It's DICE... so wait a year for the patch that fixes some of the major release bugs and then introduces a slew of new ones.

Please, please, please... can someone produce Xwing 2.0 !? I went out and bought $400 worth of hardware to get that game to run on my 486 and wasn't disappointed in the least.

TIE Fighter please!

O make it a Xwing 2 and Tie fighter 2 and were all happy although tiefighter was stuttering like hell on my 386 40mhz

Oh god yeah, plus it's EA so you'll probably start out with no weapons and have to buy everything with microtransactions.

BUT... this flips a switch in me marked "playing with my snowspeeder against AT-ATs on xmas day as a kid", and I love it for that.


@ant and @Ashenkase, I would pay an unholy amount of money for a new X-Wing/TIE Fighter game. Throw in oculus support and I'd probably sell my house to pay for it.

That's exactly why I'm looking forward to it. Battlefront was always a Battlefield clone, and I don't think anyone has ever done the genera better than DICE.

It could be buggy, but if they have massive 64 player combined arms battles in the rebellion timeline, I might not care.

The SW:Battlefront games were never terribly good, so it's likely to see an improvement with DICE creating it. I've just had a lot of annoyance with the bugs in Battlefield games, from the Friend/Foe mis-coloring of names and server filters not working in BF2, to the "How did it ship like this?" netcode in BF4. They have been slow to fix things, and when they do, they often end up introducing several more less-serious bugs.

Yeah I was a big fan of the Battlefield series up till about 2142....then it just kinda fell off for me.

Battlefront never really appealed, it always felt off... Not like many of the other games where you played jedi and could really do some interesting stuff.

"In-engine footage" my backside!

Why do they always have to lie to our faces about this stuff? That's clearly been post processed to the point where it may as well be pre rendered CGI. (If that's really how the pre alpha/alpha build looks then DIce have mastered witchcraft which seems unlikely)

You'd think after all the butt hurt over Colonial marine and Watch doge's etc......

....then again I'm totally going to end up buying it anyway........

Star War gaming is dead: DICE is just there to piss on the grave.

I nerdgasm'd so hard watching this for the first time lol.

Dice can make a great game if given time and the talent and drive seems to be there. Now if only EA doesn't fuck it up.

As to X-Wing 2.0? X-wing was good, but Tie Fighter was better. Still, I'd like them both.

And as to Star Wars gaming being dead.. bullshit. Disney doesn't buy properties to stop using them.

Dammit, I'll run out and buy a new Playstation 4 for this!! And A Big screen!!
