All the comments here saying that AI upscaling is just nitpicking, did everyone collectively decide to forget about the absolute disaster that was the GTA Definitive Edition? AI upscaling is fine, if it's used right. But overuse of upscaling is a big neon sign pointing to a dev team that's too small, too time constrained or too amateurish for the remastering that they're undertaking. Just like the GTA Definitive Edition. Edit: Who could have seen this coming.
The ship glass ball turret thingy was honestly worse, but everything else in my opinion was unnecessary nitpicks. I love that my favourite childhood games are returning and I am absolutely in love with the idea of this being 4K Native Res with 60fps and 4K raw upscaled textures, super cool. Some things look a little cartoony because of the upscale but honestly the game already did look very cartoony in my opinion. Most of what I have seen I really loved!
@@A7ZATRU love your channel by the way, have been subscribing on your channel for years now, ever since 2015. So that this game re-releases now I have accidentally come across your channel again.

From what I can observe the Classic Collection appears to be upscaling the console versions textures, which are lower in quality than the original PC version. I noticed on the Rebel's fighter in the Hoth hangar how different the grill and red paint looks in both the original PC version and the Xbox version. Compare that to the Classic Collection you can tell they are using the Xbox's textures. Probably explains the upscale artifacts, it's trying to upscale from such a small, SMALL resolution. Now personally I am hoping they fix this or at the very least provide a graphic setting to use the original textures.
@@A7ZATRUWorse in terms of visuals? Maybe. It's possible it either gets fixed by the devs or the modding community. Surely the gameplay will be amazing which is what counts at the end of the day.
It's just disappointing to pay again for something worse in some cases, mods obviously aren't on console either so limits the audience. Could be worse though
@@A7ZATRUIt definitely could be worse. The fact that we are essentially nitpicking a bit imo is a good sign. The only complaints so far we have as Battlefront fans boils down to: 1. Where is Crossplay 2. The graphics appear a bit odd Two things that can easily be fixed pre or post launch and they aren't too serious. That gives me hope.
nah this youtuber took the Switch trailer and thought it was on all consoles and PC, I guarantee its gonna look great in 4k. I think people are forgetting where and when this was announced
Why is everyone being so willfully ignorant? His entire point was that they very clearly did tamper with the game, not that they didn't and it looks outdated like many people here are claiming.

people do not remember how bad aspyr is. Really look up any of their releases and you will find contreversy after contreversy. Its a really shitty garbage developer that botches everything they make
Its gameplay for me that counts, the graphics dont really bother me, it would be awsome if both games were getting remasters with dice graphics but any new star wars multiplayer game in 2024 will be awsome
In the end, we can just mod them back lol also it seems they upscaled the console version textures rather than upscale the PC textures which causes that purple hue sometimes.
5:39 In the trailer you can also see from the green command post that this is Hoth on Battlefront 1 in the trailer. The PC version you are using for the comparison is Battlefront 2. That makes a difference.
Tbh i don't think this texture stuff is a problem. Just little details. And on my opinion they improved them. As you said, personal opinions. I think it's fine.
These minor details won't matter because I plan on running around and playing the game. I won't be examining still images. As long as the framerate is smooth, I will be happy.
The hive-mind is strong, I’m kinda skeptical of the game and the mediocre history of the company. I don’t think they’ll deliver, what you showed are actual bugs. I wouldn’t be surprised if we get burned, I don’t think this is something that’s excusable. Even at this price tag, to just AI upscale everything and to not even use the best textures or edit them. That’s brutal, this game is lacking quality control and this should be a cause of concern. For PC players there is almost no value, they are capitalizing on people’s nostalgia it’s gross. Regardless, I’ve already got a pre-order in with the safety of steam refunds I’ll see if it’s better or worse on launch.
