DICE Senior Producer Sigurlina Ingvarsdottir talked about the Frostbite engine and what it enables DICE to create for Star Wars Battlefront.
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.
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.
Clever Star Wars fans have uncovered yet another piece of Free Radical's Star Wars: Battlefront 3, exploring the game's tutorial level.
After all these years, Free Radical's SWBF2 is still the best overall Star Wars game to me. It had everything you could want in big fun team battles, Jedi vs Sith and the space battles were extremely well done giving you the ability to land inside a capital ship's hangar to sabotage and take it down from within.
This is just Battlefront Elite Squadron. Cancelling it was the right move, very few changes to Battlefront 3 except for a new forgettable campaign.
"The Battlefield series is known for its high level of destruction and carnage, so it's only logical to expect a similar level of destruction in Star Wars Battlefront. Ingvarsdottir was then asked about the type of destruction players can expect when they step into Star Wars Battlefront this November.
"It’s hard to point at any one specific example, but I think that when you see the visuals of the game as a whole, and you compare in your mind with games that have been running on previous generations of consoles, you can just see the leap in capabilities of the hardware – as well as what the engine can really do, given that increased power," Ingvarsdottir said."
Dont expect much guys, if the destruction was great they wouldnt have waited this long to talk about it and he side stepped the question. Looks like yet another game with lackluster destruction. Amazing how a 5 year old game on old consoles has better destruction than a new game on new consoles. If I were them I would show off gameplay on May 4th to show everyone how 'great' the game is. Cant wait for Just Cause 3 and its physics based destruction.
Frostbite engine so far hasn't been able to hit 1080/60 & has terrible jaggies in the console games. I'm hoping this will be different., unless they go for 30fps.
I have little faith in DICE's destruction. They gave up on that a long time ago in favour of graphics.
I don't blame them entirely though, if they upped the destruction millions of whiny gamers would complain about a graphics downgrade while reminiscing about how BFBC2 was the best in the series.
Destruction?... Blasters don't blow buildings apart. Anyone remember buildings falling down in Star Wars from blaster fire? I think it would kill the Star Wars feel if they used destruction. Trees maybe, being hit by AT AT fire.
