Battlefront Classic is a COMPLETE DISASTER! - Angry Rant! 

And then also make it like 30x bigger in file size. Somehow.

Lol. Who said modern games Devs are bad, they make the impossible, possible. Another shining example is 343i and the MCC.

That comment just made this situation more unbelievable. 🤣

@@ebrahimkhan9804The Master Chief Collection has 5 games, not even counting ODST. It’s file size makes sense. It could have been smaller, but they also took all the multiplayers of the old Halo games and crammed them into the game, separating them by playlist.

Speaking of "audio right",... this Electro Break track is from Moxxi's UpOver Bar in Borderlands The Pre Sequel. The reason I know? ... I fuggin love this particular Electro Break. It is fuggin fire.

For those who haven't... go play the Pre Sequel. Just do it.

@@GraeTendoafter playing BL3… it made me appreciate the pre-sequel a lot more.

Wanna hear something funny? Apparently they stole a modder's work to use in this game.

This is what happens when a third rate amateur studio handles a remaster. Disaster happens

How is a goddamn collection of two classic games from the early-to-mid 2000's worth SEVENTY GB?!!!

@@stefanradebach2889 they probably just threw it as-is from their dev environment to the golden image with everything uncompressed. Shameful.

That’s bcz of 4k textures

​@@TheGrimFiend no it's not... It's because of Uncompressed files.

Needless to say, that... I don't need no Classic collection, when I have the original releases here. Just need to do some fiddling around to get them to work, tho.

I means if you ruthlessly limit your effort, and still get some sales based on brand recognition, I think that compares favorable financially with doing a more thorough rework or new game development.

I’m starting to think that it’s deliberate by now.

I'm starting to think after this they will never make another game again, studio will collapse, and they are going to take the money and run!

@@BRN2BNDAIR like Fntastic with the Day Before

Does nobody remember the gta disaster from not even that long ago? Of course re-releases are going to be scuffed

I feel like truly original games will be less and less. We’ll probably see more remakes or remasters as the years go on, and I’d wager many will release in a trash state just for a quick buck

@@randomhero6365I cared less about the remaster and more about them pulling the og games from console shelves, that’s f^

Damn. Was really looking forward to this one too

The industry has been destroying games ever since last-gen consoles. Especially when they are on their way out.

It is crazy how much the Battlefront series has fallen off.

It's crazy because they already did find the formula back in 2005. All EA had to do was remake BF3 that never got released and boom perfect. Instead they wanted to do there own thing and they ruined it

The Star Wars franchise is done and dead, no more product from this IP. This ip should buried for another 1-2 decades before Studios should even consider to try something on it again

VERY hard for the suits who want more money. that's why they push stuff out of the window in an unfinished mess.

BF2’s support getting prematurely cancelled still hurts to this day

When Joe put the music audio to zero and the song still played 😂😂

Lazy asses

Hero Assault mode plays MULTIPLE songs like Lapti Nek

They didn't even really upscale the textures. Sure, it looks better than the previous console versions. But the version of the game this re-release is based on is the PC version, and the PC version looks identical to this.

A lot of companies are doing this now (look at Sega for example) just pull down your existing PC classics then re-list them at full retail price, or as part of full retail bundles. People are buying it anyway, so why stop?

They made the Xbox DLC available for everyone, and made Heroes vs Villains available on all maps at least

Everybody is buying 😂😂😂😂

Damn.

The Asylum, but for video games.

I think gaming is the only industry where they get away with it too, selling a unfinished broken product and nothing ever happens to them legally, its disgusting and scammy

These Aspry assholes should have been conscripted into the Ukrainian Army alongside the EA/Ubisoft/Activision/Konami executives back in 2014!

but you'll assholes still buy from them lmao

The ports may be lazy but they have always run and played well. The battlefront ports also run and play well. The only problem with them is the online mode

how many times will you fall for it? Devs have been doing this for a decade now, i never buy any games the day they come out. I usually wait a couple of years and grab it on sale too

​​@@christopheryoung2874I feel like that in the wake of the recent Dark Forces re-release and other re-releases such as the Quake ones, it would be reasonable to expect a game from the early 2000s to function properly on systems that would be considered NASA-grade supercomputers for the generations that these games were designed in. I don't blame people for this one, personally.

