  • The Star Wars Battlefront Collection just came out and it's terrible. Even after some of the server issues were fixed, it's still a massive disappointment. Will the Battlefront series ever catch a break with a new release??

      I'm probably one of the older viewers here, and I don't want to give in to "boomer mentality", but big-budget studios did seem willing to take risks and experiment more in those days because they could more-or-less afford to. Since big budget games of today are so much more expensive to make, I mainly see innovation in mid-budget and indie games.

    Think what pissed me off more than the actual game was the sheer amount of people I saw online either defending this piece of shit or even blaming the people who got excited for it.
    Even worse was I read someone basically type out an article that said that anyone who ever expects any game, especially AAA games, to be complete and not run like a piece of shit are in the wrong. That we need to NOT have as high expectations for AAA games because IT’S HARDER FOR AAA GAME DEVS TO MAKE A BETTER GAME THAN SMALLER STUDIOS OR EVEN INDIE STUDIOS.
    So yeah, everyone, if a large studio makes a game we aren’t allowed to hold them to a high standard, because with all those employees and all that funding they can’t make as good a game as much smaller studios with lower budgets. I’m looking at you Larion with Baldur’s Gate 3 and you ArrowHead with Helldivers 2.

    Fun fact, the "Earth Shattering Explosion" sound at 12:21 is extremely similar to a glitch that Devil May Cry 3 has in the Devil May Cry HD Collection, where sounds will just be *ear-piercingly loud* for zero reason or explanation at random, completely ignoring whatever sound settings you have.

      Back in the 2000s some games would have a repetitive sound effect that in which, if undisturbed would increasingly get louder and louder. That's what it almost reminds me of.

    I saw someone point out that they probably just upscaled every texture to 4k, even the ones that benefit basically not at all from it. Resulting in a massive increase in file size of textures alone.

    Man thank you for this video. I heard about them releasing the classics again and I was hoping they would just basically emulate the old ones and we can replay the great games from 20 years ago.
    But why do we keep fooling ourselves first off the original company pandemic is no longer around so it's a long ass did we don't have them I've come to learn that when other companies redo video games and try to do enhancements they always mess it up. So far the only remake I truly enjoy right now is Final Fantasy 7. Now I see why it took him so long to do it because if they were going to do it they were going to do it right and they have.
    Boy I don't understand it it's like we got better games in the 6th generation I've been playing a lot of sixth generation games and do emulation and they still hold up way better than a lot of today's remaster, the reimagining or remake whatevery you want to call it.
