Watch New Star Wars Battlefront PS4 Trailer

PlayStation has unveiled a new live-action trailer for the upcoming Star Wars Battlefront on its YouTube channel. The video features a battle taking place on Hoth, with TIE Fighters and AT-AT walkers making appearances. While the trailer does have a disclaimer stating that the footage shown is "not actual gameplay," there are some neat special effects employed, as well as a throwback to long-time loyal Star Wars fans. You can watch the video below.

Publisher EA recently announced that Star Wars Battlefront will be getting four expansion packs that players can purchase via the game's $50 DLC pass. The announcement came with news that three new multiplayer modes will be introduced in Star Wars Battlefront; Hero Hunt, Droid Run, and Cargo. If you wish to jump into online multiplayer though, be prepared to use an external chat program to communicate with friends, as the game will not offer native in-game chat.

Star Wars Battlefront is being developed for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. It is scheduled for release on November 17 in North America, and November 19 in Australia and Europe. Developer DICE has confirmed that the game will not have support for private matches at launch, although it has not completely ruled out implementing the feature in future.

The Star Wars Battlefront beta only runs at 720p on Xbox One, 900p on PS4

Star Wars Battlefront is going to be a big deal. This long-awaited follow up to the PS2-era franchise is set to launch within a month of Star Wars Episode VII, and the nostalgia alone will inevitably propel the sales sky high. Over the last couple of days, EA has been running a beta test of across the PS4, Xbox One, and PC, and I’ve been watching it closely.

Now that the public has had an opportunity to see first-hand what DICE has been working on, let’s examine how this beta holds up from a technical perspective. Of course, the final release may be significantly different, so take everything here with a grain of salt.

Let’s start off with the bad news: the PS4 version is only running at 1600×900. It’s definitely disappointing, but as you can see above, the end result still looks fairly solid. The visual fidelity is roughly on-par with the “high” settings on the PC build, but the pop-in is substantially more noticeable on the PS4.

While the game still can’t quite maintain a solid 60fps frame rate in some areas, there is hope. The dips are smaller than we’ve seen in previous builds, and it’s not unusual for developers to be optimizing performance right up until release day — sometimes months after release as well.

Weirdly, the split-screen multiplayer actually halves the target frame rate to 30fps, and renders two views at 1920×540 (making a complete 1080p picture). After spending so much time enjoying Metal Gear Solid V at 60fps, I’m a bit spoiled. I think I’ll pass on this mode all together.

If you want a better look at how the game holds up on a small map, check out this extended footage I captured directly from the PS4. Just make sure to crank the quality setting to “1080p60″ on YouTube for the best results.
