@@missa2855 in bf2 in instant action, tested it both in conquest & ctf; yet, in my backwards compatible original Xbox version that I own, the enemy team has AI heroes and villains
You can configure controller settings to y invert in the actual Xbox settings menu, before loading into the actual game and it works! Coming from a fellow invert
Honestly my biggest issues I’ve experienced so far are the audio issues regarding volume issues where certain sounds are louder compared to others and the music is non existent. No computer beeps in the menus due to how loud the music is, the loading screen sound in Battlefront 1 needs fixing, and the biggest crime for me, is that Rise of the Empire somehow doesn’t have ALL of its cutscenes. After I finished Mygeeto, I didn’t get the second cutscene, which is BULLCRAP. Combine this with the online lags, and other minuscule things like if you choose the Hero settings in Battlefront 2 to always, and if you click no to save them for later, they disappear and don’t appear at all, like the game ignores your settings and puts them by default, they NEED to fix all of this ASAP.
Its an overpriced cash grab on the name. They used ai to badly upscale, slapped together the ui and netcode for as cheaply as possible, and pushed it out the door. Edit: it seems to be dead on arrival anyway, it was 2nd most purchased game on steam prior to launch, behind helldivers 2. Not long after launch it dropped to 23rd most purchased due to refunds and it has yet to enter the top 100 most played games on steam charts. Depressing.
Brother, checj out galactic contention mod for squad. Probably the greatest massive battle sw game you can play now. Huge cool maps, orbitall strikes with ships that come in and bombar, laats that can carry 10 troopers into battle, ground combat with fighters, ships, tanks, speeders. And on and on
What makes this hilarious is they made this game 20 years ago with no issues. Yet these devs can’t even handle hardware on these platforms for a 20 year old game..shows you how incompetent devs have become,they can’t even launch a game when all the work has already been done for them
Actually, Battlefront II 2005 did had some issues (nothing like these but they were noticable) at launch to the point that the Modding Community (for the PC version) and Microsoft (for the Xbox version) had to step in to fix them since Pandemic abandoned the game
@@brycecampbell9231 yeah. And let's not forget all the broken promises too Not to save Aspyr here since everyone that has always knew them for a long time (these guys were behind the Mac ports of so many games, including the (Classic Battlefront Games) and all of them had a lot of issues and problems, that tells you how bad Devs they are) knew that this would happen.
During the hours waiting to join a multiplayer lobby, the fanbase was discreetly transferred back to Steam support. It was a sad trip. We all knew what was about to happen; what we were about to do. Did we have any doubts, any private, traitorous thoughts? Perhaps. But no one was happy. Not on the game reviews. Not on social media. And not when we refunded the game. Not a one.
@@Clone895 😂🤣. That was awesome dude, wow. I had the idea to post my comment out of the blue lol. I hope we all meme the crap out of this sh*t game. Also it's sad for me cause I can't get a refund yet. PlayStation is sh*t with support & refunds. I've been on it multiple times & there were 500+ people ahead of me in the queue. Now I tried it again today & it said there were zero agents available. Not even a stupid queue this time. F*ck this, I'm pissed off. I played for over an hour so idk if they'll even let me refund it. Idk what to do so I'm panicking.
You almost have to intentionally want this re-release to fail to f*ck up this badly. It would have literally been easier to not touch anything and just reinstate the online servers. The game would’ve sold like hot cakes. Game studios lately seem to be in some sort of competition to see who can piss off gamers the most lol. It really isn’t that difficult to listen to gamers and give them what they want. Helldivers 2 proves this incredibly well.
I don't frickin understand why they chose to release a remaster unfinished? There's literally zero time pressure! Aspyr must be run by incompetent morons, because the formula is extremely simple: Launch a quality product that captures the nostalgia, and you'll make tons of money. However, release a shitty product that's objectively worse than the original, then expect to make just fraction of the money and have to deal with a mountain of refunds instead.