I think they ought to just bring HarrisonFog in on it if he's willing and just use his remastered maps/sides, with optional default sides. It would make the game look so much better and garner a lot of support from the playerbase who are itching for graphical improvements.
it's called XL mode! That was confirmed in the press release and via PlayStation. Doesnt say the bot count but XL mode on PC back in the originals was 108? Bots I think :)
I normally agree with your videos but this isn't a big deal. I am more than happy to have battlefront back on all platforms with multiplayer. The graphics look fine to me and im normally a stickler for it. I personally think this is nit picky. Some of the stuff actually looks better, some looks worse (like the snowspeeder) This is all stuff that wont make any difference while you are playing. If this was a full blown remake then I would 100% agree with you.
Well i dont think peoples gonna worried about how they look since everyones busy trying to dodge those wrist rockets and its an old game im just happy we are getting a battelfront game in 2024
The only thing I care about is mod support. Pretty much all mods are already superior to the original or whatever Aspyr is making whether it's gameplay, content, and even graphic-wise. If we don't get a mod-compatible server browser, there's no point in the new release. If you look at the Battlefront community on PC (the people who have been playing the game all these years), it is very split on the new release, because we already have a remaster, rebalance, reboot, DLC. If mods are not taken into account, this will be a very short-lived release.
oh man when I’m playing 64 player online I’m going to be super mad about that tiny vent that I’ll have to stop playing zoom in on to even notice…yep ruins everything I can’t do this anymore I’m going to demand my refund for my preorder this instant!!
Good video not sure why people feel the need to dismiss or say you are hating in this video, it’s just pure facts but I guess people are blinded by nostalgia
I kinda wish graphically if they were gonna cheap out by upscaling on textures they went a bit further on the lighting like with the recent quake 2 remaster. A lot of ports of older games like this screw up a lot of the post processing and special effect shaders that make these old games less flat so going further with the lighting engine would go a long way
Its a cashgrab to milk money off of console peasants. Just mod in all the maps into Battlefront II and get all the best maps mods like all the ones with both space and ground combat. Only way I would ever get tempted to get the collection is if Galactic Conquest gets online multiplayer which we all know will never happen.
I'm hoping Aspyr develops *"Retro DLC"* for this game. Add in Ahsoka, and maybe new characters that use weapons similar to those of the Praetorian Guards. Add in the new version of Assajj Ventress coming out soon as well with _The Bad Batch_ new series. _Ahsoka's_ vision of Anakin with a red sabre would be cool as well. Other ideas to be welcomed. - New Heroes and villains with new gameplay mechanics would be welcome.
@@A7ZATRU I have to say yes you are right some moders do a lot better than any developer do but I don’t get that like how does one person or two person campaign can make a game way better than millions of the developers I don’t get that I have the remastered modded in my computer. It looks amazing HD graphics very nice HD colours so beautiful but then again you get this game it’s not it’s not even close to that I don’t get that.
I've played the original battlefronts as a kid when they came out and loved em and in the classic collection trailer they both look better then ever as a HD re release with full multiplayer support I'm not bothered if the graphics are a bit different to the original I get the nick picks of certain shots of the classic collection but at the end of the day classic battlefront is back with full multiplayer support for everyone to enjoy what more could we even ask for ? Just my opinion lol 😊
@@moderndemon84 look at 31 seconds into the trailer and in the screenshots for the game on steam they both show ventress using Aayla’s animations which implies that they just incorporated the pc mod instead of actually including the real dlc
this has been debunked as a thing you will only see in the specific trailer because they used some guys mod for the trailer, which will not be the case for the actual game. There are allegedly already trailers out, said so by the modder himself on reddit, where she uses the proper Nunchucks. BTW... as someone who only knows her from Clone Wars and never played this game... god what a stupid idea!!! Lightsaber Nunchucks? Are you serious? You so gonna cut your own limbs and head off, very glad this was just a silly videogame idea and they didn't adopt this for the show. Inquisitor Helicopter Lightsabers are already stupid enough...
I feel like everyone is missing the point: the gripe isn't about the 'graphics not being good enough' - it's whether the up-scaled graphics justify the MAMMOTH 50+ gigs of storage just to play the games (which it really doesn't). It is really pretty obscene that these 3-4 gig games have quintupled in size in this port. I think that this video actually VALIDATES what everyone in the comments is are saying: that we don't really care about the game being graphically up-scaled as much as we just care about being able to play them again with the option to play online.
