We were so close to greatness. Fuck this world
>>729203758Can't believe Free Radical was working on Wii. port as well.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iNLILrbrO58
>>729203758I'm sure it would have been better than EA slop but I do wonder how they would have made the seamless ground to space gameplay work. I think they might have bitten off more than they could chew which is why it was scrapped. Maybe with today's tech it could work.
>>729203758>Maybe with today's tech it could workThey could but they never will because they wont sacrifice graphical fidelity for it. The EAfront games can barely handle basic vehicle physics because everything else needs to look pretty
>>729204262It was in the Wii version of one of the leaked builds, maps were like big cylinders that you could fly up and down on to do either ground objectives or space ones
imagine how much money battlefront as a franchise could have printed money for lucasfilm if they never jewed out for disney
>>729203758It was total glogged. Elite Squadron on the PSP was the handheld version and it sucked. The leaked builds have all also been shit. EA's Battlefront games mogged and we got the best outcome.
you can't top perfection
>>729204434Ray tracing is supposed to fix this. Too bad it requires the lowest common denominator to at least have 4070 tier graphics which won't happen for another decade
Perma-cancel Half Life 3 and give that 3 to Battlefront.
>>729205020>ea raping battlefront's corpse for 10 years >aspyr joining in to rape it even further and demolish any hope of a resurgence of the old games
I tried playing EA BFII on PS4 for free from PS+... it was fucking slower than Halo
>>729203758>no KotOR 3>no Jedi Knight 3>no BF3>no TFU 3>no Imperial Commando>no Podracer 3>no 1313What the fuck happened to LucasArts in the late 00s?
I think that there was one of the final death tolls of all of gaming. So much good games came from lucasarts.
>>729209932*death knellsThat fits better.
>>729204637Absolutely not. Even if the EA battlefront games were better than what we would have gotten (I really doubt it), the cause for BF3's canning was was the disney acquisition, and with that the entire universe of star wars games that was being built on was completely thrown out. This mean 1313 and who knows what else in the future. On top of this all new projects were built on the restrictive nu-canon, which they seem to walk on eggshells with. It's a totally different thing now.
>>729208070Executive meddling + the knowledge that they were about to be sold to Disney and would be broken upNotably with 1313 Lucas forced them to change the protagonist to Boba Fett at the last minute.https://web.archive.org/web/20250921105429/https://kotaku.com/how-lucasarts-fell-apart-1401731043
anyone else likes battlefront 2 more on the psp / handhelds than the pc version which plays more like your shitty (f/t)ps
>>729204262the final psp battlefront game did ground to space in the same game. it wasn't seamless as you had to load when moving between them but they weren't separate modes like 2
>>729210419Battlefront 3 was scrapped and released as Elite Squadron because Free Radical had shat up development and LucasArts lost all faith in them after seeing Haze.
>>729203758>Luke hearing the echoes of the duel on Mustafar and RoTS as he searches for X1We could have had peak damn it.
>>729210995A small price to pay for the preservation of the creative potential of the IP in my view. A world was lost.
>>729204690>huge open portion for large vehicle pushes>everyone clusters around the tunnel to spam grenades insteadthis map was dumb, I loved it
>>729204690fun times
>>729203758>hype the fuck out of Battlefront 2 again in May>shit going viral on social media>everyone's playing again>"oh shit BF3 gunna come out">....>Battlefield 6 comes out instead
>>729212176It was a Disney-coordinated marketing push for the ROTS re-releasing. The confusing thing about it was that they then immediately kneecapped the re-release by pushing it out of theaters to make room for Thunderbolts
>>729210494>the knowledge that they were about to be sold to Disney and would be broken upThat wasn't until later.
>>729208070They'd already been on the decline since the early 2000s.
