Star Wars Battlefront: New Trailer & Information
This morning/afternoon we saw the Star Wars Battlefront Panel at Celebration, and while it wasn't quite as enthralling as the Force Awakens panel, we did get to see the first new footage of the game since last year's E3. The footage, to say the least, was beautiful.
That is all in engine footage (obviously tweaked in cinematic styling) to showcase the beauty of the game. The developers shared during the course of the panel the depths they went through to create the environments: actually going to the barren deserts of Death Valley, or the infamous Redwood forests of Endor to be able to live and breath the places we're going to be seeing in the game. The attention to detail is obvious, and from the looks of it we'll have at least a new visually stunning platform on our hands as of November 17th, 2015.
There was some other information that was released both in the preview granted to the press, as well as in the panel. These are the highlights that I took away from all that was said in the panel. Obviously this is only scratching the surface, but hopefully we'll have more information soon!

I can't wait to play many many hours of this.
I hope there's enough DBers playing this on XBone or PS4 because I don't think my PC will run this.
I'm excited
Ill definitely be playing on PS4
Ps4 if enough money xbone with those members
Xbone!! Aw Yea. Will compromise and get it for PC as well if I have to.
Will definitely pick it up for PC.
While nice to visualization, unfortunately first person shooter games aren't my cup of tea, so I won't be spending anything on it
this should be interesting. let's just hope this doesn't end up being too close to a rehash of the older entries- as is my big fear.
I just hope they add an online split screen option. No worries if not, would just be nice if they did
Im planning on getting it for PS4 and PC. One for me and one for the wife. :D
Yes.... I love it!
I am a little disappointed they don't have a full-on single-player campaign, but I'm fine with this either way. Will probably be getting it for Xbox One, possibly PC too.
pcmasterrace represent.
hear hear
not that I have a current gen console anymore, anyway. :P
PC PC PC... But 20 v 20 is not galactic scale battles lol. I blame consoles for this. Planetside 2 has galactic scale ground battles this is just piss in the wind. At least make it 32 v 32 ffs.
This will definitely be the first game I buy the Deluxe Edition of with any DLC offered. Xbox One for me!
Cool news about the novel, too
So update for Battlefront..... No space at launch.... No single player storylines.
so i missed the post above that said no SP. My bad. But the no space thing really sucks,
Well, it kinda sounds like BF2 for me. I just hope I'll be able to play it LAN mode with siblings though.
They said there will be off line coop
Well, I guess I'll never be able to play since I don't have any new gen. consols and my computer sucks. years of waiting gone to waste :P Oh well.
