Star Wars: Battlefront

[Taernath]

Forget about the Year of the Goat - 2015 is setting up to be the year of the Wookie. With Star Wars making its return to the silver screen in December, the hype train for DICE’s reboot of multiplayer shooter Star Wars Battlefront is getting ready to punch into hyperspace.

Wanton hyperbole? Not likely. Just take the recent EA showcase at GDC, which featured a behind-closed-doors trailer for the upcoming arena battler that had attendees jumping out of their seats with excitement. A trailer featuring brand new footage, we might add.

But wait! There's more!

The positive reaction couldn’t have come at a better time. Following a delay that pushed it into 2015, a series of leaked documents uncovered last month suggested EA is planning to launch Battlefront with an aggressive focus on DLC.

I guess we shouldn't be surprised, it is EA afterall.

I wonder if "aggressive focus" is the same as they have been doing or a whole new level.

The second link has a list, and it sounds like Premium with some DLC characters. I would be surprised if they didn't revisit monetizing battlepacks, boosters and early unlocks.

I'm still looking forward to it, though. I'll probably get it for the PS4 because ever since Battlelog became a thing I have problems with the PC versions.

Meh :/

Looks like it will be fun. I wish they would do a revamp of the space combat sims like Tie Fighter.

..Lord. Can't wait for this.

I was hoping for actual gameplay footage.

I was hoping for a campaign.

Why? Dice campaigns are always a disappointment.
