Visual Effects in Star Wars Battlefront II after 4 years are still the Best!

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 20 Dec 2021 20:15:00 +0000

After four years the graphics of Star Wars Battlefront II remain amazing . There is not other game in gaming history so offended and for so many wrong reasons but its Graphics and Visual Effects are not one of these reasons!

I am still playing the game with my 10 years old PC and i feel like i have new hardware. Star Wars Battlefront II remains the battleship of graphics in video games for 2021.

/period

I will re-post now a community article from SWBFII devs to remind you all why Star Wars Battlefront II still has the best Visual Effects.

You can still read the Original Post by DICE_Straatford, April 2020 Here, but i will re-post anything to archive it too ;)

Before you start reading i an warning you that this post below is using gif images and some of them are huge and if you are on mobile data change to not auto-play them!

INCOMING [HUGE] TRANSMISSION ...

   "Explosions, blasters, smoke, steam, fire, rain, lightning. Odds are that you’ve encountered these, and many more, of the Visual Effects (VFX for short) during your time playing Star Wars™ Battlefront™ II. Today we take a look at how VFX fit into the game, as well as the process behind some of them.

   Despite their obsequiousness, it can be quite difficult to pin-point exactly what VFX are in a game. Senior VFX artist Anders Egleus reflects on this.

   “Most people associate VFX with sprites, i.e. flat planes with transparent textures. But modern game engines like Frostbite have become so flexible and powerful that we can now use our VFX tools to create a lot of things that traditionally would have to be created by other parts of the game team, e.g. animation, lighting, technical art, even code. From birds and leaves on Naboo, to full scenes of background fighting with vehicles and hundreds of soldiers on Geonosis, a lot of people don’t even think of these elements as effects. Point being, our job is anything but repetitive, and because we dabble in many different areas of the game, we get to collaborate with a lot of talented artists, designers and coders too, which is super rewarding”.

One way of getting to grips with what VFX are in a game, is to categorize them based on the role they play.

How Artificial Intelligence Has Evolved Star Wars Battlefront II

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Fri, 03 Dec 2021 04:25:00 +0000

The AI of Star Wars Battlefront II is exactly what should be to help the game shine and the game shines!

Read now how EA developers created it.

If you’re a long-time player (or just generally observant), you’ve probably noticed how the implementation of non-human players – driven by AI (artificial intelligence) – has played a major role in the evolution of Star Wars™ Battlefront™ II throughout the year.

As we tend to talk a lot about the more, let’s say, tangible aspects of our game – be it new planets, heroes, reinforcements, that kind of thing – we wanted to take a moment to highlight the work of our coders and designers in this specific domain.

Hopefully, it’ll give you some noteworthy insight in how the AI operates under the hood, and why it ultimately allows our game designers to create awesome gameplay experiences and quintessential Star Wars battle moments.

AI controlled Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi teaming up, creating this quintessential Star Wars moment on the streets of Theed.

Heroes vs Villains is Finally ... Changing

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 15 May 2019 15:30:00 +0000

   With this month’s update, we’re completely reworking the targeting system in Heroes vs Villains. Now, defeating an enemy hero will add a point to your team’s elimination score, regardless of which one you defeat.

   With these new mechanics, the mode will no longer be a first to 10 target eliminations. Instead, the first team to reach 25 eliminations will be the victors of the match.

   We will also update the achievement for eliminations to reflect this change. It will now unlock upon eliminating 50 enemies in HvV rather than be tied to target eliminations.

   Thanks for the feedback on this one! This is one of the many changes we’ve made (and will continue to make) to the game that have been based directly on what players are asking for and talking about. Once this update goes live, let us know what you think!

    With your constant feedback, we plan to continue evolving the Heroes and Villains game modes as well as the iconic characters themselves, including another change that will be seen in this month’s update. We’re adding more versatility to Boba Fett’s jetpack this month, including in-air recoveries! More details on this will be shared in this month’s release notes.

Charlemagne, signing off.

May the 4th Special Event... starts on May 1st ! OK ? Roger Roger

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 01 May 2019 17:00:00 +0000

As mentioned in the recent release notes Community Transmission for April's update, we’re having an in-game event in Battlefront™ II to celebrate Star Wars Day!

The prize of this event is the iconic A New Hope (ok i want it) appearance for Leia Organa: Princess! Here’s how you can unlock this appearance.

Objective: Capture the command posts!

Collectively, 4 million command posts need to be captured in Capital Supremacy. If you capture more than one command post, you still count each time.

Giants Above Kachirho is a Huge Update !

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 25 Apr 2019 00:47:00 +0000

This month’s update primarily focuses on bug fixes with some minor content drops, but one of those drops is a surprise!

What about the droid attack on the Wookiees?

It's a system we cannot afford to lose!

To start, Capital Supremacy is expanding to Kashyyyk. The Clone Wars will be fighting on the Kachirho Beach in an all-new way. Don’t think this map is exactly the same as before, though. While it’s based on the Kashyyyk map from Galactic Assault, we have made some changes for it to function better in Capital Supremacy.

Hope.

Leading her forces into battle and holding the line when there was nowhere left to go, Leia Organa has always mastered the balance between princess and General. In preparation for May the Fourth in only a few days, we’re adding Leia’s iconic A New Hope appearance to the game: Princess! This appearance will be visible from the collection screen once the update goes live.