Dude....why judge about graphics..... We finally get to experience the GAMEPLAY that the EA Battlefront games robbed us of due to their greed. We are in a gaming market where you can have a fancy looking product, but the gameplay or story is downright horrendous. Just appreciate the fact that we are getting that experience from our childhood as adults again.
I'm not judging the entire thing. I've said multiple times I like various things about it. Just because it's our childhood game doesn't give it a pass. It should look better than it did 20 years ago, it looks worse on some cases. The PC version has been playable just fine for 20 years, we've been able to play it for that long. It's not a long lost game
@A7ZATRU pause. .what was the comparison with? PC? PS2? Xbox? Was this on GameCube? I don't remember. Also I do see your point. Maybe some upscaling should've been done.
Surprised so many people just dismiss this. Yeah, I admit, the title is over the top (and a bit clickbaity...), but I do agree that this is lazy as fuck and that I hope they don't just release it with so many dumb AI mistakes. Because if the whole game is just AI upscaled, you will notice it in some areas. They obviously want the trailer to look good, but they won't show the worse looking areas.
if I didnt do that, people would not know this is an issue. I raise concern so we aren't surprised at launch but it is just dismissed. I guess we'll see how people react when it comes out and if it has bad areas
@@A7ZATRU Fair enough mate, I get what you're saying, I do agree (and want to add that I do think your video as a whole is cool). I find it a bit stupid that people dismiss the whole video so easily, when some of the new textures are quite bad once you notice them. Also, off topic, but I appreciate you responding to everyone.
I would have wanted a remake with fully rebuilt graphics but we didn't get that. This is the next best thing though to at least get the graphics upscaled to 4k and redo the lighting. Some minor errors but I think overall it will look better. Informative video though thanks for making it.
@@A7ZATRU grow up 😂 it’s really not a big deal if you want the “preserved” version play the original no one is playing this for graphics it’s a simple nostalgia trip for a lot of us
This is a collection. I played this when I was like 7. I am now 24 and I am looking forward to playing these games in their outdated graphics and all their glory! 😩
Well, I just pre-ordered the classic collection today, so, I MAINLY bought this because I’ve never played the original Star Wars Battlefront (2004) game. But, Star Wars Battlefront II (2005) I remember FONDLY, THAT game and LEGO Star Wars: The VideoGame is what got me into Star Wars as a whole.
I don’t know really - not to sound rude or anything but these are just speculation and I know it may just be my preference but I really don’t mind about the graphics as I will be playing this game as a celebration of these two amazing games. It may just be images taken at an angle or distance which just might not seem the same from the same angle - bearing in mind that this is not really a remaster but a rerelease. I do think that various aspects of the graphics were nitpicking at things that I’m not going to take notice of.
I understand your worries, but honestly In the heat of battle (especially with the XL battle mode) those will be hard to even notice. If you stand still for a little bit, some of it can be eye catching, but most of the time the focus will be on the fighting objective.
I can say with certainty that as long as I’m playing OG SWBF with my friends then I can overlook a little bit of purple on the walls of Kamino, or how that one panel looks plastic on Tantive IV… as long as the game feels the same and i have a good idea as to what I’m looking at, then none of these things matter in the slightest. I’m sorry but it’s insane that this is what you’re worried about
Most of the games i'd want a remaster for they already did... just didn't bring them to PC. This one i don't care about, never played the OG, no nostalgia for it ... this they bring to PC. Give me EP1 Racer and Republic Commando with proper gamepad controls for Steam Deck and i'll buy it.
tbf they never said it was a remaster but most people say it is even though it's just an upscale and they think it looks much better. remasters should be done with a lot of care e.g. night dive
I see your point with the "drawing" type look up close, but as someone who never really played these games in first person I think the improved sharpness of the new textures will vastly outweigh the ai imperfections you point out. Would I have prefered they remade them by hand? Sure, but that could also end up looking too different or looked odd compared to the low (by modern standards) poly models, at which point they would likely need to remake the entire games to make it look visually consistant. That would have been great too, but it's clear based on the trailer that this was never going to be a full remake.