If you want a good alternate game check out squad with the galactic contention mod and you will easily forget this farce it has everything you ever wanted from a battlefront game.

I would rather play battlefront 1 and 2 on old xbox

It's not the devs fault. It's the upper management fault since they make the call and decisions.

LMAO they just gave that authority over to the AIs too, just so they can get away with it 😂

Isn’t the standard for refunds 28 days?

@@mikoto7693 nope not with PSN. I guess they changed their policy.

This. It's not only publishers but also devs. They ride on compassion and blind trust of gamers that problems are never on Devs but it's always a fault of publishers and C-suite. Nah devs became super lazy also and this is what we get for supporting devs blindly and writing essays on Reddot how devs are getting screwed

That's so weird that i praised how well tomb raider remastered were done and i almost have 100hrs on it and now battlefront were complete failure

​@@alus992I hate that so much these gamers always kiss the developers asses acting like they can do no wrong which is complete bs

You have to admit, it's impressive to have massively fucked up so much that you manage to bloat up a game's size to 60+ GB when the originals were around 5 to 9 GB max lmao

@@RumandCocaine It's because these games were turned over to a completely different team at Aspyr. Tomb Raider Remastered was handled by someone who had thousands of hours in the original Tomb Raider games and knew the games inside out, the team for Battlefront Classic clearly did not have the same expertise nor the passion for the project. It's actually impressive how they managed to break the games, it should have been a license to print money. But then again I've asked that same question about Star Wars for years now.

$4.98 if you want to get pedantic. For some reason this crapshoot of a game is $35.01.

Honestly if you squint a bit, Helldivers is basically an evolved version of battlefronts galactic conquest (big galactic map where you jump planet to planet to have battles and take them over).

Warframe is free and doesn't require online subscriptions. Play that instead.

No, it’s just a shit company making a shit product which is the norm in the video game industry. Asspyr isn’t know too well for their shitty ports

Way back in the mid-late 2010’s, I formed a theory that Disney was purposefully sabotaging Star Wars so it wouldn’t be a threat to Marvel and their other franchises. But nowadays Marvel isn’t that great either, so idk what to think. But all this “fuckupery” seems way too frequent to just be because people are idiots.

The only thing they fucked up was the microtransactions. Newer Battlefronts are fun af.

@@BroadFame the second one is now, but it took a bit of time to get there. They just happened to cut support as it was getting its stride in; I wasn't ever that blown away by the first - minus the reveal trailer on Hoth. That being said, if you enjoyed it buddy, ALL the power to you. 👍

But KOTOR doesn't have a multiplayer aspect so this would be irrelevant....

I have a theory that storage companies lobby for them to make games more gigs

that extra GB could be be spyware software. everything about the company looks suspicious. is it even legal for them to post this port? did the current rights holders to star wars authorize this developers to create this? huge red flags

I'm sure they are just downloading libraries that have multiple codes for different things and only use one of them leaving garbage behind.

DEI and ESG is ruining everything on purpose. It’s not about money, it’s not about merit, they just hate you.

I don't really think there's a genuine lack of competence, the competence exists but few are willing to pay for it... There's no lack of people looking for jobs or well "projects" to work on in this industry, so the studios just take whoever have the basic requirements and will accept even the most shi**y of contracts. Since the studios can just release trash over and over without wasting any finite resource(except manpower), you get this situation. Once they have dragged the studio trough the dirt a few rounds, the studio will just shut down and reopen under a new name.

It’s okay I still own the physical pc copy and I’m enjoying the shit out of the classic collection non online….it also had one of my tonnage sons having fun playing co op…and that should be a success when my 2 oldest kids only play Fortnite and Roblox…and madden now (hopefully 2k5 thanks to me)

@@LabMatt In medical terms, the operation was a success, but the patient died.

Oh they did indeed revive it, but as a braindead lobotomite - which makes the entire thing pretty worthless :(

@@dreamingflurry2729 That's the opinion of a stupid person. Played it all weekend long and it was fantastic.

But even if it did work perfectly as it no doubt will in a week or a month’s time, that wouldn’t make it any less unacceptable to take a game that has been out forever, and then just re-release it for no reason at triple the price and 5x the file size. And only 2 player split screen, when the original had 4. It has no reason to exist whatsoever. The fan made remaster that has been out for years is literally one of the most popular things on ModDb, having won mod of the year multiple times. And that actually changes everything TC style. This is just a lazy a.i. upscale that is still basically all vanilla assets.

