This SHOULD be my last Star Wars: Battlefront video for a while... I do want to cover some different Star Wars topics. With that said, do these updates give you any hope for the game? Let me know in the comments below! Also, come follow me on TwitterX! - twitter.com/100PerStarWars
Corporations sometimes need to fail, in particular the higher ups in the company. I've witnessed massive Exodus's at companies before where there were mistakes and bad decisions being made by higher ups who did not actually understand the manufacturing process (in this case equally to programming). The game isn't dead though. On the Nintendo switch I went in a couple of times witnessing full servers late at night yesterday. This company will recover and is definitely on the right track. There was never a need for anger though, however this response likely did actually help Aspyr make good decisions. This should succeed on the Nintendo switch. Especially given that there is no EA Battlefront on the switch even though that probably should have gotten a port.

No, it doesn't. Sick of these companies getting away with releasing rubbish, and hoping to get praise when they "fix" it. This was a lay up, and they somehow popped the basketball. They could of done so well with this, and its still not even of decent quality.

1 last thing, the OG game modded puts this to shame. They were paid to develop this. 🤦
If they really want to redeem the collection? They practically must redo the whole thing. They ought to do something more along the lines of the Battlefront 2 Remastered modification, new models and textures, (no upscales but redraws) then also using the original Xbox version as the basis in terms of options and how aiming will respond instead add mouse and keyboard support on top of that all and XL. Compartmentalise the Multiplayer for all the titles all into one browser with crossplay and significantly more dedicated servers. Including with this both PSP exclusive Battlefront titles as well as the original titles. If they want an MCC style comeback this will be the road.
The people who will undoubtedly praise Aspyr for patching stuff that should've worked from the get go deserve getting scammed, seriously, this level of incompetence should be unacceptable, but people will just put up with it anyways.
-Patch notes for a 2 decade old game - check -still busted ass servers - check -no updates on mod compatibility - check -still limited to 2 player split screen despite the original having 4 player split screen - check -sill huge storage size for a 2 decade old game - check new features that could've been added but still aren't - steam workshop for mods - online galactic conquest - online campaign - cross play - community mod updates for console players (think what Bethesda does but if less greedy) So much love and passion could've been put into this game if there was an ounce of effort. This is one of my favorite games of all time so this just saddens me. not just the bad press but what could've been...
The retextured the game with AI, I would of loved if they did do those things but when i figured that out I knew it was going to be a half assed remaster
@@xvoidxhunter2129 Well, obviously, because it still wouldn't be close to the ideal situation. Delaying it would just have been the lesser of two evils, so yes people would still have complained, and rightfully so.
I don't care, I'm sick of devs scapegoating themselves because of the higher ups. Maybe it was entirely the decisions of higher ups, but the DEVS are ALSO at fault for CHOOSING to work on a game they KNEW wouldn't be able to be released on the date asked of them in a playable state. If devs are going to work on games they know they can't make good, then it IS their fault and should follow them around for the rest of their careers. That way maybe we'll see people STOP working for these pathetic companies that don't know how to release a 20 year old game in a working state.
As a Battlefront II (2017) player, the best thing about this whole debacle is that it's brought a surge of players to that game, which has been dying a very long death. For the first time in years, there are certain game modes active in certain parts of the world, which is amazing!
CD Projekt Red don't get a pass. It still isn't as good as it was advertised, and they're finished working on it. It's just a pretty open world game, the story is stale and the game play is nothing new.
@@Theframeinator They chose to work on the game, so it's their fault too. Devs need to be held accountable just as much as the higher ups who make the BS decisions because otherwise we'll keep getting the same trash. If Devs are CHOOSING to work for these companies, they are just as responsible for knowing they couldn't pick when it needs to be done by and they obviously didn't know they would be able to do it in the alotted time, so that is their fault.