Thank you for covering this. I thought the 2 minute match problem was me misremembering how the game was supposed to be but thankfully not. Battlefront 2 is literally unplayable, my shots just do not hit at all. I’ve found Battlefront 1 to be ok somewhat. But obviously Battlefront 2 is the one everyone wants to play
I encountered a bug that I never saw before in the old batttlefront 2. Randomly when I U-turned the ship would get stuck, just floating in mid air going nowhere, once I pressed the fast turn button again, it got back to normal. This really is a cursed release.
Honestly, the “low effort” was written all over it. No graphical upgrades, few quality of life changes & just a ‘member berry cash grab. If any games deserved a REAL overhaul it was these. They could’ve made them look & play how we remember them instead of how they actually were. The fact that they’re bug ridden & broken too is just the cherry on top.
to be "fair" it was never advertised as a remaster, it was always just a port to modern hardware. but yeah even as a port it's still half-assed garbage
The fact that this is a literal money printer of a game, and they couldn't even get it right is so sad. I gotta love Disney and the care they put into the games they greenlight.
it really feels like these days, the devs and publishers release games in broken states and rely on the gaming community to game test for bugs so they can put out a patch
It seems with modern games it’s cheaper to let the public test the games instead of hiring testers and then they fix what the public complains about cause this problem is with a lot of games.
I have this on ps5 and I’m stuck with it because PlayStation has a refund policy that says you can’t play the game at all if you want to get a refund… I have experienced the audio bugs too and it is near impossible to have fun playing online bc of the problems outlined in this video. I’m also disappointed that the campaign is missing several cutscenes after the missions just like this video points out. I wish I could get my money back but this is a lesson learned. Hopefully the devs will at least do some fixes on the issues
@@bernardoayres1139 Well hopefully there will be very fast updates but honestly I don't see the game being in a good state even with multiple updates to it. It will be at least a month or two of updates for it to be somewhat stable I would imagine. SWBF2 has horrible aiming where it's extremely slow even with the maximum 10 sensitivity, audio glitches, visual glitches, menu issues, major extreme control issues which was my biggest issue maybe, lack of settings to improve things, terrible default controls, etc SWBF1 is in a better state but it's still really bad. It's weird how they screwed up SWBF2 which more people will play but the entire game is sh*t now.
Something nobody seems to be addressing that is worrying me is that Aspyr ported over the wrong version of Rhen Var Citadel into Battlefront 2. Rhen Var Citadel in BFII is supposed to have broken windows in the temple and a darker colour palette but they've used the Battlefront 1 version of the map instead. I've played the Xbox DLC, it's preloaded in the backwards compatible version of Battlefront II on Xbox. Aspyr got Rhen Var Harbour correct but not Citadel, unbelievable! Somebody needs to bring this to Aspyr's attention.
I bought the game on steam and refunded it just before the 2 hour mark. Problems were - no party support - no voice chat - terrible servers and hard to play the game mode you want -couldn’t stay in the same lobby after match ends since it crashes -super short matches
On PS5 I couldn’t seem to roll as a droidika? I swear i pressed every button. I thought it was supposed to be crouch…. Anyone know if it’s a bug or I’m missing something?
This is why no one should pre-order games, even with a discount offered. This situation is way too common of an occurrence to justify it. I personally was burned too many times in the past.
Aspyr has made an announcement about all the issues revolving around online, servers, bugs etc. They are working to fix it. Can at least give them the credit they are trying. Understandable people are upset but at least they aren't doing A Day Before on us and abandoning ship.
