Honestly I think Disney should tear up their exclusivity contract with EA and even sue EA for damaging the Star Wars brand. Closing down LucasArts was the worst thing they could have ever done if they wanted to make tons of money from Star Wars games. EA is on route to irrevocably destroying the future of Star Wars gaming.

Battlefront could be better for sure, too arcadey. They need to drop the child audience, make the game for adults, killing people looks like when people get shot in spaghetti westerns. They should make it more gritty, more bloody, less cartoony.

Disney ruined the star wars brand, EA was just trying to grab some cheese before the whole IP became the dumpster fire it is now.

I'm totally looking forward to the next sw movie where everybody is a jedi and the only rational people in the galaxy are women and children while men are constantly victims of their own masculinity.

Way to go making a really convincing antagonist in edgelord Gene Simmons.

Nah dude, steer clear of sw ubi. If anything put resources into an open world FH game.

Exactly, as a fan of SW I rather see open world FH then another crap SW game.

I disagree. The OG Battlefront was great fun sure, but if you compare it to EAs battlefront 2, it doesn’t hold a candle. OG heroes was just copied and pasted, no diversity and gameplay was a little bland. But now, SWBF2 heroes all play differently, are pretty well balanced and the gameplay is exciting and intense. The graphics are amazing, and the game is genuinely fun. It’s a shame that the micro transaction scandal really put a damper on the game and stopped many from buying it, but the loot boxes never made it into the final game and got removed days before release. EA hopefully learnt their lesson, but they far from destroyed the brand and it’s unfair to say that. SWBF2 is incredibly entertaining, and has free DLC, Clone wars content coming, etc.

I can apreciate people that have fun with them, I'm not holding it against anyone. I can only say these games are not for me, which is kind of crazy because I am a huge Star Wars fan that has played damn near every single Star Wars game since Dark Forces. EA's Star Wars Battlefront 1 and 2 are just bland and boring to me whereas the Original Battlefronts were entertaining and kept me playing them for years. To me EA's Star Wars just feels like a corporate by-the-numbers cash grab like the Call of Duty games.

There's much less creativity in them than the original Battlefronts and there's been no evolution nor improvement of the mechanics. In fact I feel like it's a regretion in many ways; from there being no stationary vehicles and ships physically on the map to seamlessly climb into - which absolutely kills the fun in movie scenarios such as the battle of Hoth, Endor, upcoming Geonosis, etc. No spaceship boarding gameplay, no Galactic Conquest type mode and no improvement over the lightsaber wielding heroes' weapon clash mechanics - they're still very much just two plastic figurines generically whacking at each other until one of them dies. For a super massive triple A title that launched in 2017 you'd think they could have done a better melee combat system than a much smaller studio's game from 2005. The only thing that is impressive about the EA games are the graphics in my opinion. I still play the original battlefronts mind and I enjoy them more. EA's Battlefronts just aren't my cup of tea.

As for the company itself, well EA have become one of gaming's worst companies and to have given them exclusive rights to Star Wars indefinitely is nothing short of a travesty as far as I'm concerned. The only reason BF2 employed a fairer DLC and loot box system is because of the huge backlash that they themselves provoked with their sheer avarice, arrogance and apathy towards their customers. Your wallet would be getting skinned alive trying to simply play that game normally if EA had gotten their way.

There are far better studios out there that would be capable of creating a brilliant and truly creative Star Wars game. It's a great shame we'll never get to see that as long as EA hogs the rights while continuing to kill companies they bought out like Viceral who were working on a very promising story driven Star Wars game - until EA killed it. EA may not be the death knell for Star Wars gaming as a whole but as long as they're holding the exclusive rights Star Wars games will continue to be nothing more than the gaming equivalent of mass market McDonalds happy meals.

I bought the ea star wars game and never play it. Random micro and all the walking without jetpacks to speed things up got old real quick. I do agree that star wars with for honor games mechanics for the jedi/sith would be cool. Giant battle or open world..id buy either one provided the micro was like for honors.

Yeah I get where you are coming from. The original battlefronts had me hooked and playing for years too, when I first started gaming. I still can’t get over the campaign of Battlefront 2 one of the best I’ve played. The emotion is real: I know it follows the 501st legion, which was under Anakins command, but is it considered canon, do you know?

The no stationary vehicles or ships to get into, I can understand. Battlefield used to have that, but it resulted in the enemy team landing in spawn and then flying off in your teams helo/jet, which massively affected your teams chance at the game. I think EA and dice did the same for their version of battlefront, and while I miss that immersive part about it, I can live with it.

I do admit I miss Galactic conquest and boarding enemy ships, something which I hope returns later this year or when they release the next Battlefront next year, to go with the next movie.

With the heroes, I see your point too. Saber v saber isn’t much more than spam attack and hope for the best, but saber v infantry is where the skill shines. It’s hard to survive and get a streak going unless your proficient with the hero or villain.

One can only hope the backlash they received made them realise and remember they’ve been voted worst company before, and they can’t pull it again.