They fixed the galactic conquest UI causing soft locks during the bonus select screen. Which I personally sent in a ticket for. They’ve patched a lot of the issues in the game but I’m afraid it’s too little; too late. I can’t find a full match to try the network improvements. The state of launch turned away so many people immediately and they’re not gonna come back.
I was super excited for this being announced, only found out about it less than a month ago. Was the first game in a long time I was going to buy, I literally have 50$ worth of microsoft point rewards in my account and after HOURS of searching, there's no game I even want. That is how bad gaming is now, even with the money to buy a full priced game, even if I had 70, there's NOTHING I want. This Star Wars Battlefront was going to be my go to game for awhile I thought. And now? I don't care if they fixed everything about it, too little too late is right. I will NEVER buy this abomination of a product.
Maybe in few years they will make some Star Wars KOTOR mods for this game. I would like to see Mandalorian Wars maps, units, and new heroes like Revan and Mandalore the Ultimate.
to be honest bro, you're better off getting the classic bf2 version already on steam and just download the kotor mods lmao. aspyr will never do that shit.
Release broken > get money first > fix later.. 2020's gaming industry scheme still going. And us gamers cant do shit about it no matter how many companys get backlash. Aspyr are not the only ones. Though i gotta say, releasing a remaster basicly for whole 30 bucks is actually wild, im not gonna buy this game over 13.
What upsets me is the fact that I feel kind of bad for the developers. Because visually the game actually looks really good. There are some glitches, but they did a pretty good job in revamping a game from 2005. I wholeheartedly believe that the developers and engineers did not have enough time to push the game out in a more ready state. It came down to profits for the people in charge and the suits and the shareholders. But I know that all of the responsibility of the stability of the game is not on the developers.
Release game under early access for $5 off base price, encourage the community to share and complain about bugs, with the community full aware unrelease the game for 1 week and patch, release the game to the hype and fan fare that unreleasing the game had caused, and it would of been much smoother
They lied about using a modders work which is legal. If you won’t be honest about doing something you are allowed to do and then won’t even do a “let’s give thanks to so and so for their hard work we are using” then what makes me think you’ll fix the game entirely or have any other game be complete. And compress your damn files!
um no, hiding an existing option in setting is not lazy. it's a dick move that you actively have to work to do. they removed something or made it "hidden" then after release they said: "we know people hate this, we'll fix it after release." personally, i despise inverted controls, especially in games where it's finicky with some thing are inverted and others aren't. yes, the story in the campaigns of these games were awesome. why the hell would you cut out like half of the cut scenes? the fact that they patched it at all is nice but they're not out of the dog house yet, so to speak.
They promised multiplayer, the only reason I bought the game was so I could play the online I couldn’t as a child. And it wasn’t there, AT LAUNCH! So no, I refuse to tolerate it. I will take my money elsewhere.
I’m reaching out in desperation for an answer. Couldn’t find anyone else talking about it, and I’m wondering if I’m being punked but in BF2 whenever I hit anything with my lightsaber, these weird comic book pop ups effect literally POP UP. IT MAKES ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE! Had anyone else encountered this?
@@rohansampat1995 like any time you hit an enemy with the saber, it’s literally like “KICK WHAM POP!” like a comic book. Someone else said maybe it’s a cheat, I didn’t put in any cheats lol I’m soooo confused
No matter what, this game was destined to fail. Aspyr made sure of that when they didn’t include cross-compatibility and they region locked the servers. If Aspyr wants to save this game, they’ll have to fix those issues. In addition to that, they could add the PSP exclusive Battlefront titles to the game at some point and maybe even update that atrocious main menu. We’ll see what they do. The game still has potential. I’d be willing to repurchase the game if they make some major fixes. I’d even be willing to buy new DLC for BF2 if they made it (and the game worked).
Aspyr having to delay a 20 year old game re-release with barely any new features would've been equally disgraceful and pathetic, the Steam player count is already below 1000 at peak times and im sure it's just slightly higher on consoles so this game was pretty much dead on arrival, people need to stop shelling out money for these obvious cashgrabs.
