"I'm giving this one to Coruscant" "Definitely goes to Kamino"

[@jesterdewit478]

and yet the modders did it for free.......................

[@camuro8]

I absolutely love battlefront 2 remastered, it’s the only game i can play by myself for literal hours. it’s just such an awesome time

[@codycry3196]

Bro same I literally see everyone complaining about it I haven't heard anyone say anything good like I get it multiplayer sucks but single player is still amazing I can play instant action and galactic conquest for days

[@theaces3697]

@@codycry3196 the reason you probably dont hear anyone talking about the good things is because the original versions are better on PC (has all the mods) and Xbox (is already upscaled, forced 60fps and has HDR), the only console that gets a better version is PS5 as the PS2 version sucks so for Xbox and PC users the classic collection is actually worse than the classic versions even for singleplayer

[@nerdFerb]

I play on steam deck I prefer the classic collection because of the controls

[@khsj1430]

[@scarletcrusader5431]

11:32 Forgetting the best part about Tatooine Remastered is all the extra spaces and characters added to maps, like the cantina band, various store fronts, and different creatures added throughout the map

[@Keesiskaal]

Its the diffrence between a passion project and a blatant cash grap!

[@foreverfree101]

I cannot believe you did not talk about the coruscant space battle I played that literally yesterday and for f***** sake that is amazing it's just like in the movies

[@marcosrecio4062]

One thing that you forgot to mention is the amount of movie references in some of the maps in the Remaster. Force ghost Qui-Gon in Dagobah, the holochess board on the rebel's cruise, R2 and 3Po on the deathstar, etc... There's a new update coming with new skins also for the remaster, can't wait.

[@mecrumpet]

The only vote I disagree with is i think the classic collection of kashyyyk should take the win for being more film accurate with the colors and textures

[@irotr53]

The classic remaster is really good improvement in my opinion

[@henrykkeszenowicz4664]

Classic collection Coruscant actually looks on par imo. The floor looks shiny and good.

[@Extreme96PL]

They really should just pay the author of the Remaster mod and implement it in the game (like CDPR did with the author of the HD Reworked Project for The Witcher 3). A lot of work had already been done, textures, models, locations, etc. But I guess they wanted this to be as much cashgrab as possible with minimum budget.

[@camgeiger]

I wish the remastered project wouldn't have removed all of the bright vibrant colors. Also, I really don't like the Storm Trooper color change, it needs to be bright white, other than those two things, the remastered project is easily better than the CC

[@jelanihamblet9943]

Is it really fair to do a comparison of a mod that took time and effort to remaster a classic game to a game that just got ported

[@GrooveSpaceArk]

One had a team of people behind it and released worse than a 20 year old game while one was made by one guy and is great. So yes?

[@JoeHoeDoesSomething]

Yes, one is made by a whole company that costs more than the original games, bigger in size, plays and runs worse than the originals, while the mod is made by 1 person, the mod is free and only 5gb

[@artexjay]

Removing the red glow in the prisone cell hallway is a negative for the remaster

[@readok8342]

there is the ghost of Kenobi in Daghoba in the remaster mod!

[@SnoShooh]

I like it how Andrew says we do Star Wars stuff here while wearing an Indiana Jones shirt😂

[@mooselumps1]

Coruscant is a planet of city, the night sky would be bright from all the lights, the classic collection version is definitely a more realistic night sky

[@readok8342]

I think you forget to compar the Yavin 4 map, not the dlc one, but the rebel base.

[@Cyfiero]

The remaster is definitely better in almost all respects, and the classic collection has been a dumpster fire, but I wonder if doing this comparison really made sense since, as you said, the classic collection isn't a remaster. So it is kind of like asking if a re-release that has been upscaled is better or a remaster. If you wanted to just spotlight the remaster and promote it as an alternative to the classic collection, making the video "why the remaster is better" would have been more earnest. On a side-note, this is the first time I've seen footage of the remaster, and there is something uncanny valley about all the character models, their postures, and their proportions.

[@rodolfohernandez3303]

I've almost had a heart attack when you gave the Classic Collection one point in favor for the Mustafar map

[@samueldiaz4561]

Not to be that guy but I'm not really a fan of overhaul visual mods because they tend to go way overboard with it like oversaturating, contrasty, and shiny textures and colors, very too smooth textures, character models look too funky, cartoony, and shiny making it look like plastic. They're cool and make maps look amazing but it gets rid of the vibes of the map and the feeling of the original game like for example in Kashyyyk. Classic collection does look a bit better than the original but it still keeps that original vibe of the map/game. Still, though, they could have done way better with the Classic Collection graphics.

[@ephriamwinslow4103]

what I always didn't like about endor in bf2 2005 was that it was too dark in the sense that, the trees, the leaves, and the ground/grass color palettes blended a little too close to each other that if I squinted my eyes, details get lost. I found it infuriating to play as the empire when I could barely see the wookies and ewoks especially when I could only the game from our old 90s crt tv. the classic collection seems to address my issues in a sense by brightening the bark of the trees, but now it seems to stick out like a sore thumb. whereas the remastered project has made endor significantly better for me lol

[@viperson9818]

Battlefront 1&2 should have been made similar to halo MCC. Where basically they remaster the games looks and on the fly you can instantly switch between old and new.

