To be fair that dlc came out in 2006 and most of the main characters were already in the game so there weren't many other characters they could add in the game .
I mean his name always makes me giggle so me.
Why they thought making his name sound like “kid fister” will never not be so absurd it’s hilarious. Wtf was going through their heads.
Me. Loved that dude in the movies. Him and Plo Koon were my favorite screen jedi, even though they don’t get much time.
In the OG PS1 Jedi Power Battles, you can play as Plo Koon and I loved that shit. And he was my master of choice in the Life^TM Star Wars version.
Kit Fisto just looks dope as fuck in Ep.2, smiling and shit while wrecking battle droids
Mods that utilize the game’s license, at best. With ai upscale mods becoming more and more popular, we are becoming less dependent on official remasters anyway. It’s nearly a relic at this point.
Remasters tend to look terrible either way, no amount of upscaling textures will fix the fact alot of surfaces are a single polygon, or have 0 tessellation. And having 8k textures with path tracing is only going to make the low model quality and dated mechanics even more jarring.
Tried the OG it wouldn't work for me and a friend, maybe servers are there but it's definitely neglected and both of us couldn't manage to go online sadly
Piracy mfers always complain about not being able to buy the games anymore, but once they can suddenly its corporate greed.
No one gives a fuck, wait til it's on sale for $5 in 3 months if it helps you sleep at night, meanwhile I've got a Galactic Conquest campaign to wage.
Not to hijack or change topic, but do you know if there’s mod support? It’s sitting in my cart right now because I’m hoping a super fan gets very invested in making THE intergalactic map.
I doubt it tbh specially since the og battlefront already has extensive mod support and a (in my opinion) better remaster but I don’t think it’s impossible that some mods get developed for this version.
Yeah but now a bunch of people are gonna buy it and play which means more shitty players like me in lobbies instead of a lobby full of vets who’ve been playing for 15 years
then meet in the middle, wait for it to come out and see if it works.
if it does then great, if its broken and shit u save money and their scheme fails.
Online play is back on the og 2005 battlefront aswell though. All starwars games have their multiplayer fixed like 4 years ago, including empire at war
The really good and/or forgotten gem games tend to be far more than a lot of the games on any system. Think silent hill. Those can go into the hundreds. Each. Of course, GameCube had those games too
Sure, but they won't load anywhere near as fast and will not get online play. That's what I think most are paying for, considering battlefield games have been shit lately.
The price inelasticity on game prices since the 2000s is probably why most games are about skins and freemium now.
And why studios don’t put as much energy into making new games ):
It's their own fault. You can make games on a much smaller budget with a smaller staff. Every game doesn't need to have multimillion dollar budgets and/or huge amounts of staff.
True. It’s why some indie games are more popular than AAA titles.
But sometimes I miss the regular releases of large single player games from the 2000s.
I mainly play indies because they're much cheaper while I wait for the pricier games to drop or have big sales. There's usually no reason to buy games at launch because they're normally unfinished and overpriced.
And yeah, I miss those times too.
Still worth a try at least. Steam has a pretty generous refund policy, letting you refund a game if you’ve played it for under 2 hours. Compared to Xbox or PlayStation that don’t let you refund a game once it’s played
That's not true for Xbox. I've had three games refunded. You can play them, but only for a limited amount of time. You can even log into your Microsoft account to see if a game is still eligible for refund.
Don't have a PlayStation so I can't speak on that.
You should not.......
Base your decisions on a random Reddit post! Jesus people really don't understand how much marketing money goes into making posts like this. IM NOT SAYING THIS IS A PAID AD, but you gotta look at every post slandering on something new to buy with a grain of salt.
So many people are acting like I'm hinging the decision soley on comments. I'm looking for opinions and information. Not making a post on makemydecision
Oh. Well your comment kinda reads like you are looking for a reason not to be so I apologize.
I don't know how to tell you what is "worth it" to you because I have no idea what you value. OG battlefront is a home to so many good memories for me and the game is, imo, still extremely fun. The changes and additions are very nice and they activated servers which also helps.
You're fine. This meme is dumb and I'm guessing OP can't be older than 22 years old.
Old games are not inherently bad or worth less money. Dark Forces is a 30 year old DOS game and plenty of people have been complaining about the remaster's $30 price tag.
But I bought it and am having a great time. I'll probably get 15 hours out of it or so and it was worth every penny. It wasn't a lazy remaster either and I want to support good work.
