Star Wars: Battlefront will appear at the Electronic Entertaiment Expo as confirmed by EA. Rumors in the midst that it will include modern gameplay shooting before the E3 2014 conference despite Developer Disney Interactive's recent denial.
Last year EA Games only showcased a teaser of the Star Wars game at the Electronic Entertainment Expo. After confirmation the full version to appear- fans expectations are electrifying themselves with excitement.
DICE executive producer Patrick Bach offers insight on the needs of their fans: "People don't want another Battlefield with Star Wars graphics; they want a Star Wars game that is proper."
Unfortunately, the fans may not have all the needs met. Frank Gibeau, EA Games Label president, explains to investors that they were able to add a 'third-person component to it.' The company, however, fell short of offering multiplayer footage as a consequence of the difficulties launching Star Wars: Battlefield 4.
IBTimes AU reports that the weakness of one is the strength of the other citing examples of DICE aiming to improve on Battlefield 4 server lags.
On DICE's Battlefield Blog they expressed their hope to rectify the issue further: "We're unhappy with our server performance, so we'll be upgrading the hardware as soon as possible, investing more to deliver a better experience."
They continued to explain: "As soon as we know the exact timetable, we'll let you know the ETA."
Yes, timing is always the question. Star Wars Battlefront fans will need to wage war slowly in the meantime.
DICE further explained that Star Wars: Battlefront 4 will proceed to develop netcode, which is essential to the multiplayer experience. Testing of netcode will be ahead of the release of Battlefront 3 scheduled for release Spring of 2015.
EA's CEO Andrew Wilson told Fortune:
"What Warner Bros. did with Batman was take the core roots of that IP and manifest that inside the walls of Gotham City and delivered an interactive experience that had real ties to what you would see in the films and what you had in the comics, while having its own life because it could provide such deep and more immersive storylines,"
"When we look at the Star Wars properties that's how we're looking at it. We're not trying to build a game that replicates the storyline of any particular film."
DICE, the maker of the Battlefield franchise is working closely with Lucas Films closely to ensure the best representation of th Stars Wars brand is represented.