If anyone on PC can confirm: does the game still crash when you try to start the Rhen Var mission in the BF1 campaign? Maybe it was just on my end, but I wasn't sure if anyone else was getting it.
Smart. ALWAYS wait for reviews. Think friend, they released a 20 YEAR OLD GAME, broken and less finished than it was 20 years ago. That means NOTHING Is safe, ever. Always wait for TRUSTED reviews.
Exactly, I saw Battlefront and was like "fuck yeah! where's my wallet?" but then I remembered how AAA games are these days. Even if they didn't fuck up the launch (which they did) it still might not have worked very well to the point of being worth $35.
So I don't get it are they only fixing their screw ups or adding stuff to the game, cause if so we should not praise them for any of that, that should just be expected
At this point I've accepted that being a star wars fan means getting shit on and then getting a bad saving-grace deal afterwards. Fuck it. Back to KOTOR 1&2.
Hey Luke! I think you should make a video detailing the nature of Nihilus' force drain. There's a huge misconception in the general Star Wars community that his drain worked the same as all other force drains we see other characters using, and that it could be resisted the same way. It incredibly undermines the terrifying threat he represented, and also cheapens his and The Exile's nature as force wounds. There's various Kreia quotes and lore bits that simply prove it is an entirely different technique, which makes me baffled at how it's even possible that such misconceptions exist. Would you like to discuss it? I hope to hear from you!
I find it hilarious that the original bf2 on pc has multiplayer that's still alive with up to 64 players I've seen on some servers, it's crazy. Mind you, because the game doesn't have dedicated servers, or just fucked netcode, the original game does have some rubber banding issues, but it's not that bad even on a full server, perhaps GOG will fix the netcode for that version, since starwars battlefront has been in the news lately, or even a update for widescreen and a improved main menu would be nice.
This is the beta launch. Didn't you know? Nowadays you have to pay for the full release of a game and that's beta launch. The first patch is the real way the game should've probably released, or in cases as bad as this, might be a few patches to get to how it should've released.
People are saying Aspyr is just lazy maybe not lazy but not given enough time to finish it, because the higher ups said to release it way to early. Plus the tomb raider collection was pretty good so just cause they didn’t do well doesn’t mean they are always terrible.
At least from what I’m seeing I can’t see a reason to justify buying this “remaster” when you could just buy the first and second game for significantly cheaper (and a much smaller file size) on Steam
That's absolutely fantastic. The remake of these 10 GB games together is 75 GB and now adding another 15 GB on to that. I'm loving this so far it's taking up so much space for these PS2 games
Literally feels like they took notes from WB studios with what they did with MK1, released a half assed unfinished game with a crap ton of bugs and imbalance.
Buddy of mine used to coop galactic conquest in battlefront 2 all the time for years. When they announced this we were both excited to relieve those times. Imagine our disappointment when we realized there was no online component to galactic conquest. Bit hard to split screen when you live in different states now.
@@russianoverkill3715 No, but Pandemic has gone under and there's not a group of people who can raise potential rights issues with Battlefront 1 and 2. Rebellion however is around still, could raise potential issues, and also made both Elite and Renegade on their own engine and the people who MADE both of them are still at Rebellion. Rebellion doing a remake or remaster collection of Renegade and Elite would be far better than if someone else did it because they still have the original dev team around to work on them.
Hopefully they patch the game to be what fans wanted for a re-release, meaning 4 Player Splittscreen (with the ability to play online too), Crossplay, Online Galactic Conquest and Steam Workshop support (or proper modsupport on PC in general). I still want this to be a win just for the Splittscreen alone and because OG Classic Battlefront is pretty terrible online (30FPS lock), its a big improvement in the Collection actually.