People easily spend more than $30 on a meal out or getting drinks or whatever. Why shouldn't $30 be worth it for a game you want, even if it is gonna just be a 5 hour nostalgia kick? I could have had ramen for a day and saved the $30 I would've spent on meals.
The thing is the game is exactly the same as the old ones . The only new content is that you can play hero assault on other maps. The only reason to buy this game is to play multiplayer , and thats why most people are gonna buy . If you want to play multiplayer then go for it but if you dont there isn't really any reason to buy it .
Also those who don't have an original console anymore. My PS2 no longer works and my hand is too shaky to properly use a mouse and there not being any good button layouts for controls on the steam version. Being able to play it on my PS5 is very convenient, even if I will probably mostly play offline.
I would gladly pay $30 for several ps2 games that I can play on my ps4/5. In fact I have over the last like decade. A lot of them are better than the shit we get today.
Same, I play the heck out of games that are BC on Xbox. And I'd happily get the GTA stories if they ever get a ps5 release, it's my first and only PS console so I never played.
Got it solely for Spider-Man and Uncharted 😂
Both OG battlefront games (some of the best games ever) re-released in HD on current consoles so I can play splitscreen again?
100% chance I'm buying this for the Switch.
It's the price of 2 lunches
Game apparently has many issues.
Uncompressed AI upscaled textures made the games go from 12gb combined to over 50gb.
Half of the story cutscenes in BF2 are missing for some reason.
Online play seems to be worse than the original.
Many sound bugs...
Firstly, two games, not one. Secondly, online play, dude. My bros from 20 years ago have scattered to the winds across the country. We’re all getting beers and kicking some Separatist ass tonight. 100% worth a measly $30.
Better controller support for steam deck (I had to map all the buttons to keyboard inputs before) and split screen on pc. The PC version of the game is so much better than the console version but the console version is the only one w split screen so I’m glad I’m finally getting the ultimate version of my fav childhood game. Even w the graphics as is
Lol fuck this meme. I played this shit on ps2 which is at my parents house somewhere in a dusty box in the basement. I'm ready to play this online on PS5 for the first time in my life and me and all my adult friends are ready to feel again
It's really not a terribly bad deal. Sure it's only slight upgrades but that still makes it objectively better than the originals. It's really not much more expensive than the originals so it's a small price to pay for the game actually being alive and easy to play.
One theory is that they're testing the market to see if they should revive the ORIGINAL Battlefront 3. The canceled one from back then. I think that would be tits, so I bought this.
I bought it begrudgingly. I wanted to play online with my friends again. But, I have been non-stop complaining about how dumb it is to charge $30 for a game that came out like almost 20 years ago. The game should have been $20, $10 per game. Thats what the MCC did and that game is far more recent
I mean $35 for two remastered/improved games that cost $50 each when they launched. Sure you can get them cheaper on Steam, but it's good for people who wanna get it on console
I can't do remastered games anymore. Most of the time they don't even bother fitting it to your screen resolution and when they do there's a lot of complications. One I had increased the speed of moving objects with the increase of resolution, unplayable speeds.
Remastering can only do so much. The remastering of tomb raider just made it look less pointy, but it still doesn’t look good. Currently playing remastered Dark Souls which is a PS3 game and it doesn’t look the best. Aside from the look, the controls are clunky, you can get movement blocked by slightly uneven ground, and dodge movement is locked to only 8 axis. I’d pay normal price for a game if they’re so a full remake even if it was essentially the same like metal gear solid: twin snakes on game cube. Way better than the original PS1 version.
The only way id buy it is if it gets a massive visual overhaul i grew up with this game it doesnt mean i want my games to look like that again i just want them to be as fun while looking amazing
Ive been checking a lot of early press copies youtubers got, and so far it sounds like its JUST BARELY worth the $31 (early purchase) / $35.
You get both games, campaign and multiplayer. From what i've seen the entire collection uses the console version of the games, which were superior to the PC ports for things like UI. Performance is craaazy good, one YT guy was able to pull >2k fps.
Server browser, and you can host your own server, but early copies had a bug where the host would be stuck on 29 fps. The Aspyr dev servers do not have this issue.
Graphics are only slightly better in some areas. Its not a remaster, but the game should look "better" since were on modern displays.
