⁠@@gillboy5762 I can clear this up! Instead of actually including the old dlc, they used an outdated version of a fan-mod that added the content to PC, you can tell because the animations for the heroes are broken and don’t match exactly how they were supposed to look.

​@erickstotle4285 think about how WB executives just said they're investing more into Live Service rather than single player experiences. Even after how hard Suicide Squad flopped. Those in the corporate sphere at the top making these decisions do not play or really even care about gaming. Its purely a product. So when they see the Battlefront games havent sold to their expectations they don't see that its the quality of the game. They just see "Battlefront doesnt sell," look at what their data analysts say, and move on.

And much like the GTA Trilogy debacle we know that a lot of the problems come from it just being badly AI upscaled.

[@Sieztt]

At the very least, it was nice that the classic Battlefront 1 and 2 were coming to consoles that didn't have it in the first place, like PS4/5, Switch, etc. On paper as long as they didn't fuck up the original games it would have been at the very least salvagable, but they absolutely butchered the online and increased the file size 60+ gb making these games inferior to the releases 20 years ago.

It gets even better with just how bad of a job this "remaster" is regarding the console exclusive characters.

As of this month, Embracer Group, the guys that own Saber Interactive, divested the company by selling it to Beacon Interactive while the Embracer group kept Aspyr so I'm unsure if the KOTOR remake IP is still held by Embracer Group or was it sold, along with Saber Interactive, to Beacon Interactive.

Because you don't have to buy it if you don't want to, You can't really help getting mugged, assaulted or stabbed. In other words they are not NECISSARILY forcing you to buy they're game just heavily guiding you to do it. It's still scummy don't get me wrong, but you can stop it happening to you by not giving consent to them. So technically it can't be a crime because of a crime's nature ( Doing something someone doesn't want you to do to them on they're belonging ). You have a choice to just not buy the game, in the same way you can hang up the phone to a Nigerian prince.

[@SMorales851]

​@@ultimate1769dumb answer. You don't need to be forced at gunpoint to do something, for there to be a crime. False advertisement, selling something that is not what you say it is, is absolutely a crime. If you say "it's a remaster", and it's not actually a remaster, then that could be considered a crime. Selling things of "subpar" quality can also be a crime, if the "minimum quality standards" are encoded into law.

[@Fomor_Ian]

Somewhere in an Aspyr Employee’s journal: What I remember about the Classic Collection launch… was how quiet it was. During the waning hours of development, the game was discreetly announced to release that March. We all knew what was about to happen, what we were about to do. Did we have any doubts? Any private traitorous thoughts? Perhaps, but no one said a word. Not on the lead up to release, not when the game hit the market, and not when the people started playing it for themselves. Not a word.

Well since you asked Bricky: "Which Hell am i?" Assuming that the Warp is hell - We can rule out Tzeentchs Domain for a lack of changes.

This is a good case of what proper and improper management does to a project. Tomb raider collection released only a month ago, same company but they put in management that actually cared about the product (the main head being a huge TR fan and modder for years). The entire collection is 6gb, has a ton of new features/options, totally reworked graphics and many many more things to uncover (like the ability to switch to classic graphics on the fly). That collection was LESS money than this one is, and like I mentioned is less gb than the original 1+2 battlefronts were combined... Oh and dont know if I missed it or not in the video but they also removed 4 player splitscreen, AND multiple single player cutscenes from the game. There's a few other things as well but these are the big ones... you get LESS content and a worse product than just using xbox backwards compatibility or buying the original games on steam (for cheaper mind you)!!! ...CRAZY....

That’s actually huge - I’ve been following the story of this wretched game for a while, and even through it all, there’s a part of me that thought “but wouldn’t it be a fun party game for the Switch? No. No it would not. Thankfully I am still fortunate enough to have a working copy of BF2 on the OG Xbox (for now), and a 360 that can run it. But BF1 is not forward-compatible w/360, I don’t think, so 4-player local for that game is lost to me.

And just basic things were changed for no reason. Why did the BF1 map loading and BF2 objective sounds need to change?!

I feel slightly insulted that the Dead space remaster/remake was shown when talking about bad products.

[@Scottthebassplayer98]

Since we're getting philosophical, here's a simple Proverb: How can man call this "Battlefront" if man can't even watch those wrist rockets?

[@reecedignan8365]

Also something bricky didn’t bring up, but I believe I heard that the Campaign cutscenes for both BF and BFII were bugged. So that while some of them would play others would cut out audio and or just cut/skip/not play at all.

[@thekingofcookies4877]

That's actually fixed now, you wouldn't know because people still only treat the collection like it's still in the condition of it's first hour of launch.

[@fusrosandvich3738]

@@thekingofcookies4877 That's because that's how it deserves to be treated. Any talk of the game even if it goes through a "redemption" should also speak about the original state of the game. It shouldn't be forgiven or forgotten. Also, more people should have some god damn self respect and not buy crap products in the first place, the game being broken on release indicates that they think you're so stupid you'll buy the game in an instant without any care for the actual quality of it. People who release games like that should be boycotted by you permanently due to the clear willingness to disrespect you as a customer.

I think this warcrime against humanity falls under scale 5 of the Remake. That is the Cash Grab

Scale 6: The Insult

[@Parker_Pratt]

What's funny about this collection is EA also just released a C&C collection that's been on Origin to steam and it doesn't have any issues like this and C&C has been dead for just as long as these 2 games basically

[@chillnspace777]

And runs better too 😂

[@syloktheprofane8710]

I was not expecting a "Sam Lake You Hack" meme in a Battlefront video. That's one of the many, many reasons why I keep coming back to the Biggest Brick

[@daniellmartin1993]

Persona 3 to Persona 3 Reload is what remaster standards should be held to. The audio remastering, the UI overhaul, the reworked combat system; they even added more content for the night time activities, extra content.