To be fair there is a few good sprinkled in with the garbage

​@@Noremac25I never cared for the prequels but the games were always top notch. LucasArts always made a quality product.

​@@Noremac25 exactly.

The originals had 4 bugs I could think of, Tatooine with the sand monster had gungan pig noises near it, The Ai shooting the dead body while standing over it were very vulnerable to attacks, Naboo Ground (I forgot if bug was in SWB1) had broken pathfinding Ai who all run to the wall, and Cantina Song tied to Sound Effects instead of music (or cannot be turned down in anyway).

all good bro, no need to feel sorry. The name Battlefront lost all meaning to me after EA released their first one. I'm just happy to play the old games over and over again and that's it. Also I agree, I was laughing my ass off as well, thinking "this is gonna be a good one".

The original still exist. Just don't play the remake, simple.

It’s a simple thing and they can’t even do that. They must have hired a ton of recent lobotomy recipients to work on this crap. That’s the aaa guarantee, the game is going to be bad and not work, and if it it’s good, then they’ll just poison and sandbag it until it’s unrecognizable and you just leave in complete anger and disbelief.

Hell Divers had the same server crashed when it launched and no one is review bombing that game with asinine immature reviews? that's why I don't take steam reviews seriously. It's always "game crashed bad game" I remember the same situation with Arkham Knight the reviews had nothing to do with the game rather there personal technical problems.

Same thing with KOTR II

Definitely a "who's laughing now" moment. Like, if this game released 100% functional with good to great online servers, I could see folks shelling out some money for that. Maybe even 35$. Having live online matchmaking for a beloved game like this is obviously something folks would be willing to pay for. What we got was simply not that. Not in the slightest. Folks are understandably and justifiably outraged. The state of this game is so bad that even if they charged 0 dollars for it, folks would still feel ripped off.

Absolutely baffling how they can make a 20 year old game, TWENTY YEARS, worse and yet charge more

​@@mrFunkyPickle This is crazy. More devs should make like the Quake devs. The remaster of II is pretty damn good.

I try not to think about this because if it's true, we're screwed. And if it's not, the moon landing was fake.

No we didn't, we never lost the technology. Neither when it comes to the multiple moon landings (the last manned mission being Apollo 17, and unmanned landings are continuing to this day with Japan, China, and India being the newest countries to land on the moon) and we certainly can still release a complete game today. Pandemic Studios Battlefront 1 and 2 were originally released on PC in the form of a physical CD-ROM disc and the jewel cases can still be found on Ebay today for as little as $4. The digital versions of the originals were first listed on Steam in 2019 (although pirated digital versions have existed ever since the games originally came out on PC in 2004). Had the originals never been released on PC and no digital versions ever existed, there's no way Aspyr would've ever been able to remake a worse version of the original Pandemic Studios games. Hence why actual console exclusives can still only be played on emulators.

Yeah that does suck some but that doesn't bother me I played it so much I just skipped them back in the day but I can see yeah new players should be warned

Well when activist and incompetent diversity hires are the most important the product will always be shit.

That's missing a big part, which is companies treating developers like temporary commission work. Bring in the lowest cost option, have them crunch to release, then make them redundant. There are next to no career developers anymore and these are the results we'll get.

This is what happens when publishers close studios, fire hundreds of workers, FORCING institutional knowledge and experience out the door so they can only keep the newest & cheapest hires to do all the heavy lifting

I'd say it's a problem that's gripped the Western industry. In East Asia, you have publishers like Capcom and Bandai Namco releasing a number of great games, like Resident Evil 7 and Elden Ring to name a few. I think there's something deeper at play here, something that's hard to put into words and goes beyond video games.

Nah, it's because they treat developers as a liability. As a result, all the good ones have left. Only inexperienced ones are left behind. Imagine making the same money as a software eng but working double the hours - that is game development in a nutshell. Plus once the inexperienced ones get good, they know their worth, then they get fired. Plus now they are just laying them all off. Expect to see even shittier games, and the eventual collapse of a bunch of game developers.

I'm an inverse player too. Like for 30 some odd years. Can't play any other way. This would have been a refund before I even started playing.