@@User83177better than game mill. walking dead destinies is horrible little to no cut scene animations and the ending is pointless , and Hershel (if you know who that is ) walks normal with a missing leg when he's supposed to have crutches I payed 50$ and after 4 months there has been nothing no update or patch
@LHN560 they should get credit for sticking with it. Just as you man I'm super irritated about the problems with this game. It was my favorite 2 games when I was a kid. To see it suffer this bad at launch is tough. But all the problems we have are fixable and they are going to fix it. I agree it should have been that way from the start. But that's games nowadays. The credit they deserve is for not jumping ship and leaving us with what we have. Most studios their size would just quit. I ain't some fanboy either this the only game I've played by apsyr. Just was pointing out in the last hour they have made announcements to fix issues reported by the community
@BrianOmegaWolf exactly what I mean by giving aspyr credit. They are promising to stick with it and have made statements on the game already. Walking dead destinies is a tragedy. Such a good idea but ruined by a really flawed studio. They did that Kong skull island game too that was terrible. Really living up to the name game mill churning out garbage after garbage
God I just want a game that has large scale conquests with bots and air to space battles and a galactic conquest that is not plagued or bogged down by the god damn star wars IP. Why has nobody done it. Even DICE couldn't do it. Angels fall first has come close but its not finished, been abandoned and not got the land battles.
I tried to load my profile in the first Battlefront at the start of the game and it keeps saying "Loading fail" Also, I was playing Campaign Mode in Battlefront ll and it literally doesn't play the cutscene's after you complete the missions and I got kicked out of the game with an Error.
In addition to all of the issues you noted here, I've noticed on PS5 that online stat tracking is completely broken. No kills or deaths are recorded to your profile and, worse yet, no medals are recorded. That means no trophy/achievement progress is possible online. Not that you really have enough time to really get any medals anyway since the matches on the official servers last three minutes each.
I don’t have most of the problems on my PS5. The few bugs i found were the game crashing when searching for hero assault and canceling the search, red textures on Hoth and the game going completely silent sometimes.
What makes me the most sad is the backlash for this launch might just say to Disney "well I guess they hate Battlefront, no need to do another one" and I'm VERY scared of that reality
Why are you blaming Disney, it's Aspyr lmao. Disney is a big crappy corporation but they aren't some demon that just ruins everything when you want them to
Theyre still there, from what i can tell you have to get the award 4 times before you actually get the award weapons. After that you get them every time. Dont know why
Lmao, as soon as this downloaded and I hopped online it played for a good couple of minutes and crashed after lagging, another problem I had with this game is the lobbies would be joinable and it will say that you cannot join it's full, also after the match ends it'll take almost a year to go to the next game💀
I’m driving while listening and I literally had to pull over and stop for a second when I heard half of the cutscenes were not there for the campaign… I played the hell out of these games when I was a kid and I have extremely fond memories… so when I heard that…. I’m deeply hurt…
PSA from console players: you can't invert aiming there either. So for us old Xbox players who played with inverted Y-axis, you can't do that with a controller. They managed to get flight AND infantry aiming wrong, which was in the original game, meaning they had to program it OUT of the game. In 2024, missing options this basic is unacceptable.
It sucks seeing others having issues with the game and stuff, not being able to play the game properly. Especially when me and my friends aren't experiencing any problems. Hopefully it'll get fixed soon though!
Couple of things I've experienced: First time playing on Both BF1 and BF2 in Multiplayer, the game crashed. On reboot it worked but still hard to connect to an online match. Another thing I noticed was the campaign (BF2)... Single player will take you straight to the action. Playing the campaign in Split screen gives you the classic Star wars intro with the crawl and theme. then the story begins. I really hope they can bring the full story back. lots of audio bugs too and some random spikes/pops at any given time in game.
This is why I never preorder games as a rule. I thought about getting it but I remembered we're in the modern gaming era so I lowered my expectations and they were met unfortunately.
I havent even played online but have noticed wierd audio bugs in offline like explosions sounding like blown speakers and they mixed gameplay and 501st cutscenes at completely different decibel levels
Hey man, been watching you since 2015 battlefront. I appreciate that you try to remain balanced and fair. Keep up the good work brother and hopefully one day us Star Wars fans will get a decent battlefront game launch 😂❤
I’ve always liked you and your channel, and I’ve had the same thought before… like dang Battlefront theoretically seems like it should be such a safe franchise to base a channel around Playing the odds right? There has to be a good one eventually right??? …Right?????
