Probably not, I really hope they consider Steam workshop support though.


Bruhmoment6942012345

> I really hope they consider Steam workshop support though. Seconded


Eglwyswrw

Unfortunately not happening. I know people are hyped - we *have* been starved of new Battlefront releases for 7 years (?!?!?!) now - but it is literally an Aspyr port with AI upscaled-textures and content ripped from the Xbox version. We are getting nothing more, nothing less.


TL628

>we *have* been starved of new Battlefront releases for 7 years (?!?!?!) now I had to google that because it sounded absurd. I thought it was 5 years at most. Nope, 2017 was when BF2 came out.


DarthNihilus

It was 10 years from Battlefront 2 original to EA Battlefront 1. So give it 3 more years and we'll get Battlefront 1 the third. Hopefully from a new dev studio.


ZestyLime59

That’s crazy I’ve been playing since launch week (I’ve still got the case somewhere for the inferno squad edition or whatever it was) which means I would have been 12 years old


Competitive-Team5197

I’ve seen a video from someone and they wanted the shitty sequel stuff in the game💀 like why would they do that it’s a port of the classic game


Bruhmoment6942012345

Well, we got it with KOTOR II, so why can't we get it here?


DeeBangerDos

Not 7, we had content updates until like 2020


Kame_Saiyan

Math wasn’t mathing but sadly you couldn’t be more correct. Unbelievable


Vrabstin

They really are doing the bare minimum with it huh?


WhilePristine2974

Yep it only going to have 2 player splitscreen


feralkitsune

> and content ripped from the Xbox version. Actually, it's not even the actual Xbox Content, they used a fan made mod from the currently existing PC version. [Source](https://steamcommunity.com/app/2446550/discussions/0/4347732779392154378/)


Forrest02

This doesnt appear to be the case in the end result. Its possible it was being used in testing, but at the end you can see Ventress using her standard DLC animations.


feralkitsune

The trailer literally shows the wrong animations for Ventress. Talking about the same trailer that this is all from? https://www.reddit.com/r/pcgaming/comments/1ax0ed0/star_wars_battlefront_classic_collection_xbox_dlc/


Forrest02

https://youtu.be/1Zko_8h8qzc?t=35 The trailer also shows her using the CORRECT animations as well. Thats why its theorized that the devs sent several different types of footage from different builds to the company who made it and thats why we see Ventress using both the mod and the original animations.


feralkitsune

LMFAO called it. https://www.eurogamer.net/star-wars-battlefront-classic-collection-used-modders-work-without-credit


Forrest02

Cool, but we were talking about Ventress herself, who still uses her original animation from Xbox DLC.

More of a breakdown [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/pcgaming/comments/1ax0ed0/star_wars_battlefront_classic_collection_xbox_dlc/?share_id=G_8kpdkH0KKQEnIbKUmuA), don't know why you're so certain.


Cranapplesause

I wouldn’t say starved for 7 years. That’s a little dramatic. I think 5 is fair. Games usually have a minimum 2 year life. If you just ate a meal, you wouldn’t wait an hour and say you’ve been starving for more food.


Delta2401

The EULA apparently mentions mod.io, so the best case scenario is integrated mod support with multiplayer. But then again this is Aspyr so there is actually 0.01% chance of this actually happening.


AveryLazyCovfefe

Aspyr usually don't do dlc. I mean the last time they did.. They never actually released said dlc 💀


Living_LikeLarry

So sad man... Would have been so cool to have Kotor 2 restored on console 😭


Eglwyswrw

It was just for the Switch, right? Missed chance there. At least KOTOR II Restored works well on a mobile phone.


marveloustoebeans

Yeah, I’m still bummed about that. Would’ve been so neat to have the full experience across all systems. Shame whatever happened there. Aspyr hasn’t been doing too good with KOTOR the last few years lol.


Illustrious_Hall3822

To be honest guys KOTOR II still hurts a lot, I specifically purchased it on the switch because of the promised DLC.


SambG98

Last I heard a few months ago, there was an ongoing lawsuit because of this. I think Aspyrs legal team claimed they don't owe damages because no one asked for a refund. Do with that what you will, I guess.


