Great excitment and a few concerns of dice handeling this game.

[cg303]

I am very excited that Battlefront 3 is being released by DICE
this raised my hopes for
1.Awesome Graphics
2.An excellent interpretation of a real Star Wars Military experience
3.Expert weapons handling and multiple abilities
4.Greater specialties
5.Awesome Multiplayer
6.Fully Destructible Environments!
7.Ground to space flight and boarding ships!
7.The list goes on

BUT.....

My concerns
1. While Dice is the expert at fps games will we lose the feel of battlefront and not have our 3rd person? (gears was in 3rd person I don't wanna hear any crap about shooters sucking in 3rd)
2. I am so excited about the ground to space flight and cant wait to hop in a fighter and wreck hell on stuff but will the handling be like the battlefield jets or be a lot easier and smoother to use.
3. I know its just a shooter but it would be amazing to have a character creation screen, stormtroopers may all look alike but the alliance wasn't made up of clones.
4. Multiplayer will be great but Dice and other Fps company's usually fall short on a story mode and it only last like 5-8 hours tops. Lets have a great immersive story like mass effect or something of that nature.

I know most people are content just to have a star wars game but I've waited this long and I don't want a star wars game I want an experience.

I know that DICE are primarily FPS developers but really... DICE at it's core... is just a game engine... you could make anything of of it in theory, not just First person games. My worry would be that the developers working on it do not have enough experience working with the type of mecanim controls that will be required to make the characters looks worthy of Star Wars. Though this is only a small issue and most of the developers at DICE are Star Wars Battlefront fans (as I red somewhere). Besides, if they're breaking relatively new ground with a third person shooter based around Star Wars Battlefront, I gave faith that they will receive adequate training. Perhaps some devs from the original star wars Battlefront games will actually be brought in to help.

Yeah, Andrew is right, Dice is awesome and will deliver. They wouldn't have taken over if they couldn't bring something epic to the table.

Certainly, They are very well know and very well respected, I remember when I first heard about them they went from being a completely new studio to something amazingly impressive in less time that almost anyone I've ever seen. They're as big as they are for a good reason.