You are complaining about the graphics? The game is 20 something years old, im just happy we are getting the original 2 battlefront games.....when we are playing the actual game we wont even notice them
The tiny practically invisible graphics details don't matter in the slightest to me. Sure, I guess(?) the small graphics details that are "worse", but the rest looks just fine, as long as the graphics aren't hideously broken like the recent GTA re-releases, then it really shouldn't be a "BIG" problem. What matters to me is that we're getting the true Battlefront games re-released together on modern consoles. I can't stand the EA ones with their main modes being locked behind online play, and their stiff and aggravating gameplay, as well as a lack of features that the OG games had. Having games like the OG Battlefronts and Jedi Outcast/Academy on console again is the big selling point for me.
It’s a game that was released nearly 20 Years ago, it’s not exactly going to have any major graphical and textural improvements just because it’s being re released, at the end of the day gameplay is what tops everything and if it’s stays true to the original game then it’s going to be just as good as the original
Agree. Somethings look better and others don't. I hope they allow you to configure the controls. Have you heard anything about that?? I'm probably waiting for it to be cheaper and see more about it. It's a little overpriced for me for what it is.
When I can to see ur video just looking at the the title got me scared thought the iusse was on gameplay in stuff not this small digital back in the day did not care about graphics
Here's my take, and I know it'll sound the same to everyone else, but I don't really care about graphics. I don't care how it looks, just as long as the game plays really good, so much that I'll keep coming back to it. Then that's really all matters to me.
i Am Very Excided to Play the collection i loved swbf1 & bf2 along with kotor 2 i played them alot i think i have over 4000 hours maybe even longer then that back in the day tho i never got to play online back then sadly but i'm looking forward to this collection & i look forward to seeing new people playing the classic star wars battlefronts this will be very fun also i too am a fan of details when ever i go to make anything rather it's building, decorating & or detailing something on a game i always want to give it as much detail as i can & or want to i love it. it is fun & i love art & GN Or Good Day to you

people do not remember how bad aspyr is. Really look up any of their releases and you will find contreversy after contreversy. Its a really shitty garbage developer that botches everything they make
Its gameplay for me that counts, the graphics dont really bother me, it would be awsome if both games were getting remasters with dice graphics but any new star wars multiplayer game in 2024 will be awsome
In the end, we can just mod them back lol also it seems they upscaled the console version textures rather than upscale the PC textures which causes that purple hue sometimes.
Interesting catch. I would have thought the pc version might have been the base given the trailer was likely filmed on PC as it has a mod
This is actually pretty upsetting, I just assumed they would just be using the PC's graphics just because it was the most detailed
Same
I can AI upscale things better than companies. Many such cases!
5:39
In the trailer you can also see from the green command post that this is Hoth on Battlefront 1 in the trailer. The PC version you are using for the comparison is Battlefront 2. That makes a difference.
Light - yes. Small details - nope.
Tbh i don't think this texture stuff is a problem. Just little details. And on my opinion they improved them. As you said, personal opinions. I think it's fine.
These minor details won't matter because I plan on running around and playing the game. I won't be examining still images. As long as the framerate is smooth, I will be happy.
Best thing that could happen is Aspyr get given the near finished build of the original BF3 to touch up and release
Star wars battle front 3 was just Star wars battle front squadron.
Okay so upscale and remake that game in completion @@SillyOmega
@@SillyOmega partially, not fully
The hive-mind is strong, I’m kinda skeptical of the game and the mediocre history of the company. I don’t think they’ll deliver, what you showed are actual bugs. I wouldn’t be surprised if we get burned, I don’t think this is something that’s excusable. Even at this price tag, to just AI upscale everything and to not even use the best textures or edit them. That’s brutal, this game is lacking quality control and this should be a cause of concern. For PC players there is almost no value, they are capitalizing on people’s nostalgia it’s gross. Regardless, I’ve already got a pre-order in with the safety of steam refunds I’ll see if it’s better or worse on launch.