Also what I noticed is that the game is overall set to my native language (German), for example the UI and the "Cutscenes", but as soon as I hope into a level the audio changes to English. Is anyone else experiencing this issue with different languages (besides German)?
I'll give Aspyr credit. They waited till Pi Day like a clown just to splat everyone in the face with this one. Except it wasn't funny. But I noticed that the enemy AI also doesn't choose to be their respective hero in Instant Action, whereas the older versions that were 10 bucks had the AI put up an effort.
Abaolutely rediculous. Just like every other facet in the world today... Money hungry grubs have taken our money for a less than complete version of a product. This world is so shit right now, consumer wise. Cheap and shoddy products for standard prices.
I was concidering buying this before launch because I thought how could a 20 year old game be so broken. Im glad I kept my stance on not bying any games on launch

Because you keep paying for garbage. Stop giving this franchise money until it makes something good instead of giving them money in the hopes they'll make something good one day. Be an intelligent consumer.
Stop indulging.
They don’t appreciate us
@KamikazeCommie501 only issue with that is they would see they are getting no money and release nothing

i thought i was going crazy with every match ending in 2 minutes, thought i was just getting unlucky joining matches
I felt the same way last night trying to play my cousin… very frustrating!
You pronounce Aspyr as "Ass-Pyre" which is right on!😂🤣
Is that not how you say it?
more like uhspire i think is how a lot of people say it, as in "you aspire to be something"@@snowcrow8784
@@snowcrow8784 "As-Purr" is how you say it
@@snowcrow8784
I don't think so but it doesn't matter too much. I'm an American & I would pronounce it "As-pire" like the normal word without the letter "y" in it but idk. It's just a funny thing lol
I've seen on reddit that someone claimed that Disney had half the cut scenes removed as they aren't considered as cannon anymore. Makes no sense to me.
Disney and canon events ...ha ha ...HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Makes sense to me
I think you misunderstood. They removed all of the ending cutscenes for each mission in the 501st Journal.
"Someone on reddit" thats always followed by a credible source.
That's the epitome of "Source: Dude trust me"
Offline the enemy hero never spawns in conquest.
I noticed that too! I have the Xbox version
Battlefront 1 or 2?
cause in Battlefront 2 the AI didn't spawn heroes, a mod must be installed for that.
@@missa2855 Battlefront 2 and yes I've played countless times and it always spawns half way through the match if you have it set on.
That has been an issue since the original release. An issue they should have fixed, mind you, but not a new issue.
@@missa2855 in bf2 in instant action, tested it both in conquest & ctf; yet, in my backwards compatible original Xbox version that I own, the enemy team has AI heroes and villains
The fact I can’t invert my Y axis in 2024 is idiotic.
You can configure controller settings to y invert in the actual Xbox settings menu, before loading into the actual game and it works! Coming from a fellow invert
Cant fly without it.
Gamers: "wtf is this bs!"
Aspyr:" Good..I can feel your anger!"
Honestly my biggest issues I’ve experienced so far are the audio issues regarding volume issues where certain sounds are louder compared to others and the music is non existent. No computer beeps in the menus due to how loud the music is, the loading screen sound in Battlefront 1 needs fixing, and the biggest crime for me, is that Rise of the Empire somehow doesn’t have ALL of its cutscenes. After I finished Mygeeto, I didn’t get the second cutscene, which is BULLCRAP. Combine this with the online lags, and other minuscule things like if you choose the Hero settings in Battlefront 2 to always, and if you click no to save them for later, they disappear and don’t appear at all, like the game ignores your settings and puts them by default, they NEED to fix all of this ASAP.
They wont fix shit, this bastard low effort company already ran with our money
Its an overpriced cash grab on the name.
They used ai to badly upscale, slapped together the ui and netcode for as cheaply as possible, and pushed it out the door.
