      Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Edition debuts to stuffed servers, angry players

    The last version of Star Wars: Battlefront , released by Electronic Arts, was so stuffed full of loot boxes and pay-to-play systems that EA admitted it "got it wrong" and overhauled the game.

    So it was that when the well-regarded, pre-EA versions of Star Wars: Battlefront were announced for a modern remaster and re-release , by experienced porting firm Aspyr Media, there was (forgive us) a new hope. As we wrote at the announcement:

    [T]here was nothing quite like the originals, which were PC games first and foremost ... There was a purity to those games that's lost in the general, well, EA-ness of the reboots.

    And, lo, was there much rejoicing when Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection arrived? There was not. Reviews of the $35 package are "Mostly Negative" on Steam as this is written, with roughly 20 percent of reviews positive. Players are reporting numerous bugs and (rightfully, we might suggest) complaining about the lack of an option to invert joystick axes. There's also a lack of aim assist for console players, which typically helps round out their relative disadvantage to PC players using a mouse and keyboard.

      Dune vs Star Wars : deux œuvres de space fantasy pas si proches

      news.movim.eu / Numerama · Tuesday, 5 March - 06:32

    En partenariat avec Tout sur Dune, l'ouvrage de référence sur la saga, Numerama vous propose cet article signé Nicolas Allard. Le spécialiste y décrypte l'héritage de Dune dans Star Wars, les liens entre les deux sagas de SF, mais aussi la façon elles se distinguent l'une de l'autre. Attention, l'article se penche sur les livres Dune et non l'adaptation, qui s'écarte légèrement en quelques aspects.

      Dark Forces Remastered makes a classic Star Wars shooter feel fast and fluid

      news.movim.eu / ArsTechnica · Wednesday, 28 February - 13:00 · 1 minute

    I remember Dark Forces , or Star Wars: Doom , as a slog. Running a demo of the 1995 game on a Gateway system with an Intel 486DX at 33 MHz, I trudged through seemingly endless gray hallways. I shot at a steady trickle of Stormtroopers with one of their own (intentionally) semi-accurate blaster rifles. After a while, I would ask myself a pertinent, era-specific question: Why was I playing this low-energy nostalgia trip instead of actual Doom ?

    Dark Forces moved first-person shooters forward in a number of ways. It could lean on Star Wars for familiar sounds and enemies and tech, and a plot with a bit more complexity than "They're demons, they gotta go." It let the player look up and down, jump, and crouch, which were big steps for the time. And its level design went beyond "find the blue key for the blue door," with some clever environmental puzzles and challenges.

    Not that key cards don't show up. This game is from 1995, so there are key cards, there are hidden wall-doors, and there are auto-spawning enemies. It's not like the Dark Forces designers could entirely ignore Doom. Nobody could.

      Team Kieran or Team Pedro: who are you backing in the battle of the leading men?

      news.movim.eu / TheGuardian · Wednesday, 28 February - 05:00

    In one corner, we have Kieran Culkin, the actor who rose from Succession B-lister to steal the show. In the other, we have the internet’s boyfriend Pedro Pascal, the star of The Last of Us. Who deserves more awards?

    And now, the Oscar for best naked dance through a stately home … Yes, the seemingly interminable “awards season” – as industry luvvies like to call it but real people mostly don’t – has finally entered its endgame.

    From early January’s Golden Globes to next weekend’s Oscars, it’s been two oxygen-hogging months of “noms”, “nods” and “snubs”; of red-carpet pose-striking and unfunny opening monologues; of gracious losers’ rictus grins and smug winners’ weepy speeches.