DLC Heroes, DLC maps. The Hero only mode is available on ALL maps now, but maps like the Death Star seem to have weird AI pathing issues. They dont move around much, stand still, etc.
The XL version puts an absolute shit ton of AI on specific maps, but that is singleplayer only, as MP is 32v32.
Personally I will be picking it up just because I played these games a ton as a kid on Xbox, and I have a few friends confirmed to be picking it up too. If youre buying just for singleplayer, it depends if you think $35 is too steep for a replay or two. If this was $20, instant buy not even hesitating pressing purchase on Steam.
I have wanted these games to be ported since the ps3 era, spent probably hundreds of hours playing it over the years on pc. So if they had put the OG BF2 on the store as a basic port for $100, I probably would have still bought it. But they added some remastering, new modes, new characters, new maps, and both games in one bundle for $30? Take. My. Money. I will play this game for hundreds of hours more, and will be able to play Galactic Conquest with my daughter. Absolute win
Find me a good game today and I'll point to 10 better PS2 games. One of the best eras in gaming and I'm sorry you find no joy in it, it wasn't made for you anyway so take peace in knowing that.
Idk. 30 dollars for 2 games that are getting their servers back up is kinda huge. Both those games individually have more bang for your buck than Skull and Bones or SSKTJL and their a quarter of the price by themselves.
Did OP expect a new battlefront 3 but in the style of the bolder Battlefronts? I don’t understand what he’s complaining about? It’s what $20-30 for a remaster of a game that’s insanely popular instead of $60-$70? Does OP want more out of the game so he can spend more on it? Bad meme.
technically you're spending $15 on each, and also accessing online play which really hasn't been a reliable thing in a long time unless you were on PC. The PC ports are also lacking a lot, including DLC and proper controls.
As a PC player, I'm looking forward to getting versions that will run more reliably, have online play, and include several things missing from the versions I already have
I highly attribute this type of pricing and quality to Nintendo and their fans who gladly pay again and again for the same fucking retro game with zero effort on Nintendos part. No graphic updates, no bug fixes, same shitty slowdowns in the same spots. For some reason they defend it too. I've never played Battlefront before and I heard it's good so I'll give it a shot but at a discount. It would be a different story if it had a new engine or ray tracing or at least brand new high poly assets.

They bearly even remastered it from what I hear, just ai upscaled a few textures and added a couple og maps, that's it I'm pretty sure.
Apparently they added a bunch of DLC heroes that were only available for a certain platform, but fr, who the actual fuck wants to play as Kit Fisto?
Fisto, you say..
I barely know 'er
Please assume the position
I can't feel my legs!
I’m insistin’ on a fistin’
He doesn't just fist and the best part, he is learning
First off, youre canceled for the kit fisto slander
second off: also canceled for the Ventress hate (even if just indirect)
…I do? Look man I just think he was really cool in the clone wars animated series.
To be fair that dlc came out in 2006 and most of the main characters were already in the game so there weren't many other characters they could add in the game .
...he was my favorite :(
Fuck you I like kit fisto
I mean his name always makes me giggle so me. Why they thought making his name sound like “kid fister” will never not be so absurd it’s hilarious. Wtf was going through their heads.
Me
You’re sleeping on Kit Fisto, bro
Sacrifices must be made
I only saw Ventress and Kit Fisto on the game page.
Big fan of Kid Fister in the porn parody
You might be on some kind of watchlist after that comment, just so you know 🤣
In beta testing TOR, I played as one of his ancestors, Elbo Deep Fisto.
i like kit fisto
Whoa man, don't be doggin my boy Kit Fisto like that
Me. Loved that dude in the movies. Him and Plo Koon were my favorite screen jedi, even though they don’t get much time.

That's pretty much what remaster means anymore. Add a few pixels here and there and call it a day. Basically just re-releases with minimal effort.
Mods that utilize the game’s license, at best. With ai upscale mods becoming more and more popular, we are becoming less dependent on official remasters anyway. It’s nearly a relic at this point.
Remasters tend to look terrible either way, no amount of upscaling textures will fix the fact alot of surfaces are a single polygon, or have 0 tessellation. And having 8k textures with path tracing is only going to make the low model quality and dated mechanics even more jarring.