Edit: it seems to be dead on arrival anyway, it was 2nd most purchased game on steam prior to launch, behind helldivers 2. Not long after launch it dropped to 23rd most purchased due to refunds and it has yet to enter the top 100 most played games on steam charts.
Depressing.
Another huge disappointment. These days devs mostly can't deliver a quality product.
Congrats on 200K, but yeah I'm really upset about this game, it feels like the Battlefront franchise is cursed in some way
Brother, checj out galactic contention mod for squad. Probably the greatest massive battle sw game you can play now. Huge cool maps, orbitall strikes with ships that come in and bombar, laats that can carry 10 troopers into battle, ground combat with fighters, ships, tanks, speeders. And on and on
What makes this hilarious is they made this game 20 years ago with no issues. Yet these devs can’t even handle hardware on these platforms for a 20 year old game..shows you how incompetent devs have become,they can’t even launch a game when all the work has already been done for them
Actually, Battlefront II 2005 did had some issues (nothing like these but they were noticable) at launch to the point that the Modding Community (for the PC version) and Microsoft (for the Xbox version) had to step in to fix them since Pandemic abandoned the game
DEI has consequences.
Dude Battlefront 2 especially was made in less than a year and had a rather large list of issues.
@@brycecampbell9231 yeah. And let's not forget all the broken promises too
Not to save Aspyr here since everyone that has always knew them for a long time (these guys were behind the Mac ports of so many games, including the (Classic Battlefront Games) and all of them had a lot of issues and problems, that tells you how bad Devs they are) knew that this would happen.
"What I remember about the SWBF Classic Collection was how broken & unplayable it is. Nothing at all like the simulations on the original games..."🤡🌎
During the hours waiting to join a multiplayer lobby, the fanbase was discreetly transferred back to Steam support. It was a sad trip. We all knew what was about to happen; what we were about to do. Did we have any doubts, any private, traitorous thoughts? Perhaps. But no one was happy. Not on the game reviews. Not on social media. And not when we refunded the game. Not a one.
@@Clone895
😂🤣. That was awesome dude, wow. I had the idea to post my comment out of the blue lol. I hope we all meme the crap out of this sh*t game.
Also it's sad for me cause I can't get a refund yet. PlayStation is sh*t with support & refunds. I've been on it multiple times & there were 500+ people ahead of me in the queue. Now I tried it again today & it said there were zero agents available. Not even a stupid queue this time.
F*ck this, I'm pissed off. I played for over an hour so idk if they'll even let me refund it. Idk what to do so I'm panicking.
its a really damn shame that time and time again, battlefront fans are still getting the short end of the stick...
You almost have to intentionally want this re-release to fail to f*ck up this badly. It would have literally been easier to not touch anything and just reinstate the online servers. The game would’ve sold like hot cakes.
Game studios lately seem to be in some sort of competition to see who can piss off gamers the most lol. It really isn’t that difficult to listen to gamers and give them what they want. Helldivers 2 proves this incredibly well.
The multiplayer has a 100 kill to win. Which is WAY too low
I don't frickin understand why they chose to release a remaster unfinished? There's literally zero time pressure!
Aspyr must be run by incompetent morons, because the formula is extremely simple:
Launch a quality product that captures the nostalgia, and you'll make tons of money. However, release a shitty product that's objectively worse than the original, then expect to make just fraction of the money and have to deal with a mountain of refunds instead.
Thank you for covering this. I thought the 2 minute match problem was me misremembering how the game was supposed to be but thankfully not. Battlefront 2 is literally unplayable, my shots just do not hit at all. I’ve found Battlefront 1 to be ok somewhat. But obviously Battlefront 2 is the one everyone wants to play
The channel name is "Battlefront Updates", I don't think you need to thank them for posting Battlefront Updates.
I encountered a bug that I never saw before in the old batttlefront 2. Randomly when I U-turned the ship would get stuck, just floating in mid air going nowhere, once I pressed the fast turn button again, it got back to normal. This really is a cursed release.
