It gets even better with just how bad of a job this "remaster" is regarding the console exclusive characters. Asajj Ventress is was literally just a skin swap using a community made mod of another character. People even data mined the game and found 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 ).

Okay, so the thing at 11:51 with the nonexistent hit-detection is actually a problem with Battlefront 2 as it normally is. The Award sniper rifle is trash because it has a range limit. Yes, really - a *range limit.* It has a maximum range, *UNLIKE* the normal sniper rifle, which can crossmap with no issues. Many players straight-up refuse to use the award sniper for this reason alone. However, ironically, it is actually a really good weapon on corridor maps. The beam it fires pierces through enemies and can hit many targets at once in a line, letting you clear chokepoints with a dozen enemies in a flash.

That we need to NOT have as high expectations for AAA games because IT’S HARDER FOR AAA GAME DEVS TO MAKE A BETTER GAME THAN SMALLER STUDIOS OR EVEN INDIE STUDIOS. So yeah, everyone, if a large studio makes a game we aren’t allowed to hold them to a high standard, because with all those employees and all that funding they can’t make as good a game as much smaller studios with lower budgets. I’m looking at you Larion with Baldur’s Gate 3 and you ArrowHead with Helldivers 2.

Seems like alan wake (he is a writer) did irreversible damage to Bricky. Now he is not in a loop, he's in a spiral.

[@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?

[@NemesisOgreKing]

I had such high hopes for this with how well the Tomb Raider 1-3 remaster turned out. I guess Crystal Dynamic did most of the heavy lifting there and not Aspyr. 😒

[@Dizzy0422]

Never have I clicked a video so quickly. When I heard "I'm gonna hand this off to Future Bricky" I KNEW I was in for a treat lmao

[@williamglass2223]

My friend is a big Star Wars fan, but I don’t even think he could comprehend my anger after playing this. I was looking forward to it because I played Battlefront 2 on the original Xbox, but I never got to play online on it. They took a pair of completely functional games, and literally ruined them. As a Warhammer fan, I think we’ve gotten a taste of the first dark age of technology. Multiplayer didn’t work opening night, and the online was just abhorrent. And just basic things were changed for no reason. Why did the BF1 map loading and BF2 objective sounds need to change?! There was literally nothing more to do than increase resolution and add multiplayer, and they couldn’t get that right with two already built games. This game is the first I’ve ever returned digitally. Just go buy the originals. Just pathetic.

[@TheMothdemon]

Cry more tw@

[@makehappyfaces2542]

It brings me great joy to see that Bricky is a man of impeccable taste and has dubbed the V-Wing "My Beloved" because my boy deserves that recognition for being just wonderful.

[@TheRealGrindle]

WATCH THOSE WRIST ROCKETS 😢

[@dariusslim8694]

The enemy has taking a command post, take it back!

[@giraffeofdoom5389]

There's something about indignant Bricky that is extra funny, even when you're behind everything he's saying.

[@lllXanderlll]

Well that section about the difference between various remakes and remasters is really helpful for the times that my friends and I have discussions about things like the Dead Space remake. I think that one would be between the full on remake and the faithful remake since it adds new story elements and background lore, side quests and stuff

[@thekingofcookies4877]

Yeah it's great to know that someone online actually knows the differences between these things.

[@insomniacnerd5592]

Battlefront 2 from my childhood was my favorite game growing up, so having the franchise end up like this just makes me upset.

[@NightLordShadow]

Star Wars has taken so many punches in recent years. I can’t even get a good remaster of games that were my childhood. I am glad I moved over to 40k than try to cling to the rotting carcass that was star wars.

[@MrSpartan993]

At least we still have the “legends” aka Pre-dogshit-Disney material still all available out there.

[@Stad122]

To be fair, the dark forces remaster/remake also released lately, and from what Ive played so far, its pretty good.

[@SYLRMHA]

Its the most overrated IP with only one and a half good movies under its belt not to mention the bottom tier mouth breathing fans

[@Galimeer5]

This is the Battlefront 3 curse manifested. 1. LucasArts/Pandemic Battlefront 1 Battlefront 2 ❌Battlefront 3 2. EA/Dice EA Battlefront 1 EA Battlefront 2 ❌EA Battlefront 3 ❌3. Aspyr We're never getting a good Battlefront 3. I've accepted that. Star Wars gaming peaked in 2005 and it's been downhill ever since.

[@swordbrotherulbrecht3286]

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

[@Itsunobaby]

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

[@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 )

[@dizzpenzerr5367]

You can actually see a glimmer, a glint, on pre Battlefront Collection Bricky's eye with how much hope and happiness he has for the game.

[@BOAT69_69]

WHERE IS DEEP ROCK GALACTIC BRICKY!!!

[@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!

[@agentwash1]

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

[@Bladist1]

Scale 6: The Insult

[@tonybippitykaye]

I genuinely do not understand how you can take two nearly 20 year old games, do little to nothing to actually improve them visuals wise, yet make its storage space 9 times larger than both those games combined. That’s just unacceptable.

[@theswarmsquad3606]

Old bf2 being so shit it revives new bf2 is crazy

[@paulallen2680]

Old bf isn’t shit; classic collection had lot of bugs and the online was fucked. Old bf definitely have some shit in them like the gunplay and lack of customization but so does the ea bf with its hero spam, bullet sponges, and removal of vehicle features.

[@tomtheconqerur]

14:45 *Laughs in RE1*

[@garygelthaus]

You spelled Philosophical wrong

[@davidkoch311]

What’s the music in the background starting at 18:58?

[@MFG1243]

I'm a bit late, but it's the trial music for Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney. It's a very good game series that I would heavily recommend checking out!

[@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

[@stalhein62]

There is one good thing about this - me and a couple of friends spent a convivial time playing the original Battlefront 2 without the remaster, despite it crashing more often than Blind Pew behind the wheel of a Reliant Robin and me needing the Hubble Telescope to read a damn word in-game.

[@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

[@SixshotRevan]

When past Bricky handed the video off to future Bricky, I immediately got a commercial for a local injury lawyer. Bricky is clearly seeking damages for what this re-release did to him.

[@baileybrute5486]

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

[@dannyruggles7020]

Sony:"My god, the Concord launch was awful. What can we do to make people forget?" *_Battlefront Classic launches_*

[@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.

[@TheCooldog]

I couldnt help but legit guffaw at the fact the first part was Bricky from *before* the game releasing, it's peak comedy.

[@riedenstien9799]

Bricky with no mic is kinda uncanny NGL

[@roberthunter7247]

@2:31 lol how the Nintendo 64 controller was locked down is like a friend letting you grab some hot cheetos but they are the one holding the bag & pinching their fingers close while doing so... 😄 nah I'm jk

[@andreworders7305]

13:57 that theory doesn’t really add up considering the lack of servers was the main reason this was a failure, making that paradoxical.

[@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.

[@brendanmystery]

I was so confused when I first heard about everyone saying they were gonna remaster the classic battlefronts, because from what was shown in the clips on their steam page, it all looked the same as before.

[@landonvlcek9047]

"good... Twice the pride (storage space and price) double the fall" Count dooku 😂
