DICE’s Jesper Nielsen has taken to Reddit to clear up some points on Star Wars: Battlefront after the game’s big reveal this weekend.
As we reported, DICE are quite keen to point out Battlefront is more than a re-skinned Battlefield:
Just remember that we never wanted this to be a Battlefield re-skin or a continuation of Battlefront 2. We’ve clearly stated that we are rebooting the Battlefront series and that we’re not just doing Star Wars Battlefield. We want to make sure we create a super solid and strong foundation, which provides an immersive and long-lasting experience.
He then addressed a user who thinks DICE will “destroy” the much-loved franchise.
Look, I get that people are disappointed over the lack of features found in e.g. Battlefront 2, but remember that we’re not building Battlefront 3 here, but creating a new game from scratch.
I still sincerely believe that once you get your hands on this game, you will greatly enjoy it, and it will feel both like a Battlefront and Star Wars game. That’s what matters the most, right?
He went on to say the game also looks great on Xbox One.
I’m sorry, but I simply can’t go into too much detail on these things. Yes, it looks great on Xbox One as well. But if you want me to start specifying if XB1 and PS4 versions look identical, etc., that’s a level of detail I just can’t go into yet. Remember it’s also still in development; there’s a lot of months to go with optimizations, tweaks and polish.
What I can say though, as a personal prediction: I think this will be one of the most beautiful games, if not the most beautiful game, on all three platforms when it launches. Remember that’s just my personal prediction, not a fact (e.g. I don’t know how other games will look by then, etc.)
Lastly, he promised that actual gameplay trailers will “come in due time.”
It will come in due time. What do you expect me to do, drop a gameplay clip right here and now because you ask for it? : P