Did everyone forget that we ran into a sort of similar problem with EA's battlefront 2? We just gave it time and it eventually became one of our favorite games I have faith that this will eventually be what we wanted it to be
Its easier to recover from an original new game rather than a remaster/remake. We even have an alternative still available. Their rep is damaged, people already refunded and quit, and that fumble will be the first thing people are reminded of before buying or trying again. Even if they get numbers back up, they'll likely be so low they'll end up on the chopping block.
Why?, WHY couldn't they have this "update" BEFORE release? Save the CUSTOMERS AND THEMSELVES a WHOLE lot of headaches. It seems allll they had to do is WAIT a couple of...weeks. What the...electric bill come in? Had to get some quick cash or something? Hell, THAT would...make sense.
I’m enjoying it immensely when it works properly, it’s just the atrocious hit detection and random lag that’ll frustrate me at times, but I feel like those issues can easily be fixed. I just hope they don’t stop with improvements now and they continue listening to the community’s feedback💯
Was thinking about getting this if/wgeb it comes to console. Dont think i will now, unless its actually a playable game by then. I wont hold my breath.
A recent update made the game worse for me, my legendary status effects no longer work. i have to earn war hero every match again to get the effect rather than starting the match with it
The amount of issues with this release is baffling, especially when - as you say - many of the bugs could have been fixed so quickly. Imagine if they'd held back and released it on May 4th in perfect condition...
Maybe I haven't said this yet here, but I have elsewhere. The only reason the download size is so large is because of language packs. There is a way to turn off extra language packs in steam. If you do this the patch that I downloaded was I believe 8 gigabytes. Also my game is only 31 GB.
@@100StarWars Hmm, then I could be wrong with this game. Typically, with other games I have, the language packs are rather large. A lot of size differences between council and PC versions is due to language packs and some regional data. I'll double check this when I get home, but I thought that's why my version was smaller in size.
I think the only way we can save this game is to Yes of course fix all the bugs but also Fix the Install size. Bring it down from 80 to 25GB or smaller at least. No one wants to spend 80 GB of space on games that originally were 8gb, unless it was a total remaster with remastered graphics and everything, but it's not. Just a refresher pretty much
I will play the devil's advocate and say that the early access version you played already exposed the issues they were having and they started working at it then, maybe not in the "red alert" mode. From dev's perspective those issues aren't sounding like something that can be easily fixed in a week or so. But yeah I agree with 99% of the things you say here
I want to buy this on Switch. I want to know if the HIT DETECTION is good on the Switch. I am not buying it until I can figure that out. Unfortunately, I don't expect that information to be available anytime soon.
If they added in cross play and added in DLC which could even be the maps from bf1 into bf2 and vice versa, that would bring a ton of people back. Make that free dlc and a couple new maps for $3-5, BOOM! Revived. It's that simple.
Thanks for the new vid! For me, there really isn't any major reason for me to buy this re-release when I already have the originals in my Steam library and was able to get both for a fraction of the price for this re-release. On top of that, the originals have a great library of community-made content and even if you download a good amount of community-made mods and visual updates, it's file size is only a small fraction of the bloated size this new version has.
I propose a law that makes it illegal to release games in poor state, and makes the developers iron out literally everything untill the game is playable, otherwise they risk a multi-million dollar fine
It's so insane to see how different of a game this is compared to Xbox. Yes their are some bugs, but it isn't this horrible. I do agree cross-platform should've been an option. We could've seen more players. However, it'd playable. If they are updating it, that's amazing news to me because I was hearing they weren't going to do this at all.
"Did they fix it?" I don't care! It's too damn late! They should have done it right the first time, or left it well enough alone. Clearly, the modders know more than Aspyr. They already did the Classic Collection with mods.
We need some internet coders to study this game and tell us what exactly is the gluttonous amount of data that they have. This update alone is bigger than both of the original games combined. And aside from some of the technical issues of the time of their original release they work fine. It’s not the graphics because they didn’t do an overhaul like halo 2. They didn’t add a mountain of content like adding new maps of say all the old republic maps, new mechanics like going into and outta space or added any new glasses. So what’s in the data they added? so what the hlll is the 80+GB of date for?
