Second screen technology will not be a short-lived fad, DICE creative director Lars Gustavsson believes, but a mechanic the developer will look to take advantage of in all of its games going forward.
Is Star Wars Battlefront 3 coming? Well, the correct answer is yes, no and maybe. It’s been six years since the second instalment, and fans are still waiting for confirmation of another sequel.
Game companies are not mature enough to handle this concept without turning it into a casino.
The remakes of battlefront should have been more simular to the originals. CoD/battlefield reskinned as Star Wars was not the anwser.
Halo veteran Marcus Lehto's studio, Ridgeline, will now be joined by DICE on the project.
Someone has just revealed images proving that there was supposed to be a Star Wars Battlefront III for PSP.
Oh yea battlefront games were on the psp weren't they? And force unleashed as well. Great "handheld" versions those were.
Battlefront III in PSP is just Elite Squadron, was never cancelled. The start up menu is even the same same with X1 and X2.
I disagree, i think tablet companion apps are fads but that's not to say i think they are bad....I think some are pretty cool (like the BF4 companion app for commander mode). But, tablets have a huge mainstream focus at the moment (nothing wrong with that) and in a few years everyone will have moved onto the next big thing. But hey, things come and go, i guess you could call most things a fad, just some fads last longer than others.
Commander Mode for Star Wars Battlefront?!?!?! That could be interesting if they have ground to space battles.
If it's not a fad, DICE, then prove it.
Make it integral. Make it feel essential to the overall experience and not seem like a cheap, shoehorned way to artificially broaden a game's appeal.
I've yet to see any real good or practical use of "Second Screen" in any way EXCEPT for Madden when you're playing with a friend in the same room on the same screen. It's too distracting. For the Walking Dead, you miss the show, for games, you get killed. Until they (Developers) really show us some well thought out practical uses for it, I'll pass because I see nothing worthy yet.
A game like MAg would benefit from a second screen.