This isn’t just a regular appearance drop, though. To unlock this iconic look, players must take part in an in-game event by capturing command posts in Capital Supremacy! The May the Fourth Special Event will begin on May 1st and run until May 6th. Good luck, and may the Force be with you.

We’ll have more details on the event in just a few days time.

At last, we will have our revenge!

After much discussion and tweaking, as well as a healthy amount of player feedback, we’ve added blocking for Yoda and Darth Maul! Yoda still has the ability to absorb blaster bolts and lightning, but he’ll use his lightsaber to defend against lightsaber attacks. Darth Maul will use his lightsaber for both.

Capital Supremacy is Coming to Star Wars™ Battlefront™ II on March 26

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Tue, 26 Mar 2019 14:59:00 +0000

Master the dynamic combat on the ground and throughout capital ships in this Clone Wars-era authentic battle experience.

Starting March 26, the forces of the Galactic Republic and Separatists clash in Capital Supremacy* – an immersive, Clone Wars-era authentic experience in Star Wars™ Battlefront™ II – where non-linear ground battles fuse with the thrill of invading capital ships and taking them down.

Along with the update, we’re releasing our latest location, Pipeline Junction West on Geonosis, plus the Separatist Dreadnought and Republic Attack Cruiser capital ship interiors – all serving as settings to the dynamic and tactical warfare of Capital Supremacy.

Two additional reinforcement units join the battle as well – the Infiltrator class Republic ARC Trooper and Separatist BX Commando Droid. Make sure to read our deep-dive for full coverage on the elite operatives.

Now, let’s dig into how a round of Capital Supremacy goes down.

The ARC Trooper and BX Commando Droid Enter Star Wars™ Battlefront™ II

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sat, 23 Mar 2019 15:00:00 +0000

On March 26*, the Infiltrator reinforcement class is introduced to Star Wars™ Battlefront™ II. Infiltrators are highly skilled, tactical elite soldiers thriving on the hunt, equipped with weapons and devices suited for close-quarters encounters.

Let’s take a closer look at what’s in store.

The ARC Trooper – An Elite Soldier of the Galactic Republic

Advanced Recon Commandos, also known as ARC Troopers, were the elite soldiers of the Galactic Republic. They were often placed on missions too challenging for standard clones.

In Star Wars™ Battlefront™ II, the ARC Trooper wields two DC-17 hand blasters, a pistol carried by high-ranking members of the clone army. Making the ARC Trooper a lethal opponent in close quarters, the dual blasters are fired individually by pressing the triggers or mouse buttons.

The primary DC-17 can be charged up to deal out a precise Power Blast, as well. This Ability builds up a significant amount of heat to the weapon, but pays off with a long-range shot, inflicting high damage on infantry and vehicles alike.
The ARC Trooper is protected by a unique set of armor with experimental components, vastly modified from the standard kit. One such feature that you can make use of is the Helmet Scanner, sending out periodical pulses to reveal the positions of enemies through obstacles, walls, and smoke.
They also carry another tactical device – the Shock Trap. The Shock Trap sticks to any surface, triggers manually, and is thrown by the ARC Trooper to topple incoming enemies in the opposite direction with a sudden outburst of electricity.
Mainly a tool used to disrupt the enemy and get an upper hand on more powerful rivals, it deals a small amount of damage at the same time. We fully expect players to come up with some other, cunning appliances for this device as well
For regular clones, it was an immense honor to be promoted to serve as an ARC Trooper. It required valor, courage, and skill. Now, you can take that step as well.
Make the most of it, soldier!

The BX Commando Droid – A Lethal Infiltration Unit

The BX Commando Droid was a more robust version of the standard B1 Battle Droid, kitted with a tougher armor and programmed with advanced combat tactics. As such, they were suited for high-profile infiltration missions on the orders of the Separatist leaders.

Squad System Update is Alive and Kicking !!!

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 26 Sep 2018 20:14:00 +0000

Squad System
The new Squad System will allow you to re-join your friends, allies, and the action much quicker than before. If you’re already playing with a group of friends, you will be placed together into a squad. If you join a game on your own, you will be placed into a random squad.

When you are defeated, you will have the ability to toggle through a spectator camera. This camera will be focused on one of your squad members and you’ll then have the ability to spawn directly onto them. Want to spawn on a different squad member? Simply toggle through the spectator camera until you find the squad member of your choosing.

The new squad system also grants you the ability to play 2v2 Private Matches of Hero Showdown.

We went more in depth on the Squad System in its own dedicated Community Transmission, you can find that here.

91st Mobile Reconnaissance Corps
The 91st Recon Cops were a regiment of the Republic during the Clone Wars. Lead by commander CC-8826, or Neyo, the 91st were involved in many battles across the Clone Wars.

104th “Wolf Pack” Battalion
The Wolfpack was a battalion that active throughout the Clone Wars and known for numerous military operations. On one such encounter, they engaged on a night assault on one of the last remaining outposts of General Grievous.
The 104th Battalion can be identified by the iconic Wolf logo that identifies the squad, and the dark blue markings upon their armour.