The fact they havent really communicated about this patch, shows the state of this game. My guess is after the release, they were either threatened with layoffs if not corrected, or some other incentive to do this. Remember, this studio fumbled BIG TIME on a guaranteed success. Pure, incompetence from Asspyr. So happy I refunded this, to pay for Helldivers 2.
Even if they fix every single issue, it doesn t change the scummy and reprehensible business practices that got us here in the first place. They don't deserve anyone's money. I'm just going to play the original, not broken version for a fraction of the price and 20 years worth of free mod support that make it look better than this

the fact that they patched it at all is nice but they're not out of the dog house yet, so to speak.
Just because the wound may heal, doesnt mean all is forgiven. Ill use my wallet to vito this one.
They promised multiplayer, the only reason I bought the game was so I could play the online I couldn’t as a child. And it wasn’t there, AT LAUNCH! So no, I refuse to tolerate it. I will take my money elsewhere.
Helldivers 2 for that price. Might be more enticing.
no galactic conquest online is a crime, that would have made the game fresh.
all we wished for was the game by itself with 64 player lobbies and the ablilty to party up with ur bros
I’m reaching out in desperation for an answer. Couldn’t find anyone else talking about it, and I’m wondering if I’m being punked but in BF2 whenever I hit anything with my lightsaber, these weird comic book pop ups effect literally POP UP. IT MAKES ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE!
Had anyone else encountered this?
That's funny an random.
what the hell are you on about?
sounds like the cheat code to me lmao
@@rohansampat1995 like any time you hit an enemy with the saber, it’s literally like “KICK WHAM POP!” like a comic book. Someone else said maybe it’s a cheat, I didn’t put in any cheats lol I’m soooo confused
Yes, this is the cheat code LJ mentioned. You must have activated it accidently or it's glitched and it permanently stuck.
No matter what, this game was destined to fail. Aspyr made sure of that when they didn’t include cross-compatibility and they region locked the servers. If Aspyr wants to save this game, they’ll have to fix those issues.
In addition to that, they could add the PSP exclusive Battlefront titles to the game at some point and maybe even update that atrocious main menu.
We’ll see what they do. The game still has potential. I’d be willing to repurchase the game if they make some major fixes. I’d even be willing to buy new DLC for BF2 if they made it (and the game worked).
I definitely wish were battlefront elite squadron and renegade squadron into collection doesn't feel right why not in it
Aspyr having to delay a 20 year old game re-release with barely any new features would've been equally disgraceful and pathetic, the Steam player count is already below 1000 at peak times and im sure it's just slightly higher on consoles so this game was pretty much dead on arrival, people need to stop shelling out money for these obvious cashgrabs.
Just discovered you... TIME TO BINGE!!!
*In Emperor Palpatine voice* Goooooooooooooooooooood
If anyone on PC can confirm: does the game still crash when you try to start the Rhen Var mission in the BF1 campaign? Maybe it was just on my end, but I wasn't sure if anyone else was getting it.
I almost preordered but i told myself wait until reviews and thank god i did
Smart. ALWAYS wait for reviews. Think friend, they released a 20 YEAR OLD GAME, broken and less finished than it was 20 years ago. That means NOTHING Is safe, ever. Always wait for TRUSTED reviews.
Exactly, I saw Battlefront and was like "fuck yeah! where's my wallet?" but then I remembered how AAA games are these days. Even if they didn't fuck up the launch (which they did) it still might not have worked very well to the point of being worth $35.
The update still isn’t even out on PS5
So I don't get it are they only fixing their screw ups or adding stuff to the game, cause if so we should not praise them for any of that, that should just be expected

At this point I've accepted that being a star wars fan means getting shit on and then getting a bad saving-grace deal afterwards.
Fuck it.
Back to KOTOR 1&2.
