Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection Review - The Final Verdict
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 вер 2024
- It's certainly a time to be a fan of the classics, what with today's remasters and re-releases. Add Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection to the list -it delivers a solid and good-looking rendition of these old shooters and highlights their strengths.
From enjoyable campaigns that span the original and prequel trilogies to the stellar Galactic Conquest modes, Star Wars: Battlefront 1 and 2 are worth checking out, even after all these years. Of course, you still need to deal with issues, from the lack of variety in Galactic Conquest's objectives to the terrible AI teammates.
Nevertheless, everything else - from the unit variety and sheer scale of the battles to the authentic Star Wars look and feel and some new content - is on point. Whether you're a fan of the originals or the modern titles, Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection is worth checking out.
How are you going to talk about space battles and not show any gameplay, instead replaying the same clips over and over again?
I believe he sucks at it I think that why or he didn't record that mission.
Lazy video editing. 🥱
If you watch his latest video you'll know why lol he was payed to give them a good review and only played the single player. He tries to back track
This franchise needs a comeback
It cameback. With those shitty Battlefront 1 & 2 with tons of microtransactions and money milking persona.
@@TinkyWiwinky yes I agree
@@TinkyWiwinky2 ended up becoming good though
@@Cabbage22927 but it was due to fan demands on campaign mode. MPs were good enough to sustain a certain period until they started with the microtransactions, and then it went down again.
I'd take a full on Galactic Conquest game fleshed out for modern times. I'm definitely picking these up though.
I'm a simple man.
I see pre-Disney Star Wars, I buy it.
You are a Perfect Man with that
1st person looks weird lol. Used to 3rd person.
You can go into the settings and switch it. Many people did not know you could do this on the PS2
The original had first person. This is just a remaster not a remake. But honestly prefer this lol
@@nicobenji0248
It's not even a remaster. It's basically 1:1 port.
@@logandumontyou dont even have to do that. Just click left trigger and it automatically switches to 1st person mode. The option in the options is baffling.
Droid decka?????
They are no match for droidekas!
😂
3:09 Droiddeckakan!
There's definitely something off about this reviewer.
Dude just made a comment about this… this guy ain’t a Star Wars guy pronouncing it droid decka… he flat out pronounced it as if he’s never seen that word and never seen that droid lets be real..
Bro talks like a high functioning bot
I'm not trying to sound hateful here but this is a really bad review. Showing the entire thing in 1st person is a mistake, your mispronouncing alot of names and your showing repeated clips.
*You're
@@mr.warden118 ur
What’s with all the 1st person hate? There’s an option for both 1st & 3rd. Why aren’t people mad there’s no 2nd person? Lol
Wow the A.I. voice needs updating. Its so bad in this video
3:31 "sequentiality"
"location" "location" "location" "locations"
Just rerecord the lines if you need to edit this much that people think you're an AI voice 😂
I can’t take this guy seriously since he’s only playing first person
How is this rated an 8 out of 10 when it launched with only 3 online servers and is running into TONS of issues with multiplayer?
Because he didn't play multiplayer?
6:20 what? dude...this is NOT what it looked like on a PS2. a fan made HD texture pack has existed for years for the OG games on steam!
This won’t last long. Is the person talking an AI bot, because he mispronounces a lot of names
Yea I was thinking the same thing
Wtf are you on about. The person speaking and mispronouncing the names has nothing to do with the in game voice over
Gamingbolt has always been shit at doing actual research. Mispronouncing names is their bread and butter.
shut up
What won't last long?
I'm pretty curious - what were you saying instead of locations before the edit?
😂 Loc-Ations
No monetization???? It’s a must buy
Edit: This comment was made before the launch so it sucks that it went to shit.
almost, lack of crossplay determines where and ifthere are people to play against.
still better than the BS from a few years back.
@@w1-em4nqcross play is more an issue for pc than it is console players. As a console player myself I’d rather avoid the risk of hackers anyway
monetization is for 2 months after launch when all the reviews are in.
@@Michael_D37it’s a remaster, one of the reasons people buy remasters is because they’re harder to micro-transaction monetize. They could but there’d be so much backlash like the EA battlefronts had for loot boxes.
@@TheFivegoodemperorsit's not a remaster... just a Release!
Great, now bring back unreal tournament
Preach!
Hell ya
Epic killed Unreal series for Fornite, that won't happen.
When you give a mouse a cookie
He'll yes
I'm curious why you didn't mention in the video that galactic conquest is an offline only mode that does not support any online play whatsoever on any platform? Since galactic conquest is the main selling point for a lot of people, that should have been mentioned in the video - other than maybe at the end where it was "hinted" at when mentioning the 64-player multiplayer "except" for galactic conquest. Also, you didn't even compare the original releases with this new version. The games have been upscaled and Aspyr went in and up-rezzed many of the textures in the game, not to mention changed some of the game play even over the originals. You didn't mention any of that either. As just a review of this new collection, it's fine I guess as a review. But people are going to want to know if there are any changes, or fixes etc. over the originals if they played those games and let's face it this release is catered towards those original players probably more so than newbies to the franchise.
