‘Star Wars Battlefront’ Gameplay & Release Date: Dedicated Servers, In-Game Diorama Confirmed
By all accounts, "Star Wars Battlefront" looks to be a hit in the making. The few glimpses of the game that have been released were met with overall praise, and the upcoming beta will be open for everyone, to the relief of the dedicated fan base.
However, there have been some concerns over the news that "Star Wars Battlefront" will not be offering a server browser. The game will begin using skill-based matchmaking instead. Some have expressed their worry that players will be unable to maximize the gameplay experience should the developers decide not to provide dedicated servers.
Lead heroes designer of "Star Wars Battlefront" Jamie Keen spoke with PlayStation Lifestyle during the Tokyo Game Show 2015 to clear up the panic over the server issue.
"We'll still have dedicated servers," he assured PlayStation Lifestyle during the interview. "Absolutely. It's one of the hallmarks of making sure we deliver an unparalled online servers for the game."
Another significant detail that Keen revealed in a separate report from PlayStation Lifestyle is the game's progression system. Understandably, players consider this a vital part of the gaming experience as the goal of many modern games is to level up the character and reach the max rank for ultimate in-game advantages and power.
"Being a DICE game, as you might expect, we have ranks for players to go through," the designer explained. "I'm not 100% sure what the maximum rank is, but I think it's been changing as we've been polishing up the game."
It takes time and dedication for players to reach the max rank, and he touches on the number of hours it would take to wade through the entire game.
"I think plowing through, I don't know, it's gonna be tens of hours, but if you're going for full completionist, that number will go up significantly," Keen revealed.
He added, "The other thing that we have is the diorama, which will be an area we're going to be showing a lot of the characters and things, and there's where you've got the real completionists - what they'll be looking at. There'll be very specific gameplay actions that you need to complete that will then unlock certain characters in the diorama."
Soon, the fans can get a glimpse of the hotly-anticipated game during the open beta beginning this October.
"Star Wars Battlefront" will hit the stores on Nov. 17 for the PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4.
