Star Wars Battlefront developer DICE didn't want its upcoming sci-fi shooter to be too much like Battlefield. Instead, the team has been working hard to ensure the upcoming multiplayer shooter has an identity of its own.
"We have a strong legacy with Battlefield, but we did not want this to be a Battlefield game," DICE general manager Patrick Bach told The Guardian. "We wanted it to have a heart and soul of its own. We came at it from a very different angle.
"We know that the core audience of a game like this is different to the Battlefield audience. There's a crossover, but Star Wars fans expect a Star Wars game, not a Battlefield game. We looked at what Star Wars stands for, rather than asking how can we tweak Battlefield to be something else."
Are you pleased with the direction DICE is taking Battlefront?
