John Williams’ classic score is littered throughout with specific themes used to herald the arrival of heroes and villains. The sound design, aside from the awful Hero voice-acting, is also spectacular. Weapons, vehicles and Heroes were all created using this method. It’s breathtaking seeing the fresh snow of Hoth or the forest of Endor right before a deadly battle and then watching as blaster fire and explosions tear it apart. DICE used a technique called Photogrammetry to recreate the many models and environments of the film in-game, and the results are spectacular. Dynamic lighting, detailed textures and meticulously crafted environments all work together to create a wholly authentic Star Wars experience. Battlefront is a gorgeous game to look at and listen to. It easily nails the style of Star Wars, but does it have enough substance to keep players playing?ĭICE nails the Star Wars experience from a presentation perspective. Star Wars fever is at an all-time high thanks to Episode VII: The Force Awakens coming out in about a month, but first we have Battlefront, the first of EA’s slew of Star Wars games. Creating the follow-up to one of the most beloved Star Wars games of all time, Battlefront 2, is a daunting task even for a developer as seasoned as DICE. It was never going to be easy for publisher EA and developer DICE to create Star Wars Battlefront.
