Star Wars Battlefront developer DICE didn't want its upcoming sci-fi shooter to be too much like Battlefield. Instead, the team has been working hard to ensure the upcoming multiplayer shooter has an identity of its own.
"We have a strong legacy with Battlefield, but we did not want this to be a Battlefield game," DICE general manager Patrick Bach told The Guardian. "We wanted it to have a heart and soul of its own. We came at it from a very different angle.
"We know that the core audience of a game like this is different to the Battlefield audience. There's a crossover, but Star Wars fans expect a Star Wars game, not a Battlefield game. We looked at what Star Wars stands for, rather than asking how can we tweak Battlefield to be something else."