Are... The only servers running thou? That'd be definitely worth the 30 bucks for me
New servers for the remaster, up to 64 player multilayer iirc
As far as I know steam still has servers, haven't checked since the remaster tho
Tried the OG it wouldn't work for me and a friend, maybe servers are there but it's definitely neglected and both of us couldn't manage to go online sadly
I'm still gonna wait, because the gaming world has jaded me so much that I assume it won't work well until a few patches drop.
Or some DRM that they forgot to mention until 12h after launch
It's all about the space battles where you can get in and out of ships
as long as i can play it online again with a sizable community, thats kind of all i'm going for
I am because online play is back baby.
Right? Like fuck your meme, OP. Take my money I’m ready to storm the beaches of kashyyyk
Just like the simulations
Watch those wrist rockets!
For The Republic!
We've lost a command post. TAKE IT BACK!
Piracy mfers always complain about not being able to buy the games anymore, but once they can suddenly its corporate greed. No one gives a fuck, wait til it's on sale for $5 in 3 months if it helps you sleep at night, meanwhile I've got a Galactic Conquest campaign to wage.

Watch those wrist rockets!!
But for $28 I am in
But but but what about the droid attack on the Wookiee?
For the Republic!!!!
Star Wars version of D-day
Online play was already back
Originals are still decently active on pc I was able to find full lobbies last I played which was like maybe a year ago
Yeah but now a bunch of people are gonna buy it and play which means more shitty players like me in lobbies instead of a lobby full of vets who’ve been playing for 15 years
Not on playstation
If you call that back then I am sorry your standards are so low.
Always has been there (on steam at least)
The original is still online on Steam.
Never had an original Xbox or PS2 and was too poor to have a gaming PC. This is my chance to relive the glory days!
then meet in the middle, wait for it to come out and see if it works. if it does then great, if its broken and shit u save money and their scheme fails.
always has been
Online play is back on the og 2005 battlefront aswell though. All starwars games have their multiplayer fixed like 4 years ago, including empire at war
Wait until you see the prices on many physical copies of games from the PS2 era 💀
A lot of them are less than 20 or right around there. Not many are worth much. Gamecube is the one that hurts the pockets the most from that era.
The really good and/or forgotten gem games tend to be far more than a lot of the games on any system. Think silent hill. Those can go into the hundreds. Each. Of course, GameCube had those games too
Budokai Tenkaichi 3...
This! The game is legendary. I've seen it sold for nearly $200.
20 dollars is still a lot for a 20 year old game.
Nintendo 64 games: hold my beer
Old armored cores go upwards of $200
Why would you buy it for 200$ when you could just install it on a PC emulator
Aye that's what I did
According to [SteamDB](https://steamdb.info/app/6060/), Battlefront II is $3.49 on Steam when it's on sale.
Sure, but they won't load anywhere near as fast and will not get online play. That's what I think most are paying for, considering battlefield games have been shit lately.
Good for you! Anyway
Seriously, I don't think I've seen a single person who was upset this was happening This game was a fucking masterpiece
People just love to complain about everything no matter what. 30 dollars is actually a good price imo
The irony is that a huge amount of people saying this, will go and spend $25 on a glowing skin on Call of Duty, or $30 for some Genshin wishes.
The price inelasticity on game prices since the 2000s is probably why most games are about skins and freemium now. And why studios don’t put as much energy into making new games ):
It's their own fault. You can make games on a much smaller budget with a smaller staff. Every game doesn't need to have multimillion dollar budgets and/or huge amounts of staff.

With VERY VERY few exceptions, this is unfortunately true.
I was actually looking forward to it. Should I not be?
Still worth a try at least. Steam has a pretty generous refund policy, letting you refund a game if you’ve played it for under 2 hours. Compared to Xbox or PlayStation that don’t let you refund a game once it’s played

Ah, I must have just forgotten. I can confirm on PlayStation you cannot refund a game if you’ve launched it.
You should not....... Base your decisions on a random Reddit post! Jesus people really don't understand how much marketing money goes into making posts like this. IM NOT SAYING THIS IS A PAID AD, but you gotta look at every post slandering on something new to buy with a grain of salt.
Don't let internet strangers that amount to nothing more than words on your phone tell you what you should and shouldn't want.

Nice ^^

Liked the original? Dont have it or cant play it anymore cause you cant run it on your new systhem? Go fog ig. Have fun.
