Star Wars Battlefront out December 10, according to Gamestop

Looks like Star Wars Battlefront will be available in time for the release of Star Wars Episode VII.

Makes sense but I'm a little worried that they are being rushed to make the deadline. No one wants another bf4 disaster. If its not in a near perfect state then just delay it.

It's the industry in which we live and opportunity, everything is getting rushed.

A week before the movie, looks perfect to me.

BTW I don't think that DICE will fail with this game: it's the first Star Wars title with the EA label (from the new license), they just can't fail. :D

The thing is....With Star Wars, DICE can't afford to fail.

They would lose all respect within the industry because Star Wars is bigger than DICE will ever be and hopefully they understand that.

They not only have to please star wars fans, they also have to please battlefront fans/gamers. Although alot of them are the same.

SpaceRanger3345d ago

If true, then it's just like I said a while back.
It'll be just in time for all the hype of the movie (Probably even to hype the movie even more), and to steal a lot of thunder from other games during Christmas time to close off the end of the year. If all goes well in terms of gameplay, it'll be flying off the shelves for everyone to enjoy.

FeliceDiGi3345d ago

I really hope it will. Star Wars deserves another great shooter!

danny8183345d ago

I feel this game will be delayed, we still don't have a trailer. I know its due very soon but I feel like a release this year is pre mature. They need to release a beta asap lol in the summer time

April 16th Dice and EA are streaming the first ever gameplay...

WizzroSupreme3345d ago

I've never understood the mentality of EA's that a licensed game can't be successful without a movie hinging on its release. Heck, Star Wars is Star Wars and fans are willing to buy it any day of the year the same as Batman coming out in a year without a Batman movie. As bad a reputation as licensed games have because of how broken and uninspired as they are, best to delay a game to ensure its perfection than reduce it to another burn to an already spotty franchise.

Saryk3345d ago

I agree. If the game is good, that is all that is needed.

OC_MurphysLaw3345d ago

I think you are assuming EA has a say in the matter. It could very well be part of the deal with the licensing was that the game had to be out in time for the movie release. It could further have a narrowed window of release to the week before as I am sure the game will contain some material that would potentially spoil parts of the movie if seen too far ahead of release.

Aspyr if we sell hotcakes get that code from radical or something and create battlefield 3 please

I thought that was kind of obvious they were incorporating mods to piece this game together. Maybe not, but that's made me worried about one thing:

They also planned on adding the modded ending to KOTOR 2 but were legally blocked from doing so, even after they advertised that to help sell preorders for the game on Switch. Could the same happen with this? Any opponents have 3 weeks to bring down the hammer.

Wish these games would just get remakes.
