oof, battlefront is starting at an uphill battle having fallout 4 and rise of the tomb raider come out a week before it.

Sword Coast Legends? This is the first time I'm hearing about it, and oh my that looks tasty as hell.

oof, battlefront is starting at an uphill battle having fallout 4 and rise of the tomb raider come out a week before it.

Not to mention the fact that despite recent news it still seems like it's going to be a bad Battlefield clone after all. Thankfully by then Fallout 4 will only be like 10% finished by anyone who isn't speed-running, so I can put off my brain bleaching until 2016.

yeah true that, I'm still gonna wait until reviews come out but the game is SCREAMING battlefield skin, when that is the complete opposite of what I want and what I loved about battlefront II

Not exactly hitting a lot of spots for me.

1: Military shooter number 800 billion.
2: Konami. And as we know, Konami of today....
3: Nintendo looking like they have given up...
4: A dead genre trying to look alive with some unconvincing make-up
5: Okay, genuinely looking forward to this
6: Lara Croft retread
7: Okay, the other one on this list I was kinda looking forward to.
8: Yeah... EA. We all know where this is going. Remember Dead Space 3?

I still haven't gotten a current gen console yet aside from my 2DS, so all the releases I'm excited for are in 2016. Bravely Second, Fire Emblem Fates, Etrian Odyssey Untold 2, and if I'm lucky, Story of Seasons.

 

[Johnny Novgorod]

I think I'm more excited for 2016 at this point.

 

[Sniper Team 4]

Black Ops III and Star Wars for me. Can't wait to play zombies again, and I still have fun with Treyarch's single player campaigns.

I'd be interested in Tomb Raider as well, if it wasn't an exclusive. As it stand, I shall simply wait for it to come to the PS4 in due time.

I thought we've all been playing Star Wars Battlefront since it was released in 2004, why would we look forward to playing it more this year? Besides the sequel was better.

 

[008Zulu_v1legacy]

Seriously, Battlefront? It has no single player, of course it's going to suck.

 

[Kae]

Seriously, Battlefront? It has no single player, of course it's going to suck.

Single player isn't even it's worst issue, if it's meant to be a multiplayer shooter then why is it 40 player instead 64 like the previous ones? Why are there less maps if there is only multi-player? Why are those maps so small that according to people that have played it ships can't even be used well? Why are there less vehicles, no classes, less heroes, less modes and no Space Battles?

Man I'm not even sure how disappointed I am in this game, what is even the point of making a new game if its going to be nothing like the original? I mean whatever, the cancelled one would have probably been a better sequel but as a Free Radical fan of course I would say that, no point even getting the least bit exited on this thing, wouldn't it have made more sense and given EA even more brand recognition if they had named it Star Wars Battlefield? I mean that's what's this is, it's even by the same studio, like why even get the hopes of the old fans up?

it's hilarious how EA doesn't seem to realize that attaching the battlefront name to it is actually going to make it tank rather than bring the fanbase in. It doesn't matter how GOOD the gameplay is, it's missing WAYYY too many things (what you listed, probably even more than that too) to be a good battlefront game....sad thing is, when this game tanks the battlefront franchise is going to be buried forever and we're all gonna be stuck playing battlefront I and II forever :-/

I wouldn't mind all that much if all that content was missing if it at least was trying to evolve the formula like the cancelled Battlefront 3 was, I don't know how it would have turned out but rather than say "Space battles weren't all that great, let's cut them." like DICE they said "Yeah Space battles weren't all that interesting, but what if space battles were simultaneous with ground battles and they both interacted with each other?" saying or not that this was the right choice is obviously impossible since the game got cancelled but you can see the big difference in attitude, one is content with just removing stuff while the other one is actively trying to build up on the formula and make it different, much like a sequel should, kind off like how 2 added playable heroes and Space Battles that 1 didn't have.

But yeah, naming it Battlefront it's hurting it a lot, I wouldn't even care if it was Battlefield, I might even be exited for it since a Battlefield game with Star Wars? Yes, I could probably dig that at least for a little bit but since it's called Battlefront there are so many expectations that they've already failed to meet and the thing isn't even out yet, plus I'm almost sure they are going to add some of the stuff that should have been there from the start as DLC which makes me even more cynical about it, and all I can think now is "Fuck that game, I hope it tanks".

An online only EA game. Consumers should be very cautious about buying this at launch. It might be released in a workable state but I'd bet that the servers will not be able to handle the load.
That and EA is way past due for another terrible launch for an unworkable game.

 

[Alcom1]

Seriously, Battlefront? It has no single player, of course it's going to suck.

I recall the Singleplayer campaign scenarios for Battlefront 2 being just like the multiplayer scenarios but with blundering AI instead of potentially competent thinking human beings, or am I mistaken?

 

[Ravenbom]

Sword Coast Legends is very close to exciting me, I still have hope but I still really need to see reviews first.
I give it a 50/50 chance I'll read reviews and just end up loading Neverwinter Nights from GOG instead.

The AI for any game around that time wasn't particularly good.

 

[ecoho]

so yeah not looking forward to any of these.........

 

[Shoggoth2588]

I'm probably going to get Super Mario Maker by or before X-mas and that's about it. Fallout 4 looks like it's going to be great but I don't have a PS4 yet and would rather wait for the complete edition to launch in a year or two. Other than those two though my most highly anticipated games for the remainder of the year are actually on the 3DS. DBZ: Extreme Butoden (literally the first game I pre-ordered this decade), Yokai Watch and, even Senran Kagura are games that I can't wait for. I'm looking forward to Xenoblade Chronicles X and Yoshi's Wooly World too but don't know if I'll end up getting them this year or next.
