Star Wars: Battlefront ingen "påkostad Battlefield-mod"

Dice-höjdaren Patrick Bach tystade kritikerna då han i en intervju under Star Wars Celebration poängterade det faktum att Star Wars: Battlefront är mycket mer än bara en mod till Battlefield med stor budget. Bach påpekade att teamet hos Dice har varit noggranna med att hålla sig till Battlefronts grunder och inte ha med saker som inte passar in i Star Wars.

"The whole idea of building a Star Wars Battlefront game is about two things. First of all, it's called Star Wars Battlefront for a reason, so we're going back to the roots and the core ethos of that. On top of that, it's Star Wars together with LucasFilm. We have the opportunity to work with them on this; it's a super tight relationship. We have daily contact with them - they approve everything, we discuss everything with them. It's super tight."

Bach hade också lite saker att säga om spelarnas möjligheterna att skräddarsy sina egna karaktärer i spelet:

"You won't be able to put a pink cape on Darth Vader. That would be easy for us to build and some people might say that'd be fun, but its not authentic. That's how we're grounding all of the features in the game, including the customisation. Picking alien heads, or different heads for different species is something that we think people want and its also true to what Star Wars stands for. And there are different things like that that you can do."

Så vad tycker ni, är det synd att det inte blir några färglada Darth Vaders, eller räcker det med att man kommer kunna spela sullstaner och andra utomjordingar?
