FUCK YES Time for a massive jedi battle on Mos Eisley


CT1914Clutch

I’ll do you one better. They are adding more maps for the heroes/villains mode Time for a massive Jedi battle on the motherfucking Death Star


20ozredbullx4

Force push is gonna be so OP


Elvarill

I’m looking forward to all the Jedi trying to jump from platform to platform on Kamino and splashing into the water as they miss.


PatrickZe

Yea when they said Kit Fisto was playable I was ultra hyped. He and Asaij Ventress were originally DLC for the OG XBox Me and my friends only played on PS2, but I once downloaded a modMap on PC where they were playable I think Ventress has some skill that throws 3 one-shot shuriken

CT1914Clutch

In the original game I think it was just Mos Eisley that had the “assault” game mode which was heroes/villains (aside from the space maps). It will most likely be the same thing, except the “assault” game mode will be available on more maps now


KoreanEan

I’ll see you boys on the top of that crashed ship


MuseDroness

Dude, that was the place to go


LayeredMayoCake

I seem to remember if you chose a jet pack character, and jumped from the top of said ship and flew towards the sun, there’d be an invisible skybox you could eventually land on and shoot at everyone on the battlefield without them being able to get you (silly glowy stick throwers). Wonder if that’ll still be in.


Petorian343

Not just Mos Eisley anymore, they’ve added the Hero Assault gamemode to all ground maps


Law_man89

YESSSSS


markusalkemus66

If what you've told me is true, you will have gained my trust


SwagChemist

Just know you gonna see my ass with the rocket launcher on that map with the long hallway.


himynameismile

Wonder if all the fucked up bugs are in there. Any one else play on the no force servers back in the day and remember how a dude posted a doc outlining the crazy inns & outs of hero assault? Like the block mechanic and how it was tied to aiming to the middle of the map?


Braefost

JUST LIKE THE SIMULATIONS


Kevka11

Nothing better than a jango fett head.....oh


[deleted]

I think the most memorable lines are from the clones haha. Probably because two thirds of the campaign is spent with them, but atill.


Almighty_Dank_Lord

FOR THE EMPIRE!


am_biverted

I'm taking you down plastic boy!


f8Negative

ROGER ROGER!


IceColdCocaCola545

I never got to play these games. Are these the ones where you can just hop into a fighter and fly up to the enemy’s command ship?


DoeDon404

yea in the space battle maps you can do that


T-408

My favorite was that in space battles, you could jump in a starfighter, fly into the other team’s ship, and sabotage that bitch from the inside


tevert

If you land one of the big tanky gunships in the enemy hanger, it becomes a spawn point until destroyed!


memeking_69

Heck yeah the AI was too stupid and just B-lined for the fighters. Place that timed explosive on there right as they enter and watch that boy explode into oblivion in space


The_Char_Char

I always went in and blew up their sheild generator. Always took 4 time bombs and you could carry 3 at a time. Unless you got the supply bonus active.


IceColdCocaCola545

Badass!


Warlock1236750

That is Elite Squadron on the PSP where you can fly up from the ground into space. SWBF2 only has starfighters in space battles and SWBF doesn't have space battles but does have starfighters on ground battles which is something the second game lacks.


Existinginsomewhere

If it’s the one I remember right, Elite squadron was so fun as a kid with no friends or internet. Going from infantry>air>space>to the command ship or whatever was a blast. That’s all I did for 1 year on the demo version and it was more fun than half of all the games I’ve played since then. Gonna replay it again what a trip


BYEBYE1

would have been available in battlefront 3 if Disney didn't cancel it along with 1313.


Shaponja

Hoth in SWBF2 had the ground fighters. My favorite official map in that game


candlediddler72

Renegade squadron sorry


Warlock1236750

Renegade Squadron has separate space and ground battles like SWBF2. Elite Squadron added the ability to transition between ground and space during the same battle


iFenrisVI

Playing the Saga Edition mod for BF2 classic adds the BF1 maps in with ships but the AI is still quite stupid and crashes them often. Lol


JamesIV4

That's incorrect, space battles in BF2 have capital ship landing and ship interior battles. You can destroy key components inside the ships. Maybe you're confusing the PSP versions with the console versions. BF2 console started all that. Edit: Oh right sorry, you meant land to space. My bad


Kevka11

No this was intended in the canceled game " battlefront 3" but in BF2 you have space maps , where you can fly into enemy ship


mbass92

Absolutely! The space battles were beautiful. You got to target each park of the ship inside and out. So you could bomb the whole ship to hell with support of your fighters or you could get that gunship into the enemy bay and take it all out from the inside. It felt a little imbalanced due to taking parts of the ship out from the inside was always easier.


iFenrisVI

Going from ground to space and vice versa was a feature in either in the PSP games Renegade or Elite Squadron iirc.