Honestly, the “low effort” was written all over it. No graphical upgrades, few quality of life changes & just a ‘member berry cash grab. If any games deserved a REAL overhaul it was these. They could’ve made them look & play how we remember them instead of how they actually were. The fact that they’re bug ridden & broken too is just the cherry on top.
Remaster is more like rerelease with widescreen patch applied.
to be "fair" it was never advertised as a remaster, it was always just a port to modern hardware. but yeah even as a port it's still half-assed garbage
The bombers lose ability to use bombs out of no where.
The fact that this is a literal money printer of a game, and they couldn't even get it right is so sad. I gotta love Disney and the care they put into the games they greenlight.
it really feels like these days, the devs and publishers release games in broken states and rely on the gaming community to game test for bugs so they can put out a patch
we are essentially QA testers that dont get paid and have to fork out money for the "privledge" of playing
It seems with modern games it’s cheaper to let the public test the games instead of hiring testers and then they fix what the public complains about cause this problem is with a lot of games.
We are essentially unpaid QA testers
I have this on ps5 and I’m stuck with it because PlayStation has a refund policy that says you can’t play the game at all if you want to get a refund… I have experienced the audio bugs too and it is near impossible to have fun playing online bc of the problems outlined in this video. I’m also disappointed that the campaign is missing several cutscenes after the missions just like this video points out. I wish I could get my money back but this is a lesson learned. Hopefully the devs will at least do some fixes on the issues
Multiplayer is definitely not the only issues this game has. Single player/offline is an absolute broken unplayable mess as well.
@@bernardoayres1139
Well hopefully there will be very fast updates but honestly I don't see the game being in a good state even with multiple updates to it. It will be at least a month or two of updates for it to be somewhat stable I would imagine.
SWBF2 has horrible aiming where it's extremely slow even with the maximum 10 sensitivity, audio glitches, visual glitches, menu issues, major extreme control issues which was my biggest issue maybe, lack of settings to improve things, terrible default controls, etc
SWBF1 is in a better state but it's still really bad. It's weird how they screwed up SWBF2 which more people will play but the entire game is sh*t now.
I also would like to know. I have it, and I may not have played long enough, I haven't found any...
Do you just sit on TH-cam videos and post ragebait? This is your third comment on this video. Move on dude.
It's such a sad loss for the battlefront community really
Me just vibin in Rise of the Empire and Instant Action for the last 12 hours 😎
I did that too but the patch corrupted my profile and I had to start again 😢
Something nobody seems to be addressing that is worrying me is that Aspyr ported over the wrong version of Rhen Var Citadel into Battlefront 2. Rhen Var Citadel in BFII is supposed to have broken windows in the temple and a darker colour palette but they've used the Battlefront 1 version of the map instead. I've played the Xbox DLC, it's preloaded in the backwards compatible version of Battlefront II on Xbox. Aspyr got Rhen Var Harbour correct but not Citadel, unbelievable! Somebody needs to bring this to Aspyr's attention.
Confirmed: ASPYR is Sith
I bought the game on steam and refunded it just before the 2 hour mark. Problems were
- no party support
- no voice chat
- terrible servers and hard to play the game mode you want
-couldn’t stay in the same lobby after match ends since it crashes
-super short matches
So you’re telling me I paid $30 to not even be able to play galactic conquest with my friends and have 150 ping in every game? Crazy
On PS5 I couldn’t seem to roll as a droidika? I swear i pressed every button. I thought it was supposed to be crouch…. Anyone know if it’s a bug or I’m missing something?
Still cant belive they stopped Developing the 2017 BF2, again wasted potential EA really sucks ass
They literally had to do nothing
This is why no one should pre-order games, even with a discount offered. This situation is way too common of an occurrence to justify it. I personally was burned too many times in the past.
Aspyr has made an announcement about all the issues revolving around online, servers, bugs etc. They are working to fix it. Can at least give them the credit they are trying. Understandable people are upset but at least they aren't doing A Day Before on us and abandoning ship.
give them credit for trying to fix a 20yr old game ??
