A big surprise when they announced that Battlefront Classic Collection is not only coming to consoles but also comes to Steam.

But we already have those?

New things added. LAN, Split screen,new controller support, Steam achievements, Hero assault on some new maps.


STAR WARS: Battlefront Classic Collection is released mars 14th 2024.

Petroglyph wanted to say that they still are keeping an eye on their game Star Wars: Empire at War and its expansion Forces of Corruption. 17 years after its release it gets its latest patch.

Nothing revolutionary, its more under the surface, updating both game to 64-bits. Modern PC can handle old 32-bit games, so the difference is little. But. There is a big but. When it comes to mods and modders, 32-bits was a hard limit on what you could do with the game. Now with 64-bits, modders can get more creative and alot more ambitious. And this game really have alot of talented modders that have done some great things.

As with many patches, and many old games, most gets an better experience of the game, but some gets new problems instead. Petroglyph have developers that are looking into hot-fixes.

The patch-notes from Petroglyph was this:
"▪ Both games have been converted from 32-bit to 64-bit applications, which will solve many out-of-memory bugs and crashes that players were experiencing.
▪ Multiplayer out-of-sync issues have been addressed, which should improve stability.
▪ There have been numerous gameplay fixes addressing balance and incorrect unit behavior."

EaW is a RTS, real-time strategy. It offers both space and land-battles, galactic map with over 40 planets to control, you can play as the Empire, Rebellion and with the expansion the corrupt side. The game was very well recieved on its release and the game has had a healthy mod-community for many years.
