8 nerdy Star Wars Battlefront details you missed in that E3 footage

Added: 16.06.2015 14:22 | 31 views | 0 comments


The Star Wars universe is by now so stuffed with detail that Wookiepedia sometimes feels closer to reality than the more-often vandalised Wikipedia does. Given that DICE is now .

In fact, we got a sense of that depth in just five minutes, when we saw the at EA's E3 conference. Those with a keen eye (or, yes, keen fingers and a browser open on a certain in-universe online encyclopedia) can spot some very neat details - both references to the films and the fabric of the game - in the course of one highly-scripted gameplay trailer. Here come my favourites. The outfits, the AT-ATs - everything in the trailer is designed to give you a pleasant little shiver of nostalgia. But that verisimillitude runs far deeper than surface level. There's no such thing as "the" blaster - and this trailer proves it.

Almost every character we see is carrying a different variant of the humble laser gun, from rapid-fire hand pistols to hulking heavy machine gun-looking bastards. Each one's a direct reference to one of the hundreds(!) of variations in the Star Wars universe - more power to DICE for giving each one a distinctive feel. That's not to say DICE hasn't brought a few inventions of its own along. Most obviously, there's a hitherto-unseen grenade being used by Empire troops here. While they do carry around the faithful Thermal Detonators (seen on the left of the equipment panel above), there appears to be a one-time-use grenade that can be picked as heavy equipment, too. When thrown, it creates a blast, which quickly implodes and explodes again, seemingly insta-killing anyone in its radius. Don't be surprised to see some extra flourishes here and there. If this is true, it's proof-positive of DICE's total commitment to Star Wars nerdery. See those binoculars that a Rebel player uses at the beginning of the trailer? Well, they're not your regular binoculars - they're electrobinoculars, tech-enhanced looking glasses used throughout the film series and beyond.

But blow the trailer up to HD and you can see just what they look like up close - look that up and you find out these are a specific brand of electrobinoculars. , to be precise. And where were they used in the film series? The Battle of Hoth. Along with the cold-resistant Stormtrooper armour on show in the demo, it seems DICE might not just be faithfully representing classic films, but single moments within them. When the player takes control of Luke Skywalker at the end of the trailer, the panel we've seen used for equipment or weapon types on vehicles and lesser characters suddenly becomes a little more focused. That symbol on the left denotes the Force Push, we've seen that much, but the others are left unused.

The traditional Blaster-blocking doesn't appear to be one of them - looking closer, I'd suggest the top one looks like a charge attack and, thinking a little more wildly, the one on the right could be a Yoda-style lightsaber-throw technique. Whatever it is, there's some flashy fun we're not privy to yet. The film's Hoth battle only featured humans on the Rebel side, but Battlefront's clearly willing to play fast and loose with tradition on this count. That's a Sullustan you can see shamelessly invoking the good name of Porkins above, and Greedo-style Rodians are milling about, too.

There are a few other changes to the timeline. Most obviously, Luke's in his Return of the Jedi turtleneck phase - but there are also Alliance fleet warships hanging (and occasionally exploding) in the sky alongside the Empire Star Destroyers. Look, I'd probably take whatever I was given if it came to the chance to fly a Star Wars spaceship, but I'd definitely be a little bit sad if it wasn't a TIE Fighter. The evil, winged billiard balls are objectively cooler than anything else going in the universe - and they've got the moves to prove it here.

Watch the player in the Y-Wing earlier in the trailer - it's a fairly standard, plane-style flying experience. X-Wings seem to follow a similar pattern. Then watch the section where a TIE Fighter swerves upwards to avoid an Ion Cannon obstacle - it shoots vertically into the air, then inverts almost on the spot to give chase to an X-Wing. It's a move that shows off just how tricky the little fighter is - another piece of detail that feeds into the gameplay. Check out the guy taking point on that Rebel squad in the ravine - he's using some kind of personal, portable shield to soak up fire. We see a bubble shield later in the trailer (used, brilliantly, to deflect an orbital bombardment), but that doesn't look as though it can be picked up or moved. It seems DICE has a few more tricks up its sleeve. This one's very easy to miss. Look into the distance while an Empire player takes up the gunner position on an AT-AT - there's a faint blue circle in the distance (used to denote friendlies while you're in vehicles), which, after a flurry of blaster fire, turns into an explosion.

That explosion is absolutely miles away, comfortably further than any other unit we can see. The way it lights up the ground implies it could be a walking unit, too, not just a TIE Fighter swooping in from outside the stage. Are we only seeing a portion of Hoth?
Everything from EA#39;s E3 2015 press conference

Welp, that's EA's conference done and dusted. We got our first taste of a new Mass Effect, gameplay footage from Mirror's Edge: Catalyst and Star Wars: Battlefront, and way more Pele than we were expecting. I mean, sure, EA has a huge line of sports games, but seriously, there was a hell of a lot of Pele. And it's all here in our EA conference recap.

