Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection's first update is here, and it fixes a laundry list of problems fans have experienced with the remasters since launch.The remastered collection, which includes 2004's Star Wars: Battlefront and its year-later sequel Star Wars: Battlefront 2, was supposed to bring the classic shooters into the modern age with 64-player online support, improved visuals, formerly Xbox-exclusive DLC, and fan-requested features like the ability to play the popular Hero Assault mode on…

Star Wars Battlefront Classic Collection developer Aspyr Media has launched the first major update for the retro gaming release. Currently only available on Steam, the first Star Wars Battlefront Classic Collection update makes a significant number of fixes for the poorly received bundle. Expect the update to trickle out to PlayStation, Xbox and Nintendo Switch later this week. As you can see from the patch notes further down the page, the March update fixes a handful of multiplayer issues, a ton of visual problems,…

Star Wars Battlefront Classic Collection seemed like an easy win for developer Aspyr Media when it launched earlier this week. Featuring two all-time classic Star Wars games from the early 2000s, the PlayStation, Xbox, PC and Nintendo Switch collection felt like a guaranteed hit, provided the servers were up and bugs were kept to a minimum. Unfortunately, however, the launch of Star Wars Battlefront Classic Collection didn't quite go to plan. Releasing to mostly negative reviews on Steam, fans complained of a lack of…

A modder whose work was reportedly used in Star Wars Battlefront Classic Collection without their permission has panned the release of the game, calling it “a total mess”. Speaking to IGN, modder iamashaymin said, “The fact they had to release patches both before and immediately after releasing two decade old games really says it all. Especially considering part of the patches is rumoured to have removed content they had already said was removed months ago.” The latter half of that quote refers to the accusation that…

Aspyr has admitted a series of “critical errors” impacted the launch of the Star Wars Battlefront Classic Collection. Originally announced last month, the Classic Collection brought together the first two Star Wars Battlefront games for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S and Nintendo Switch to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the series. Alongside the base games, the package included a number of bonus levels and characters as well as an online multiplayer mode that was advertised as allowing up to 64 players to take…

Aspyr Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection should have been a slam dunk. The new package contains some of the best Star Wars video games ever made, which are all now widely available with multiplayer support across all modern platforms. Star Wars: Battlefront II is my favorite game of all time, so I was ecstatic about its announcement at February’s Nintendo Direct: Partner Showcase. It is gratifying to have these two Battlefront games bundled together on a platform like Nintendo Switch, where local co-op or…

As part of today’s Nintendo Direct, Aspyr and Lucasfilm Games have announced Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection, a compilation of the two online multiplayer games. The original Star Wars: Battlefront was released in 2004, followed by Star Wars: Battlefront II in 2005. Both were largely multiplayer affairs that generally followed the capture framework set by 2002’s Battlefield 1942, but with a Star Wars twist. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r93xbVSlflI In 2015, EA would return to the series with the simply…

A developer who worked on Star Wars Battlefront III has claimed the game was "two yards from the finish line" before it was canceled many years ago. Developer Michael Barclay, who now works at Naughty Dog, made these comments in response to a Twitter thread where developers discussed the projects they worked on that amounted to "the one that got away."To be clear, Barclay is talking about a Battlefront game in development at Free Radical Design in the mid-2000s, not the newer series from DICE. That's an…