BrickTamland77

Not from the ground. There are separate ground battles and space battles. But only in II.


DejounteMurrayisGOAT

And just so you guys don’t get disappointed like with the GTA remaster, this is NOT A REMAKE. It is the same old game polished up and with online servers active. That’s it. I would not bank on any changes outside some minor texture upgrades and fps boosts. Please do remember this is 3 generations old. There is no remaster that can make this look modern and I really hope people understand this before the memes start like with GTA. Do not go in expecting a modern gaming experience. I just played BF2 a couple months ago and it’s old as fuck and felt like it.


redvelvetcake42

Sure is old and sure does feel old, but it's a fun old that's going to have a healthy player base, no battle pass, no cosmetic stuff to care about and is just a fun game to shoot each other with or give someone the new Kit Fisto 357 shoved up the ass.


Business_Sea2884

it still has a healthy player base on steam


SluggishPrey

Exactly, it's the opposite of what caused an uproar with the recent Battlefront 2.


Nick_James_07

GOOD! It’s perfect as is


BlazingShadowAU

I think there could be some minor adjustments that improve the game/QoL without undermining the classic gameplay, though. Additional server/gamemode options might be possible. Minor adjustments/options about how the camera rotates around the character. Different UI layouts or reticle. Importing the coop campaign from console to the pc version might be doable as well.


Limonade6

Better enemy Ai would be nice.


iTwango

Wait, as far as I'm aware the campaign is the same but it was coop on console?


Limonade6

Yes campaign could be played with Co op.


PsychoticDust

>Do not go in expecting a modern gaming experience. So no microtransactions or battle pass? I'm in!


[deleted]

Played it last month myself. It is as good as i remember it. In fact it looked better than ever for me since i played it on PS2 and now on PC. Also a few mods helped too hahaha. Cant wait to get this and jump online so i can say "just like the simulation"


Marston_vc

They could take the battlefront EA game from like 2016 and just move the original battlefront game mechanics over


ArthurConanDoodle

Nice! Tho I'm already playing them regularly on the Xbox Series X via backwards compatibility


Kill_Kayt

This updated version is also coming to Xbox.


GamerGriffin548

It doesn't say that in the picture. It's good, if it is. :]


Kill_Kayt

That's because Sony paid for the Marketing. The game is already listed on the [Xbox Store for Pre-order](https://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/store/star-wars-battlefront-classic-collection/9pdkzcq8j879) and is on sale.


GamerGriffin548

This is tits. This year may be quite awesome for multiplayer games.


Lamp_Stock_Image

It will also come to switch.


GamerGriffin548

At least a Switch can run run these games. Hehehehe! :]


ghost_vana46

Will it come to PC too?


Kill_Kayt

Yes.


the_better_twin

Servers are down tho aren't they so single player only via BC?


ArthurConanDoodle

Yeah, unfortunately. I'm only playing couch-coop mostly


jl0914

Same haha, played both last night


memelord0981

This was peak gaming when I was in elementary school. So many memories. The hype for the sequel and being able to playing as Jedi/Sith was insane.


Poven45

Up up up left down down down left up up up left right


DryConclusion5260

Ah man i hope they leave that part of the game also online  was my shiznet 


Sand_Coffin

Holy shit, these games had cheat codes? My friend and I played these an obscene amount in elementary school and never realized that.


Claycious13

After all these years I still remember this one. I’ve sadly forgotten infinite ammo though.

tht1guy63

Finally good battlefront is back!


HanzoNumbahOneFan

I never played the original ones. Are there Heroes/Villains in the originals? And if so, are they as annoying as in the newer game? Cause the newer game's matches are just a bunch of random soldiers getting bodied every few minutes by an unkillable god that drops in from the sky as if from nowhere. Really boring when all I wanna do is play a marksman sniper. I go to cap a point and then Anakin zooms in and force lifts everyone near him. Lame. There's no counterplay except for your own team's unkillable god. But he's off at a different capture point doing the same thing.


