Is Star Wars Battlefront 2's big update enough to save it?

From Eurogamer: "If the story of DICE's Battlefront is a one of a young upstart torn between the forces of dark and light then this, coming after the series found itself corrupted and besieged late last year, should be the third act that offers some kind of redemption. Star Wars Battlefront 2's new update, which dropped last week, sees the game undergo the biggest overhaul seen in a big budget title since Diablo 3 excised its auction house - and it's a change that's come about in a fraction of the time. Even then, is it all too late for DICE's shooter?"

People already move on. Sure, people can come back to play SWBF2 but the damage is already done.

I still don't know why in the fuck I'd want to play an FPS as a battle droid in 2018. I mean, who was seriously asking for that?

FPS_D3TH2246d ago

These are not the FPS droids you are looking for 👋🏻

A ton of people were asking for clone wars era content.

_-EDMIX-_2246d ago

Well I heard about a month back The next big content batch is going to be Clone Wars stuff.

That along with the progression update will definitely get me back into playing. I'm currently just playing Battlefield 1 and 4 I'm just waiting for the update for Star Wars Battlefront 2 to jump back in

Becuzisaid2246d ago

Lol bit of a DICE fanatic are you? Actually I started playing battlefield 1 again today after some time away from it. Such a good game.

_-EDMIX-_2246d ago

lol they haven't let me down yet. I would argue their the only multiplayer Team that still exist today that I've been able to purchase a multiplayer game with the full Trust of it being of great quality.

Lots of multiplayer games from my youth have not been able to hold up because of numerous changes or teams splitting apart what have you I remember loving the multiplayer in the first two Halo games and then the team just begin to change their design overtime, I also remember loving the multiplayer in Call of Duty 2 in 4 and just over time it also changed as well, Battlefield might be the only multiplayer series that I know of that is always maintained a very very strong balance of quality.

Becuzisaid2246d ago

Well, battlefield 4 was a bit of a mess for a while, and battlefront after was so bare bones. Still, you're right, not too many companies hit the mark the way DICE does. I'll jump back and forth between their games and rocket league for online play.

Nope. The game is fundamentally bad. The loot crates were just the tipping point.

Nodoze2246d ago

If the game would have launched as it stands it would have been a massive success. Who would have thought that leveling and progression occurring from actually PLAYING versus gambling with lootboxes would have made such a difference (thanks to the EA's dumbass CEO). The other aspect that has changed is that now when you are able to spend battle points you are more inclined to do so as it actually levels up the character....fundamentally changes gameplay for the better. In the past players would in many cases just save points.

We now need to see more content, however, with next to no financial incentives I do not see this happening from EA and DICE. They will continue to throw recycled content from BF 1 into the game (levels, characters etc) in the hopes that this appeases the players.

We need both this new progression updates AND a steady stream of updates and content to keep this game going.

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.

Remembering or celebrating? It's Halloween yo, that's what people are celebrating.

The first game was really fun. I remember being disappointed with this one when it first released.

I went back last month actually, and had more fun than when released-but I still think the first one is superior. Do like the soundtrack!

To think of all the characters we have been asked to kill since No Russian
