Star Wars Battlefront: Official Thread

So this game will be using dx12 on the Xbox One? Is that what those tweets are suggesting?
 
A few teaser images of a stormtrooper went up here:

Damn straight I will be playing it on Xbox One first. DX12 and 60fps? Dayum. I think I just came.
 
I've been hearing rumblings that this game is going to be FPS only, which would be a fail.

Definitely. I want to see all those awesome star wars character models. I'm pretty sure the last one on Xbox had first and third person views.
 
Yeah I heard rumours it was FPS only. I think it's cause EA said it will be their big FPS this fall. Goddamn if it's only FPS only.

Exclusive Battlefront gameplay from Star Wars Celebration may be live streamed
Star-Wars-Battlefront-Gameplay-Live-Stream.jpg

Didn’t get tickets to this year’s Star Wars Celebration in Anaheim, California? Apparently there’s no need to worry, as this year will mark the first time the Star Wars Celebration will be live streamed so that non-attendees can stay in the loop. Verizon and StarWars.com announced their partnership today, promising to cover many of the events for over 30 hours of content.

Included in this live stream will be events surrounding DICE’s upcoming Star Wars Battlefront, which was recently revealed as coming first to Xbox One before PlayStation 4 or PC. When EA first announced Battlefront‘s attendance at the Celebration, it promised that its panel session regarding the game would be available to view online in real-time. But, it remained unclear if that coverage also extended toward the closed-door session that will reveal the world’s first look at Battlefront’s gameplay, considering the concept of a closed-door session means it’s exclusive to the attendees who get to go behind the closed door. Things are looking up for non-attendees, then, or even attendees, as the wording of today’s live stream announcement makes it sound possible that fans worldwide will in fact get a chance to see the same gameplay despite it being touted an exclusive event:

“Additionally, StarWars.com and Verizon will be live streaming the Star Wars Fan Film Awards; the Smuggler’s Bounty radio drama; EA’s new Battlefront videogame; and several other exclusive Celebration events that might otherwise be missed by members from Star Wars’ global fan community.”

It’s possible the announcement simply means to say that EA’s panel discussing Battlefront will feature in the live stream; however, the apparent subject of the live streaming seems to be the game itself, meaning non-attendees may get more than a trailer or bootleg gameplay videos after all.

The Star Wars Celebration runs from Thursday, April 16 to Sunday, April 19. The live stream will lead off with the event’s introductory panel featuring J.J. Abrams and Kathleen Kennedy, the director and producer respectively of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, and also includes interviews with the movie’s actors such as Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher.

EA’s Star Wars Battlefront panel is scheduled for Friday, April 17 at 10:30am PT.

The live stream will be viewable on StarWars.com.

I really am not gonna get hyped up about DX12 and 60fps. Especially with the recent comment from CD Projekt RED about DX12 and of course Phil Spencer himself saying DX12 really isn't going to be all that big for Xbox One. For PC? I bet it will. Now if that tweet had been from DICE themselves, that would be real reason to get hyped.

That Yohan12 guy on NeoGAF is interesting. People had a hard time believing that he played it on X1, but he said he saw the Xbox One console he was using there. He also said 3rd person camera is default. Whatever the case, if it can even look remotely similar to that E3 trailer, 720p/60fps (just assuming here) i'll take it!!!!

He produced an NDA as well, but I suppose he could have faked one..? He's not saying too much but if that is X1 footage ....aww yeah :)
 
If what is being said about DX12 is true, the CPU usage advantages, and it has a decent effect on the XB1 then it might be of decent benefit to Frostbite It should help out with all the destruction physics.
 
Yeah TPS is what makes Battlefront awesome.

Will still be awesome without it though. I can't wait to see the footage!
 
Apparently some dude on Gaf who played it got squeezed into saying it's both third and first person
 
I'd say both have their merits. Third person is fine (I of course played it that way a majority of the time.) but it is a different experience to be in first person next to the walker on Hoth when someone cabled it down, or in the first game, being pinned down on geonosis, then looking back and seeing a gunship fly over and strafe those blasted droidekas.

I'm havin war flashbacks..

There's barely any physics to the destruction in BF, it's all preset and pre determined. There's nothing dynamic about it.

Well, there is dynamic destruction, it's just not physics based :p
The fact that you can target specific areas makes it at least somewhat dynamic. I get your point that it doesn't happen physically though :D
