before they could green light anything, but it is a nice thought. Standalone would be awesome.

Might put a few feelers out there and see what comes back.

Re: At Last! DICE to make the new SWBF!!!

Dont' forget that First Strike only covers the era of the original trio, while Battlefront covers the whole range.     The Frostbite game engine has much improved player and enviroment graphics over the BF2142 game engine.   I fully expect that there will be space combat missions with stationary cap ships.    I also expect to see BF3 style character development.    There will be a lot of potential for improvements in a Battlefront game developed by DICE using Frostbite.  I seriously doubt that DICE will see First Strike as competion.

The team for the new Battlefront may have never even heard of First Strike.   If nothing else, by reminding DICE about First Strike, the devs might be influenced for more realistic gameplay over the arcadish style of current Battlefront releases.   Maybe even limit heroes?

Who knows, the devs may want to use Talon's inspired models, such as his  Freerunner.

Heh, that would be nice.

So in conjunction with The First Strike Star Wars Battlefront Celebration Weekender let's hear what you'd like to see from a new SW: Battlefront now in the trustworthy hands of DICE. Gameplay of a similar style to the original SW:BF? Something more like DICE's current gameplay style from the Battlefield series? Heck, maybe you'd like to see some of the gameplay mechanics or other elements utilised in First Strike make an appearance? Or perhaps you're after something totally fresh and new? Let's hear what you think.

Re: At Last! DICE to make the new SWBF!!!

I just want space battles.

Re: At Last! DICE to make the new SWBF!!!

I was jumping up and down in my seat and giggling like a little school girl when this was announced. lol I can't tell you how many times I watched the teaser trailer. I'm so incredibly hyped. l've waited a loooooooong time for DICE to do this. big_smile

Artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity.

Re: At Last! DICE to make the new SWBF!!!

Yeah, i was hoping for DICE to take their shot at this ever since EA got their partnership with Disney. It was suprising to hear they practically had to beg for the opportunity, i'd have handed it to them straight away.

If EA gives them space, they'll make this a game worth remembering. There's a chance here for the old group to come back into one clan, perhaps...

And... Hm, it's been a while since i posted here. smile