Oof. No coop galactic conquest? I'm out.
@Lord_of_Dread pretty sure you can havnt tasted it yet when I get home from work I'll try it out.
@@fadeapocalypse7560 It's been made very clear in every review I've watched/read and on Twitter that galactic conquest does not have any online support - yet. There is a post that was deleted apparently that said if the game does well enough, they may patch it in down the road. But it is not in the game at launch.
@@LordLOC What gameplay changes are you aware of? I heard you can't jump out flying vehicles on the first game anymore? Is there anything else?
@@GrooveSpaceArk Just general quality of life stuff mostly, though I've seen a couple reviews say the gunplay feels much smoother in this release than in the originals. And I think they tweaked loadouts for some of the characters you play as, but I only saw that in one review and haven't seen it mentioned anywhere else so I don't know about that one.
We need multiplayer Galactic Conquest!
No way is it not actually a part of it?
@@airanator1212 nope
maybe with Parsec? @@David-fd7if
Nah
It used to be over WLAN
DONT BUY IF YOU PLAY INVERTED , THEY HAVEN'T INCLUDED A Y AXIS BUTTON
No evidence this reviewer actually played the game.
The ending part with ki adi mundi is just from the battlefront updates channel. This whole video might be stolen content with an AI narrator.
I remember playing a demo for Battlefront 2 back in the day but couldn't afford to get it on my own at the time. This should be awesome
“Droid decka” 💀 who hired this man bruh
Pretty sure it's AI listen to how it says “locations” at the 4:03 mark
@@Polar349 So True i didn't even notice
What’s with the word location throughout the video? Lol sounds fast forwarded every time.
So like, is it remastered at all? I don't need a game review for the originals, I need to know if the new ones are worth buying. Has anything been fixed? Or improved?
wtf is a “droid DECKA”?!
Right!!! That kept hitting the ear wrong 😂
Its AI generated
No its the driod that rolls up into a ball with the shield its what they are called
@@Roundhead75 🤦 The video is voiced by AI which is why the pronunciation of the word droideka is wrong.
I'm so glad to see that this turned out to be exactly what we wanted. :)
Dude its not. These youtubers just hype it up because they dont want to talk crap about a game they probably got free
Except it has no Galactic Conquest. It's a no buy for me.
@@rangersnutIt does, they just didn’t magically make it an online mode in an old game.
No it's not. The multiplayer barely functions, has fps issues, and is something like 60 gigs.
Complete incompetence
@@ChronocritsNot trying to argue about Galactic Conquest, but it's not exactly "magic" to add an online feature to an old game. It's been done many times in other games. Not to say that it's easy, but it's definitely not magic.
Inverted controls are totally missing from both 1 & 2. This is unacceptable for a game that old and it’s 2024. Unfortunately devs don’t give a crap about the players or they would include this from the start, but I’m finding more and more that do a half ass job on control options and that’s sad. BTW load times on the Switch are very long.
PC players arent worried about crossplay lol. This game will be played on pc for years to come
Not true lol, I want to play with my friends on Xbox. This is a major L
Okay I just play few rounds they are very fast rounds on dedicated but on non dedicated there’s no one lol dnt play and why is it that I feel kinda ripped off 😅 did anyone feel the same ?
This will save Darksyde Phil’s house!
HINT HINT… SAVE THE HOUSE!
I wish I didn’t understand this meme/joke but unfortunately I do he’s the laughing stock of the internet
Support the Snort Fort!
@@AgentStargravesnort Burnell
Lmao I was not expecting to read a DSP comment in 2024. Can’t even remember the last time I watched a vid of his.
This has to be AI
No kidding he said "Droid dekka" WUT
@@FlyingAce1016 I knew IGN was lazy, but this? Holy Shit
Can you still play in the third person perspective? I sure hope so.
In my experience Battlefront 2 is completely broken. Shots just do not register, games seem to finish after about two minutes. It’s just not fun. Haven’t had any issues with Battlefront 1 though. Playing on PS5
"SUH-QUEN-CHI-ALITY"??? Who taught you how to talk??
3:30
I created my own Conquest match on Battlefront 2 Classic. I set the Reinforcements to 500. So the game started at 750 vrs 750 Ticket count. Game started with 16 Ai vrs 16 Ai, To shoot at until other players see the 750 count and stay. Please pass the word. Thank you.
Can we talk about how everyone thinks the guy talking is ai,lord forbid someone voice is just monotone😢
Because it is AI. Its not about it sounding monotone, but for there being no pauses in between some words. Like the whole intonation just sounds off
Those sound effects create instant nostalgia.
