12 Obvious Reasons 2015’s Most Hyped Video Games Will Fail

1. Star Wars Battlefront - Online Will Certainly Be Broken

Given DICE and EA€™s track record with releasing flagship multiplayer titles over the past few years, everyone looking forward to the upcoming Star Wars: Battlefront should be worried about the state the game is going to be in at launch. Because if it€™s anything like Battlefield 4 (and to a lesser extent, Battlefield 3), then Star Wars fans are going to be in for nothing but disappointment come this November. Also, given the small amount of time the game has actually been in development (EA acquired the Star Wars license in May of 2013, and DICE didn€™t ship Battlefield 4 until October of the same year, so this upcoming title has had 2 and half years in development at absolute max), then Battlefront's chances of releasing problem-free look even more slim. Of course, there€™s always the chance that both companies will have learned from their mistakes, but you have to remember this is EA we're talking about, and no one would blame you for not throwing down money for Star Wars: Battlefront until you knew for sure you'd actually be able to play the thing.