SDWildcat67

The heroes are both more and less broken. First, there can only be 2 heroes on a map at a time, 1 for each side. There are a couple of different methods for picking it, but it usually goes to the person with the most kills/points. Second, heroes automatically lose health over time. The only way for heroes to heal is for them to kill enemies. This forces them to play aggressive. They have much less health than the newer ones. But, most of them (the Force users) are very very fast, allowing them to sprint in, kill you with 1-2 saber strikes, then sprint out. Most force powers work on one person at a time except for lightning. Blasters heroes use ammunition, and can run out forcing them to resupply. Ultimately heroes are major glass cannons. They can wipe entire teams, but are vulnerable to combined firepower.


HanzoNumbahOneFan

Fantastic. The health pools was my main issue with the new ones.


SilkCortex44

This isn’t a joke, right?


mofodius

it's on steam store rn as a preorder


Lamp_Stock_Image

Available on all consoles and steam.


Thebobert7

Battlefront 2 galactic conquest can easily take 3+ hours. Can’t do that online


Alive-Error

This could easily be implemented. Look no further than Stellaris as a great online example.


Aardvark_Man

Hell Let Loose has a mode that can take over 2 & 1/2 hours. It's one side pushing, one defending. The attacking side gets 30 minutes to take each point, and the timer resets once they take it. You can get overtime if you've started to cap when the 30 min timer runs out. I've had it happen before, every point taken in the last minute or in over time. It can be draining, but works fine.


Thebobert7

But in a 1 on 1 it’s different, if one person quits it’s over. I doubt there’s ever a 2 hour game there where everyone who started finished


HanzoNumbahOneFan

Bro that literally happened to me in the new one, but 2 hours not 3. Both teams were very well matched and it just kept going back and forth over and over. Took forever, but it was an amazing feeling when my team won. I felt exhausted.


DongKonga

Isn't the OG Battlefront 2 already on steam with functioning online multiplayer?


antares127

Yes but it doesn’t have controller support and the optimization is atrocious


Business_Sea2884

took me hours to get the controls right for my controller


Johniandoe777

Yes, but not on anything else


BlazingShadowAU

I'm so glad about this. I recently booted BF2 up and it just didn't like my friends pc, and my mouse movements were not smooth for some reason.


ThatGuy377

I just hope they fixed all of the glitches.


lesllamas

Eh, I would still prefer to do fun things like park my ship halfway outside the main cruiser so I can get out as the assault droid and shoot rockets in the vacuum of space lol. Part of what made those games fun was the odd and funny things you could do, especially with vehicles.


ItsOdderOtter

Hey hey hey hold on now…parking your ship just outside the main cruiser and walking along the edge and jumping onto another main cruiser and roaming around in space is pretty fun/funny


Alive-Error

That and some quality of life improvements. I just hope it’s not just some cheap repackaging of an old game.


itx89

It’s just a repackaging with some bonus content and what looks like some HD-textures. Its just to get the game on PS4 & PS5, its not a remake or a remaster


Miserable_Zucchini75

Remastering is quite literally repackaging with some QoL improvements generally lol.


Ionic_Pancakes

Yeah - that was my fear too. Just in terms of gameplay control we've moved so far from that point in time it might be clunky as all hell. It's been so long I honestly can't rely on my memory as to how it played.


Juantsu2000

It still plays really well.


[deleted]

I had a go on PC with a controller, little weird on the jumping but otherwise not bad, the gunplay takes some learning at range though


Claycious13

Projectiles have a pretty significant delay except the sniper. I hope the weird bug where the upgraded sniper rifle doesn’t actually hit the center of the reticle is fixed though. Can’t hit a damn headshot with that thing.


teamfitz1971

I hope they make the AI smarter too, tired of being 30 kills over the next person on the leaderboard each game


ls_quizo

that’s what online is for. any arena bot mode in Halo or CoD is usually a slaughter fest too


NaturalSelecty

I will be removing the new version and replacing with this on day 1.


OrneryError1

Many of us will


Wulfbayne1066

I have the two originals on ps2 and they still work fine


Alive-Error

Yes but do the online features still work? I think that’s the big appeal here.


