Am I the only one that thinks Battlefront 2 plays too similarly to Battlefield?

That's the problem with the new Battlefront games. They're basically reskinned Battlefield. If you like Battlefield and Star Wars, Battlefront is a dream come true. Anybody hoping for a game that feels distinctly Star Wars is definitely going to be disappointed though. They abandoned what made the original Battlefront games great, and opted for the popular shooter style of the decade.



 

So, nothing really interesting to see for me. Rehash sports titles, sequels to nfs and bf. One original coop game. And that's it.

Sooo ... EA are fierce to give us the game we deserved in the first place, in it's sequel. I mean, their speech is hyping up stuff that other games were doing way before that : Weapon and class customization, more characters from the Star Wars universe, story mode,etc ...

The real neat thing about this is the no paid DLC this time around ...(or not)

It is going Microsofts way Free DLC but you can buy packs for custom items/cards with ingame credits or real money (I prefer it above a season pass).

To be fair, it sounds like they are keeping some of the basic content hostage to just release it afterwards as free DLC and look good while doing it.



You know it deserves the GOTY.

I knew I wasn't the only one. This game is TOO BF Hardline-ish. The dogfights in particular are EXACTLY like BF3. Battlefront 2 is a bit faster, but the game as a whole doesn't feel unique at all like you said.

At least Nintendo is getting some love from the sports franchise that was still releasing on 360/PS3 with FIFA '17.



 

Multiplayer looks a lot more improved.
Need for speed looked meh.
NBA Live 18 just copied NBA2Ks mycareer and park. Will probably only play it with ea access.
Madden 18 looked good and i like how it will have scorpio support.
A Way Out looked interesting.
The new Bioware game was just a teaser.
BF1 comp could be cool.
Pretty bad and cringy though so ill say 4/10.