Hey Luke! I think you should make a video detailing the nature of Nihilus' force drain. There's a huge misconception in the general Star Wars community that his drain worked the same as all other force drains we see other characters using, and that it could be resisted the same way. It incredibly undermines the terrifying threat he represented, and also cheapens his and The Exile's nature as force wounds. There's various Kreia quotes and lore bits that simply prove it is an entirely different technique, which makes me baffled at how it's even possible that such misconceptions exist. Would you like to discuss it? I hope to hear from you!
Did they restore the missing cutscenes?
As far as I know, yes!
I find it hilarious that the original bf2 on pc has multiplayer that's still alive with up to 64 players I've seen on some servers, it's crazy. Mind you, because the game doesn't have dedicated servers, or just fucked netcode, the original game does have some rubber banding issues, but it's not that bad even on a full server, perhaps GOG will fix the netcode for that version, since starwars battlefront has been in the news lately, or even a update for widescreen and a improved main menu would be nice.
Everything could have literally been prevented by a beta launch
Could've been prevented if they just had communcation with us Creators who were playing it a week in advance and we could've told them this haha
This is the beta launch. Didn't you know? Nowadays you have to pay for the full release of a game and that's beta launch. The first patch is the real way the game should've probably released, or in cases as bad as this, might be a few patches to get to how it should've released.
Beta launch for a 20yr old game?
@@KingShibe That's how trash the industry is now. AAA Gaming Industry is garbage. We need to buy almost exclusively Indie Games
@eldenvedetta635 the game is 20yrs old. You've had more than enough time to play it
People are saying Aspyr is just lazy maybe not lazy but not given enough time to finish it, because the higher ups said to release it way to early. Plus the tomb raider collection was pretty good so just cause they didn’t do well doesn’t mean they are always terrible.
At least from what I’m seeing I can’t see a reason to justify buying this “remaster” when you could just buy the first and second game for significantly cheaper (and a much smaller file size) on Steam
That's absolutely fantastic. The remake of these 10 GB games together is 75 GB and now adding another 15 GB on to that. I'm loving this so far it's taking up so much space for these PS2 games
Literally feels like they took notes from WB studios with what they did with MK1, released a half assed unfinished game with a crap ton of bugs and imbalance.
Buddy of mine used to coop galactic conquest in battlefront 2 all the time for years. When they announced this we were both excited to relieve those times. Imagine our disappointment when we realized there was no online component to galactic conquest. Bit hard to split screen when you live in different states now.
PS5 and PS4 players can at least use share play to do that 😅
Hoping to get this on sale sometime since I don’t have a way to play the original versions
Single player is pretty much 100% fixed. If u enjoy the ton of offline stuff, then go for it
Kit's sabre was supposed to have a moving distortion effect that was missing
If it's classic collection, then where's Elite Squadron and Renegade Squardon? Those games are battlefronts too.
same should have been into collection
Rebellion made them, which means it's up to Rebellion to remake or remaster them.
@@kabob0077 so? Aspyr didn't make main battlefront games either.
@@russianoverkill3715 No, but Pandemic has gone under and there's not a group of people who can raise potential rights issues with Battlefront 1 and 2. Rebellion however is around still, could raise potential issues, and also made both Elite and Renegade on their own engine and the people who MADE both of them are still at Rebellion. Rebellion doing a remake or remaster collection of Renegade and Elite would be far better than if someone else did it because they still have the original dev team around to work on them.
Hopefully they patch the game to be what fans wanted for a re-release, meaning 4 Player Splittscreen (with the ability to play online too), Crossplay, Online Galactic Conquest and Steam Workshop support (or proper modsupport on PC in general). I still want this to be a win just for the Splittscreen alone and because OG Classic Battlefront is pretty terrible online (30FPS lock), its a big improvement in the Collection actually.