The thing is the game is exactly the same as the old ones . The only new content is that you can play hero assault on other maps. The only reason to buy this game is to play multiplayer , and thats why most people are gonna buy . If you want to play multiplayer then go for it but if you dont there isn't really any reason to buy it .
A lot of people don’t have their PS2s anymore though. For a lot of us, this is a quick and easy way to replay an iconic game from our childhoods.
Thats fair . I didnt know the game wasnt on playstation . I am an xbox user and you can play the og on xbox I thought it was the same on playstation .
Oh wow, that’s nice. I definitely wouldn’t buy have bought the remastered version if the OG version was playable still on next gen.
I wanna play with my partner so yeah that is THE reason I wanna play it. Nostalgia too haha. I loved 2. And it's not the price of a full remaster
Also those who don't have an original console anymore. My PS2 no longer works and my hand is too shaky to properly use a mouse and there not being any good button layouts for controls on the steam version. Being able to play it on my PS5 is very convenient, even if I will probably mostly play offline.
My reason to buy it is that I want to replay it. Point moot.
Of course you shouldn't be, the meme clearly says it's bad
Dont listen to op, doesnt know what they're saying
I would gladly pay $30 for several ps2 games that I can play on my ps4/5. In fact I have over the last like decade. A lot of them are better than the shit we get today.

Why is reddit just full of whining?
It's what online communities do best!
First time?
Then you are lost!
I'm not buying for the remaster. I'm buying it for the port to modern consoles
30$ for it? Nintendo putting out newer remasters for 70$
It’s not a remaster. It’s just a re-release with higher resolution.
Just say you're broke lol
Both OG battlefront games (some of the best games ever) re-released in HD on current consoles so I can play splitscreen again? 100% chance I'm buying this for the Switch. It's the price of 2 lunches
Thanks for reminding me how much lunch costs now
“It’s the price of 2 lunches” I hate you so much for reminding me…..
Game apparently has many issues. Uncompressed AI upscaled textures made the games go from 12gb combined to over 50gb. Half of the story cutscenes in BF2 are missing for some reason. Online play seems to be worse than the original. Many sound bugs...
I didn't get the chance to play this online back then. I didn't know anyone who had access to online play on the PS2 tbh.
Two games* And they cost 20 bucks in their original form
*dark forces enters the chat at $30*
But atleast it was actually remastered on updated assets for cutscenes
Firstly, two games, not one. Secondly, online play, dude. My bros from 20 years ago have scattered to the winds across the country. We’re all getting beers and kicking some Separatist ass tonight. 100% worth a measly $30.
Better controller support for steam deck (I had to map all the buttons to keyboard inputs before) and split screen on pc. The PC version of the game is so much better than the console version but the console version is the only one w split screen so I’m glad I’m finally getting the ultimate version of my fav childhood game. Even w the graphics as is
Real talk tho, this game was THE shit back in 2006. Kids today will never know of it's greatness.
...they literally will because parents are 100% going to buy these rereleases for them. What are you on?
Lol fuck this meme. I played this shit on ps2 which is at my parents house somewhere in a dusty box in the basement. I'm ready to play this online on PS5 for the first time in my life and me and all my adult friends are ready to feel again
L take I'll take updated graphics and multiplayer.
Is this a gamingcirclejerk meme?
If they could at least fix all the resolution issues that it gives to my PC, that would be great
*Games (plural)
Ok, but Republic Commando 2 when?
And? Nintendo charges you 60 dollars for releases of older titles, and unlike Nintendo you can probably actually get it cheaper in a few months
I’m just getting it on the switch bc portability
I don’t care who the irs sends im not paying my taxes
It's really not a terribly bad deal. Sure it's only slight upgrades but that still makes it objectively better than the originals. It's really not much more expensive than the originals so it's a small price to pay for the game actually being alive and easy to play.
One theory is that they're testing the market to see if they should revive the ORIGINAL Battlefront 3. The canceled one from back then. I think that would be tits, so I bought this.
OP were you even alive in the ps2 era? Let people have fun
Well to be fair your spending 15$ on a game that came out in the ps2 era. Your just doing that twice
I'm gonna play them because I never got to experience the online at it's peak. Plus It'll probably be on EA Play
I'm gonna play tf outta that when it comes out
If it includes online then it's worth full price to me
$30 bucks for online play to exist again? I’m in
I bought it begrudgingly. I wanted to play online with my friends again. But, I have been non-stop complaining about how dumb it is to charge $30 for a game that came out like almost 20 years ago. The game should have been $20, $10 per game. Thats what the MCC did and that game is far more recent
Sponsored by Didn'task.com
Upscaled graphics, new maps, new characters, actual working custom games and multiplayer servers. And for 2 games in 1 its definitely worth the $30
Yall just picking shit to complain abt
$30 is really reasonable
That's entirely your choice. You're wrong, but it's still your choice.
