I think this thread has run its course mods. We ran out of rail to chug out.


Translation: "This train didn't go where I was hoping it would. Stop the train. STOP the TRAIN! STOP THE TRAIN, DAMMIT!!!"

That was page 4.  We are now proudly on page 11.

Not really. It reads where are the mods to get people back on topic.

As you can see, even you can post unrelated topics and have fun this mess. Enjoy the thread.


Or maybe you're mad because you don't have a toy train to play with on the tracks. Then again, maybe you do have a toy train, but mistakenly brought it to a real train station.  Just saying.

I'm trying not derail this thread I would appreciate if you don't do it as well.

We already got a mod chime in, so I don't want the next intervention to be a locking one.

People got back on track and this train chugging along.

I did play Battlefront 1, 2, and Renegade Squadron (Best one).  I also played BF2 on PS2 a few years after playing the Battlefront games and said "Wow this is the exact same thing."

They are both class-based 24-64 player shooters with vehicles and conquest.  The.  Same.


Except of course Battlefront is primarily 3rd person and doesn't really play anything like Battlefield.


Omg it plays exactly like it.  Oh and is 3rd person your primary concern?  Because BF1 and 2 were 3rd AND 1st person depending on your settings.  Oh guess what Battlefront allows the same option.  Problem solved! :)



Prediction for console Lifetime sales:

Wii:100-120 million, PS3:80-110 million, 360:70-100 million

[Prediction Made 11/5/2009]

3DS: 65m, PSV: 22m, Wii U: 18-22m, PS4: 80-120m, X1: 35-55m

I gauruntee the PS5 comes out after only 5-6 years after the launch of the PS4.

Dude, I've put so much time into both of those games. I actually still have Battlefront 2 and play it from time to time.

The gameplay itself is just so different. Saying the two are the same is like saying Halo and COD are the same.



Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.

EA Access is the app that is going to hurt Sony in the long run. They had the opportunity to have it and turned it down. So to be fair they asked for it. When more releases come out in the future like the next Crysis or Dead Space game, its really going to benefit Xbox a lot.


A different user said it already in this thread:

"Don't forget that their job is to make money, and to find new ways to make more money."

This applies to all companies, no exception. Sony saying "we don't see value for our customers" has to be read like "we didn't see how this will bring us more money so we left it out but say it so to keep our face to loyal customers".

If it really hurts them, we have to see. I doubt it because Sony can do what they want as a market leader and many people will follow them, no matter what they do (to a certain extent). This won't change this gen, Sony will easily win WW because of Europe and Japan where Xbox doesn't even have the slightest chance.

I agree, PS brand is just more popular choice world wide however being the market leader doesnt normally mean you get what you want. SW-BF is a prime example of them leading the sales race, doesnt matter how many PS4s has sold, EA will release it on X1 first because of the $$$ of EA Access. Also like you mentioned before, if theres no money in it they will drop it or turn a blind eye to it. MS are quite a wealthy brand, even if they were last place they will spend more to achieve there goals like there doing with TR and SW and possibly alot more future titles.

May I ask your honest opinion of EA?

I don't really have a strong opinion when it comes to EA. I don't play a ton of the games they publish anymore, but that's not on purpose.

1) I played the living crap out of BFI and II, you do not have a trademark on being a fan of the orignals.  I loved them to death.  Guess what though?  They are insanely similar to Battlefield lol.

 

2) I had to ask that other question because frankly it has been my experience that 75% of the people giving Battlefront crap are just part of those morons that hate on EA.  Imo a game is a game and the publisher is irrelevant.

battlefront is 1st person... go to steam, reinstall the game and look if default is 3rd or 1st person... and it plays alot like bf.  the gameplay is realy close to vietnam.

sure the single player is a little bit different, swbf2 uses mp maps like bf, but they have some objectives and stuff in swbf2.

the galcon mode is a new, but its basicly the bf singleplayer with a realy simple overview map. (they even cut some parts in swbf2)

SWBF isnt just a BF game with star wars skins, but its heavyly influenced of BF, and thats something GOOD. bf42 and bfnam are 2 of the greatest fps ever made.
