Star Wars Battlefront: Explore Tatooine, Hoth, Sullust, & Endor.

Battlefront ExpanseA recent feature on EA’s website for Star Wars Battlefront lets you explore the game’s four key planets in depth – and it looks like that there’s a lot more content to the base game than meets the eye. There’s also a lead-in video to this feature that shouldn’t be missed.

 

 

 

On to the good stuff – the actual exploration feature itself. The site features sequences of gameplay through the various locales of the four playable planets, pausing on occasion to allow players to look at certain gameplay mechanics in-depth. In addition to details on the playable characters and the weapons they use, there are also extended sequences of gameplay footage displaying the majority of Battlefront‘s 13 modes.

 

Battlefront hits the shelves on November 17. Brace yourself, Star Wars fans – after a whole decade of waiting for another console-based installment in this series, the game is almost here!

    I hoped to see other planets… so this disappointed me. Even though surely its viuaaly stunning

      I would assume that if this sells well (and I think it probably will) they’ll use it as a platform from which to build out the in-game galaxy to include a lot more planets. I agree, at the moment it’s pretty limited – but I don’t see it staying that way for very long.

        I guess that in this sense it is very much a Battlefront “reboot”… renewing the original for the latest generation (of console) ☺ I agree, many more locations will follow on the back of its success.

        They’ve already confirmed that there will be five expansions – the first of which is Jakku (and is completely free). My guess is that they will pad the other four expansions out over five or six months – at each expansion will *probably* have a new planet for it. If I had to guess, I’m thinking they’ll go with Bespin, another TFA planet, a Prequel Trilogy planet, and an original world.

    I love the way they’re expanding on familiar locations. I can’t wait for more planets, however, I’m surprised they left out Mos Eisley. They offer all the other OT movie locations on Tatooine and some new ones, but no Mos Eisley? Just some hangar bays out in the desert?

      its probably included, we just havent seen it yet. we’ve only had 2 trailers and a beta so who knows? Im more surprised Jabba’s palace is missing.

    What’s the planet around 0:18, Sullust?

    This almost made me reconsider a preorder… they did an absolutely stunning job.

    Is the game really, truly going to look this good during gameplay? I get the feeling that everything they’ve been showing is just a bunch of bullshots and pre-renders. Some of the stuff they have shown just looks too good to believe.

      The beta looked pretty great on the xbone.

        It looked great on mine too when I played the beta. Preordered the game and I’m glad I get to play it the day it comes out!

      I played the beta on PS4 and thought it was alright. It looked good, but not as good as that short trailer made it look.
      I actually cancelled my pre-order after playing the beta, but might still order it, I’m not sure, might wait for the price to drop.

        Thanks for the feedback. GMG has it available for around $40 so I went ahead and grabbed it. I’ve been waiting for a new Battlefront (and good Star Wars game in general) for far too long. Even if it isn’t as great as they show it to be, it’ll probably still be worth getting.

    This just justified my new PS4 with surround sound, beamer setup with 110 inch + screen no end. Bring it on ! This is going to be epic !

    Check out youtube gameplay, there’s was a beta a few weeks ago. Real game is almost as good. Still looks great in my opinion. Endor looks great.

    I cancelled my pre-order after playing the beta. It was alright, but the multiplayer is just too chaotic, to the point of not being enjoyable. Everyone just runs in dies, run in die, run in die, just like call of duty, which gets boring real quick.
    I’ll buy it, but later on when the price drops substantially.

    OMG the sound mix is pristine, both in the trailers and the game itself! If any of you played the demo, sure you noticed that blaster shot echoes, a la WWII, the stunning thermal detonator explotion sound, among others. I hope TFA sound effects are as good as Battlefront’s.

    I guess they couldn’t make Sullust look like it did in Rogue Squadron as that’s pretty much what Mustafar turned out to be. From the PT, I’d like to see Kashyyk next and Yavin 4 from the OT. From this new film, I’m really interested in Takodana as it’s shaping up to be my new favorite planet.

    Fixed that for you.

    Video looks very nice, but in the game nobody will be walking. It’ll be jumping all over the place firing wildly with hackers spamming grenade attacks constantly. (I say this based on my short-lived experience of a couple of WW2 games online).

    I’d like to play this but I always play solo. Maybe that’s what the developers should’ve thought of.

      That’s really what has me on the fence about whether to buy it. The MMO experience is usually just so damned superficial, and I’m afraid Battlefront is gonna end up being all flash and no blast.

        I played the beta and liked it over all. But it is really just COD with a MOD of Star Wars. At least of what you could play. Very anxious to try out the air battles for sure.

      then you will enjoy the hero mode!

    I just checked the Endor forest moon footage and I’m somewhat underwhelmed. The shuttle landing strip is very shiny, I presume Lord Vader had a word with the landing platform officer in ROJ first, before seeing Luke.
    The bunker seen next to the landing platform in ROJ didn’t have Star Destroyer windows, is this now the galactic standard?
    And the deflector shield generators were underground, what I saw suggested the opposite.
    Seeing Star Destroyers flying in the sky is undoubtedly a cool visual, but first in REBELS and now in BATTLEFRONT (don’t forget Jakku) it gets boring. Why didn’t we see Star Destroyers over Mos Eisley in ANH or in the Endor forest moon nightsky during Vader’s arrival (and departure) in ROJ?
    And, of course, one has to wonder whether we are actually going to see the mother planet Endor during gameplay in the sky. It’s the moon OF Endor where gameplay takes place.
    For immersive gameplay I for one need surroundings that reflect and extend what we’ve seen / known so far, I’ll guess I wait for more gameplay videos to see whether I really want to play in that kind of environment.

    The price of this game with the season pass is a scam…I hate EA…same thing with Fallout 4…they are pushing it with 100$+ price tag

    ONLY 4 freaking planets!!!!!! Im okay with only the OT, i never liked the prequels anyways but seriously!! Bespin, yavin, Tantive IV, dagobah, the death star…..They better not try to sell extra locations as DLC cause these should be in the main game.
