Summary
AStar Wars: Battlefront Classic Collectionplayer online has shared a cool image comparison of the new collection, showing off the huge graphical improvements made over the originalBattlefront 2. While gamers have had many issues with theStar Wars: Battlefront Classic Collectionso far, these changes are undoubtedly an upgrade.
It’s fair to say that the launch of theStar Wars: Battlefront Classic Collectionhas not gone how Aspyr might have hoped. On release day, the game was plagued with issues, and severe rubber banding made it unplayable for many. As a result, theStar Wars: Battlefront Classic Collectionwas review bombedon Steam, leaving the game with a “Mostly Negative” rating on the platform. While the collection certainly needs a lot of work to get it to where players expected, the visuals are definitely an area of improvement.
The great comparison was shared by Redditor billonel, which compares several levels from the originalBattlefront 2with the newerStar Wars: Battlefront Classic Collectionon PC. It’s immediately clear that the game has been given a fresh coat of paint, with all the textures looking extremely crisp when compared to the original. Gamers were confused when theStar Wars: Battlefront Classic Collectionfile sizewas revealed, but it seems that the high-quality textures may be to blame here.
Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection Graphics Improvements
Some in the thread speculated that the textures may have even been upscaled using AI enhancements. Considering they do seem to be the exact same textures from the original game at a higher quality rather than completely remade from scratch, it’s certainly possible, although this is purely speculation. Considering how plenty of gamers feel about the use of AI to replace the work of humans in the games industry at the moment, this could be yet anotherStar Wars: Battlefront Classic Collectioncontroversywaiting to happen.
Hopefully, now that the game is in players’ hands, developer Aspyr is hard at work fixing the issues that gamers are continuing to have at the moment. It’s certainly not all doom and gloom for the game. As well as the massive graphical improvements, it was recently revealed thatold mods still work on theStar Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection, meaning players have access to 20 years of modding work done by the community. There’s still plenty to be positive about with the collection, and with a few fixes, it can become the definitive way to experience some of the bestStar Warsgames ever made.