Squad System in StarWarsBattlefrontII is Coming in the September update

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 06 Sep 2018 15:00:00 +0000

Incoming Transmission

Star Wars is full of stories where trusted friends and companions adventure together, and Star Wars Battlefront II is no different.

One of our favorite things to hear about is when a player does something awesome, but it’s even better when it is done with a friend or ally on the Battlefront. It’s these types of moments that we want to help create, and the new Squad System aims to do just that.

Coming in the September update, the new Squad System will allow you to rejoin your friends, allies and the action, much quicker than before.

The Glossary
Before we break down the Squad System, we thought we should clarify a selection of naming conventions that will be used throughout this Transmission.

Game Groups
These are formed within the social hub menu of Star Wars Battlefront II.

Squads
These are groups of 4 players that enter a game mode together.

Platform Party
These are groups that are formed outside of Star Wars Battlefront II, as part of your platform of choice.

We should highlight that there is no connection between a Platform Party and Game Groups. There is one exception, and this occurs on PlayStation 4 where players can create a Game Group outside of the game with the Play Together feature.

Elite Corps Update Details & Deployment Info - times

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 29 Aug 2018 04:31:00 +0000

We’re back for another Community Transmission and this time around, we’re going to be talking about the Elite Corps Update, which is due to arrive on August 29^th.

Let’s dive straight into what’s coming.

The 41^st Elite Corps, or Elite Corps as they came to be known, were a division of the Republic Army that were involved in many iconic battles during the Clone Wars.
Toward the end of the Clone Wars, Elite Corps were present at the Battle of Kashyyyk. Alongside Jedi Master Yoda, they came to the aid of the Wookiees on their home world. Other notable appearances were on Geonosis, where the Elite Corps were sent to assist Anakin Skywalker in retaking the planet.

The 327^th Star Corps were known for their distinctive yellow markings on their armor. Led by Jedi General Aayla Secura, they would take part in multiple battles across the Clone Wars. Notably, they were part of the Republic force that were defeated on Quell, despite the arrival of Anakin Skywalker.
The new Clone Trooper Appearances will be priced at 20,000 credits or 500 Crystals each and available for Assault, Heavy and Specialist classes for the Galactic Republic. If you’re looking to pick up all three appearances for each corp, then you’ll be able to take advantage of a bundle that costs 40,000 credits.

The Elite Corps Update Release Notes

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Tue, 28 Aug 2018 15:30:00 +0000

Hi everyone,

This month signals the beginning of a series of updates revolving around the Clone Wars! You can now fight on the battlefronts of Kashyyyk, Naboo and Kamino as members of the 41st Elite Corps and the 327th Star Corps. The first group of Clone Trooper appearances is now available to unlock for the Assault, Heavy and Specialist classes, when playing as the Galactic Republic. The new appearances will also be featured in the Home and Career screens of the Main Menu.

A new tile in the Home menu will allow for quicker matchmaking into Clone Wars related maps on Galactic Assault. By selecting that tile, you can prioritize matchmaking for Clone Wars - era maps. However, if a match is not currently running on any of those maps, you will get to play into any other Galactic Assault map. This is our first step to help improve matchmaking in the game. We are constantly working on improving our systems and strive to achieve progressively better matchmaking going forward.

All Emotes and Victory Poses for both Heroes and Troopers that are currently in-game are now available to unlock through Crystals or Credits. We have also enabled the ability to preview Emotes on appearances that are not yet unlocked. Additionally, in case you complete a milestone that rewards an already-unlocked Emote or Victory Pose, you will be provided with Credits instead.

In other news, the Palace Hangar on Naboo is now available for frantic blaster action on Blast and Custom Arcade. The map of Mos Eisley has also been added to Hero Showdown, for heroic duels outside the Cantina. As for those seeking thrills in the dark forests of Endor, due to popular demand, we are happy to say that Ewok Hunt mode will now be permanent under the Operations menu.

Continuing with our Quality of Life updates, we have now made it easier to figure out how you compare to other players when finishing a match. During the End of Round screen, you can find information on your overall scoreboard placement, as well as how you rank in terms of objective score and combat score across teams and whether you were part of the winning team.

We have also had a look at fixing different collision issues that have been pointed out by the community on a variety of maps, from Yavin and Bespin, to Endor and Crait. All of this on top of our normal round of balancing and bug fixes. As usual, let us know your feedback on all the changes.

Han Solo Season - Release Notes

noreply@blogger.com (Han Solo) — Tue, 15 May 2018 23:10:00 +0000

By F8RGE

Welcome to the start of the ""Han Solo Season""! To start things off we're focusing on those closest to Han. Both friend and foe.

In this update we revisit the iconic location of Jabba's Palace. inside Jabba's Palace were some of Han's friends in some of the most unique unique appearances in the Star Wars universe. Specifically Lando Calrissian in a Skiff Guard appearance and, as our first legendary Appearance, Leia Organa disguised as the bounty hunter Boussh – complete with the scrambled voice!

Han Solo Free Season

We’re also introducing a new permanent game mode where players will play as two Heroes against two Villains, where the winning team needs to change up their strategy to continue winning. We call it Hero Showdown!
On top of a new multiplayer mode, we have something for Arcade fans and fans of starfighter combat in general - Custom Arcade now has a mode for Starfighters! This provides the chance to try out the various starfighters whenever you want.

