Manakin Skywalker 4,894 Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 EA's SWBF2 will be coming out in a few months. Do you think it will contain any unreleased music? It seems this Saturday may or may not be the moment of truth, as they will be showcasing prequel gameplay. Will and Chewy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manakin Skywalker 4,894 Posted June 10, 2017 Author Share Posted June 10, 2017 I couldn't quite tell if there was anything in the gameplay reveal. The announcers were talking over the whole thing.

Will 2,215 Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Did Haab score this game, or is it entirely old Williams stuff? In other news, I do rather like the music in this new trailer - if you figure out who did it, let me know! (plus the trailer itself is just awesome) I don't really play videogames unless I'm with my cousin in the summer who has an Xbox (hopefully he'll get this one - that's how I got to try out the 2015 Battlefront), but I do love admiring the graphics and locations (and, possibly, music). Man, Theed looks amazing in this gameplay footage - Cities offer such an amazing environment that you just can't get with the in-the-middle-of-nowhere OT locations. It's also really cool how they can render Naboo even more beautifully now, in a way that just wasn't quite possible when the prequels were made. Wish they'd show other locations now!

FC4L 87 Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Looks like the same dull boring gameplay that made the last game garbage. Nice visuals but running around a tiny map with no cover just trying to blast everything gets old EXTREMELY quick. Too bad Star Wars games have turned into this sort of boring shoot-die-respawn-repeat-repeat-repeat-repeat grossly over expensive nonsense. Wkae me when a game with actual story and substance arrives. I'm going to guess that will be Lego The Last Jedi.

He scored the entire campaign, and then scored multiplayer again on top of that. Musically, it's basically going to be the same as the 2015's Battlefront; Gordy Haab's music mixed with Williams'. As for the trailer, Gordy said that he did not score that (I was sure he didn't anyway, as it's not his style). It could be that guy that did TLJ's trailer, as it sounds very similar.

Wkae me when a game with actual story and substance arrives. I'm going to guess that will be Lego The Last Jedi. Not sure if this is what you mean but it is rather disconcerting to have the entire map free of civilians -- i.e. the city is virtually deserted. I'm not sure whether that's just because it's too hard to render responsive crowds, but it is disappointing.* *It may also be because, IIRC, Theed in TPM is deserted. Now that I think about that, I find it rather odd. The Trade Federation's invasion was a surprise, yet everybody had left already? (except for a handful of high-ranking government officials and some pilots) And then somehow everyone comes back and the city is packed for the parade at the end? Maybe it wasn't actually deserted and I'm misremembering, but if it was, I'm confused. Maybe George Lucas thought it was too expensive to add civilians? Maybe Theed doesn't have a population other than the government, and all the parade-goers at the end were visiting from elsewhere? Weird. ------------ As a side note, FC4L, there is a story mode in this game, previewed briefly at the end of yesterday's trailer, about an Imperial soldier after ROTJ.

FC4L 87 Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 What I meant was the first (well 3rd) Battlefront game was a boring, representative, run around a small map trying to get more kills than you get killed. Wave after wave of respawns. No actual tactic. No true skill. Just run and strafe and shoot before you get shot. I was bored playing the first level befire I was even finished playing the first level. But oh look, you get to be grossly over powered "heroes" and pay more money for a few more levels because they didn't feel like selling you a complete game in the first place. This new game looks like just more of the same. Class levl characters because you know in war you can only ever handle 1 type of weapon. Going back to the prequels which everyone seems excited about because the game is new but just yesterday were reminding the world how much they hate George Lucas and the crap he came up with after losing his mind in making those films. That story mode will almost certainly be just cut scenes between levels to give players some sense of satisfaction for completing missions rather than just ending a level and going back to the select screen. The gameplay won't change other than this new, suddenly the entire galaxy is full of strong powerful females, character will have her own special "hero" traits. I didn't buy the last game until this past Boxing Day for $25. I feel ripped off. Played maybe an hour and doubt I'll ever play it again. Battlefield/front games are such nonsense they aren't worth my time at all. And no idea why developers who can't be bothered coming up with an actual good game system would somehow be given access to music never before released and then find a creative way to use it. That's too much work with zero financial pay-off that is all these games are about now. I pre-ordered Red Dead 2 and can't wait for a fully fleshed out amazing game.

Popular Post FC4L 87 Posted June 11, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted June 11, 2017 Lego games are actually good. They are well thought out and full of things to keep you playing. I finished Force Awakens 100%. Though if you don't find the Lego asthetic interesting then they won't be for you. But compared to Battlefront the Lego games are Ferrari's racing shiny pintos with lots of flashy chrome. Heck the Lego game even knows the difference between the correct Falcon turbolaser sounds and the dumb noise JJ changed it to for absolutely zero good reasons. Also, the Lego games tend to have some JW easter eggs in them as well. Though he's yet to be made a playable minifig as far as I'm aware.

They can add all of the superfluous "bonus" stuff like new skins/maps/classes all they want but unless they change the core gameplay mechanics, it'll still be the same bland experience.

But, IIRC, Naboo seemed deserted from the first time we see it (at least in the parts we can see on screen - many everyone just stayed locked in their homes?) -- even though the Trade Federation took only hours from the start of its invasion to capture Theed. So I'm not sure if it was the war that made Theed deserted... Still, though, whatever. Not sure why I'm obsessing so much over this detail.

Interesting! Are you Pablo Hidalgo in disguise? I found that prisoner scene you mentioned (the important shot is at :08): Anyway, this new info really changes things. The city still totally feels like a ghost town, but I guess that's to be expected -- presumably the residents hid in their houses or whatever during the initial "battle" (which wasn't very big since Naboo had basically no security). Now I am satisfied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ever played Rainbow 6 Vegas? Far superior gameplay to the run/strafe and shoot shoot shoot! Die-respawn-shoot some more boring tired mechanic. Go play a game like Medal of Honor (not the garbage churned from a machine that comes out today, the REAL Medal of Honor) or take a look at Player Unknown's Battlegrounds. When you die you DIE. No respawn and run around like a jackass trying to get more kills in before you get taken out by a "hero" again. Battlefront was a dull boring game cash grab built on an established franchise designed for the simplest of gaming minds. The sequel looks just as bland and boring.