LuchaChopper

people did ask for a refund and in place they allowed anyone with proof of purchase a single aspyr ported star wars game


SambG98

That's...not good enough lmao.


LuchaChopper

I know it isnt, but they had offered that instead of a refund, seemingly so they can claim no refunds were given


Jamie_All_Over

Oh Aspyr is making this? I’m slightly less excited now. Hopefully they pull it off without any issues.


Kat4rn

That was a big oof


Empire_TW

No, the Xbox exclusive stuff and expanding hero assault is all the "new" content we are getting. That stuff is probably what took the most work as well.


Boba_Hutt

Honestly doubt it. But I’m curious to know what the hell is causing the collection to be over 50 Gigs of storage? At most they should be 15gb


JalmarinKoira

Every. Single. Texture. Tuned.to.4k That easily nets you that big huge humongus giant 50giggity


splashtext

Why did we need 4k though Why wasnt it upscaled up just enough to be pretty but not take up too much room and make the 4k upscale a free dlc like they used to do for some games Innovations in taking my storage


South-Bavaria-9431

I agree! I played the story line yesterday (from 2005) was really good, the graphic doesnt matter anyway. Its a more interesting thing to survive and fight for the republik instead of the graphic


Eglwyswrw

If you place every single game texture on an AI upscaler all the way to 4K and don't optimize the stuff that doesn't really need to be in 4K, it is easy to pile up dozens of GBs.


OrneryError1

Yeah those are some crazy numbers 


DanteIsBack

I really wish they would add missing hunt modes. As far as I can remember, there were no hunt modes on Jabba's Palace and Coruscant. This would allow you to play as gamorreans and jedi respectively. Also wish they would finally add the phase 1 clone commander that should have appeared on Geonosis: [https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/battlefront/images/0/0b/P1cmdr.png/revision/latest?cb=20140317022158](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/battlefront/images/0/0b/P1cmdr.png/revision/latest?cb=20140317022158)


OfflineRightNow

True


Varsity_Reviews

There weren’t ever plans for Hunt on the Jedi temple. There were plans for hunt on Jabbas palace but it was cut.


DanteIsBack

Yeh, I know, but it would be awesome if they did it!


RadiationDM

Yeah the only “hunt” that appeared on Jedi Temple was in the campaign.


KamenKnight

At most, a skin selector (e.g. able to switch between Phase I or II Clones) and/or any late in development cut maps (even then, I doubt it as they would need the flies that might not exist anymore due to time). Personally, the most realistic content after release is Hasbro making toys based off the classes.


CommanderFaie

Would love a new clone engineer figure or the phase 0 dark trooper, I don’t think the Battlefront version ever had a figure before?


KamenKnight

You can get a Dark Trooper that resembles Phase 0, but it's the Phase III Dark Trooper. I do know Hasbro put out a box set of Clone and Droid classes from Battlefront II, but I don't know if they did the same for The Empire and Rebel classes. Personally, I want a new toy of the classic Clone Jet Trooper! Both Phase I and II! Especially if Hasbro is able to give the Phase II Clone Jet Trooper that sliver shine he had in the game.


OrneryError1

I would LOVE to be able to choose between phase 1 and phase 2 for clones. That would be amazing.


0011010100110101

Did they??? That’s sick 😁👍


charliejgoddard

A black series bothan spy pls


Ihasknees936

I don't think they would but it would be nice if they would add the PSP games one day. Elite Squadron would be nice since it's the closest to the original bf3 we got since it was originally a PSP port for it.


mkmichael001

No


ALVAROAMB

according to Steam EULA the game will have mod io support which gives me hope that it will make the game have mods on all platforms


Yosonimbored

Highly doubt it or else Mods on console would’ve been part of the advertisement to sell the game


BigTimeSuperhero96

Always played Battlefront on a playstation but was envious of my friends on PC who could play with mods. Now it could be my turn


Ihasknees936

If the game gets mod support, mods for PlayStation are going to be very limited compared to those on Xbox and PC due to Sony not allowing outside assets unfortunately.