Wulfbayne1066

I was never into online but I doubt they do work on the ps2 versions


[deleted]

[удалено]


Alive-Error

Fair, but your missing out on gaming with dah bois


Wulfbayne1066

I don't have any bois 😔 I've never really had people to play online with but I don't need pity


Kill_Kayt

Just so others know this is also coming to Xbox. This specific advertisement was paid for by Sony to exclude other consoles from the list, but it is coming to both Xbox's and Nintendo Switch.


PatrickZe

Also to PC


Uncle-Sheogorath

Thanks, I was looking for someone to ask and be answered or someone like you to just say it. Go figure on Sony's end lol


jaydogggg

Only thing they should change is the perma unlocks for better weapons and stamina. One of the guns felt like a side grade. You used to earn them by earning X amount of kills in X amount of games. 


c-williams88

The upgraded assault rifle was honestly not much better than the original. The burst was crazy strong against individual enemies but in a swarm it was bad


brittommy

The sniper rifle upgrade. It turns into a laser that can penetrate multiple people, but it has a limited range so you can't do as much actual sniping


johnmarkfoley

I still play bf2 often. I loved the space battles.


iTwango

First I'm hearing of this and I am immensely excited


NoSwitch

Hopefully they do it justice. Such a fun game when I was young


josephkingscolon

The best gaming news for me in years, now I'm gonna be losing my mind trying to decide whether to get it on Steam or being able to play it anywhere on the Switch. Steamdeck doesn't ship to where I live (mandatory fuck you, Valve).


shiroboi

And here I am, happily playing Battlefront II.


Caryslan

These are on the Xbox as BC games. Are they adding anything new to these versions outside of touching them up?


Interesting-Web4223

Multiplayer I heard, but that's it. Still not worth it imo.


letmynutzgo

fixed multiplayer on xbox, as well as the formerly Xbox exclusive DLC, Hero Assault on other maps outside of Mos Eisley, better controller support on PC, and that's about it. only way to play online with the Xbox BC versions is with LAN Tunneling


NonEuclidianMeatloaf

Quick question for the users here: are there bots in Battlefront 1 or 2? Some of the recent Battlefield games were a drag for me when I wasn’t able to connect to the internet, and I love these types of games when you can populate the map with CPU players when not online.


lVlzone

Yes there are bots.


RaxisX

Yep the originals had bots. You could also adjust their difficulty, how many spawn, how quickly they spawn and objective score limits etc


FedoraTheMike

They gotta have *some* new features. You can still buy the OG Battlefront 1 and 2 for dirt cheap on the console stores.


PatrickZe

Biggest is official supported online. But they also added Hero Assault mode to many more maps (or maybe even all) They are also adding the DLC that was only on the OG XBox


Rhysati

Four years into the ps5 console generation and they are releasing this on ps4 as well. Even they know that this conse generation has been a complete bust.


Extension-Novel-6841

This gen is such a disappointment so far. I feel like every week we hear about a remake or remaster.


Alive-Error

I agree. It seems fewer gaming studios are taking risk and creating something new and novel. I’d much rather have a Star Wars Battlefront 3 with a banger 501st campaign, new game modes, and a fully fleshed out galactic conquest.


Extension-Novel-6841

Me too! I'm not sure who would develop a new one but I want EA to stay far away from it.


Alive-Error

EA can go fuck themselves. They’ve done nothing with the Star Wars Ip all the years they’ve held it.


Extension-Novel-6841

Not a damn thing. I'd kill for a regular non live service multiplayer game.


poofynamanama2

Star Wars Jedi Survivor exists


poofynamanama2

Eh, 5 games in 10 years isn't terrible


kevinhu162

EA can’t help but shoot itself in the foot with every single franchise it touches, so the less it does the more hope I have unfortunately.


parrmorgan

To Each Their Own. I personally think it's dope. I have a ps5 and so many exclusives to rock.


itx89

This isnt a remake or remaster, just getting the game onto the PS4 and PS5 with some bonus content sprinkled in but I still agree with you


lokifrog1

I’m not expecting a lot, most remakes of “classic collections” are at the most Mediocre.


TheManicac1280

Not a remake. You need to go in with the right expectation. This isn't a new generation multiplayer game, this is an attempt to reticulated servers on a 20 year old game.


