Hey, the first two games being ported gives me hope. After all, those two PSP games would need a lot more work than the console games. And considering this collection is meant as a 20th anniversary celebration of Battlefront, it made sense to keep it to the games most people recognise. The Squadron games can easily follow in a year or two as a fully remastered/remade collection. Would be the closest thing we'd get to Pandemic's Battlefront 3 were that to happen.
I respect the optimism, but I don't share it
The PS blog even leads with
Aspyr is proud to announce, in celebration of the 20th anniversary of the beloved Star Wars Battlefront series, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 will soon be able to play the classic Star Wars Battlefront games online and offline in a complete collection.
and I can't help but be annoyed at that use of "complete"!
Yeah, the use of complete is annoying. But as I say, most people would only recognise the Pandemic games, so from that 'certain point of view', it is a complete collection.
I guess we'll have to see what Aspyr's next Star Wars project will be after this releases. But honestly, I don't even want Aspyr going near it. Rebellion is still around. Let them handle bringing their Battlefront games to new systems.