Lastly, we've introduced a few other improvements that we hope you enjoy; including the ability to Upgrade and Unlock Star Cards in the pre-round phase of a match and the addition of lore text to all of the Appearances!
As always we've squashed some bugs and continued balancing the game. Read on to see what else we've tweaked and let us know your thoughts!

The Star Wars Battlefront II Team

HEROES AND VILLAINS
Captain Phasma
Captain Phasma's STAFF STRIKES should be easier to hit and chain to an enemy. Since it's easier to connect now, we needed to remove some advantages on the two first strikes. We will still be keeping the incentive to land all 3 strikes as each strike is more powerful than the previous one. We'll monitor if it feels strong enough, but Captain Phasma should be much more enjoyable to play.

Added the closing functionality to all Phasma's staff strikes
Reduced the damage of the first strike from 150 to 120
Removing the push effect on the two first attacks
Captain Phasma's FIRST ORDER SENTRY DROID now progressively self-repairs after 6 seconds of not taking damage, instead of instantly repairing

Luke Skywalker
Lightsaber Attacks
Luke did not feel as in control of his lightsaber as he should since he has slightly slower swings than some other lightsaber users. We'll look at improving the damage if the current buff doesn't prove to be enough for him but we'd like to see the results of these changes.

Reduced the cost of melee for Luke increasing his max amount of swings from full stamina from 8 to 10

Push
This is the first change to add different damage values for Heroes and other Units. It felt like Luke was the perfect Character to start with as both Push and Repulse were very weak against non-Hero enemies. The base damage of both abilities still needed to be improved for combat against opposing Heroes.

Added non-Hero specific damage to Luke's PUSH at 150
Increased PUSH damage to Heroes from 65 to 90
Added Non-Hero specific damage to REPULSE at 130
Increased REPULSE damage to Heroes from 50 to 75

Dash

Players can now move a few frames earlier after using the Dash ability

Leia Organa
Defender Alt-Fire
The Defender Pistol Alt-fire was too damaging for the short charge up time and getting hit by it from afar was very frustrating. This is a first pass on balancing; we'll see how it changes her efficiency as we'd still like her to be a great ranged defensive character.

Reduced the Defender Alt-fire damage from 175 to 145
Reduced Leia's Defender Alt-fire explosion radius from 2 to 1 meters
Reduced Leia's Defender Alt-fire targeting angle from 3.5 to 2 degrees
Corrected text on Leia's "Relentless Firing" Star Card that referred to bullets instead of blaster bolts
Leia now receives the proper amount of health from the "For the Rebellion" Star Card
Fixed an issue when the Defender didn't play the fire animation as it fired

Emperor Palpatine
Health Regeneration
Palpatine's sustainability was way too high with both his health regeneration and the Lightning Absorbtion Star Card. His health regeneration was higher than melee characters and for a range character (even if closer than blaster users) that let him not care much about taking damage.

Reduced health regeneration from 300 to 250

Lightning Absorption Star Card
The health regeneration on the Lightning Absorbtion Star Card was too high. especially when hitting grouped-up troopers. With this change we want Emperor Palpatine players to care more about their positioning and rely less on easy regeneration.

Reduced amount of health regenerated by the Lightning Absorption Star Card by 5 on all rarities

Dual Hand Lightning
Dual hand lightning had the same angle as the single hand one and it was way too easy to deal heavy damage on enemies without having to target them.

Reduced the targeting angle from dual hand lightning from 14 to 10

Lando Calrissian
X8-NIGHT SNIPER
Pulling the trigger on the X8 was quite high for a light pistol, we reduced it to give the weapon a lighter feel on consoles.

Reduced weight to pull the trigger of the X8-Night sniper from 70% to 50%

Han Solo

Han Solo can no longer throw multiple Detonite Charges while being hit by a lightsaber

Iden Versio

The Shield Sustain Star Card now activates for the proper amount of time
Sound properly plays when dodging again

Lightsaber Heroes
Lightsaber Air Attacks

Fixed an issue where lightsaber wielding heroes could damage a deflecting hero by attacking while airborne.

Now lightsaber heroes get staggered when attacking a deflecting character while airborne.

Lightsaber Damage
With the short damage delay, lightsaber attacks felt better for the attacker but not for the player receiving the damage. We've increased that delay slightly in an attempt to get the best result for both players.

Increased lightsaber damage delay from 0.06 to 0.09 seconds

CLASSES, SPECIAL UNITS, & VEHICLES

Dodge
We're aware of the stuns locks from lightsabers and we wanted to make the dodge stronger without making it as strong as it was before.

With this change, we are first unifying the dodges. Some characters, like Yoda, didn't have the same speed and distance for their dodge and that put them at a high disadvantage. All of the dodges for force users are now similar and all dodges for blaster users are the same.

The second part was to get away from stuns locks. To that effect, you are now unstaggerable and immune to melee damage from the start of the dodge (It was a few frames in from before). This is a shorter time than it was on release (it was the whole animation back then) but still enough to feel that you can avoid being damaged.

