The first paragraph sounds like you feel attacked and thus need to defend the game, it;s not even out yet and we haven't fully seen actual gameplay but none the less I'll point you to Jim Sterling's view on battlefront and the cynicism: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Br3Xm_s1P6Q You make it sound like we're asking for the world though, I find we aren't, we simply just want what the previous games had, building on your existing franchise and making it more and more action packed and filled with great content is what we should be aiming for, instead what we're seeing is content being cut out and cut back and obviously right now we've got people doing PR for them by defending such changes and cutbacks like it's mortally impossible to ever achieve the results from the past on hardware from today's standards is weaker. I too want to play a new Star Wars game, I enjoyed TFU and TFU II for what they were, they were good but not ball park amazing, battlefront 2 back then was amazing, this game looks ok but doesn't scream battlefront to me and I know I;m not the only one feeling this, you don't feel detered because you're showing us that you aren't really bothered what they do, you just need a quick fix and a quick impression rather than a long good quality fix and longer lasting impression and that's fine for you but for some of us it's simply not, that's why we all have different expectations and standards, just because yours aren't in line with ours doesn't make us wrong or asking for the unievrse that they can never deliver. I'll be waiting to see what becomes of it, I've more or less stopped buyign games on launch day for the past 3 years so seeing how this turns out won't really make me crack down, I'll most likely be watching folks like TB and Jim Sterling to see how it turns out. |
I'm saying I don't feel deterred because I'm going to judge the game on how enjoyable it looks based on trailers/gameplay, sounds based on previews/reviews and plays when I do eventually get my hands on it. Dissapointment at it lacking a certain feature is understandable (space battles), my sentiment wasn't that no one can criticise the game, its that people are being overly pessimistic. When people are saying this game looks like a Turd and F*ck Dice, they essentially basing quality on arbituary assets which don't really reflect on what the game may deliver. We haven't even seen the gameplay in action.
It could very well be that without Space battles this game shits all over the previous one, as I stressed gameplay standards have changed and more needs to go into providing a tactile/responsive experience that feels immersive and empowering. I'd happily take quality of quantity. I'm also touching on the reality that this game was made to coincide with the new film, if they had a 3/4 year developement cycle or 1000 employees like AC then maybe I would be a bit more cynical, but looking at the likely reality I'm happy to get the game this fall as long as it validates a $60 pricetag. I will take that over waiting another year for any additional content which would merely be a bonus to a hopefully great experience.
Essentially my point is I'm going to wait and see, none of whats been offered gives us any incite into the quality of the game. For me personally that trailer inspired so much excitement because the extent to which they captures the feel of the universe, something the previous games never did as well despite their space battles etc. My main concern is whether it offers a satisfying offline experience as someone who doesn't game online a ton but used to play BF2 with my sibling in local gameplay, thats the type of thing that for me will determine my enjoyment. if someone else enjoyment is determined by space battles or destructible environments then fair enough.
