If you’ve watched either trailer, you’ll have noticed how battle-scarred the planet is, especially the shot - below - that shows a downed Star Destroyer. Abrams and Kathleen Kennedy’s panel at Star Wars Celebrations, it was revealed that the Tattooine-esque planet seen in the trailers was named Jakku and not Tattooine as many suspected.
Along with real designed levels (plus, y’know, brick Harrison Ford), it’s probably a more fun proposition – this gameplay snippet suggests it than just feeling like cannon fodder.While Star Wars: Battlefront is all about letting players create and live out their very own Star Wars battle fantasies without trying to recreate any specific moments from the films, players will get a taste of The Force Awakens a few weeks before its release with free Battlefront DLC.ĭuring J.J.
Basic design improvements to give gameplay more immediacy are a great idea the developers probably should’ve thought of years ago, though they have flirted with more satisfying types of control in more recent titles. That said, LEGO games have also evolved immensely since the days of the original LEGO Star Wars trilogy, mostly for the better. It’s not a perfect analogue either, given that the game only spans an assumedly extended, goofy version of Episode VII, the full design scope of which is unknown, and all the ships and characters are made out of LEGO, obviously. Though DICE would be smart to also incorporate full space battles into any sequel (rather than the in-atmosphere skirmishes of their first game), LEGO Force Awakens looks to have them too, though who knows if the game will use them in more than just a few levels. Last week EA Studios head Patrick Söderlund said that cutting any campaign from Battlefront was a “ conscious decision” so that the game could release along with TFA for “strongest possible impact this shouldn’t come as a surprise, since triple-A games are often released on a rigid quarterly schedule, but it certainly doesn’t cast the game in a great light, either. Multiplayer alone just isn’t enough – just look at Titanfall – and it was the lack of real campaign mode that was the most glaring omission.

The biggest complaint leveled at the game was that it was pretty anemic for a full-priced, triple-A release. Star Wars Battlefront received a mixed response when it was released in advance of The Forces Awakens last November.
