The site is live ... http://starwars.ea.com/starwars/battlefront ... and the reveal trailer goes up in a little over 3 hours from the time I'm writing this. Coupled with the EpVII trailer released yesterday, my inner Star Wars geek is freaking out.
At the end of the official trailer, there are three panels showing footage of stuff, the one on the left is from the new Battlefront. Dice/EA people on twitter were saying it's in game which would be crazy if true.
appears AP published their story a bit early LINK some of the info: 40 players Bubba Fett and Darth Vader playable force choke as Vader dogfights with Tie Fighters and X-Wings
Polygon has a decent write up about it. http://www.polygon.com/2015/4/17/8444145/star-wars-battlefront-preview-release-date
Holy crap, I have to get this game. I thought PS3 would be my last console purchase, but looks like I'm going to have to give in and go for the upgrade.
Was just thinking this is quite possibly the most excited I've ever been about a game. Combination of MW3 and Star Wars? How has this not been done before. Fudging awesome.
Yes, it's a bit like the difference between playing a FIFA game and Pro Evolution Soccer if that makes any sense. Battlefield and the like are great games but being able to play characters that you grew up watching wide-eyed in movie theatres as a kid is just awesome.
Im very disappointed it does not have a single player campaign. But other than that, the game looks amazing.
Some alpha gameplay footage was leaked today, and promptly taken down. Didn't get a chance to see it.