I appreciate the thoughtful comment
I think they ought to just bring HarrisonFog in on it if he's willing and just use his remastered maps/sides, with optional default sides. It would make the game look so much better and garner a lot of support from the playerbase who are itching for graphical improvements.
Hope there's 64 bots for us offline players and a mod workshop on steam.
There is offline bots,up to about 100 or so
Yes XL mode is finally coming to consoles. Look up footage of it on RUclips! Way more bots than the old console versions. Literally big wars
This is what I’m most excited for! 100 bots?!? That’s more then I expected!
@@A7ZATRU I'm not seeing anywhere stating an increased offline bot count. :O
it's called XL mode! That was confirmed in the press release and via PlayStation. Doesnt say the bot count but XL mode on PC back in the originals was 108? Bots I think :)
Lol the amount of people defending this with their lives. Aspyr just inflated the file size just for everything to look slightly worse.
🤷♂️
I normally agree with your videos but this isn't a big deal. I am more than happy to have battlefront back on all platforms with multiplayer. The graphics look fine to me and im normally a stickler for it.
I personally think this is nit picky. Some of the stuff actually looks better, some looks worse (like the snowspeeder)
This is all stuff that wont make any difference while you are playing. If this was a full blown remake then I would 100% agree with you.
Well i dont think peoples gonna worried about how they look since everyones busy trying to dodge those wrist rockets and its an old game im just happy we are getting a battelfront game in 2024
Plus people have been playing the original ones, so of course nobody is going to care about the "outdated" graphics.
@@hermos3602 indeed its not about the graphics by the end of day we are all just having fun and enjoying the game and thats whats its all about.
@@hermos3602 But it looks worse than the pc version?
The only thing I care about is mod support. Pretty much all mods are already superior to the original or whatever Aspyr is making whether it's gameplay, content, and even graphic-wise. If we don't get a mod-compatible server browser, there's no point in the new release. If you look at the Battlefront community on PC (the people who have been playing the game all these years), it is very split on the new release, because we already have a remaster, rebalance, reboot, DLC. If mods are not taken into account, this will be a very short-lived release.
Yeah they've made the original game last 19 years. I hope the same can be said for this
Your issues aren't issues
Good eye, the collection is suspicious. Not 1 word about improvements, on the shop page. Only that all DLCs are in.
oh man when I’m playing 64 player online I’m going to be super mad about that tiny vent that I’ll have to stop playing zoom in on to even notice…yep ruins everything I can’t do this anymore I’m going to demand my refund for my preorder this instant!!
Good video not sure why people feel the need to dismiss or say you are hating in this video, it’s just pure facts but I guess people are blinded by nostalgia
Thank you for watching
@@A7ZATRU new to the channel keep up the good work :)
Thanks!!
I really want this. But I'm waiting for release date and see how it goes from a safe distance just in case.
Always a good thing to do!
@@A7ZATRU I been burned before. "Suicide squad "
Me too. Good strategy. No risks.
I kinda wish graphically if they were gonna cheap out by upscaling on textures they went a bit further on the lighting like with the recent quake 2 remaster. A lot of ports of older games like this screw up a lot of the post processing and special effect shaders that make these old games less flat so going further with the lighting engine would go a long way
I agree
Its a cashgrab to milk money off of console peasants.
Just mod in all the maps into Battlefront II and get all the best maps mods like all the ones with both space and ground combat.
Only way I would ever get tempted to get the collection is if Galactic Conquest gets online multiplayer which we all know will never happen.
Seen a lot of talk about GC online, seems like there is an expectation for it but yeah unsure it will happen unfortunately
“Console peasants” grow up
the "improved" Geonosis background is missing the Geonosian Towers.
