The release of the remastered Star Wars: Battlefront games sparked considerable excitement among fans, but now frustration is bubbling over due to their surprisingly large file size.
The Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection’s tumultuous launch, marred by bugs and unplayable multiplayer, has left players scratching their heads over why it demands so much storage space.
A Reddit post by GivenMercury shed light on players’ bewilderment upon discovering that the Classic Collection requires a hefty 72.58GB, a stark contrast to the original games’ combined size of a mere 7.3GB.
Adding to the confusion, some players found the game taking up slightly less space at 62.87GB, fueling speculation about potential optimization oversights by developer Aspyr.
This discrepancy has led to calls for refunds from disgruntled fans who feel shortchanged by the product.
Expectations were high when Aspyr announced the remastered versions, promising new content like playable characters Asajj Ventress & Kit Fisto and an extra map.
However, excitement turned to disappointment upon release as players encountered numerous issues, particularly with the severely limited number of servers.
With only three 64-player servers available at launch, the multiplayer experience suffered, failing to accommodate the enthusiastic player base.
Despite Aspyr’s efforts to add more servers, it hasn’t been enough to salvage the remaster’s reputation, leading to widespread boycotts and backlash from the community.
Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection offers fans a chance to immerse themselves in iconic battles from the Star Wars universe.
From engaging in epic multiplayer clashes to conquering the galaxy in single-player Galactic Conquest mode, players can relive the saga’s thrilling moments.
Available on various platforms including PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, and PC, the Classic Collection continues to attract fans despite its turbulent launch.
Aspyr’s handling of the Classic Collection’s launch has raised questions about the company’s approach to remastering beloved titles.
While the game promises to deliver nostalgia and exciting new features, its rocky start has left many wondering if it’s worth the significant investment of time and storage space.
Only time will tell if Aspyr can address these issues and restore players’ faith in the remastered Star Wars: Battlefront experience.
