There's a good game play overview from Jackfrags, he an other youtubers have been over to Sweden to see the game played live.

He can't share everything but he gives and good brake down of what he's seen.

So far it's looking good!!!

My only [concern] is that EA is pretty bad about pre-rendering trailers in 8k/4k and then downscaling them to 1080p.

Although Frostbite DOES look very good, so I dunno.

[concern] New Battlefront trailer looks better than super-pre-alpha footage of FPS module. CiG, please explain.

Battlefront will have no space battles. It will have no bullet drop. It will take place on 4 planets with 1-3 maps on each.

It's reskinned BF4 with an even lower skill ceiling.

YISSSSSSSS

Now we'll have something truly awesome to play while waiting for the Star Citizen PU Beta to go live!

It would be ultra-retarded for them to not include space battles when that was one of the primary selling points of the previous games.
Considering that this is Electronic Arts we're talking about, it's really not very far-fetched.

Wow, man...just...wow.

The concept that you'll be able to dogfight while ground battles are happening below you will be kind of cool a la Planetside 2. But you're absolutely right in that this reeks of wallet rape via DLC. Bummer.
dogfight? I doubt there will be much of that. If X-wings, etc are anything like BF4, there will be a maximum of 2 for each side.


Also, it has been confirmed there will be no single player. At all.

I wish I could buy EA to give each game a 5 year dev cycle while closing down large portions of it to reboot Command and Conquer.
This... doesn't sound so bad.

Should we start crowdfunding, now? I mean, TEST has, what, 5k affiliates? So, with a net value of around $4Bn, that's... uh... each of us need to be put in about a million for this to work...

I like how their trailer included the words "in engine footage" or whatever it was. Not buying that for a second when you look at the graphics.

No space battles? lol? No purchase.

No single player campaign? One of the best parts of the original games was the SP campaign with friends. No purchase.

I imagine the meeting went like this:

"Ok guys Disney has given us license to fucking obliterate the Star Wars game franchise. What should we do first?"

"Well we have Battlefield and thats kinda like that old Battlefront series. Lets do that!"

"Perfect, get some of our top people on it to do nothing. Clone Battlefield 4, put Rebels and Empire in it and ship it next year!"
