[quote]DICE has confirmed that Star Wars: Battlefront is not a sequel to Battlefront 2, instead it is the developer’s own interpretation of what Battlefront should be, according to EA Games boss Patrick Söderlund.
“This is DICE’s interpretation of what Battlefront should be. That’s the best description you can have,” he told Eurogamer. “There are absolutely things in the previous Battlefront games that you’ll recognize and remember, but DICE wants to put its own flavor on it. That’s the only way we can do it.
“Hence it’s called Star Wars: Battlefront, without a 3 at the end. We want to say it’s something new. But again, it’s going to be very Star Wars and very cool.”
Star Wars: Battlefront was announced during EA’s E3 press conference. So far no platforms have been confirmed.[/quote]
Thoughts?
-
I'm going to bet it will be Star Wars Battlefield. If it doesn't have third person, I'm going to be pissed.
-
I trust Dice, I think that's enough.
-
Basically following up on their "We don't just want to cash in on the old games" stance, they want to make Battlefront but they want to make it with things we expect from a modern shooter, weapon and class balance, more modes, things like that I'd assume.
-
Just [i]try[/i] and stop everyone from calling it Battlefront 3, Dice. Just try.
-
I just hope that it's fun and unique. I don't want it to be a Battlefield rip off, or stray to far from what it once was.
-
The working title must be Battlefront One.
-
I'm fine with that. But if they screw it up, there's gonna be LOTS of angry gamers on DICE's ass.
-
I'll take it

Good for them less pressure of my favorite developer back
-
So a Battlefield game with Star Wars Skin
-
Well, it i[i][/i]s a reboot, I suppose. I just hope DICE can keep it original and not make it too much more similar to Battlefield. It should still represent the core of the originals for gameplay. Gah, I have a feeling bots and 3rd person won't return.
-
Hey a new Battlefront is better than no Battlefront. I do think it's kind if douchey how they're taking a shit on the franchise by saying "lol no actually we want to do this, not what the fan base wants."
-
Battlefront: Battlefield You gotta love how EA bought the developer of Battlefront when they aquired Bioware, shut them down, and then get the Battlefront license.
-
I.....I know....but I'll probably buy it anyway.
-
[quote] instead it is the developer’s own interpretation of what Battlefront should be[/quote] Oh so a generic Battlefield game with Star Wars skins, that sounds fun.
-
This is EXACTLY why I didn't want Dice to make it...All they're going to do is make Battlefield and slap on a Star Wars skin and call it Battlefront. This makes me sad as I've yet to ever like the feel of a Battlefield game...It's just going to kill it for me.
-
Jesus -blam!- if they're letting DICE make it to their interpretation it's going to rip everything off of CoD.
-
I have a feeling this is gonna piss the fans off. Unfortunately I never played the first two, so I don't know whether this is good news or not.
-
Who cares, I want it in my 360..... NOW!
-
So what if it's not a sequel? I'm damn sure it'll feel like one.They know everyone wants Battlefront 3. Failing to do that would just be plain dumb on DICE's part.
-
I trust DICE to do the right thing.
-
Shit. I really hope they don't make it a re-skinned Battlefield.
-
The only difference I see is in the name.
-
I'm going to expect the worst from this. That way, I won't get very disappointed.
-
Dice will make it good