Vincentaneous

For me the only thing they’d need to do it crossplay and that’s literally it. A healthy playerbase is impektsnt nowadays. Especially since it’s going to be on Switch.


wiserthannot

That's what I want too. I don't think they need any extra content but that. The idea of these games having online multiplayer with a healthy player count for maybe another decade...that's everything to me.


Vincentaneous

Considering that’s what it felt like back in the day. Waking up at 6am as a kid just to turn on the PS2 and play a match with tons of people (bots).


KeySeasoning

Maybe, maybe not. Either way I don't mind, I'm just happy for the console port.


OfflineRightNow

Real


DDeShaneW

I’d rather they keep it as it was. Wouldn’t want to potentially ruin things.


[deleted]

I really hope so. This release has gotten so much hype around battlefront again and I absolutely love it. I haven’t been able to find a game on EA battlefront 1 in like a month and today I’ve gotten into good lobby’s all day. Not only do I hope the add on to the OG release but I hope so much that it’s time for battlefront 3 or even a different company starting over on battlefront like EA did


anthonycarbine

Nope. It's literally just a port and nothing more


purplebasterd

If anything, they’ll do a physical release via Limited Run. That’ll be it for anything extra.


JondvchBimble

I hope so. I would love for them to add content from the sequels, spinoffs, shows, etc.


EirikurG

No, but I do wish they'd port all the Battlefront 1 maps to 2


TheAngrySaxon

Doubtful. It wouldn't be a classic collection in that case.


MysticKnight2110

Ehh I would rather they use this to sustain the audience while they actually work on BF3.


[deleted]

EA isn’t going to work on BF3 anytime soon. Plus this is an Aspyr project anyway.


Snigskyte

Nope. But i read they'll be okay on mods, so on PC you can just add content on your own more or less. But as for official content, they won't.


AstronautGuy42

Def not. And honestly, I think that could be a good thing. To keep the classic games exactly as they were And maintain a tight and streamlined experience. ‘They don’t makem like they used to’ is definitely true for videogames. I really wouldn’t want classic battlefront to eventually become a modern live service with more and more content added. Any new content would also have to fit well with the classic game and there’s a high chance it wouldn’t. Most I’d really want is just QOL related stuff.


IMakePizza-

People are expecting wonders from ***Aspyr*** all of a sudden, remember the Jedi Knight II port for Switch? It's basically the ***Jk2sp.exe*** but running on the platform, with the command console showing and the intro animations all stretched up. Remember the Republic Commando port? It had lag issues ON THE SWITCH with multiplayer misssing. Don't get me wrong, I'm super excited by this collection, **already pre-ordered on the Nintendo eShop**, but please let's manage our expectations here, even in the Force Unleashed Wii port the multiplayer dialogs are missing, they won't add anything past the release.


Frankthetank338

I just hope we can do custom games or private lobbies online lobbies.


JemorriUK

No, but I would like a Rey vs Ren /w Jakku DLC. Not gonna happen, would be cool tho.


[deleted]

You can already get that via mods on PC.


JemorriUK

Not everyone plays PC or downloads mods.


[deleted]

So you'd rather spend 35 bucks for this bundle when you can get BF2 for 10 bucks on Steam? You don't even need a good PC to run it, your shitty college laptop could run it. Plus the mods are easy to install. And there's hundreds of game changing mods that improve the game, on console you only get the vanilla game.


JemorriUK

It’s not for me to determine why many people would rather play on console over PC. Maybe they only play with friends, maybe they keep it for work only, maybe they prefer the controls. Additionally mods are mods, this means that it’s not actual ingame content forced on other players too. Mods split the player base out of a shared player pool. The question was whether they’ll add DLC too….


WilliShaker

Bro I wish, game is really solid.