Please feedback on this change as we're hoping it will improve the fighting experience while not lowering the lightsaber efficiency too much.

Unified dodge lengths among Force using characters to 5.5 meters
Unified dodge lengths among blaster wielding characters (Including Troopers) to 4.75 meters
Dodge now makes characters unstaggerable from the first frame and for a longer time.
Dodge now makes characters immune to Lightsaber, melee, or Phasma's Staff Strikes damage while unstaggerable (first frames of the animation)

Stagger
There was a few frames in the animation that felt static and where it felt like the characters could start moving. As such we’ve allowed movement and dodge earlier in the staggered animation after hitting a blocking lightsaber.

Flame Trooper

Fixed a visual issue with how the Flame Trooper's Flame Grenade was exploding
Using the FORTIFY ability will no longer disable idle animations

AT-ST

Fixed an issue with the AT-ST having their lights on even when it was sunny

GAME MODES AND LOCATIONS

GALACTIC ASSAULT

Fixed an issue where the player was able to use the LUIV beyond Phase 1 on Starkiller Base
Fixed an issue where the Ion Grenade exploded in mid-air before reaching the AT-AT or MTT

ARCADE

The Dark Side is stronger among STAR WARS Battlefront II Fans

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 25 Jan 2018 11:09:00 +0000

STAR WARS Battlefront II 's technical team released some very interest stats about the first months of the game . From the informations about the past and the future of the game the most interesting is that the Dark Side of the force picked 58% times while the Light Side picked 42% times . So, the universe is on balance but Darker !

Also no news about lootboxes and progression system revamped pushed back on March but they announced a new jet packs gamemode for a limited period and if i understood well it will be something like the Activision Blizzard 's Overwatch ... i don't want be on hurry and make conclusions but i think it will have success this game mode like Heroes Vs Villains can be an e-sport dedicated free 2 play game , but expansions like these need huge support and preparation and No Mistakes ... !

The whole announcement is this :

«
It's been an eventful few months for Star Wars™ fans, hasn't it? Star Wars™ : The Last Jedi ™ swept into theaters, and millions of players lived out their Star Wars fantasies in Star Wars™ Battlefront™ II. With the release of The Last Jedi Season, the Resistance's brave freedom fighters and the First Order's imposing stormtroopers engaged in desperate showdowns on Crait over 156 million times, while X-wings and TIE fighters chased each other through the skies above D’Qar.

Together, you completed over 10 million quests for your factions. 58% of you chose to join Captain Phasma and the First Order, while 42% fought alongside Finn and the Resistance.
And to quote Luke Skywalker on the salt-covered plains of Crait, “the war is just beginning.” The most recent update added Iden's TIE/LN fighter as a hero starfighter and incorporated the Crait map into Blast Mode. The next few months are packed with massive additions to Star Wars Battlefront II.

We're working on a revamped progression system. Your feedback has been essential here, and we are preparing significant changes to progression that will address many of the things we've seen players asking for. We'll be sharing more details about these changes in March.
A game mode called Jetpack Cargo is coming in February. Two teams of eight players equipped with jet packs compete in Jetpack Cargo, a frantic, fast-paced way to play. This mode will only be available for a limited time, so don’t miss it.
A new Season is coming soon. We’ve learned a lot from the first season of content for Star Wars Battlefront II, and we're integrating those insights into our plans moving forward. We know you’re waiting for details on what’s coming in the next season, and we’ll have more to tell you soon.

Our goal has always been to create the best possible experience taking into account the feedback of our fans to continue to evolve and grow Star Wars Battlefront II.

On behalf of everyone on the Star Wars Battlefront II team, may the Force™ be with you, and we will see you on the battlefront! »

Έξω κράζεις και μέσα αγοράζεις το StarWarsBattlefrontII για PS4

noreply@blogger.com (Han Solo) — Mon, 11 Dec 2017 04:00:00 +0000

     Δεν περάσαν 3 εβδομάδες από την μεγαλύτερη διαμαρτυρία εναντίον των Microtransactions που γνώρισε το διαδίκτυο και η λίστα με τα κατεβασμένα ( και αγορασμένα φυσικά ) παιχνίδια στην Αμερική για το PS4 μας αφήνει άφωνους με αυτά που βλέπουμε !

   Το Star Wars Battlefront II όχι μόνο δεν πήγε άσχημα , όπως διακαώς θέλουν οι ανταγωνιστές της ΕΑ αλλά και τα τρολς του internet (που κάποιες φορές είναι τα ίδια άτομα ) αλλά βρέθηκε στην δεύτερη θέση (source) μετά την αφαίρεση της δυνατότητας να αγοραστούν τα loot crates με πραγματικά λεφτά ΠΡΙΝ την επίσημη κυκλοφορία του παιχνιδιού . Έτσι βρέθηκε μια μόνο θέση πίσω από το παιχνίδι του κυριότερου ανταγωνιστή που σημειωτέον έχει πατεντάρει τα Microtransactions από το 2015 (δες την πατέντα εδώ ) στο οποίο γίνεται και εκτεταμένη χρήση τους όπως και σε όλα τα παιχνίδια της συγκεκριμένης εταιρείας συμπεριλαμβανομένου και του πρώτου στην λίστα της Αμερικής που δεν είναι άλλο από το Call of Duty: WWII .

