Father Torque Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 These screenshots are courtesy of LucasArts EDIT: This belongs in the Game Disscusion. Can a mod move this there please. If it needs to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExcelsioN Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 Some of these screens look really good (I've seen them before but no matter). One thing that might concern me is that the graphics don't look good enough for a game due out in Fall '04. By that time we'll have stuff like HL2. And there's not any mods here yet.

Pie™ Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 Cool shots, although I think i've seen them before... I really like the ScoutTrooper with the sniper [EDIT] Ex... you beat me!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graphics aren't a big deal for a game like this. We'll be having too much fun to notice it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he edited it and said the same thing. http://www.lucasarts.com/games/battlefront/images/screenshots/4.jpg ^On that one the stormtrooper seems to have excessively big arms.

Yeah, and keep in mind that it's gonna be mainly MP, with loads of players... Maybe the graphics saves the ping? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Father Torque Posted January 18, 2004 Author Share Posted January 18, 2004 I would deffinetly day the graphics need a touch up, but im more interested in the game play factor, i want to have a game were i can play for a long time. Also, the phsyics engine looks a little coruppt, but not too bad. JK2 wasnt the greatest either. The player models are deffinently good, and the gun models look amazing. I did notice though, that the water effect was a little too exagerated, but atleast the reflections look ok. Another thing, the picture with the two stormtroopers, and the red lasers looks very odd, in the way the laser cuts through the grass, makes it look weird, even though you probably wont notice it in-game. And lastly, i think the explosions could use some work, the dont mix very well with the the backround environment, makes them look fake. Boy do these screenies make you wanna get it though:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the graphics saves the ping? I don't think so. Have you watched any of the BF:Vietnam trailers? The graphics are significantly better than BF1942 or SWBF. Go here for the BF:V trailer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Father Torque Posted January 18, 2004 Author Share Posted January 18, 2004 Thanks mod who moved this:) I will update more pictures, when more are released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_One Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 Is it really so difficult for them to put anti-aliasing on for screenshots? I've noticed game developers hardly ever take pictures with AA on, and it looks horrible as a result. Either way, though, nice screens - even if we have seen them before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Father Torque Posted January 18, 2004 Author Share Posted January 18, 2004 Sorry to those who have seen these. I just put them on so people could see and then post comments on what they thought was good and bad. If anyone else has screenies, feel free to post them.

I think that these are the only screens that have been released for now. Heh, we needed a place to comment on the screens right? I say that whenever more screens are released, we add them to this thread, and make it the "Official SW:Battlefront Screenshot Thread". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hermie Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 I browsed 36 google pages of sites with the words "star wars battlefront" in, so I bet I have seen them before but what can I say? it looks freaking awsome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_One Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 Normally, with a game announcement you get a batch of screenshots released with the press release - then new ones filter through slowly via website exclusives etc.. Another big batch probably won't appear for some time. I expect most of the information will appear around E3, then the hype will begin to build for the release later in the year That's usually how LEC operates, anyway...

I'm sure that Gamespot will get more screens before then. They always do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eastcoast2895 Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 the screens look fine to me right now because there is almost a year until the game is released, so there is a lot of time left for them to fix things like graphics and stormtroopers with football player like shoulder pads. i'm really liking the variety of weapons seen so far, especially the rifles. one thing that i just thought about that i never noticed was the big disadvantage the stormtroopers are at in the jungle. really white armor as a sniper in a jungle to me seems like a bad idea. looks like the empire really didn't think things through when designing the armor.

tFighterPilot Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 I doubt the graphics would look like that when the game ships. It kinda reminds me of UT2K3 Star Wars mod... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Father Torque Posted January 19, 2004 Author Share Posted January 19, 2004 If anything they must fix the environment a little, its good right now but the grounds could use a touch up. But Lucas Arts should have plenty of time to correct all of the errors. Lets just hope they come out with a demo soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Lucas Arts should have plenty of time to correct all of the errors. Lets just hope they come out with a demo soon! Having said that, LucasArts quality control does seem to have been a little lax recently - for every good Star Wars game, there seem to be about 5 bad ones. I wouldn't expect a demo any time soon - hell, the game isn't due out for 11 months. If they do a demo, don't expect one until about 2 weeks before - earliest. Assuming, the release doesn't slip, that'll be November/December time. Also, the majority of LEC games don't get a demo until after the game is released, and sometimes no demo appears at all.

tFighterPilot Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 The best Star Wars game I played lately was The Battle of Endor, and that was made by one person Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExcelsioN Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 I honestly don't think that you'll be getting a demo anytime soon. I would reckon that the game's in pre-Alpha stage (BF:V is in Alpha stage and its due out in March). If you get a demo it'll be around 2 weeks before release. Like The_One said. I'm just hoping that they up the quality of their games. JA wasn't all too impressive. Lets hope that its of the same standards as KOTOR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alegis Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 yeah i was worying about the graphics as well.. on one of the interviews they said they were squezing out last drops out of ps2 but it would look good on PC/Xbox? I dearly hope they improve, but there's nothing mopre important than gameplay ^^ the game really looks cool.. how long have they already been developing? certainly before that announcement?
