DutchTiran Posted May 10, 2004 Posted May 10, 2004 Gamespy.com has posted a new SW:BAttlefront developers diary from John Northan, lead programmer for Star Wars Battlefront, concerning the artifical intelligence. You can find it here Strange enough, it isn't up on lucasarts.com yet... grtz, dutch
StormHammer Posted May 10, 2004 Posted May 10, 2004 Thanks for the heads-up on that. Welcome to the forums. *clix*
tFighterPilot Posted May 10, 2004 Posted May 10, 2004 Weird, I thought they get to LucasArts first Thanks for the head up
tFighterPilot Posted May 10, 2004 Posted May 10, 2004 On a less happy note, it seems like the single player would be like Battlefield's single player, multi player with bots
StormHammer Posted May 10, 2004 Posted May 10, 2004 Originally posted by tFighterPilot On a less happy note, it seems like the single player would be like Battlefield's single player, multi player with bots I expected nothing different. Did you?
BurnsU Posted May 11, 2004 Posted May 11, 2004 SP being MP with bots is always how I imagined it,I wont be playing SP anyway,I dont really see any point unless my internet connection suddenly went away for no reason.
tFighterPilot Posted May 11, 2004 Posted May 11, 2004 I'll do the same thing, but still, they said they'll put emphasis on single player. I thought they mean more than bots with good AI.
DutchTiran Posted May 11, 2004 Author Posted May 11, 2004 I think buying Battlefront for the single player experience is just like buying the Playboy for the articles and stories... (btw, I registered at LucasForums some three years ago. At that time i was in to battlegrounds alot and posted, well... 2 posts... Now I'm looking fwd to battlefront for a few months now, so I decided to visit the LForums again. And my login name still existed! Hurray...
Isair Posted May 12, 2004 Posted May 12, 2004 It's not loading for me at the moment so I'll check it out later. But I don't find it so surprising it didn't get to Lucasarts first, they haven't updated the Battlefront section in some time, I view the single player as a tutorial and a way to get familiarized with the various weapons, classes, factions, vehicles, ect.
jangofett804 Posted May 12, 2004 Posted May 12, 2004 Yeah, seriously, Lucasarts should update their website with a new trailer or somthin.
yaebginn Posted May 12, 2004 Posted May 12, 2004 new trailer nothing. I'm loking forward for the Glactic Empire Faction update. The Rebel Alliance one was realy informal and I cant wait to hear more about the Empire. and dutch, those articles are pretty darn good.
DutchTiran Posted May 12, 2004 Author Posted May 12, 2004 Well, I never read any of them. Actually I never had a Pb in my hands, how sad . I think the diary is down on gamespy. Weird...
joesdomain Posted May 12, 2004 Posted May 12, 2004 The gamespy diary that was just posted didn't really have the information I was looking for. I just don't get what Lucasarts problem with releasing planet flythroughs and gameplay and information on individual factions. They did great with that in Jan. and Feb. now zero information. I will probably be the only person buying Star Wars Battlefront for PS2 for single player use only. Not every person who plays video games plays on the internet. I know me and my friends don't. We play against each other offline.
Eagle Warrior Posted May 12, 2004 Posted May 12, 2004 i also play with my friends offline but when there not around it is kool to play online. i dont particually like play singal playerer it gets boreing after awhile.
Fleab Posted May 12, 2004 Posted May 12, 2004 all do it for the singleplayer stuff to. Not much of a online player. I can't rememebr did we find out if there will be multiplayer offline?

Fleab Posted May 12, 2004 Posted May 12, 2004 I'm sorry tiefighter but It is still early in the morning for me right now so I may just be kinda out of it but what do you mean singleplayer is multiplayer online? Isn't there just a regular singleplayer and i was also asking if for at least the console games if you can do multiplayer offline like other games.
Schetter Posted May 12, 2004 Posted May 12, 2004 I think what he tried to say is that the single player mode will be a similar format to the multiplayer mode in terms of actual gameplay (a la BF:42).
tFighterPilot Posted May 12, 2004 Posted May 12, 2004 That's ok, I was tired, I meant Singleplayer is multiplayer offline Though the original sound cooler
Alegis Posted May 12, 2004 Posted May 12, 2004 for some reason the gamespy link wont load so ill just have to wait till its on lucasarts.com unless someone copy pastes it first
Fleab Posted May 12, 2004 Posted May 12, 2004 hey tiefighter I know singleplayer is multiplayer offline but what I am asking is will they hae it on the concole systems where you can do a splitscreen offline m,ultiplayer so you can play with your friends on the same system.
Eagle Warrior Posted May 12, 2004 Posted May 12, 2004 as far as i know for the pc it will have the ability to play on the network. i dont know about the other systems
DutchTiran Posted May 13, 2004 Author Posted May 13, 2004 @ Alegis Gensan: Gamespy doesnt seem to have the article online anymore. Go here , scroll down to story and it should be the first one: designer diary #3. You can always try, but It doesn't work for me anymore, although it did when the article was just released a few days ago.