    Είμαι σίγουρος ότι κάποιοι πιστεύετε ότι είναι αδιάφορη η είδηση και ότι δεν είναι άξια σεβασμού η αγορά των κονσολών και ότι η μόνη σοβαρή αγορά για τα video games ήταν , είναι και θα είναι τα παιχνίδια για PC .

    Δυστυχώς για τους λάτρεις των PC , αν δεν έχουν χάσει ακόμη την πρωτοκαθεδρία από τις κονσόλες την έχουν χάσει από τα κινητά που είναι πρώτα στις πωλήσεις : source . Θα έρθει ο καιρός που το Gaming στο pc θα τελειώσει άδοξα αν δεν κάνει κάτι η Microsoft που του ηγείται. Ποιος ξέχασε ότι η απαίτηση για πολύ περισσότερη μνήμη στα vista "έριξε" και την τιμή στις μνήμες ?! .

    Οι σοβαρότεροι λόγοι για να χάσει την πρωτοκαθεδρία είναι οι εξής :

Το οικονομικό κόστος κτήσης αλλά και αναβάθμισης στον ίδιο χρόνο αλλαγής των κονσολών, που είναι σαφώς πολύ ακριβότερο στα PC σε αναλογία που προσεγγίζει το 1 προς 3 και πάει έως το δυσθεώρητο 1 προς 10 η σύγκριση των high end PC με τις consoles. Όταν μια vga card κοστίζει διπλάσια τιμή από τις consoles , τότε κάποιος "καρκίνος" γεννήθηκε και εξαπλώνεται επικίνδυνα στην αγορά των PC.
Οι hackers στα δικτυακά παιχνίδια για PC που αποθαρρύνουν τους παίκτες να παίζουν διαδικτυακά τα παιχνίδια σε PC μιας και είναι σχεδόν αδύνατο να περιοριστούν αλλά και το γεγονός ότι είναι πρακτικά αδύνατο να βρεις hacker στις κονσόλες. Αφήνω μια μικρή πιθανότητα η ρομποτική να αλλάξει το τοπίο και στις κονσόλες . Στο μέλλον όμως !
Ο πονοκέφαλος που γλυτώνουν οι developers στις consoles μιας και τα προβλήματα είναι καθολικά και κοινά για όλους και δεν υπάρχουν τα προβλήματά που αντιμετωπίζουν οι developers για παιχνίδια σε PC που κάθε περίπτωση παιχνιδιού σε PC είναι και μοναδική.

   Θα διαμαρτυρηθεί κάποιος και λογικά μάλιστα ότι το θέμα μας δεν είναι οι consoles και τα PC αλλά οι πωλήσεις του Star Wars Battlefront II στο PS4. Λογική θα ήταν η διαμαρτυρία αν δεν υπήρχαν δυο παράμετροι - πληροφορίες που δείχνει ότι αφενός την τάση του κόσμου ( που ήδη στρέφεται στις consoles ) για να παίζει video games αλλά και ότι η συγκεκριμένη εταιρεία η ΕΑ πουλάει περισσότερα παιχνίδια για Consoles από ότι για PC.

      Αν νομίζατε ότι η EA πουλάει περισσότερο παιχνίδια για PC και λιγότερα σε PS4 , XBox κάνετε λάθος . Η συγκεκριμένη εταιρεία βγάζει πολύ περισσότερα από τις Consoles και η διαφορά είναι συντριπτική που αγγίζει την αναλογία 1/5 όπως μπορείτε να διαβάσετε στην αναφορά που δίνει η ίδια ως οφείλει. Όσοι βαριούνται να διαβάσουν την πλήρη αναφορά έφτιαξα μια φωτογραφία όπου φαίνεται αυτή η ποσόστωση και θα την βρείτε στο τέλος , στο * .

    Επίσης το PS4 συνεχίζει να ανεβάζει τον αριθμό στις πωλησεις του φτανοντας τα 63 εκατομυρια τον Ιούνιο και μετά το ps4 pro πλέον δεν έχει να ζηλέψει τίποτα σε δυνατότητες τα high end PC που κοστίζουν 3-4 ή φορές ή και περισσότερο. Ενδεικτικά μπορείτε να συγκρίνετε τις διαφορές σε αυτήν την φωτογραφία.

Η προηγούμενη φωτογραφία προήλθε από video του IGN στα 4k 60fps και καταρρίπτει κάθε αμφιβολία για το αν αξίζει να ξοδέψει κάποιος χιλιάδες ευρώ για high end pc ή 300+ -500 ευρώ για μια console PS4, PS4 Pro , Xbox One X και Xbox One S και φυσικά δεν τίθεται καν θέμα αν είναι τεράστια η διαφορά στις τιμές των παιχνιδιών ... ναι δεν είναι 60 ευρώ που είναι στα PC αλλά είναι 70 ευρώ , 2.5 καφέδες διαφορά που αν το ψάξει κάποιος που έχει ανάγκη βρίσκει και πρόσφορες σε μικρότερη τιμή όπως αυτή που έβγαλαν στα 49,99€ . Η εικόνα της προσφοράς στο τέλος** !

