Played 90 mins on PS4 today, glad to see there is a setting to turn off chromatic aberration and film grain, hated that stuff in beta. Quick thoughts after just multiplayer, I did play B1 on and off since launch but probably only sunk around 30 hours into it.
- star assault is not fun. Ship control just feels wonky, queue times were a bit weird (kept getting into 1v1 games that just kept waiting and waiting for people to join), and I wasn't sure if I should focus on objective or kills. Maybe I just suck at flying but it just felt all kinds of wrong,
- after 90 mins I had 15k credits but I think I got 7k credits for ???. I got a ton just from the challenges stuff too, so that probably won't repeat that fast.
- hero vs hero is fun, while stuff like vader and luke have to be globally unlocked most of the heros are available to play like rey, lando, etc. I had the most fun here.
- 24 v 24 assault is pretty fun but people don't seem very focused on objectives which can be frustrating, especially on stuff like the bomb plant stuff when you plant and it gets disarmed when you die. I honestly didn't find any huge issues here as using luke/darth/etc takes 8k points and I was lucky to get 3-4k points in a game, then again I really suck :(
Overall pretty meh, I'm enjoying the star wars vibe but multiplayer feels like a few tweaks of the original BF1 rather than a much better game, and it definitely has a few one step forward, two steps back vibe. I look forward tomorrow to playing the SP campaign which is what I mostly bought it for.
