Star Wars: Battlefront First Reveal Trailer Released

Earlier this week, EA released the first reveal trailer for its upcoming game: Star Wars Battlefront. Available for PS4, Xbox One and PC, Battlefront is the much anticipated successor to Pandemic Studio’s previous instalments in the long running series: Star Wars: Battlefront and Star Wars: Battlefront 2. Rest in peace Pandemic, you glorious buggers.

Displaying in-engine footage, the trailer shows off a number of well-loved environments from the Star Wars universe, such as Endor, Hoth and Tatooine, and reveals a couple of fan favourite characters that will hopefully appear, or maybe even be playable in the final release. It should be considered that the trailer is a promotional video and therefore, not necessarily representative of the final product. However, if the flow of combat displayed is anything to go by, we can expect a constant escalation between faction based firefights, air to ground vehicular combat with fan favourites like the AT-AT and Tie Fighter, as well as the mid-fight appearance of ‘hero’ characters like Darth Vader and Boba Fett.

With the big set piece reveals out of the way, the trailer also presents a number of smaller details for fans of the series to get excited over. Keen-eyed viewers will notice a rebel fighter dropping a bubble shield to protect him from getting his face blown off by laser fire, the Jawa sandcrawler that serves as a backdrop for the Tatooine battlefield, or the star destroyer hovering over the battlefield at the beginning of the trailer. Needless to say, the combination of these details are enough to get any Star Wars veteran excited for the series reboot. If that’s not your thing, then there’s a hell of a lot of shootbangs and explodey goodness to tickle your fancies all the same.

No doubt that Dice and EA have a lot to live up to, and the expectations of many a sceptical fan weighing heavily on their shoulders. This reveal has many of us waiting with bated breath, questioning whether the legacy of the Battlefront series can be upheld, or even improved upon in its latest iteration. Here’s hoping, eh?

Hi folks, I'm Tom. I spend most of my time ignoring university deadlines, eating biscuits and making sarcastic remarks about the state of the video games industry. Sometimes I write about these things. Mostly its bad.

ReFantazio Takes a Different Approach to Romance, Setting Itself Apart from the Persona Games

Atlus’ highly anticipated RPG, Metaphor: ReFantazio, appears to incorporate familiar systems reminiscent of the developer’s acclaimed Persona series. The game features turn-based battles that heavily rely on exploiting enemy weaknesses. Additionally, players have the ability to summon warrior spirits during combat. However, the most significant aspect of this game, which will be discussed in this article, is the bonding system. Through this system, players can spend time with important characters and gain deeper insights into their personalities and stories.

In contrast to the Persona games, the bonding system ends at that point. Unfortunately, players will be unable to pursue romantic relationships with their beloved waifus, which may come as a disappointment to those who have developed strong feelings for Hulkenberg, the party’s charismatic red-haired elven knight.

According to Siliconera, the absence of romance came up during a recent question and answer session. Atlus emphasized the continued opportunity to develop meaningful relationships with your allies while also introducing additional narratives through substories. In addition, familiarizing yourself with the supporting characters will grant you access to new archetypes, which serve as the game’s character classes.

In the Persona games, romance is not obligatory; rather, it serves as a means to customize your playthrough. However, it is quite unexpected that Metaphor has chosen not to pursue such a venture, considering the significant amount of discussion it typically generates!

Were you anticipating any romantic elements in Metaphor? If you’re not satisfied with your pre-order, feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section below.

It appears that many

are eagerly anticipating the launch of the highly anticipated PS5 exclusive, Stellar Blade. Shift Up, the developer, has shared a lengthy video showcasing the “secrets” found in the physical box of the game for PS5. From what we can gather, these secrets include a reversible cover/dust jacket and a download code for cosmetic items.

We must clarify that while we do appreciate the variant cover, it may be more appealing than the game’s standard art. However, it is not something we would typically classify as a “secret.”. However, what’s interesting is that Shift Up has confirmed through the comments section that this will be the case in all regions. Additionally, the visually striking action RPG will remain uncensored worldwide.

It’s refreshing to witness a developer going the extra mile for physical collectors, and it’s evident that the developer is determined to leave a favorable mark in the console realm. Stellar Blade is set to make its highly anticipated debut this Friday, April 26th, exclusively on the PS5.
