Hell yes - at last battlefront on a modern console
Better graphics but same gameplay PLEASE

 

[x-pack]

Online will be awesome. Loved the first two but they were a bit repetitive. With a few tweaks this could be awesome

 

[Dark Sith Lord]

Awesome news! 8)

 

[Grant_C]

This is great news.

When Disney first took over they cancelled stuff and it was a bit worrying.

Now this and REBELS, things are looking real exciting!

 

[PIGCITY]

I still play 1 & 2 every month ****ing love them. I just hope they don't make the controls too fiddly though.

I may have to but a new console though as I still play on a PS2

Liked the first one. Didn't really care too much for the second one. The flying missions were just TOO crap but looking forward to the third instalment for the Xbox. 8)

Yeah know what you mean I just skip those. The first one was a lot more fun i thought

Couldnt agree more Grant. Big fan of the first one myself 8)

 

[Richard_H]

Liked both. Took a little longer to get into BF2 and I never play as the Jedi.

 

[JuniorChubb]

Thought I would post this to wet the appetite...

I'm not sure but think this is not the BF3 footage from what we're getting. Isn't this bits of what they had when it cancelled?

 

[JuniorChubb]

Come on Rich, you don't think that Chubb is a disinformation agent do you? :wink:

This is straight from the EA website, I was going to post some in game footage but from what I could find anything that was 100% BF3 ingame footage, most of it is what you have mentioned, the previous incarnations of the game.

I don't think this is in-game footage but it is a legit trailer.

And not before time!

By modern standards, BF I+II are pretty basic but all the better for it without masses of fiddly controls and eye-watering graphics. It's just pick up and blatblat, great fun. The flying sections were lame, just bomb the flagship, yawn... next round. Far better to have them more like Rogue Squadron, played the Battle over Endor mission zapping squadrons of TIEs over and over. Marvellous.

Did anyone play as the 'Heroes' in BF? Surely the best bit was being a basic grunt on a mission to rack up the body-count! With a couple of mates, we would spend hours on conquest campaigns and maxing the skills, or just goofing about as snipers etc.

Not often I get excited about a video game release, but this is excellent news, thanks for posting it up JC!

 

[TC-14]

I'll be honest, I haven't played video games since owning a ZX Spectrum... but that footage (and Junior's enthusiasm) has got me reeled back in again :lol:

 

[JuniorChubb]

:lol: :lol: Whooop whoop whooop

Can't wait for this, I got into COD for a while. It becomes a bit life consuming. I had to give it up when I found myself shouting at the missus if she didn't charge my headset for when I got home from work. and COD was just an average game, if they get BF3 right I will have to ditch SWFUK as it will get in the way of BF3 time...

Fingers crossed :?

And one more row of excited smilies....

:shock: 8) :lol: :wink: :mrgreen: :shock: 8) :lol: :wink: :mrgreen: :wink: :lol: 8) :shock: :wink: :mrgreen: :lol: 8) :lol: :mrgreen: :wink: :lol:

Now only that but it will be next gen too, this might make them hold back on some ideas and concentrate on the core of the game, making sure it is spot on rather than filling it with gimmicks.

I'm with you there

But do still have a GameCube with some SW games tucked away upstairs,

Old git warning :!:

Must admit the graphics now are bloody amazing and think it may be time to look into this once more
I've got to admit...don't fancy the online side of things though, but did used to like playing any game that involved flying a SW ship and blasting the shite out of the bad guys

Not SW but remember years ago getting addicted to a game called star fox , liked that a lot

 

[Nick_IoW]

Now if only they could revamp X-Wing vs TIE-Fighter.... cos that would be freakin awesome with todays multiplayer capabilities. I used to like flying up inside the star destroyers

 

[Grant_C]

Yeah- X-Wing Alliance was sooooooooo good. :mrgreen:

 

[.Q.]

Yeah Michael, Starfox was a classic.
Speaking of 'old git' alerts, was it on Rogue Squadron 3 that had the arcade games on it? Good old school whizz-bang fun.

Only played X-wing / Tie fighter very briefly, yup an update is long overdue.

Surely a SW mmo would be hugely successful, along the lines of Eve or Battlestar Galatica online? hmm...