There's no need to worry if you missed out on watching the entirety of the conference, we've put in all of the most important information and announcements from the EA press conference at right here. Check out all of the new game announcements and everything else in the following slides.

 Johnny Cash plays over a handful of screenshots from outer space, as a man in a space helmet swipes through them. He walks toward the camera and - boom - an N7 logo appears. Ladies and gentlemen, we have Mass Effect. A CGI trailer for Mass Effect: Andromeda shows off biotics, the Mako, and a Holiday 2016 release date. Aaaaaand... that's it. Inspired by the customization of Underground and the world of Carbon, Need for Speed follows your quest to be the ultimate racer. The world will be twice as big as NFS: Rivals, and will feature a narrative featuring five overlapping stories. There are five different playstyles: speed, style, build, crew, and outlaw, and each one will play an important part in earning you respect. Need For Speed brings back glorious FMV sequences to help tell the story, and the transition from cutscene to gameplay is seamless. As you race, you'll earn experience points based on your ability to pull off risky maneuvers. Need for Speed will be available on November 3rd. Coming October 27th, Knights of the Fallen Empire will bring even more story to Star Wars: The Old Republic, and it'll be free to all subscribers. If this is your jam, you'll have a lot more game to look forward to. Unravel is a side-scrolling puzzle-platformer and it looks absolutely adorable. You play a little yarn person named Yarny, and you'll use yarn to solve challenges and swing across gaps. As Yarny, you'll make your way through underground caverns, across lakes, and through lush forests. Numerous obstacles stand in his way, from birds, to cars, and numerous gaps to cross. No release date yet, but keep your eyes open for this one. Wouldn't you know it, the zombies are still giving the plants a hard time, but this time the plants are having none of it. A new mode sees waves of plants attacking a zombie factory, and as the zombies, you have to defend your base from their onslaught. A few new classes were shown, like the Imp, a speedy ranged fighter that can summon a walking mech from the sky that he can ride around in. There's also the SuperBrainz, a new melee class for the zombies. Captain Deadbeard is the zombie's first sniper class, and he has an ability that lets him duck into an explosive barrel and launch himself in the air. While it seems like a simple evolution of the first game, solo play is new, and lets players fight against AI opponents by themselves or with a friend via split-screen. Plus, most character data from the first game will transfer right into the sequel, and the series will continue to see free content updates after launch. No EA conference is complete without sports, and EA's got a ton of it. Rory McIlroy (say that three times fast) PGA Tour is coming in July, and is made entirely in EA's Frostbite engine. NBA Live 16 will be able to scan your face with a mobile app, and will hopefully not (but will most probably) result in human abominations. NBA Live's passing and shooting game has also been rebuilt, letting it control like, y'know, a basketball game. That one's coming in September. EA's still working on mobile games too, and will release a collectable card game called Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes in the near future. They're also working on Minions Paradise, a game based off of those adorable creatures from Despicable Me. It's building sim (read: Farmville clone) that lets you construct a little playground for your minions. Like any good mobile game, expect a ridiculous amount of in-app purchases. Like the setting of the sun, FIFA 16 is coming this year. For EA, this means dragging Pele onto a stage to talk about unrelated anecdotes for five whole minutes (keep an eye on #whatwouldpeledo on Twitter for some Photoshop magic). This is the conference equivalent of someone behind the scenes making a "stretch it out" motion with their hands. Don't get me wrong, Pele's a fantastic player, and I'm sure he's got tons of great stories… but what does this have to do with video games again? Anyway, they finally talked about FIFA, and yeah, it's more FIFA - soccer so realistic you can practically see the top execs getting carted away to prison. Still, it's really cool to see FIFA finally add women's teams to the game. Mirror's Edge: Catalyst is as much Faith's story as it is about the city she lives in - a high-tech city run by corporations. First-person parkour is back, it looks gorgeous, and it's going open-world. That's right - there are no levels to hold Faith back, as she'll be able to explore an entire city's worth of rooftops and corridors. Mirror's Edge: Catalyst is coming February 23rd, 2016. Madden NFL 16 takes a page out of fantasy football, and will let you draft players, create your own teams, and use them to compete with other drafted teams, both solo and online. The game will also see a raft of improvements (because of course it will), so football fans will have more reasons to buy the same game every year. After keeping us waiting forever, EA finally showed off the first gameplay footage for Star Wars Battlefront, with the Battle of Hoth. The demo EA showed jumped back and forth between multiple viewpoints on both the Rebels and the Empire. Battlefront purists will be happy to know that you'll be able play in both first- and third-person views. Battle on ground, or hop in a snowspeeder (or AT-ST, depending on what side you're on). Combat looks fluid, and battles are filled with dozens of players all running (or flying) around, trying to complete their own objectives. We even got to see a brief glimpse of Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker in action - with Vader force choking an unfortunate Rebel soldier. In addition to the online multiplayer modes, you'll be able to take on Battlefront Missions will let you compete in single-player battles against the AI. Star Wars Battlefront will be available on November 17th.
