How is this different?

[Astraeos]

How is this different than the original Battlefront that I already own on Steam? I'm incredibly confused here. What is the point of this? How is this not just re-releasing a 20 year old game with zero features that people arleady own on Steam?

From what the Steam store page says 64 players, Kit Fisto, Asajj Ventures, Some BFF maps now on BFF2, and the Hero mode on all maps now. Coming from Apyr porting almost all the Star Wars games. It seems like A port with add-ons.

I'd say more a port/re-release with community mods stolen and added into the game
(as, Fisto and Asajj have already been confirmed, by a mod maker, to be using animations that aren't the original ones from OG xbox dlc, which is because they are coming from the xbox dlc mod from the SAME MOD MAKER... an out of date version of it too)

> Yes, Fisto, Asajj, BF1C maps into are from OG Xbox DLC

40$ for a 5$ game? Lol.

The 64 players thing isn't even different from the original game, at least not on PC. I just loaded Battlefront 2 Classic up and confirmed that you can select 32 players per team. WTH aspyr? For me, none of that is worth paying for when you can literally get all of it for free or at least with mods.

I still own a physical copy of SWBF2 as well, 64 players were a thing 20 years ago. This game has so many great mods this rerelease just seems pointless.

The graphics appear to be updated, have not played this for quite some time and some games do not age well.

I am definitely in the camp thinking this is just for console guys, and I'm super happy for that. PC wise... I mean, it would have been nice if there was more done. Everyone wins if it was a bit more updated, more content, etc. However I'm still really happy to be in a position where I could have this on my living room, doing Citadel on the sequel game (one of the maps I missed the most until I did get the PC mod).

So basically 35 dollars for slightly touched graphics, nice. Nice. God I hate all these re-releases and remasters in name only. The gaming industry now is so ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up and greedy.

And this is why I basically swore off buying games since April of last year except for games that really catch my attention and that's extremely rare.

This now the trend and not all releases are bad. This one I did buy it but rethought about it as I have many of the Battleground brought alone or through bundles and got a refund and will wait and see after release.

$28 for owners of the original.

you clowns are ridiculous like actually chronically online. the most simple answer is this will re boost a more then dead game online. Steam you see 50-100 online on the servers even if its a 5k player boost its 5k players its such a win no matter how you look at it. if you don't have 30 bucks just say that instead

I would agree with you if the re-release had worthwhile changes. so far this release only makes the most sense for consoles, not on Steam. and no crossplay announcement means that online multiplayer will drop players faster.

Its not any different from the game you already own

the point of it is to make more money

It is quite literally re-releasing a 20 year old game with zero new features and people already own the individual games

Please give The Corporation (TM) your money.

Gents, this is the equivalent of having a big mouth and a little brain. The people that responded to you have more logic than you do. I was going to reply until I saw all their answers basically sum up to what I'd reply with.