Επανέρχομαι στο θέμα μας που δεν είναι άλλο ότι παρά την διαβόητη Backlash εναντίον της EA αλλά και του Star Wars Battlefront II το οποίο φαίνεται να διαγράφει πολύ καλές πωλήσεις για τον μήνα Νοέμβριο , κάτι που που σίγουρα του αξίζει περισσότερο από ποτέ ως παιχνίδι με τα τόσο απίστευτα ωραία γραφικά σε συνδυασμό με την ελαφριά μηχανή . Έτσι χάρη στις προσπάθειες μας να απαλλαγεί από τα pay 2 win Microtransactions φαίνεται οτι θα επανέλθουν μόνο σαν cosmetics items αλλά και σε credits boost μέσα από παιχνίδι όμως και μόνο και ως "διευκόλυνση με το αζημίωτο" προς αυτούς που έχουν λεφτά και δεν έχουν χρόνο, όπως αφήνει να διερευνητικά να διαρρεύσει ο streamer της Dice υπό την μορφή ψηφοφορίας στο twitter !!!

Όπως είδατε άφησα το νέο για το τέλος και μην ακούσω για pay 2 win Microtransactions στο Star Wars Battlefront II ξανά , γιατί η απάντησή μου θα είναι ότι δεν συνομιλώ με τρολς της Blizzard , Ναι ναι της Activision Blizzard βεβαίως βεβαίως και αν αναρωτιέται κανείς γιατί το λέω , ο λόγος είναι απλός . είναι οι πρώτοι από τις ανταγωνίστριες εταιρείες που "έτρεξε" χαιρέκακα να ΤΡΟΛΑΡΕΙ την απερίγραπτα τεράστια γκάφα να βάλει η EA pay2win items σε παιχνίδι επί πληρωμή και όχι σε free 2 play game οπως έχουμε ήδη σιωπηρά αποδεχθεί οι gamers (μελλοντικό άρθρο) ως τρόπος αποπληρωμής της εργασίας των developers .

Θυμάστε ? αν ξεχάσατε ... υπάρχουν ακόμα οι αποδείξεις από τα Twitter και Facebook !!!

υ.γ. το άρθρο βασίστηκε σε αυτό το άρθρο !

Star Wars Battlefront II was the second most downloaded game on PS4

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sat, 09 Dec 2017 19:41:00 +0000

It seems the removal of lootboxes from Star Wars Battlefront II before release was a wise choice and it calmed down all the angry voices .

Usa Sony Interactive Entertainment reported the November's downloads for PS4 and the Star Wars Battlefront II was second as you can be informed from the official Usa Playstation blog

   I have a feeling , if the lootboxes's system in SWBII had never included the items with stats and gear (weapons and abilities) , the backlash against EA would never happened and the Star Wars Battlefront II would sell better than the first Battlefront at release day.

    Also, Star Wars Battlefront II will be on the TOP for the month of December in this PS4 list and for the next 6 months , because the game has solid foundations (extremely beautiful textures and light game engine) and the Star Wars ip has a huge fan-base !

    Watch what i mean in this beautiful video in FullHD and in 60 fps from my Favorite SWBII Video Playlist in Youtube

Let's hope EA's administration learned something from the backlash against SWBII and the new system will come restricted to cosmetics items and only !

Star Wars Battlefront II strikes Back

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sat, 18 Nov 2017 16:00:00 +0000

Τελευταία μέρα και λίγο πριν κυκλοφορήσει το Star Wars Battlefront II ο Γενικός Manager της Dice Oskar Gabrielson μας ξάφνιασε όσους σαμποτάραμε το παιχνίδι μιας και αρχικά είχε παρουσιαστεί στην open beta με lootboxes τα οποία μπορούσαν να αγοραστούν από τους παίκτες με πραγματικά λεφτά και χωρίς να περάσει από την διαδικασία της "εκπαίδευσης" του χαρακτήρα όπως έχουμε μάθει τουλάχιστον οι παλιότεροι να είναι μέρος του ανταγωνισμού του παιχνιδιού .

Οι παίκτες οπαδοί του Star Wars αλλά και οι μη στην πλειοψηφία τους φορέσαμε την μάσκα του πατροκτόνου Kylo Ren όπως στην φωτογραφία που ακολουθεί και σαμποτάραμε το παιχνίδι με κόστος φυσικά κάποια bans , κάποια shadowbans στο reddit και με αποκορύφωμα κάποια pre-order cancel ώστε να γίνει αντιληπτό ότι σε παιχνίδι με τιμή δεν χωράει η ιδέα του pay 2 win lootbox !

Η διαμαρτυρία μας είχε αποτέλεσμα και τελικά το παιχνίδι ξεκινάει ως καθαρό Play to Win και όχι ως pay 2 win όπως πολλοί θα ήθελαν στην wall street . Αυτοί οι τύποι νομίζουν ότι ξέρουν καλύτερα από τους παίκτες τι θέλουν οι παίκτες , μόνο που σφάλουν και δυστυχώς για αυτούς δεν ξέρουν τι είναι καλό και για την δικιά τους την τσέπη γιαυτό και σόρταραν στην μετοχή την πρώτη κιόλας μέρα όπως άλλωστε σόρταραν και στην μετοχή του Shadow of War αλλά δεν είναι αυτό το θέμα μας.