Public service announcement: Aspyr REMOVED the ability to invert your Y-axis in this game.
Back to the golden age of gaming
Ok i see you can create match but is that for everybody to join or only friebds can i not invite my friend to join me in a public lobby with 64 others like quick match?
a long time ago in a galaxy far far away..... good star wars games with no microtransactions or passes
Imagine if the reviewer waited long enough to actually review the whole package instead of responding later with "online is bad say wuuuuuuuut?!?"
No invert option is killing me
I swore to never pay for Star Wars again after TLJ and knew for sure we would never see the OG Battlefront again but who needs principles anyway
Cheaper to buy the old version and download graphics mod. Far better experience for less money. The potential here was massive. 20 years of improvements could have been implemented with an updated feel to the game. Its a graphics skin for £30. Its a joke. And the multiplayer is a shambles and just doesnt work.
I own these games physically on my Xbox and obviously it’s backwards compatible on the Xbox series X. My question is that since this game has re-released any special collection, does that mean the physical ones that I already own that is already backwards compatible inferior?
I've heard people have been experiencing issues on this game, hopefully aspyr patches it all like they said they would. So far on the ps4 it's been OK but needs work
The reviewer saying ‘Droid Deka’ for droid destroyers, is the same aspyr giving swbf 1&2 multiplayer with laggy and buggy servers… “Even though it look like the future…”
I'm so ready!! Already pre ordered on Steam 😀
They messed this game up so bad.
i find their lack of lootboxes disturbing.
bro what ☠️☠️
@@ordergus Bruh... Its a Starwars joke 😅
those are for 2 months after launch when all the reviews are in
@@Michael_D37 lmao
My man needs to get out of that 1st person view
Is it me or was this review voiced by AI?
Complaining about the AI while the previous big battlefront games had none at all. It is because of the derpy AI troopers I even look at this game.
Did the AI change from the original games? I recall the AI being quite good back then, but it has been ...oh geez, 2 decades now? So I might be remembering wrong. But I thought it was really decent and certainly better than bots I've experienced in games more recently. Hearing you complain about the AI makes me wonder if something changed.
I believe the originals had difficulty settings that would balance things out. The easiest difficulty would make your team smarter and stronger with the enemy team being a lot easier to run over, while the hardest difficulty was the opposite? Do I have that right? Is that still a thing here?
I'm concerned because bot matches were probably going to be my mainstay and I hope they are still fun.
The Ai still the same he is playing in the “normal” difficulty since you can select the ai dfficulty in the gameplay menu just like old ps2/xbox
Droid decka…. Droid decka..? Bro you’re reviewing a Star Wars game and pronounced it as if you’ve never played/nor watched Star Wars lol… everyone who has grown up watching or seen episodes 1-3 know how to pronounce that close enough. That’s just not knowing Star Wars the way you said it.
Because this is AI generated
These games although archaic > EA Battlefronts.
Change my mind.
This review means nothing to me now Because you said droid decka
Playing this game in 1st person is wild
My brother and I spent hours with the originals. That feels like forever ago.
Anyone have any idea if the campaign has online co op?
AFAIK all modes support online play EXCEPT galactic conquest. That one is offline only. I could be wrong about campaign coop though, haven't seen that mentioned in any coverage specifically to be fair.
Does Galactic Conquest have online?
I’m playing it but the lack of cross play is a real blemish. Other than that, I love it. Online has been fine for me so far
How are the campaigns?
Dope
Thanks
Very short but very fun and memorable
@@Youraveragegamer_97awesome thanks. Is their a campaign for both?
@@skeletorfive5585 Yes. And both games also have a Galactic Conquest mode for every faction
Who pronounces Droideka like that?
who spells droideka like that
An AI
@@clarityreunited ohh oops. Thanks buddy haha
Can someone please tell me where to find the option to have inverted controls.
Sorry to tell u and I'm a little upset too bc I play inverted.....there is no inverted option on bf1 or bf2
@@codycry3196Yea, it sux and worst or all is that the Switch has no way to choose inverted controls in the Switch controller menu! 😫
I have these on backward compaitible but I'll buy the rerelease. The graphics look better and new maps and heroes sound dope.
Controls are TERRIBLE. Even if you turn sensitivity down it still feels super high. Needs fixed asap...
Can you play galactic conquest 2p coop online?
It appears not
@@lucasdieter1939 thats really disappointing. I played this so many times back in the days with my brother coop splitscreen. But since we dont live with our parents anymore and grown up we still want to play this game, so online coop would be amazing. We dont like de massive online multiplayer
While it's cool that the games get revived, I don't see any reason to switch tbh, given that it are straight 1:1 ports.
This review is fake. Nothing this thing says is true. Watch any other review of this trainwreck. Its 72gb install size! Or the only 3 servers for this whole game 3!
have multiplayer offline with bots???