@@User83177better than game mill. walking dead destinies is horrible little to no cut scene animations and the ending is pointless , and Hershel (if you know who that is ) walks normal with a missing leg when he's supposed to have crutches I payed 50$ and after 4 months there has been nothing no update or patch
@LHN560 they should get credit for sticking with it. Just as you man I'm super irritated about the problems with this game. It was my favorite 2 games when I was a kid. To see it suffer this bad at launch is tough. But all the problems we have are fixable and they are going to fix it. I agree it should have been that way from the start. But that's games nowadays. The credit they deserve is for not jumping ship and leaving us with what we have. Most studios their size would just quit. I ain't some fanboy either this the only game I've played by apsyr. Just was pointing out in the last hour they have made announcements to fix issues reported by the community
@@dynamight98 so it's confirmed they will work on it?
@BrianOmegaWolf exactly what I mean by giving aspyr credit. They are promising to stick with it and have made statements on the game already. Walking dead destinies is a tragedy. Such a good idea but ruined by a really flawed studio. They did that Kong skull island game too that was terrible. Really living up to the name game mill churning out garbage after garbage
God I just want a game that has large scale conquests with bots and air to space battles and a galactic conquest that is not plagued or bogged down by the god damn star wars IP.
Why has nobody done it. Even DICE couldn't do it.
Angels fall first has come close but its not finished, been abandoned and not got the land battles.
I play on PS5 and I still have not been able to play online , I get error message or join a game but can’t play
I tried to load my profile in the first Battlefront at the start of the game and it keeps saying "Loading fail"
Also, I was playing Campaign Mode in Battlefront ll and it literally doesn't play the cutscene's after you complete the missions and I got kicked out of the game with an Error.
You gotta Join a server smh,
In addition to all of the issues you noted here, I've noticed on PS5 that online stat tracking is completely broken. No kills or deaths are recorded to your profile and, worse yet, no medals are recorded. That means no trophy/achievement progress is possible online. Not that you really have enough time to really get any medals anyway since the matches on the official servers last three minutes each.
I don’t have most of the problems on my PS5. The few bugs i found were the game crashing when searching for hero assault and canceling the search, red textures on Hoth and the game going completely silent sometimes.
What makes me the most sad is the backlash for this launch might just say to Disney "well I guess they hate Battlefront, no need to do another one" and I'm VERY scared of that reality
All of us Star Wars fans have snatched defeat from the jaws of victory yet again!🤡🌎
PSN denied my refund for the digital edition. Absolutely BS
We shouldn't have to demand them to "fix" these issues on a launch that was probably anticipated, since it's the 20th anniversary.
It's like the golden touch but whenever Disney touches something it turns to shit
this hardly has anything to do with disney lmao, this is just par for the course for Aspyr
@@udontknowme00there’s a reason I’ve never heard of Aspyr lol
Why are you blaming Disney, it's Aspyr lmao. Disney is a big crappy corporation but they aren't some demon that just ruins everything when you want them to
@@udontknowme00 Uh except Disney literally owns the Star Wars IP and decides who does these kinds of things with the IP
@@DrSomers it's really really funny that you think disney is that hands-on
Yo! Did they take away the reward weapons?? Wtf
Theyre still there, from what i can tell you have to get the award 4 times before you actually get the award weapons. After that you get them every time. Dont know why

I’m so disappointed with the terrible release. I’m one of the strange ones that uses inverted Y axis and cannot play the game without it.
Lag .... wait ...... lag ..... wait ..... lag ..... wait .... defeat!!!
Lmao, as soon as this downloaded and I hopped online it played for a good couple of minutes and crashed after lagging, another problem I had with this game is the lobbies would be joinable and it will say that you cannot join it's full, also after the match ends it'll take almost a year to go to the next game💀
They had one job. ONE! What the actual hell Aspyre...