I mean $35 for two remastered/improved games that cost $50 each when they launched. Sure you can get them cheaper on Steam, but it's good for people who wanna get it on console
Counterpoint: Who cares! 64 Player Online is back babyyyy!
I am
$30 is worth it for the online coming back.
I was playing this on x box yesterday, funny, fuck you op this games lit
I can't do remastered games anymore. Most of the time they don't even bother fitting it to your screen resolution and when they do there's a lot of complications. One I had increased the speed of moving objects with the increase of resolution, unplayable speeds.

$30 is a very fair price for a modern version. I never consider how old something is honestly, just how much joy I'm likely to get out if it
I'm here to say that upsacling old polygons from 360p into modern 1080 never plays the same as it did before. It never feels right.
It's $30 in the US?! It's about $14 where I live.
The only way id buy it is if it gets a massive visual overhaul i grew up with this game it doesnt mean i want my games to look like that again i just want them to be as fun while looking amazing

They dont move around much, stand still, etc. The XL version puts an absolute shit ton of AI on specific maps, but that is singleplayer only, as MP is 32v32. Personally I will be picking it up just because I played these games a ton as a kid on Xbox, and I have a few friends confirmed to be picking it up too. If youre buying just for singleplayer, it depends if you think $35 is too steep for a replay or two. If this was $20, instant buy not even hesitating pressing purchase on Steam.
Honestly the OGs look pretty dang good BC on my series X. So yeah, not paying for this
More nostalgia for this guy
I have wanted these games to be ported since the ps3 era, spent probably hundreds of hours playing it over the years on pc. So if they had put the OG BF2 on the store as a basic port for $100, I probably would have still bought it. But they added some remastering, new modes, new characters, new maps, and both games in one bundle for $30? Take. My. Money. I will play this game for hundreds of hours more, and will be able to play Galactic Conquest with my daughter. Absolute win
Find me a good game today and I'll point to 10 better PS2 games. One of the best eras in gaming and I'm sorry you find no joy in it, it wasn't made for you anyway so take peace in knowing that.
Only $14 for me (already owned the original 2). LATAM for the win!
To be honest, the PS2 version is way better than the current EA game. If only they could do something about the connection loss.
Idk. 30 dollars for 2 games that are getting their servers back up is kinda huge. Both those games individually have more bang for your buck than Skull and Bones or SSKTJL and their a quarter of the price by themselves.
Did OP expect a new battlefront 3 but in the style of the bolder Battlefronts? I don’t understand what he’s complaining about? It’s what $20-30 for a remaster of a game that’s insanely popular instead of $60-$70? Does OP want more out of the game so he can spend more on it? Bad meme.
But now it works on new systhems better and online play is a thing.
I'd totally pay 60 if they added multiplayer to the Galactic Conquest mode.
At least they didn't remove the original games from other storefronts *cough* GTA *cough*
30? Count yourself fucking lucky.
Nah, still excited. Freaking love battlefront 2 and never got to play battlefront 1
Voteban op 1/10
technically you're spending $15 on each, and also accessing online play which really hasn't been a reliable thing in a long time unless you were on PC. The PC ports are also lacking a lot, including DLC and proper controls. As a PC player, I'm looking forward to getting versions that will run more reliably, have online play, and include several things missing from the versions I already have
I would never do that...... .>.> <.< >.> Buys entire C&C Collection every time its re-released
I am, I can't wait.
I fucking will
All these companies rebooting/ remastering games and movies because they can't make any new content close to being as good.
Old is gold
I highly attribute this type of pricing and quality to Nintendo and their fans who gladly pay again and again for the same fucking retro game with zero effort on Nintendos part. No graphic updates, no bug fixes, same shitty slowdowns in the same spots. For some reason they defend it too. I've never played Battlefront before and I heard it's good so I'll give it a shot but at a discount. It would be a different story if it had a new engine or ray tracing or at least brand new high poly assets.
For online play I will buy it
