It’s been a long while since a trailer for the next iteration of Star Wars Battlefront graced E3’s screen in 2013 and 2014, but after months of waiting, our first real look at gameplay has finally arrived… And, oh boy, did DICE deliver. Make the jump to see what kind of awesome Star Wars action awaits players this December.

    A preview of this was already viewable at the end of the teaser yesterday. It was on the end screen where one can choose to click on the annotations to other videos from the Star Wars youtube channel. Of course the link did not work on that annotation, but the preview of the gameplay trailer was there in one of those very small windows. No one else noticed it.

        Pomojema, The end of the trailer reads “Not actual gameplay”… geeze

        Anyway, this trailer disappointed me in all honestly. And there apparently will be no space battles so that kinda sucks.

          In engine footage isn’t in game footage. Graphics don’t mean all that much to me anyways. I wanted to see someone playing the game. Get a feel for the mechanics. First person/Third person???? We still dont know. I realize that Dice and EA may be the first victims of an unparalleled hype train.

    Looks like this might finally be what gets me to upgrade to an XBox One (unless Fallout 4 or the new Elder Scrolls game happens to sneak out before then.)

    Not gameplay footage here, true, but if this is the level of realism that the game engine provides, SW Battlefront has some pretty damned stunning possibilities.

    If it plays as well as it looks… Great Googly MOOGLY!!

      But can you mod it, create custom content, or allow a community to add their extended content ideas to it, like addons and custom patches and maps. You mentioned skyrim, that has lots of mods available for it. If your happy with what your given that`s great enjoy. But if they`d give a chance to add extra it would be a real bonus. I have had too much fun with games that pack a map editor along with the game to produce your own maps, then test them out. If they did this it would be a bonus for the money you invest.

    I saw the IGN videos from earlier – I still don’t get about how there’s, theoretically, no Single Player campaign. And for as much as people hate[d] the PT, I for one at least enjoyed playing Battlefront 2 with the access of playing as the clone troopers. Glad that you’ll be able to toggle 1st and 3rd person. But definitely a shame that there will be no space battles. Looking forward to some ST action though – figure out what the hell happened in Jakku! We get some and lose some. I’m still excited though.

    It looks as though Boba Fett may be alive. If I’m not mistaken, that shot of him in the Battlefront trailer might be during the battle of Jaku (crashing star destroyer in background) which one of the devs on stage stated was AFTER battle of Endor.

      Boba Fett is on Tatooine, if I’m not mistaken.

        Jakku is Tatooine.

        1. Same landscape
        2. Same cultures, aesthetics.
        3. The sandcrawler.
        4. The Force Awakens panel promo photo featuring a photo of Tatooine planet.
        5. Boba Fett.

        And the most important of them all:

        6. JJ Abrams said it’s Jakku. Daisy Ridley said it’s Jakku. BUT… Nobody said “it’s not Tatooine, it’s Jakku.”

        Jakku is Tatooine. For some reason, this planet changed name.

        I mean, the Empire is now called First Order, but keeps being the Empire.

            No, they don’t.

            Slowly but surely, white male dominance is giving way towards the diversity paradigm. More female and minority representation in our culture.

            And you base this on what? Vibrancy is our strength. Granted, the new movie heroes is a black man and a white woman so there is that. Probably a decision made on purpose as well.

        I’m not saying there won’t be women and minorities in the game, but I couldn’t watch the trailer without commentating on this. It sticks out like a sore thumb, especially in 2015.

        Star Wars is a diverse galaxy, but all I saw here were white men and one alien.

          You must need some glasses because there is at least three to four women in that trailer and two diffrent alien species other than human. Do some homework before you do your next rant.

            You act like it was easy to tell they were women. I wasn’t sure either way when I saw it. We only catch brief glimpses of them while we clearly see the men’s faces and hear their voices.

            No, I don’t have one, but you make it sound so easy to see the women when I found their appearance in the trailer to be uncertain at best. This is after watching it several times.

            Even if I had assumed that skinny person on the speederbike was a woman, where are the non-white humans? All I see are white people and an alien.

            Yes, because the ones who point out the under-representation of women and minorities in a white male-dominated culture are the racists.

    This is great news if your into computer games. But I find myself in that minority that prefers table top board games, abstract strategy games, some card/trading card games too, like magic the gathering etc. If someone could spare a thought for us, we`d appreciate some star wars table top strategy games. I`m a veteran with the games workshop stuff.

      You can claim a prize if your the first one to notice it. But you gotta be quick about it. You have to call the publisher and request a E10a form to fill out and return, or you can just simply call them press * button and quote `first to notice it form` and they will send it out to you, with a return envelope inside.

      You post it back to them telling them you were the first to notice it and you`ll get a prize. They`ll arrange that with you over the phone. Good luck and well done for being the first to notice it.

      P.S forgot to mention on some occasions, depending on who handles your claim, some staff at the publishers have requested a photo be attached with the form, of yourself proving you were the first to notice it. Basically its just a selfie they want, with you noticing it for the first time.

      You will need to gather five of your most trusted accomplices. Plant a mole within the company to gather intel, and devise an elaborate plan to break into the company HQ and steal the code, thats kept on a USB stick in a programmers desk draw. Basically you`ll need to go in mission impossible style and abseil down a rope, hack all the security systems etc.

      Then you`ll need to fly to china or russia with the USB stick and go down a shady back street alley and pay a genius programmer in an old run down shop to port the code over to pc and compile it for you ready to play.
