Star Wars: Battlefront Is not Just a Battlefield "Re-Skin"

"To my mom, all games are probably more or less the same."

Following fan's comments that Star Wars: Battlefront is a "re-skin" of Battlefield, DICE producer speaks out to challenge the claims.

"I simply don't get the Battlefield re-skin comment," Jesper Nielsen, an assistant producer at the DICE support studio Uprise said on Reddit. "From what we've shown, in what way does it look like Battlefield? Are you seeing tanks, lots of destruction, etc? This will not feel like or play like Battlefield. That's never been our intention."

"To some extent, all shooters are similar," he added. "Heck, to some extent, all games are similar. To my mom, all games are probably more or less the same, right? So it always depends on the person looking at it. I'm pretty sure a hardcore Counter-Strike player would say the differences between Counter-Strike and Battlefield or Halo or Call of Duty are like day and night. It's always about the lens you use, how far you zoom in. To some people, the details matter less--to others they matter more."

Battlefront launches for the Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC on November 17.
