Star Wars: Battlefront will not have classes

See full gallery on TechnoBuffalo

When it comes time to pick your gear and weaponry in DICE’s upcoming relaunch of Star Wars: Battlefront, you won’t be sifting through classes or class-specific stuff. That’s because the new Battlefront has no class.

I don’t mean that in a belch during dinner at a fancy restaurant kind of way, either. I mean you won’t be picking stuff like Engineer, Assault or Support before you roll onto the battlefield.

In an interview with OXM, as summed up by the magazine’s sister site Games Radar, Design Director Niklas Fegraeus indicated that classes are out. You’ll be able to pick and choose between unlocked weapons and gear freely and build to your own style.

Furthermore, Fegraeus also indicated that Battlefront will not feature the five-person squad feature that Battlefield offers. Instead, players will run as partners, a group of two system that lets players stick together, appear on one another’s HUDs and spawn beside each other. That’s fine by me, as I usually play with a single friend. Not sure how whole clans will feel about this one.

You’ll be able to share you’re unlocked gear with partners, too. So that means the XP gap between players will be irrelevant. Even better, one player can purchase all the weapons in column A while the other can snag B. That’s a complete list of stuff to use split between two characters.

It seems like DICE is doing lots of little things to keep Battlefront feeling completely independent of Battlefield. Just last week we had news that the game won’t feature ironsights aiming, and now we have this stuff.

What do you think of the changes?

Star Wars: Battlefront will sell for the PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One platforms on November 17, 2015. We’ll have more on the game as it comes.

Mad Max meets Mario Kart is just bloody brilliant

How is this for a clever mash-up?  sundbergkr ‘s Mario Kart: Fury Road parody trailer mashes up the worlds of Mad Max and Mario Kart to epic results in this wonderful parody of the film’s trailer. What’s really special about this mash-up is that it isn’t entirely overdone. The Mario references are brief, subtle, and appear just long enough for you to appreciate them before waiting eagerly for the next one. Without a doubt the giant Chomp is the most laugh out loud moment, but the creators also slip in some perfectly timed and inappropriate voice clips during the violent action. I still haven’t seen Mad Max: Fury Road , due it not coming out in Japan until June 20, but I had purposely avoided the trailers to not get any spoilers. Now, thanks to Mario, June 20 can’t come fast enough! Source : Via : Destructoid from TechnoBuffalo http://ift.tt/1AvRv58

Exec behind “Next Big Thing” campaign has departed Samsung

Samsung Mobile CMO, Todd Pendleton, has reportedly departed the company, according to CNET . Pendleton is credited with creating Samsung’s famous “Next Big Thing” campaign, which took aim at the company’s rivals while highlighting the benefits of its own mobile lineup. The ads were smart, terse, and ultimately helped raise the awareness of Samsung’s brand as a major smartphone maker here in the U.S. It’s unclear why Pendleton left, but it’s being reported that Samsung executives became dissatisfied with the campaign’s recent success, even going so far as auditing the mobile division’s Dallas headquarters. It seems you can only use the Next Big Thing tagline so many times; the commercials have taken a decidedly different turn over the past few months, focusing on design, functionality and features rather than bashing Samsung competitors. The timing, I suppose, seems appropriate given that Samsung has just unveiled two new flagships, the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge. Samsung is clearly ...
