New Star Wars Battlefront Trailer Pops Up From E3
June 16, 2015 by brennon
Some fantastic footage has appeared from E3 showing off what Star Wars Battlefront is looking like, even at a pre-alpha stage of production. The video above shows the Assault on Hoth by the Imperials with AT-ATs and AT-STs galore fighting it out in a very nicely done snowscape...
May The Force Be With You...
There were two modes shown off at E3 with one of them being a standard battle between Imperials and Rebels on Hoth and the other being a co-operative survival mode style affair where you battle against waves of enemies; a bit like Horde mode in other games like Gears of War and Halo.
You can watch the 'Walker Assault' above which I think we got pretty spot on when it came to the Salute game, and then follow the link HERE to find the Battlefront Youtube channel where you can watch the Co-Op video. Or alternatively, just click HERE.
Gameplay involved a lot of running and gunning, plenty of cool weapons and grenades and the use of jetpacks to get around the battlefield. There were also punishing orbital strikes and some opportunities to ride in the vehicles like AT-ATs (on rails), AT-STs and then TIE Fighters and X-Wings too. Oh and Snow Speeders, let's not forget them!
I loved both of the Battlefront games on Xbox and I think this is looking like a great return to form as a reboot on current gen consoles. I reckon the guys in the studio will be sacking off work to play this when it's out!
What did you think?
"Oh and Snow Speeders, let's not forget them!"

While horde mode is very much poor man’s co-op IMHO, it is better than nothing and I guess it’s more replayable than full or parallel campaign co-op which is my usual preference. I just hope this is a decent execution of the game mode ala Mass Effect 3.
Plus, you know, Star Wars. 😀
I call dibs on AT-AT driving!
It has already been said that the AT-AT’s move on their own along a scripted path. You can shoot stuff if you like, as seen in the video, but you’re not going to be moving them.
I liked the PS2 version…
Am I the only one watching that who just did something a little bit unholy in my pants?
What? Did you put a star trek miniature in your pocket?
This might have persuaded me to get a PS4!
Waiting for it to come out on pc..for all the brokeness of an EA produced game release to blow over the game to be patched up and all the hype to die down then I’ll pick it up for 20 quid….sorted.
I would die so often in that game. Not just because I’m crap at this kind of thing but because I would be walking along looking round at everything in awe.
The looks, the sounds… Brought a happy tear to my eye.
I would just wander around those Echo base tunnels in awe…
Looks like E3 got inspired by the BOW participation game at Salute 😉
I have to say … WOW! That is so freaking awesome! I know that if I played the game I’d be horrible at it as I know from past experience that I’m not very good at that type of game. The image and sound quality (assuming the trailers are a good representation) is incredible.
Wot no Shenmue 3 post? for shame!! shame!!!!
that looks ace.
was that filmed at the B.O.W. Hoth table?
WOW! I have waited soooo long for this!
HOLY CRAP !!!!! AWESOME Me want Me want NOW.
2017? I guess I’ll have saved up for a PS4 by then.