Tbf I don’t really care about the graphics I’m just happy to play it again
I'm hoping Aspyr develops *"Retro DLC"* for this game. Add in Ahsoka, and maybe new characters that use weapons similar to those of the Praetorian Guards. Add in the new version of Assajj Ventress coming out soon as well with _The Bad Batch_ new series. _Ahsoka's_ vision of Anakin with a red sabre would be cool as well. Other ideas to be welcomed. - New Heroes and villains with new gameplay mechanics would be welcome.
Unfortunately they don't really make new content
have you ever heard of this developer before? You're not going to find good things
I must admit I can't see any new content for these games it's not the like the EA Battlefront games would be nice though if they proved me wrong
What do you think was going to happened, that whathappen when you up scale l.
Usually yes but not always. Some modders have already upscaled and hand fixed them to reduce the AI issues. It is possible, should not be a mod.
@@A7ZATRU I have to say yes you are right some moders do a lot better than any developer do but I don’t get that like how does one person or two person campaign can make a game way better than millions of the developers I don’t get that I have the remastered modded in my computer. It looks amazing HD graphics very nice HD colours so beautiful but then again you get this game it’s not it’s not even close to that I don’t get that.
I still think this is the best game we have gotten in the last 10 years
I've played the original battlefronts as a kid when they came out and loved em and in the classic collection trailer they both look better then ever as a HD
re release with full multiplayer support
I'm not bothered if the graphics are a bit different to the original I get the nick picks of certain shots of the classic collection
but at the end of the day classic battlefront is back with full multiplayer support for everyone to enjoy what more could we even ask for ?
Just my opinion lol 😊
He was clearly making the smallest things become big problems, he was full on nitpicking here
Still looks better than the original I love the originals I grew up with them
Bro is worried about circles on a texture
lmao fr what a dogshit video
I’m more worried that it looks like ventress reuses aayla secura’s animation instead of the lightsaber nunchucks from the Xbox dlc
I don't think that's the case.
@@moderndemon84 look at 31 seconds into the trailer and in the screenshots for the game on steam they both show ventress using Aayla’s animations which implies that they just incorporated the pc mod instead of actually including the real dlc
this has been debunked as a thing you will only see in the specific trailer because they used some guys mod for the trailer, which will not be the case for the actual game.
There are allegedly already trailers out, said so by the modder himself on reddit, where she uses the proper Nunchucks.
BTW... as someone who only knows her from Clone Wars and never played this game... god what a stupid idea!!! Lightsaber Nunchucks? Are you serious?
You so gonna cut your own limbs and head off, very glad this was just a silly videogame idea and they didn't adopt this for the show.
Inquisitor Helicopter Lightsabers are already stupid enough...
I feel like everyone is missing the point: the gripe isn't about the 'graphics not being good enough' - it's whether the up-scaled graphics justify the MAMMOTH 50+ gigs of storage just to play the games (which it really doesn't). It is really pretty obscene that these 3-4 gig games have quintupled in size in this port. I think that this video actually VALIDATES what everyone in the comments is are saying: that we don't really care about the game being graphically up-scaled as much as we just care about being able to play them again with the option to play online.
Dude....why judge about graphics..... We finally get to experience the GAMEPLAY that the EA Battlefront games robbed us of due to their greed. We are in a gaming market where you can have a fancy looking product, but the gameplay or story is downright horrendous. Just appreciate the fact that we are getting that experience from our childhood as adults again.
I'm not judging the entire thing. I've said multiple times I like various things about it. Just because it's our childhood game doesn't give it a pass. It should look better than it did 20 years ago, it looks worse on some cases. The PC version has been playable just fine for 20 years, we've been able to play it for that long. It's not a long lost game
@A7ZATRU pause. .what was the comparison with? PC? PS2? Xbox? Was this on GameCube? I don't remember. Also I do see your point. Maybe some upscaling should've been done.