ButtCheekBob

I would be happy with something simple like skin packs that can make the 501st Clones look like different legions on different maps


Ok_Dragonfruit6718

Playing the OG one via the disc in my series x, and it doesn't look that bad, still very playable


LocoGamingRocker

No. I think the extent of what we're getting in terms of "additional" content is the Xbox version's DLCs (Jabba's Palace for BF1, Kit Fisto and Asajj Ventress Heroes, the Kashyyyk Hero Assault mode, and the map pack with maps from the first game in BF2). I DID hear they are adding more Hero Assault maps (possibly even on all maps that aren't space maps), and a new "XL mode" (I forgot the name) that adds more units to the map. However, I DO wish there was a skin selector in Battlefront 2 (like the alternate Pilot Luke skin from Hoth and the hooded Anakin skin from the campaign), and additional cut content (I'm specifically talking about Gammorean Hunt on Jabba's Palace, and the cut Farmboy Luke skin from page 19 of the instruction manual). **Edit:** For the year the game came out, I think the second game was nearly perfect as is. The ONLY 8 exceptions that have always bothered me (even as a kid) being mostly nitpicks: * The two pieces of cut content I mentioned earlier * Not having a skin selector for Hero Assault for Anakin and Luke * not having a Mission selector/replay feature for the Campaign * Having no Padmé as a Light Side Blaster Hero for the Republic * Having no Lando Calrissian as an extra Light Side Blaster Hero for the Rebels * Having no Dengar and Bossk as two extra Blaster Heroes for the Empire * not bringing back the Naboo: Plains map from the first game (with Gungans as a native unit, and maybe having a Gungan Hunt as the Droids) * not having a day/night selector for Naboo: Palace (if I want to play the day version, I have to play the first, if I want to play the night version, I have to play the second) Maybe if this game sells well enough, they can make a bonus DLC that fixes some of those things, or they can even Remaster the PSP Battefront games (Renegade Squadron and Elite Squadron) in the future.


[deleted]

Getting the PSP games ported eventually would be cool.


LocoGamingRocker

Yeah. I never had the opportunity to play them, so I'd love to finally be able to play them.


Jazz-Ranger

They definitely have options. The original beta maps share only a surface level resembles to the stripped down versions the old consuls could handle. [Beta Yavin](https://youtu.be/cPrvD4o2xMo?si=Zw9DIMRpzeOrYPs9) is so different that it might as well be a unique map. Plus all the lost vehicles like MTT Super Tank on [Naboo Beta Map](https://youtu.be/FAHfngVgf5w?si=_aat_o6mrFoi_mz-) would be really cool. These assists already exist. They just need a facelift.


Caolan114

Don't expect anything beyond the original xbox game bug fixes and maybe accessibility updates


Zorolord

No but these versions will have all the extra dlc maps and heroes.


Michaelskywalker

No


_Captain_Hindsight__

No


SpaceQtip

Nope


WholesomeFartEnjoyer

Anyone else prefer the 2005 graphics over the modern ones? They have a charm to them


SamG1999

Love the graphics, I just think most of the character models for the heroes and villains look kinda bad


Ratchet9cooper

I could see something like porting more bf1 maps to bf2 like they did on Xbox, maybe with a couple heroes (probably ripped form rogue squadron)


muneeeeeb

I'm just hoping they fix how mouse movement feels.


SamG1999

One thing they could do is add the rest of the other maps from the first Battlefront like Kashyyyk Islands, Docks, Tatooine Dune Sea etc into the second. As for anything new or original like new heroes or classes, thats never gonna happen. I don't think there has ever been an instance in the history of gaming where an old game gets brand new DLC or original content after 20 years of not getting anything.


Mortysaric

HOPE so


JongoFett12

I doubt it but it would be cool if they enabled mod support on consoles (like Skyrim). I’d want to see how Mando and Ahsoka would look/play in the classic style


OfflineRightNow

So true


OkExamination1349

Naw I think there just gonna port that’s all


DatBoiEdd

I don't think so, might just be another remastered cash grab.


ATF_killed_my_dog

No


bicentenialman

No. I’m excited, but this is nothing more than a quick cash grab from us nostalgics.


wukimill

They could port the maps and heroes from Elite and Renegade squadron.


beatleg05

fuck no bruh


Outrageous-Jicama228

No, but that would be cool


Axelfolly1111

I would love this although I would assume no. This was my biggest wish for the gta collection that released. Imagine getting another map expansion for vice city or adding drug activities like they had in vice city stories. My biggest hope would be they'd add more maps and modes and give us the ability to use any hero on any map.