I can't invert y axis!!!
Yup invert controls aren't an option for bf1 or bf2 which sucks cause I play on invert to so playing this feels weird hopefully they add it in later
They should just make a new battlefront with the great graphics the new one has but add all the previous maps skins and everything from the older ones while also making it cross play so u can play with ur friends it’d be more fun and the game would last even longer:) also add more heroes maybe like Mandalorian and captain Rex, etc..
The nostalgia is strong with this one 😎
BF II was one of my favorite games to play on PSP...
I wish they would launch the game already on switch I thought it was a midnight release and it’s well past that now :/
I'm buying this tomorrow
Save your money. I bought it for 34 bucks on PlayStation. It should 10 bucks.
Glad this turned out as good as we hoped. Guys, the force is with us again!
This shit is not good bruh 😂
Never pre order!
There’s a reason why every one kept comparing EA battlefront to this one
The lack of cross play here is beyond disappointing. Here’s to dreaming that one day they add it in to allow everyone to come together to enjoy their favorite games!
In a way it's a good thing because then you don't have to deal with hackers on PC.
No crossplay is a blessing! I'm glad it's not in and hope it never makes its way in.
No crossplay is brilliant. Crossplay is unfair when PC users have every single advantage and half them use cheats and mods.
Fuck Cross play. Long live the console war
there's nothing wrong with crossplay as long as you have an option to disable it. people want to play with their friends across platforms. just because you want to limit yourself to 1 platform, doesn't mean that others should too.@@AJediKnight1
How do I invert controls?
You cant
battlefront II campiagn was okay idk why people crap so hard on it
I have a question is the first game first person and the second game third person ? Can someone fill me in on the information ?
U can play 1st or 3rd person in both games
@@codycry3196 thanks
I have a funny feeling this will outsell the new battlefront games.
The first modern one was good fun 2nd nah,prefer the og trilogy...
@@cyber-shinobi3238 is that including the PSP game??
Yeah, that's very unlikely. Battlefront 1 sold over 14 million copies last I checked; this new collection isn't going to get anywhere near that. At least not for a couple years and only if word of mouth and influencers sell this like the best thing ever. Battlefront 2, not sure how much that one sold but I've seen estimates from 5 million to 8 million copies.
@@LordLOC look i get that. but now its head to head and people will make videos about which 1 is better.
@@theguyinthere True, but you did say you thought this would outsell the newer BF games :D I'm sure there will be plenty of comparison videos about why one is better than the other etc. though.
I’ve never played any of the battle fronts, so what’s the difference between the classic and the more recent battle fronts?
The new ones are a rebooted franchise, the classic collection is the originals from the PS2 era that everybody loves
EA got it and sucked the soul out of the franchise 🤣
This badly needed crossplay.
The servers are way too small and unstable for the amount of players they have there is no way to play with friends hero matches end super fast because each life costs a lot more than normal hoth has missing textures
Gungan models crash the game the ui is worse story missions are missing cutscenes frequent disconnects incorrect audio output teams can't spawn in certain modes
Ah yes the droid decka the long lost brother of the droidekas
Wait a minute wait a minute 501st legion? Did GB just drop a support unit hint because when I heard the number 501st i immediately thought of captain Rex
That's what the legion has been knows since always, it was always there before TCW
, It's based on a real life fan group of cosplayers
well that makes sense. Now imagine this for a second your in a tight spot in a battle then out of nowhere you call for support and commander Cody and captain Rex just drop down from a transport unit like titans dropping in Titanfall
You play as a 501st trooper, from Geonosis to Hoth.
This game came before TCW was a thing.
How to invite friends?
How do i invite friends to a server
This aged like Milk.
This review is so weird. The content the person is talking about doesn’t match at all with the gameplay. You couldn’t have had someone edit some space battle gameplay when talking about space battles??? It’s just lazy
Soooo what’s you’re verdict now for this dumpster fire. To be honest. I thought since I have the original Battlefront 2 on Xbox I could join in with the classics.
Nope. How a fool I was. Then I looked at the price for them. No thanks.
r/BattlefrontClassic subreddit will be playing heavy tomorrow! Good video.
Don't know if it's a bug or not, but you can't get the award rifle in bf2
You need to reach a certain rank to unlock it though
You need a rank higher than Green to unlock it after the kill requirements. After that, you need to reach the legendary rank to instantaenously win the Elite Rifle when you spawn.
The same applies to every other award.
Note: if you win an Award weapon but it doesnt appear in your hands, you have to switch guns back and forth to make it appear
@@lonewolfhero3526 thanks, I ended up figuring it out.
Servers are dogshit 😢
Can you play play 4player online in story and galactic conquest
Galactic conquest is offline only on all platforms.
@@LordLOC so only 2 players
Pure Star Wars game at its finest 👍