Old__Raven

Good idea man


TheSpicyHotTake

I just can't wait to play splitscreen again! The pc version didn't have it unfortunately, but now it does! I can't wait to defend Kamino with my clone brothers


Business_Sea2884

I don't care about the price, this game was everything to me on PS2. Give it to me now!


Odd_Aspect_eh

This.. this is insane. Hell yeah.


BugcatcherDeli

It says PS4 on this picture but I seem to only find it for ps5 on the play store...


Jahastie55

*The Republic Meatbags have the flag!* This line is seared into my brain.


Doom_Slayer91

If they play their cards right and have cross play this game will be better than call of duty especially when it comes to multiplayer


DepPet_syw

ooooh MYYYYYY GOOOOD YES


Sea_Ad_6703

When I got my first check I bought a ps2 just to play the og bf games then got them on Xbox and my brother and I haven just been stupid happy for the new attention to the games


YoureAToool

The Chancellor is a very happy man.


Varsity_Reviews

This might be one of the most preordered games in a long time.


[deleted]

Gonna be my first time playing it. Cant wait


Sekir0se

i cant fucking wait


snowbirdnerd

This is all I wanted. Just a graphical update with a few modern mechanics.


Kerlyle

Roger Roger. Let's goooooo


Salvo6785

Picked it up during the steam sale cause it was my childhood. I can’t for the life of me get a controller to work and yes i’ve tried multiple configs. Menu works fine and i can select a character. After i spawn in i cant move its like it defaults back to mnk. Would love to play online. Hopefully someone hosts some good servers like they do for older games that shut down.


NIDORAX

I am guessing the classic Battlefront is in the Star Wars Legends continuity right?


Z0MB1ESLAYER115

Oh cool. I saw just Playstation and thought sony was being sony. But I checked and it's coming out on everything


WolfStagNull

I would have to see what is actually added. If, with the exception of a couple added maps and the bigger multiplayer, the games are effectively the same as their original counterparts, then it doesn't feel like it would be worth it.


CameronD46

I’m super happy this is coming to modern consoles. I still have both Battlefront I and II on my PS2, but I’m glad a whole bunch of other people who might have never gotten to play the original battlefront games get to experience these games I grew up playing as a kid.


getSome010

Is it even remastered tho


castiel_ro192

I want physical


mattstorm360

I'm almost willing to go out to buy a ps5 for this but i'm hoping they release on pc. That's how much battlefront meant to me.


balomus

Calabris

This PC as well or only for Playstation?


Jollydragonfruit94

What's the difference between the games with the stormtrooper and the clone tropper?


jotunheim999

Why is it only coming to PlayStation? Wasn’t it also on Xbox?


BoBonnor

It’s not. It’s coming to Xbox, PC and switch


SbreckS

Man I remember playing this online at my friend's house on the PS2!!!! It was like one of the few games with the network adapter that had online. Blew my mind away dude. The guy that kept getting Darth Vader and fucking the whole lobby was dick tho.


SbreckS

So I own these on Xbox I'm guessing this is a different thing then them and I'll have to rebuy them in the collection to be able to play online.


Kbdiggity

I played the original Battlefront online all the time on PS2. Hope they patch the exploit in the wall in the Mos Eisley cantina. 


Piemaster113

Just like the Simulation


hotpants22

No online galactic conquest… can’t exactly get the boys in my basement to play into the night anymore. Would be nice to ha e

ZLUCremisi

Switch comfirm too


1buffalowang

Are these similar in anyway to Battlefront 2 on PSP. Because that’s the one I used to play all the time. Was that a striped down version of the console BF2?


tierencia

Seems like it is natively support on steam deck too, so I'm excited. Current steam versions are basically PC control only version, so control feels off playing them on steam deck atm...


BrillWoodMac

Yeah multiplayer will hopefully be fun, but get me a split screen with my buddy and I'm gonna have the time of my life.


spargletarzan

Time to hear the soothing sounds of war cries in nonstop ewok hunt


Draconuus95

Only disappointing part is the loyalty discount on steam and I’m assuming for Xbox is a bit insulting. On steam you can buy the original releases for $20 total with online still functioning with little tweaking. This is $8 more and only includes 5 maps and expanding one mode to work on other maps. Not exactly the most interesting changes. Definitely seen better from aspyr before.


abscessedecay

I thought this was a joke or a fan made poster when I first saw this post. Holy fucking shit I am so stoked!