PC vs PC. 2004 was xbox though
When playing most will not care
Surprised so many people just dismiss this. Yeah, I admit, the title is over the top (and a bit clickbaity...), but I do agree that this is lazy as fuck and that I hope they don't just release it with so many dumb AI mistakes. Because if the whole game is just AI upscaled, you will notice it in some areas. They obviously want the trailer to look good, but they won't show the worse looking areas.
if I didnt do that, people would not know this is an issue. I raise concern so we aren't surprised at launch but it is just dismissed. I guess we'll see how people react when it comes out and if it has bad areas
@@A7ZATRU Fair enough mate, I get what you're saying, I do agree (and want to add that I do think your video as a whole is cool). I find it a bit stupid that people dismiss the whole video so easily, when some of the new textures are quite bad once you notice them.
Also, off topic, but I appreciate you responding to everyone.
Thanks for the comment I appreciate it!
I would have wanted a remake with fully rebuilt graphics but we didn't get that. This is the next best thing though to at least get the graphics upscaled to 4k and redo the lighting. Some minor errors but I think overall it will look better. Informative video though thanks for making it.
🙌
You're crying over bolts and boxes?.....how do these even standout to you
Some people just have an eye for it
4:57 I doubt they're any different, but the left side image is BF1 and right side os BF2, so there could be different textures
Give me a fov slider and I won’t give a SHIT about noffin
Either way im still happy to get it again and for my PlayStation 5 version to
To be honest I don't care for the graphics, it's only a bonus, the gameplay is what we all need.
How tf are we even caring about graphics here
The game needs to be preserved.
@@A7ZATRU grow up 😂 it’s really not a big deal if you want the “preserved” version play the original no one is playing this for graphics it’s a simple nostalgia trip for a lot of us
The older xbox version lacks XL mode, online etc.
Star wars fans just always gotta complain, this is a blessing yall stfu
I'm always positive and don't complain. I'm allowed to complain about one thing!
This is a collection. I played this when I was like 7. I am now 24 and I am looking forward to playing these games in their outdated graphics and all their glory! 😩
Well, I just pre-ordered the classic collection today, so, I MAINLY bought this because I’ve never played the original Star Wars Battlefront (2004) game. But, Star Wars Battlefront II (2005) I remember FONDLY, THAT game and LEGO Star Wars: The VideoGame is what got me into Star Wars as a whole.
I think if people cared about the graphics it wouldn’t really sell it’s the gameplay we’re here for I feel
Yeah, as long as the gameplay is good, I don't care about graphics.
Graphics are not that improtant.
The only big problem is how much space it takes because the original games don´t even take up 15 GBs of Space combined
I don’t know really - not to sound rude or anything but these are just speculation and I know it may just be my preference but I really don’t mind about the graphics as I will be playing this game as a celebration of these two amazing games. It may just be images taken at an angle or distance which just might not seem the same from the same angle - bearing in mind that this is not really a remaster but a rerelease. I do think that various aspects of the graphics were nitpicking at things that I’m not going to take notice of.
I understand your worries, but honestly In the heat of battle (especially with the XL battle mode) those will be hard to even notice. If you stand still for a little bit, some of it can be eye catching, but most of the time the focus will be on the fighting objective.
I can say with certainty that as long as I’m playing OG SWBF with my friends then I can overlook a little bit of purple on the walls of Kamino, or how that one panel looks plastic on Tantive IV… as long as the game feels the same and i have a good idea as to what I’m looking at, then none of these things matter in the slightest. I’m sorry but it’s insane that this is what you’re worried about
We should all be happy that aspyr games is giving us this game. Maybe after this one, if it sells well, they will bless us with more Star Wars games.
Most of the games i'd want a remaster for they already did... just didn't bring them to PC.
This one i don't care about, never played the OG, no nostalgia for it ... this they bring to PC. Give me EP1 Racer and Republic Commando with proper gamepad controls for Steam Deck and i'll buy it.