I’m driving while listening and I literally had to pull over and stop for a second when I heard half of the cutscenes were not there for the campaign… I played the hell out of these games when I was a kid and I have extremely fond memories… so when I heard that…. I’m deeply hurt…
The day we get a good Battlefront launch will probably be on the same day Respawn’s Star Wars FPS releases.
gutted how bad it actually is.. getting refund
PSA from console players: you can't invert aiming there either. So for us old Xbox players who played with inverted Y-axis, you can't do that with a controller. They managed to get flight AND infantry aiming wrong, which was in the original game, meaning they had to program it OUT of the game. In 2024, missing options this basic is unacceptable.
It sucks seeing others having issues with the game and stuff, not being able to play the game properly. Especially when me and my friends aren't experiencing any problems. Hopefully it'll get fixed soon though!
I don't think it's possible to be too negative about this right now haha.
Trusted my gut and saved my cash. Glad I did
The force is strong with you
It feels like doing the bare minimum would have been better. It's like Aspyr actively tried to make the game worse
Couple of things I've experienced: First time playing on Both BF1 and BF2 in Multiplayer, the game crashed. On reboot it worked but still hard to connect to an online match. Another thing I noticed was the campaign (BF2)... Single player will take you straight to the action. Playing the campaign in Split screen gives you the classic Star wars intro with the crawl and theme. then the story begins. I really hope they can bring the full story back. lots of audio bugs too and some random spikes/pops at any given time in game.
Anyone else have control issues? Both keyboard and controller are bugged for me, like crouch not working, and starting to the left not working
Rebel: "Bro, Vader, i just depleted your health bar! Why won't you die?!"
Vader: "Feel the power of the Force (LAG)"
This is why I never preorder games as a rule. I thought about getting it but I remembered we're in the modern gaming era so I lowered my expectations and they were met unfortunately.
I havent even played online but have noticed wierd audio bugs in offline like explosions sounding like blown speakers and they mixed gameplay and 501st cutscenes at completely different decibel levels
No invert controls option leaves it unplayable for me & tons of others. What a simple thing to over look & leave out.😔😔
Hey man, been watching you since 2015 battlefront.
I appreciate that you try to remain balanced and fair. Keep up the good work brother and hopefully one day us Star Wars fans will get a decent battlefront game launch 😂❤
The missing cutscenes are insulting. Shows they didn't have passionate people working on this remaster
One of the reasons a match takes 3 minutes is because they increased the player count from 32 to 64 but the tickets are stuck at 100.
I’ve always liked you and your channel, and I’ve had the same thought before… like dang Battlefront theoretically seems like it should be such a safe franchise to base a channel around
Playing the odds right? There has to be a good one eventually right???
…Right?????
It keeps happening because people throw their money in regardless.
I threw my money because I thought it would've been so easy to port a finished 20year old game onto ps4. I was wrong.
Also what I noticed is that the game is overall set to my native language (German), for example the UI and the "Cutscenes", but as soon as I hope into a level the audio changes to English.
Is anyone else experiencing this issue with different languages (besides German)?
Its called Classic Collection when Renegade and Elite Squadron are missing.
Ohh wait it is the portable collection for 60$ next year.
A better question is: how do you people keep falling for this?
cause people never learn how many shitty release will it take for people to realize they need to stop pre ordering.
Unplayable for me no invert look !
I'll give Aspyr credit. They waited till Pi Day like a clown just to splat everyone in the face with this one. Except it wasn't funny.
But I noticed that the enemy AI also doesn't choose to be their respective hero in Instant Action, whereas the older versions that were 10 bucks had the AI put up an effort.
Can’t even find a game on battle front 2
Abaolutely rediculous. Just like every other facet in the world today...
Money hungry grubs have taken our money for a less than complete version of a product. This world is so shit right now, consumer wise. Cheap and shoddy products for standard prices.
I was concidering buying this before launch because I thought how could a 20 year old game be so broken. Im glad I kept my stance on not bying any games on launch