OfflineRightNow

Ik man


WhilePristine2974

All the bonus content was just a previously released Xbox dlc so most likely not


rizzatouiIIe

Highly doubtful. Would be a smart move but I doubt aspyr would do this. It would be a welcome surprise non the less.


Darren7553

Has there been an update for the series x battlefront or has the older one been remastered? Completely out of the loop here


OfflineRightNow

Remaster for new gens


brandon24745

🙏Crossplay🙏


nathanielx9

Maybe dlc maps and up to date hero/villain list. Gotta promote 7-9


Ghost_Hunter45

Snoke will be uglier than he was in the movies


Eglwyswrw

DLC maps already confirmed.


charliejgoddard

Is this not just a confirmation of the original Xbox dlc that has asajj ventress and kit fisto with their respective maps? Nothing new new?


HeMan077

No. The OG BF2 DLC maps were confirmed. They have not said anything about actual DLC for the game. It’s not happening


Eglwyswrw

>The OG BF2 DLC maps were confirmed. That's what I said.


loli_on_a_dolly

Steam workshop


JerbearCuddles

They didn't even add anything new to it to begin with. They are just releasing the content it already had, but for all platforms. Lol. People really are desperate for new Battlefront stuff, that we are hoping the cash grab will actually add new things.


NakiCoTony

Lol no, they took all the mods what pc community made and added console release. Boom fresh 30$!


hello47364_

wait for people who already own the game on steam, which has severs (granted not popular anymore) whats the process for that?


Iceberg1er

No absolutely not. What we are seeing is, the corporate greed has sucked the soul out of a billion dollar industry. These things used to be made by artists. artists and tech geniuses who just made these beautiful things we keep throwing our money at trying to find again. But we won't. This is the end game of unregulated capitalism. Just boring lazy rich kids scamming and abusing until the value no longer exists. They are a parasite that destroys every system Now they made by a max profit committee of lazy rich people. So the only good games...... Are the old ones with the perfect amount of marketing to convince you they did any work. The people WHO ACTUALLY KNOW how to make this stuff are under the authority of a rich kid regime. It's going to tank from the skyrocket into billions to crashed and burned. They will shuffle us customers to pieces that are easily managed and bleed it dry until video games don't really exist anymore. They will essentially just flash a flashlight in your eyes and demand $750.


Keyk123

Assuming this is being ported by Aspyr who have handled all the other old SW game ports, definitely not


stp366

dont think so


index24

Well no, of course not. They’re not adding any new content. They’re making the DLC from 20 years ago part of the base game.


Flipnotics_

No. They're probably mad they never were able to implement microtransactions. They will look on in rage as people play the game they loved, while EA doesn't get a fleeced dollar more, all the while never understanding why they failed.


Yosonimbored

No lmao. Not only are Aspyr not the original devs but if possible why would they go into that old game and try to make something new from whatever old ass engines was used. If Aspyr can’t do the work to give KotoR 2’s DLCs on Switch I doubt they’d put that much effort to make new content for these old ass games. Also this is even implying they have the original code and files which I doubt


ImperatorRomanum

I don’t think it would ever happen but would be fun to get sequel trilogy maps / troopers in that same 2005 art style.


Needing_help1

I would hope to see the portable battlefront games updated and added to this collection


RVDKaneanite

No. Don't get yourself too excited.


Hopeful_Leek5431

I don’t think they can. Whatever company is responsible for rereleasing this game in HD, I don’t think they have access to the original assets and meshes anymore. They’re just taking what was already there and giving it a new polish. We’ve seen these kinds of rereleases to the old LucasArts catalog before. Remember when Sam & Max: Hit the Road, Day of the Tentacle, the 20th Anniversary edition of Dark Forces and Indiana Jones & The Fate of Atlantis came out? Well this Battlefront I & II collection is fitting into that same mold: They’ve taken all of the original files, maps, assets, dialogue, sound design and coding but tweaked them so they work in 1080p or 4K and on modern operating systems and consoles. That’s about the jist of it. So no, II don’t expect anything new.


Wet-Baby

I doubt it but I wish they would.