Did everyone forget that we ran into a sort of similar problem with EA's battlefront 2? We just gave it time and it eventually became one of our favorite games I have faith that this will eventually be what we wanted it to be
Ohhhhhwwwwww TAITED REALEASE !!!!!! Marlin Manson would be proud 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Its easier to recover from an original new game rather than a remaster/remake. We even have an alternative still available. Their rep is damaged, people already refunded and quit, and that fumble will be the first thing people are reminded of before buying or trying again. Even if they get numbers back up, they'll likely be so low they'll end up on the chopping block.
im sooooooooo over games taking up so much storage nowadays, especially a 20 year old game it such a joke😢 im so over aspyr now honestly...
Take me back to my 128MB Playstation Memory Card...
@@100StarWars Yeah, when you could have tons more FULL games on that little memory card, but can have 3 games on a 3 terabyte harddrive now.
@@100StarWars PLEASE!
Indie games are still a thing ;-)
1-5 Gb, no bullshit - as usual!
Why?, WHY couldn't they have this "update" BEFORE release? Save the CUSTOMERS AND THEMSELVES a WHOLE lot of headaches. It seems allll they had to do is WAIT a couple of...weeks. What the...electric bill come in? Had to get some quick cash or something? Hell, THAT would...make sense.
That's too intelligent!
Anyone else had minimal issues on console? It’s slightly glitchy but it works ok for me
I’m enjoying it immensely when it works properly, it’s just the atrocious hit detection and random lag that’ll frustrate me at times, but I feel like those issues can easily be fixed. I just hope they don’t stop with improvements now and they continue listening to the community’s feedback💯
I think people going to play EA's BF2 is the grandest insult to BFCC.
Thanks for reminding me to redownload that one .
I was thinking that too
Was thinking about getting this if/wgeb it comes to console. Dont think i will now, unless its actually a playable game by then. I wont hold my breath.
What update?
PS5 hasn't received a patch.
honestly the games industry is hitting the "we cant go back to the moon because we dont have the tech anymore" phase
I just want the beep beep beep boop boop boop sound right now
They fixed that
@@igorthelight you just made my week
@@Dankdalorde :-)
They need to fix the size as well. Clean up the files.
A recent update made the game worse for me, my legendary status effects no longer work. i have to earn war hero every match again to get the effect rather than starting the match with it
As a kid i didnt get a chance to play this multiplayer on my PS2. I was looking forward to it. Sadly in 2024 it's probably not meant to be.
The amount of issues with this release is baffling, especially when - as you say - many of the bugs could have been fixed so quickly. Imagine if they'd held back and released it on May 4th in perfect condition...
Only bought the game for story mode never got to finish it when I was little
I want to know, how did they triple the file size and how they plab on fixing it
Maybe I haven't said this yet here, but I have elsewhere. The only reason the download size is so large is because of language packs. There is a way to turn off extra language packs in steam. If you do this the patch that I downloaded was I believe 8 gigabytes. Also my game is only 31 GB.
No kidding.. Where do you find that?
Curious... I looked into this and my language packs are very small in size. KB kinda small.
@@100StarWars Hmm, then I could be wrong with this game. Typically, with other games I have, the language packs are rather large. A lot of size differences between council and PC versions is due to language packs and some regional data. I'll double check this when I get home, but I thought that's why my version was smaller in size.
@@100StarWars also I'm not referring to language differences in the UI, but in audio.
What they should’ve done was released the single player and then the multiplayer a week after.
Single player was broken too - buggy cutscenes ;-)
Can someone talk about if the single player works?