[@Mercurymallow]

The best philosophy is one forced out of anger

[@MrSpookersMcGeeThe1st]

That one person in the stream who asked "WTF did you expect" fills me with an unreasonable amount of irritation. Ok, just hypothetically we say that a developer released a collection of games 20 years later and for $15 more than the games already are, on platforms where they're already accessible, how about fucking anything being improved? It's that sort of apathetic "Well you got the games, what more do you want?" attitude that helps enable companies to continue force-feeding us dogshit while making fucking bank.

[@tsugu9146]

Im pretty sure some of the "extra console characters" were actually modded into the original and Aspyr used those modded models and animations in the collection without even telling the people that made the mods instead of using the original console content

[@vergildu49]

Ho Bricky you need to check the mod star wars for SQUAD it's feel like a really good modern Battlefront 1 and 2 (unfortunately without the space combat )

[@TheGazza911]

Aight, this is gonna sound like a reach but my theory is that they saw the popularity of Helldivers 2, a game with sci-fi army men blasting away at hordes of enemies on medium to large maps, and rushed their remaster of the game about hordes of sci-fi army men blasting at other hordes of sci-fi army men (or robots, etc) on medium to large maps

[@LiquidSolutions]

Hey Bricky, awesome video as always. I definitely would like to see Star Wars videos from you. Maybe the Jedi series with Cal. Keep up the good work!

[@petrusspinelli6661]

Hey Bricky, could you take a look at Wizard With a Gun? Amazing isometric survival(ish) game with some metroid-vania mechanics, it's really hard to describe. Lots of western cowboy themes mixed with wizards, the soundtrack is a banger oh, and also : Very Positive reviews on steam

[@baileybrute5486]

Sorry you had to make another vid ripping down a Title I know you don't like to do these types of vids

[@BigWyrm67]

Just use the Xbox DLC content for PC mod and Harrisonfog's HD remaster mod for the original Battlefront 2 game. These 2 mods alone is better than this game.

[@thekingofcookies4877]

you also need the remaster mod to fix the aspect ratio and ui and playable multiplayer servers with 5 people that are too laggy to move straight

[@FireStorm5713]

2:30 I saw one of those things about 5 years ago in the waiting room of the orthodontist office I was going to when I had braces.

[@OleCrankyGamer]

All that for multiplayer? I play the 2nd game on KZbin every Staurday, with mods and graphic updates from ModDB and elsewhere. One mod gives me the BF1 maps. Total cost $4 when I got it on sale. Yet it has given me 1000 of hrs of joy. This is a crying shame and thanks for shitting all over it. Disney can't give us good TV shows or movies, now they are killing the good old games...

[@riedenstien9799]

Bricky with no mic is kinda uncanny NGL

[@tonykastaneda1]

It’s 2024 we’re not having this argument about remake or remaster. A remake is a new engine and visuals with updated mechanics. A remaster is just enhanced visuals and maybe a rebalance of mechanics

[@Bruh-zu9dm]

Man past and future bricky are such a cool duo. I hope they keep collaborating in the future!

[@jmk3723]

Not only can you get the OG games for $20, you can buy keys from a third party site for a fraction of that cost. I paid $4 dollars total for BF 1 and 2 a couple years ago and modded them for free.

[@dzangordenakha3995]

Stay strong Bricky, your suffering will be rewarded when Remedy remakes Max Payne 1 and 2.

[@edd4760]

Hi again Bricky. You might not remember me, but I posted a comment on your last video about why you should try out *Gunfire reborn!* I can see however that you so far haven't seemed to gotten the message yet so I'll instead make this guarantee to you. For each new video you release that isn't about *Gunfire* I will give out an unexagerrated build which you can make within the game. I sure hope that sounds good to you cause I am gonna do it even if you don't want me to :D You can play as a Thunder Lion that can launch bricks at 70 mph which has enough force to send a god of gluttony into the shadow realm. The way to do this is to take the skill called *"Magical Supply"* so you can keep using your Charged Shots. After that focus on skills like *"Shadow Knight, Storm Blast & Eye of the Storm"* as these will increase your base shot damage. Mix taht with scrolls like *"Hawkeye Sight, Glazed Sight and Long Shot"* which all increase your Crit X _(Crit X increase the damage you deal with a Crit Hit)_ and soon enough you can one shot anything and everything! Looking forward to seeing you again on your next vid pal. Take care!

[@darkestcarving8735]

3 weeks of development Missing code that modders can easily point out They messed up the loading screen sounds And Missing cutscenes in the campaigns!!! They are selling less for more!

[@callumn2111]

Im honestly more confused and almost impressed than angry. How do you fuck up updating and releasing a 20 year old game? Thats like being told to pour milk into a bowl of cereal and somehow causing it to burn.

[@PhilosophicallyAmerican]

12:00 Yeah, the award sniper rifle has always done that and it has less ammo to boot, no less.

[@LunaPPK]

I assume the file size is so big because the idiots just went the lazy route and AI upscale everything and called it a day the devs behind then seem to have a record of just being shotty trash so makes sense

[@user-yl8fc9vm5e]

EA Battlefront 2 is actually like 110something gigabytes last I downloaded it so the classic collection isn't bigger but still that file bloat is crazy.

The new online was the main draw for this version instead, but from what I’ve heard there aren’t enough servers