[@jacobwest7]

The classic collection is an upscale, yes but the thing is it shouldn't have been

[@aniceguyinablackhat]

I wish the remaster mod could handle ultrawide or that I could find another mod that fixed the ui on ultrawide. Otherwise, it's literally unplayable compared to the collection, which is playable but still very broken.

[@harvestercommander3250]

Well it’s a literal fact that community made mods make any game better than what the original developers made.

[@trashaimgamer7822]

Only problem with the remaster is that it's PC only. And I can't play with Mouse and Keyboard(specifically the keyboard) It physically hurts having to twist and stretch my fingers to reach all the buttons, especially when three of them are constantly occupied with WASD on something that can be achieved better by one single thumb stick.

[@carnage0685]

is there not a way to connect a controller to it

[@-CrimsoN-]

One thing you forgot to mention about Naboo is that the remaster fixes the bug where your units (or the enemy units) will all get stuck in the upper left of the map!!! I don't think the classic collection fixed this at all. Naboo is such a pain because of this bug, but with the remaster its fixed and the map is surprisingly enjoyable!

[@SuperGta12345]

Even though I've played the remaster for some years now, the space maps never fail to take my breath away. Most likely, because they are far more recent additions. The only possible fault Harrison Fogs mod could have is that the assets look abit plastic/blender like. But this obviously due to it being based off a ps2 game.

[@gphysco]

From the beginning I knew the remaster will always be a dream come true ❤️

[@ByKolaa]

Am I the only one who prefers the bright vibrant colours? May not be accurate to how it should look but imo, it looks more fun

[@EatThatTTV]

Do you have to have the original bf2 to get the remastered mod?

[@captainfach]

I guess the reason why they didn't actually remaster the graphics is a little apparent when you look at their other remasters of other Star Wars games. They're just in a habit of putting them to new consoles because they know they'll get the money and everybody loves Star Wars games so they don't really need to do anything. Even when they advertise they were going to do something one time with Kotor 2 they ended up not doing it

[@DavidStapley0982]

Does anyone know if there is a way to add back in the "new" maps from the classic collection into the remaster?

[@sirducksworthythe3rd842]

Classic collection is a great remastered port, and ilmd gladly of paid, and still will pay 60 bucks for a physical version

[@Faizu777]

Looks amazing I’m glad I bought it on my switch OLED

[@roninevans6795]

There was an update to the remaster mod a couple of weeks ago that includes the DLC content.

[@jakebocaj]

I just wish the pc version better supported higher resolution and controllers not having split screen really sucks

[@TacosAreWizard]

I played the remaster mod the other day and there is no sound on Polis Masa. Has anyone else run into this bug? Plz help

[@wildcatky3435]

I certainly liked aspects from EA’s battlefront 2 and the original and would’ve been 100% down if EA had taken the original and remastered it to modern graphics like what happened to Halo 2. BF2 already had a arguably iconic campaign, improved galactic conquest, space battles, etc and if they combined the elements from the class system and specialty units in EA’s version into the remaster, I believe you would have a player base similar to Hell Divers 2. Hell, they could’ve expounded on the cutscenes like Venators traversing hyperspace between missions or you, as a clone trooper, walking up the steps of the Jedi Temple during order 66 to do away with loading screens. The current BF2 campaign would’ve been more effective as a DLC campaign to entice players to stay and expound on the events after the Battle of Hoth where the original ended. LMK if you agree or disagree

[@thepainkiller5527]

My biggest issue with the collection was me getting booted from servers specifically seeing "booted from session" and not sure why or if that was part of the server issues. Like the map would load up but then I just get immediately booted with the message I quoted and I played on playstation, was that part of the issues everyone else had or was that just me being booted by the host or other players? It happened to me quite a bit...

[@UltimaVentus57]

Is it actually playable now or are we still on the same issues?

[@The_Spartan117]

It is playable as someone who has 117 hours on the classic collection yes now battle front 1 is a bit weird UT I think it's just like that but personally you should probably play battlefront 2

[@FRAMEWORKS_72]

Next stop, battlefront 3? APRIL FOOLS!

[@sasij222]

How did you fixed that bug that appeared for you that clone legions and skins cannot be changed.

[@nikkel2587]

I tried to to install it several times, it just doesn't work for me... it crashes everytime i load a map

[@poopyswerls24]

Did you use shaders or just the 2.0 textures?

[@sebastianbelu1417]

Dont want slaughter the classic collection just for the sake of it but tbh just think of the classic Obi Wan vs Anakin fight. And its really dark with extremely contrasted and saturated bright lava reflections. That actually looks extremely accurate

[@sirducksworthythe3rd842]

Winner is classic collection cause it's the only one of the 2 thats remastered and not a remake of in gane assets that get replaced, so their for this comparison is invalid

[@memeaids445]

If there is one thing I absolutely can't stand about the """"Remaster"""" mod, and most "beautifier" mods for older games, is how out-of-place the higher resolution textures and overuse of shiny/glossy textures looks. All the cheap effects? It just never sits right. It feels more like Baby's First Unity Game on Steam Greenlight.

