December is a long way off but November 17th is a little bit closer and will give you something to stave off your impatience as that is the release date for the new Star Wars Battlefront. The Frostbite based game will support up to 40 players in a battle with all your favourite locations, characters, weapons, and vehicles; from various eras in the Star Wars galaxy from what we can gleam. There will also be a single player mode consisting of what EA is referring to as crafted missions, which may be playable in co-op mode aas well as solo.
This being an EA game they have already coated it with the repulsive substances, In Game Footage, Pre-Order and DLC. They claim in this article at HEXUS that "the amount of content in the game has absolutely zero to do with DLC. I can say that with all honesty.", undermined by the fact that if you pre-order you get access to a map called "Battle of Jakku" on December 1st instead of the 8th. This of course smacks of future preferential treatment for those willing to pay for early access to content everyone else has to wait for. The trailer below is referred to as being in game footage but we are all smart enough to know that while it is certainly rendered with the game engine it is not representative of what your game will look like while you are playing it. Can EA do more harm to the series than Jar Jar or is this just a minor inconvenience at the release of a game that will prove to be a fan favourite?
"It’s got all your favourites: the robocow, crossjets, hoverbikes, the notorious Crumpet Eagle, Johnny Rockets, and even that mean black Cylon with his lasersword. I am far more interested in the unreal possibilities of sci-fi face-shooting than humdrum real-world jazz."

Honestly, if the game is
Honestly, if the game is basically BF with a star wars skin to it, then I’ll get it. I pretty much just play BF type games just for the MP and this looks interesting.
This is definitely cut scene
This is definitely cut scene footage. How many Darth Vader’s can there be in MP mode?
Well, that depends on what
Well, that depends on what you mean by the term “cut scene”. It obviously isn’t gameplay, it is more like a canned benchmark where scripted things are happening with preset camera angles and such. The trailer specifically advertises “game engine footage” and at the end there are some clips with the label “in-engine” or “early in-engine footage”.
My understanding is that while the video we are seeing will be possible with the powerful enough hardware.

Do you have a reference for that? They show a Playstation logo, but I haven’t seen anybody from EA, DICE, or Sony claiming that the trailer is running on the PS4.

“I don’t like making hard guarantees,” Nielsen said in a Reddit thread about the trailer, as DICE_TheBikingViking.
“The game hasn’t shipped yet. We’re not done with it. But this is how it looks right now – on PS4 as well, yes.”

The number flaw in any game
The number flaw in any game trailer is show cut scenes. Gamers don’t want to see cut scenes. In not only offends us, and turns us off to the game, but makes assume the game probably sucks because the developers are two afraid to show us the actual game play footage.
Star Wars already has a history of crap games where the developers sold out on the franchise.

Will I be able to make Darth
Will I be able to make Darth Vader dance gangnam style, cuz if Vader goes down in this game by my doing, I want his power, and if he is still alive, he’s doing it gangnam style until he drops dead. Payback is a bitch, especially if you take out my home world.
