I mean, there's like 30+ minutes of it to be found in the Bethesda and Microsoft E3 conferences.

In fact, here's the gameplay trailer.

I felt uncomfortable reading that. Fear of the Other is an issue that has perpetually troubled humanity, and to propagate violence as a solution and as the automatic reaction of a human being (especially for the purpose of humour) to something that is only different to us is counterproductive form of thinking. It would natural and understandable to be shocked and startled at such a strange sight, but a shapechanger is not inherently harmful or dangerous, and thus to kill one would be demonstrating nothing but the abhorrent danger of irrational fear of the other.

Yeah you put way more into that post than you needed to.

Lol at EA expecting the brand to sell the game. Lol at Dice making it a reskinned Battlefield.. Lol at EA expecting this to be some hit success. Sympathy for Battlefront fans rightfully being pissed the worst possible fucking people to get the rights got them. Sympathy for the Battlefront franchise, which has been turned into a circus to sell some shitty spin off of Battlefield.

I've met like 1 one person who still wants a battlefront 3 right now. Literally everyone else is hoping it gets cancelled somehow, and Disney gives the rights to a a good company, like Bohemia or something.

I wouldn't have Bohemia makes Battlefront 3 if I'm honest. Just find the guys who made the originals. I reckon it'll be a broken buggy mess like BF4 too.

As far as I'm aware they've faded into obscurity or formed indie studios or joined competitors, no way we'll ever see them working for EA again.

I hope that they'll essentially remake it under a new license. Like the Rare guys did with Yooka Laylee

No, the problem is the implication that the audiences condone the topic of the humour.

Should we stop caring about humour that involves racial stereotypes then?

Yes, because anything and everything should be exploitable for humour.

The joke in the post was that the way the player changes their face right in front of their wife/husband was fucking weird and immersion breaking, and in a rpg that's kind of a disconnect.

Yeah exactly, honestly some people need to stop going too far into things and drawing up imaginary implications. Its a fucking pisstake of how immersion breaking some aspects of RPG's can be, nothing else.
