Star Wars Battlefront looks unbelievably amazing in action

EA predictably signed off its E3 2015 press conference with Star Wars Battlefront, complete with five minutes of unbelievably brilliant mutiplayer gameplay.

This is the Battle of Hoth from the Empire Strikes Back, but in the game you can play from either side and the outcome can be very different to that of the film. In the gameplay trailer we see the battle through the eyes of both Empire and Alliance players, and from various points of view – infantry, AT-AT, snowspeeder and even, at the end, Luke Skywalker.

It looks incredible (and is captured from PS4 – not bonkers PC), but just as impressive is the authenticity of the sound. But don’t just take my word for it – check out the trailer for yourself below.
