Battlefront 3
Masterpiece:
I hate to remind you, but it's EA. It's going to suck.
I really wish it doesn't.
LeeC:
I dunno, its by the same team who made Bad company 2 and BF3 and they are awesome. EA is just publishing it.
Masterpiece:
Well I'll be frank, I see this video as nothing more than "so ok, we bought the Star Wars rights, now we have to show our stock holders that we're actually doing something with this." Is there any gameplay out? Chances are this thing was whooped up in a month.
LeeC:
I fail to see you're point. It was public knowledge that work was being done with battlefront 3 the same month disney closed down lucas arts and that it had been in development by DICE instead (as the teaser showed). Them showing the teaser is less for the stock holders and more to rile up interest to probably start a viral marketing campaign as this is a highly beloved series. I can see you're pessimism based on EA's track record but considering that this game is pretty much battlefield (one of their successful franchises) with star wars I think DICE and EA can deliver. And if they did whip this teaser up in a month, who cares? As long as the game itself doesnt seem thrown together than what does it matter?
Masterpiece:
It's just that videos like these are just empty promises, it's obvious that it's been pre-rendered. So what are they showing? 20 seconds of what I assume is the fight for Hoth, in a perspective from which nothing can be seen in detail.
Yes this is a hype video. And that's what is disturbing me so much about it. I've been hyped by EA before, they're good at that. What they are not good at is to actually deliver on the vague promises they give their customers. For the longest time, EA claimed that they were building Battlefield 3 with a PC first mentality, only to redact that statement shortly before publishing the game.
The thing I'm just trying to say is that I am not willing to give EA the benefit of the doubt anymore. They messed up way too often, and I would be super pissed if they messed this up too. I love Star Wars, but seeing it in EAs greedy hands just makes me incredibly sad.