[@Tuskin38]

Bright sky on coruscant makes sense if you consider the light pollution

[@JonathanVanosdale]

At this point they just need to partner together and rebuild the game and then relaunch it, of course for free for the people who’ve preordered/bought it already.

[@icysolez23]

So after all the fuckups during launch, is it safe to say it’s worth getting now?

[@ermincakovic2855]

I'm playing Battlefront 2 (2017) on PS and i seen so many new players. Y'all think this got to do something with the classic collection release and some guys got hyped up and bought it or was i just lucky.

[@allanromero5496]

Does anyone know if they patched up the glitches yet?

[@scarletcrusader5431]

14:00 You didn't show Space Coruscant? It's the best looking Remastered Space map! All the different Capital ships and Lucrehulks you can actually enter is insanely accurate to RoTS

[@DracziK]

and if you see the EGM mod for battlefront 2004 and compare it with the classic collection... the official remaster will have no chance of getting even one point

[@trentoninnewjersey]

So they brought back cutscenes to the end of the campaign missions, but not the right ones. Now the intro cutscene plays during the end of a campaign mission. I bought this to play Battlefront 2 on the Switch but unfortunately it’s a horrible version of a great game

[@DarthTelos]

Fully agreed! Wish we had mods on Xbox!

[@StalwartTirith]

"We'll keep a tally of which is better." Yes, because a video that starts off by saying the classic sucks and the mod is the greatest thing ever is definitely not going to be biased.

[@jdog4673]

Classic collection sucks he said

[@theaces3697]

the classic collection does suck though? for us PC and Xbox gamers the classic collection is the worst version, only reason its good for PS5 players is because they cant play the original versions so they are stuck the awful Asspyr cashgrab

Do you really think the city planet coruscant would have such a pitch black night sky? Have you never been to a city at night? And that's just one city not to mention the entire planet is covered in massive sky scrapers all lit up. Classic collection definitely wins that one. Darker ≠ better.

[@bogdaniorgulescu1641]

Yeah man... I really don t know what planet star wars games developers live on... Are they completely unaware of the fan base???

[@OnlyHeretic]

as a one,s console gamer i still play my pc with controller on all games battlefront 2 had no controller support quick download fixed now i play BF2 steam remaster project with controller support and my god this game has never felt better modern dev,s are absolutely lazy and uncreative

[@Pan_Z]

Should've hired the modders to do the Classic Collection.

[@Makocat]

I know the remaster is good and all but god someone add a way to remove the gattling guns and slug throwers from these games. They are the worst part about Battlefront II regardless of what version I play. I get the remaster is trying to be faithful but I'm wondering if there are mods out there that change those to be regular blaster bolts or add repeater blaster bolts and sounds at least. Either option would be better, even if I can't play it on the remaster project.

Class collection udms a great remastered version of the games, this comparison is invalid for remaster mod is actually remake mode, causevuts replacing in game assets

[@christianyorke1929]

Got so excited then I realized it was a mod😭

[@supersteve1585]

Imagine the remaster mod being released for the classic collection😁

[@vruxdrossgaming]

You're comparing a PC version of a game that can be modded to a re-release with upscaled textures, of course the modded version will look better and it's on PC which has technology that can make visuals look better and consoles is limited to its graphics card, not really a fair comparison at all, a more fair comparison would be comparing the original versions of Battlefront 1 and 2 to the classic collection and point out the differences and improvements in the visuals and textures. Plus you have to take into consideration that Pandemic was under a 1 year time constraint to make the game, they didn't have time to add all these extra textures like a mod creator could. It's a re-release not a full remaster or remake.

[@NebLleb]

But what about player numbers?

[@JoeHoeDoesSomething]

On Steam, Battlefront 2 classic has more players than the Collection, I can't speak for GOG (Steam and GOG has cross-play) or consoles

[@LocalHomelessGuy]

Cries in console

[@captaincharisama94]

Ngl I'd rather playEA BF 2 than the classic collection

[@monfortnicolas5448]

Classic collection is not a remaster. It was not advertised as such. Classic collection is a re-release of the legacy games with upscaled textures and that's it. Honnesly, the classic collection should not have been released on PC. It does not make sense, neither should have been on Xbox One nor PS4/5.

[@diaryofagrievernamedjohnwe1433]

I WILL STICK WITH THE ORIGINAL.

[@artexjay]

the idle and shooting animations in the remaster has always been bad, and not smooth at all compared to the OG so thats a negative point for the remaster. And why did they make the stormtrooper helmet so phAt

[@sirducksworthythe3rd842]

Upscaled is remastering the assets, your a idiot if you say battlefront 2 isn't a remastered, causevit is, only way it wouldn't be a remastered if they literally did nothing to graphical assets and just ported straight as was from ps2 version,xbox,pc, wich they didn't, caymuse the grapjlhical assets were ipscaled, wich by definition makes classic collection a remastered version