Έτσι μετά το θρυλικό tweet https://twitter.com/EAStarWars/status/931332890717143040 που έχει ήδη δεκάδες χιλιάδες like και retweets το παιχνίδι ξεκινάει όπως θα έπρεπε και όχι όπως θα ήθελαν οι εχθροί (εντάξει δεν είναι και εχθροί , άλλα παίκτες από άλλα παιχνίδια , αλλά ελέγχεται το ποιον τους ) που νομίζοντας ότι είχαν βρει τα εύκολα θύματα (στο reddit ένα ποστ της EA έπιασε το ρεκόρ στα downvotes) μας βοήθησαν στην Πίεση προς την ΕΑ.

Το τελικό αποτέλεσμα ήταν να ανακοινωθεί οτι τα lootboxes σταματάνε να πουλιούνται όπως βλέπετε στην επόμενη εικόνα και ότι όλο το σύστημα θα ξανασχεδιαστεί , προφανώς αφού δουν τι πορεία θα έχει η ρύθμισή τους μιας και δεν έχουν ρυθμιστεί ποτέ νομικά τα lootboxes στον δυτικό κόσμο σε αντίθεση με την ανατολή (Κίνα , Ιαπωνία και Κορέα )

πηγη : https://www.ea.com/games/starwars/battlefront/battlefront-2/news/pre-launch-update?utm_campaign=swbf2_hd_na_ic_soco_twt_swbfii-prelaunchblog-tw&utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&cid=42029&ts=1510918034417

Μπορεί η πλειοψηφία του κόσμου να είναι πλέον μουδιασμένη λόγω της αναπάντεχης εξέλιξης να αφαιρεθεί πλήρως η δυνατότητα για online purchace στα lootboxes αλλά είμαι σίγουρος οτι η ιστορία θα μας δικαιώσει να τα πολεμήσουμε από την πρώτη στιγμή και θα είναι για το καλό του Star Wars Battlefront 2 που κανονικά η σύντμηση του είναι SWBII ή SWB2, δεν είναι ούτε SWBFII αλλά και ούτε SWBF2 αφού είναι 3 λέξεις και ένας αριθμός !

" This is Star Wars Battlefront II " Trailer: Οι Ελληνικοί Υπότιτλοι

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sat, 30 Sep 2017 15:00:00 +0000

Μιας και έχει αποκλειστεί παγκοσμίως η αναδημοσίευση του εν λόγω πολύ εντυπωσιακού και επιτυχημένου στον σκοπό του να διαφημίσει το Star Wars Battlefront II βίντεο αναγκάζομαι να ανεβάσω σε αυτό το site τους υπότιτλους και να αλλάξω άρδην τον χαρακτήρα και τον σκοπό αυτού του site ,ο οποίος από τώρα και στο εξής θα δημοσιεύει αγγλικά και ελληνικά άρθρα κατά το δοκούν ανάλογα την περίσταση.


New Star Wars Special Forces in Action Aid mission for Greeks 😇

Μπορείτε να τους κατεβάσετε τοπικά στον Υπολογιστή σας και με ένα πρόγραμμα αναπαραγωγής βίντεο που έχει δυνατότητα προβολής από το διαδίκτυο όπως είναι το VLC ( http://www.videolan.org/ [ελεύθερο πρόγραμμα και ανοικτού κώδικα χωρίς υιούς και spyware] ) να το δείτε.

Αφού εγκαταστήσετε το vlc ανοίγετε το μενού του VLC > Media > Network Stream ( Πολυμέσα > Άνοιγμα Ροής Δεδομένων Δικτύου ) και επικολλάτε το ακόλουθο λινκ :

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SNGWh_-R1

Με το μενού Subtitle > Add Subtitle File (Υπότιτλος > Προσθήκη Αρχείου Υποτίτλων) μπορείτε να βάλετε τους υποτίτλους . κατεβάστε τους από τα ακόλουθα links ανάλογα με το λειτουργικό σας .

Υπότιτλοι για Windows - ansi fonts :

Υπότιτλοι για Mac - Linux - utf-8 fonts :

https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BybVb1iqd77Rek1vTmtLV3VmY1U

το τελικό αποτέλεσμα θα είναι κάπως έτσι ....

Λόγω της μεγάλης δημοφιλίας του εν λόγω βίντεο (3.5 εκατομμύρια θεάσεις σε 4 μέρες !) ενδέχεται να κολλήσει κάποια στιγμή το βίντεο . αν πατήστε την παύση για περίπου μισό λεπτό θα δώσετε τον απαραίτητο χρόνο ώστε το vlc να γεμίσει την cache του.

Φυσικά για τους αγγλομαθείς όλα αυτά είναι περιττά και μπορούν να απολαύσουν το καλύτερο trailer για το SWBII χωρίς αυτήν την διαδικασία.

υ.γ. το lol στο σχολιο για την iden versio ήταν για το special forces που βάζουν τώρα . special forces , leader γυναίκα στο παιχνίδι ... No more new-age coal please 😄

      Once you've accumulated enough, you can spend them while dead to acquire special perks, upgrades and other bonuses for both you and your team.