Single player works perfectly
@soundmind2321 thank you
It’s a shame Nightdive was too busy Remastering Dark Forces to give The BF collection their magic touch (make it good)
I think the only way we can save this game is to Yes of course fix all the bugs but also Fix the Install size. Bring it down from 80 to 25GB or smaller at least. No one wants to spend 80 GB of space on games that originally were 8gb, unless it was a total remaster with remastered graphics and everything, but it's not. Just a refresher pretty much
It's not 80??? At least not on ps5
@user-oi9cr6mb7g somehow the ps4 version is bigger than the ps5 version💀
@@kwc0435 that's cuz it's old gen. Needs more code to stabilize
I will play the devil's advocate and say that the early access version you played already exposed the issues they were having and they started working at it then, maybe not in the "red alert" mode. From dev's perspective those issues aren't sounding like something that can be easily fixed in a week or so. But yeah I agree with 99% of the things you say here
I want to buy this on Switch. I want to know if the HIT DETECTION is good on the Switch. I am not buying it until I can figure that out. Unfortunately, I don't expect that information to be available anytime soon.
What the hell is Embracer Group doing? They took a perfectly good company and are destroying it :(
I would say Aspyr's own leadership is doing that.
If they added in cross play and added in DLC which could even be the maps from bf1 into bf2 and vice versa, that would bring a ton of people back. Make that free dlc and a couple new maps for $3-5, BOOM! Revived. It's that simple.
I can't even find a single pc server with players now, quick search just takes you to empty servers with bots
Thanks for the new vid! For me, there really isn't any major reason for me to buy this re-release when I already have the originals in my Steam library and was able to get both for a fraction of the price for this re-release. On top of that, the originals have a great library of community-made content and even if you download a good amount of community-made mods and visual updates, it's file size is only a small fraction of the bloated size this new version has.
I propose a law that makes it illegal to release games in poor state, and makes the developers iron out literally everything untill the game is playable, otherwise they risk a multi-million dollar fine
lol i refunded the classic collection and now playing the original BF2 with mods, and its so much better thank god
If it’s possible they should add content to the game in future updates, I think that would be cool and stabilize the longevity of the game
Did you get the actual patch number? Please.
It's so insane to see how different of a game this is compared to Xbox. Yes their are some bugs, but it isn't this horrible. I do agree cross-platform should've been an option. We could've seen more players. However, it'd playable. If they are updating it, that's amazing news to me because I was hearing they weren't going to do this at all.
Ya know what they could also do? COMPRESS AND OPTIMIZE THE COLLECTION.
I can't find a physical copy of the Classic Collection. Can anybody help me find a physical ps4 version?
No redemption. The damage is already done.
And this is no complete new game like Cyberpunk 2077 or No Man's Sky.
How they turned 2 games totallying less than 10gB into nearly 70 is fucking astonishing.
"Did they fix it?"
I don't care! It's too damn late! They should have done it right the first time, or left it well enough alone. Clearly, the modders know more than Aspyr. They already did the Classic Collection with mods.
We need some internet coders to study this game and tell us what exactly is the gluttonous amount of data that they have. This update alone is bigger than both of the original games combined. And aside from some of the technical issues of the time of their original release they work fine.
It’s not the graphics because they didn’t do an overhaul like halo 2. They didn’t add a mountain of content like adding new maps of say all the old republic maps, new mechanics like going into and outta space or added any new glasses.
So what’s in the data they added?
so what the hlll is the 80+GB of date for?
If they want to make it up to the community they need to announce cross platform is going to be added as well as server improvements.
The fact they havent really communicated about this patch, shows the state of this game. My guess is after the release, they were either threatened with layoffs if not corrected, or some other incentive to do this. Remember, this studio fumbled BIG TIME on a guaranteed success. Pure, incompetence from Asspyr. So happy I refunded this, to pay for Helldivers 2.
Even if they fix every single issue, it doesn t change the scummy and reprehensible business practices that got us here in the first place. They don't deserve anyone's money. I'm just going to play the original, not broken version for a fraction of the price and 20 years worth of free mod support that make it look better than this
Its kinda wild how badly they completely bothched this game launch.
I’m still waiting to see if it’ll actually become playable. Maybe it’ll end up on Game Pass for us console boys
Thank u for the video 😚🥳
I don't think this is an Aspyr isssue.
This is an industry issues.
It's becoming more standard to release the game unfinished and patch it later.
