One of Josh's first memories is of playing Quake 2 on the family computer when he was much too young to be doing that, and he's been irreparably game-brained ever since. His writing has been featured in Vice, Fanbyte, and the Financial Times.
Aspyr sure is running hot and cold at the moment. Right after last month's well-regarded remasters of the first three Tomb Raider games, the company has put out the Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection, an uprezzed repackage of the original, beloved Battlefront games.
The state of the games' servers at launch are a frequent point of complaint. The original Battlefront games were adored for their multiplayer, but numerous players around the internet report that the Classic Collection launched with a sum total of three dedicated servers—64 players each—to servehost their own servers, which should help, but some users report that feature isn't working properly for them either.
-10,000 people playing on launch night.-Only has 3 servers that have 64 slots for a total of ~200 players.-Multiplayer doesn't work otherwise.-Price Tag of 35 USDJesus Christ I am so disappointed this is robbery, don't buy Star Wars Battlefront Classic Collection pic.twitter.com/JB7oCTHzghHaving checked out the games myself, the situation appears to have been rectified to some extent.
So, maybe hold off on grabbing the Battlefront Classic Collection for now, at least until Aspyr puts out an update about the state of the game going forward. I've reached out to the company to ask about that, and I'll update this piece if I get a response.Sign up to get the best content of the week, and great gaming deals, as picked by the editors.