@@ZeroB4NG I care about this one
just sad to see the industry keep releasing games with nothing more than a few mods and re-texturing and calling it a "remaster" or "HD"
tbf they never said it was a remaster but most people say it is even though it's just an upscale and they think it looks much better. remasters should be done with a lot of care e.g. night dive
I see your point with the "drawing" type look up close, but as someone who never really played these games in first person I think the improved sharpness of the new textures will vastly outweigh the ai imperfections you point out. Would I have prefered they remade them by hand? Sure, but that could also end up looking too different or looked odd compared to the low (by modern standards) poly models, at which point they would likely need to remake the entire games to make it look visually consistant. That would have been great too, but it's clear based on the trailer that this was never going to be a full remake.
no one cares about graphics because many popular games are gameplay over graphics
There's a balance
@@A7ZATRU I agree but graphics are not everything obviously if there's issues they should be addressed
I haven’t seen anyone moan about the graphics until you, so well done for that
Neckbeard
Original graphics just looked better
You are complaining about the graphics? The game is 20 something years old, im just happy we are getting the original 2 battlefront games.....when we are playing the actual game we wont even notice them
Nothing about it's age, it's the fact it looks worse than the 20 year old pc version.
5:23 this looks significantly in the remaster better you such a click baiter!
Genuine question, is losing all that detail a good thing?
The tiny practically invisible graphics details don't matter in the slightest to me. Sure, I guess(?) the small graphics details that are "worse", but the rest looks just fine, as long as the graphics aren't hideously broken like the recent GTA re-releases, then it really shouldn't be a "BIG" problem. What matters to me is that we're getting the true Battlefront games re-released together on modern consoles. I can't stand the EA ones with their main modes being locked behind online play, and their stiff and aggravating gameplay, as well as a lack of features that the OG games had. Having games like the OG Battlefronts and Jedi Outcast/Academy on console again is the big selling point for me.
It’s a game that was released nearly 20 Years ago, it’s not exactly going to have any major graphical and textural improvements just because it’s being re released, at the end of the day gameplay is what tops everything and if it’s stays true to the original game then it’s going to be just as good as the original
my point wasn't about being better, it's about not being worse
As good as these games are, using A.I upscaling textures is just pure laziness.
Send this video too aspyr games
Honestly I don't care ik just happy that there is more accountability to play these classic games
We need them to take accountability for making it look worse
Ppl thinking AI upscaling downgrades the monetary worth of this game are crazy
@@BGW0 Probably gonna have mod support and thus they know everyone will use HarrisonFog's remaster mod.
@@CommanderRedEXE anyone with any cents will haha
@@BGW0 Depends how they implement mods(already shown a mod being used in the trailer), if console can or can't.
I know it would have been pointless, but it would have been funny to compare these along with the PSP version of the game.
😂
A lot of remasters have already been doing this for a while, but yeah, it’s unfortunate.
Agree. Somethings look better and others don't. I hope they allow you to configure the controls. Have you heard anything about that?? I'm probably waiting for it to be cheaper and see more about it. It's a little overpriced for me for what it is.
Unfortunately I haven't dude, if I do I'll put it in a news video hopefully there will be
Wonder if this will have hdr on Xbox, ps5 and pc
No HDR tag on Xbox so it doesn't look like it I'm afraid:(
@@A7ZATRU dang oh well
I just hope people will make mods for it just like for OG one. There were TONS of cool mods for Battlefront 2.
Wasn't this footage captured on Switch? I'm sure PC will be great with the 4k scaling
Pc.
you should compare the classic collection to the original with modded textures sometime
When I can to see ur video just looking at the the title got me scared thought the iusse was on gameplay in stuff not this small digital back in the day did not care about graphics
they may fix it later. I'm just hoping we get a workshop on steam.
hopefully!
Here's my take, and I know it'll sound the same to everyone else, but I don't really care about graphics. I don't care how it looks, just as long as the game plays really good, so much that I'll keep coming back to it. Then that's really all matters to me.
i Am Very Excided to Play the collection i loved swbf1 & bf2 along with kotor 2 i played them alot i think i have over 4000 hours maybe even longer then that back in the day tho i never got to play online back then sadly but i'm looking forward to this collection & i look forward to seeing new people playing the classic star wars battlefronts this will be very fun
also i too am a fan of details when ever i go to make anything rather it's building, decorating & or detailing something on a game i always want to give it as much detail as i can & or want to i love it. it is fun & i love art
& GN Or Good Day to you
