joesdomain Posted November 14, 2004 Share Posted November 14, 2004 In my opinion, If they can't make a download such as the Jabba's Palace map for all three version of Star Wars Battlefront then they should not even bother making any in the first place. They are alienating playstation 2 players again. Just like they did when they chose not to make KOTOR, KOTOR II, Jedi Outcast, and Jedi Academy for PS2. It makes me so mad! I haven't bought a microsoft product since 2000 because of that reason! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK-8252 Posted November 14, 2004 Share Posted November 14, 2004 If you get SWBF for console you are aknowledging that you are not as as likely to get downloadable content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still there could be something. but it would probebley use huge space on the harddisk/memory card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please. Do you know how much it costs to port a game? Oh, and you realize that if you release something on PC, it's widely available, right? Look, first of all certain games just don't work well on consoles. Second, you can't expect developers to release something for every single platform out there. You haven't even mentioned Mac, Linux, Solaris, etc. at all.. are those irrelevant to you? Because it seems so to me. Which implies to me that all you really want is the game, not this impossible "equality" that you seem so bent on getting for everyone. Last of all, how on Earth would they do it? The Ps2 has virtually no hard disk space, and memory cards can't fit anything more than a saved game or two, and certainly not a map. ...And I don't see what MicroSoft has to do with any of this...

micks75au Posted November 15, 2004 Share Posted November 15, 2004 Frankly I'm unimpressed, its another map, bigdeal, will it mean an improvement on the FPS....unlikely, I just think that should be thier highest priority. Not just all the fluffy (or slimy) eye candy. TAG yur it !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Alec Posted November 15, 2004 Share Posted November 15, 2004 I like the idea, but it's only usefull for PC gamers (got to buy it soon) and not console gamer's. If it's part of a patch then that's great, but when i get it i'll download it ASAP, I can't wait to get eaten by the rancor:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not just all the fluffy (or slimy) eye candy. TAG yur it !! Ya, sure - new content shouldn't be their first priority. They should focus on improving the frames-per-second, even though the human eye can't really see anything beyond 30 frames-per-second - that's certainly not fluff I would most certainly rather have new content than for the developers to waste their time on technical tweaks that have a very, very low return on investment. Seriously, what's more likely: Bobby: Hey mom, can I get Star Wars Battlefront for Christmas? They have this really cool map of Jabba's Palace. It would be soooo fun! Please, please, please? Or this: Bobby: Hey mom, can I get Star Wars Battlefront for Christmas? The game runs faster than 30 frames-per-second. It would be soooo fun! Please, please, please? You be the judge.

micks75au Posted November 15, 2004 Share Posted November 15, 2004 Lag annoys me, so does the FPS, and the skewed hit detection which comes as a direct result of the previous 2. Give me performance over dressage anyday. It should perform as advertised shouldn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give me performance over dressage anyday. It should perform as advertised shouldn't it? I feel that the effect of this cap has been highly exagerated, and is more of a psychological barrier than a real one. For all my time spent playing this game online, I have never noticed any problems with hit detection, and therefore does perform as advertised. Is it still capped in a technical sense? Yes. Does this cap affect my gameplay? Not that I can perceive. If people want to obsess about maximizing their frame-per-second, then there's nothing I can say that's going to cure them of their obsession. All I can say is that it works fine for me, and I only have a 1.8 GHz Athlon, with a GeForce 3 Ti-200 - not exactly a super-computer. Given this, I cannot justify in my mind the need to spend developer time fixing this "perceived" problem, when they could be adding content that prolongs the life of this game.

Cpt. Bannon Posted November 15, 2004 Share Posted November 15, 2004 umm, the ps2 has no hard drive. that is why there isnt downloadable content for it. and as for why they didnt port certain games to ps2, it could be because it has very low sysem specs, so a game has to be severely optimized, or it could be that it is much harder to port to ps2 because the xbox is more like a PC, whereas the ps2 is nothing like either of them. and back on topic: the jabbas palace map looks like there will be playable gammoreans...

Most likely they'll be NPC's like Ewoks or Gungans. It'd suck to be a huge, slow target armed only with an axe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vagabond Posted November 15, 2004 Share Posted November 15, 2004 I wonder if they'll have Jabba's band, and all the other riff raff? Probably not, otherwise the Mos Eisley map would have all the usual suspect in the cantina, which sadly they do not. Still, it would be cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joesdomain Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 Come to think about it Mac did get Knights of the Old Republic, Jedi Outcast, Jedi Academy, etc. Still they make contracts with Microsoft first and then decide whether or not to bother with making the ports or another system like PS2. I really wanted to get to play in a Jabba's palace map! oh well! I am not spending 150 bucks for a X-box and another 50 bucks for the X-box version of the game! Not worth it! I am just going to buy the Star Wars Lego Game on PS2 and Star Wars Episode III Revenge of the Sith game for PS2 and wait for the PS3 to come out.

Lindsey Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 The game has gotten a bit for enjoyable for me lately, so I am looking foward to Fridays release (if they release like they say they will) Also hoping they open the door for people to start mapping, if so, ill be on that bandwagon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lindsey Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 I dont like clans, therefore wouldn't be doing it, Star Wars are the thing for me, maybe a Dagobah map, bigger Geonosis, some Space maps:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
