The New Star Wars Battlefront Looks Like The Greatest Video Game Of All Time

Eighteen planets, fourteen heroes and villains, thirty-nine vehicles, a one excited nerd. That’s what this trailer gives us. You can get down on the prequels all you’d like, but you can’t deny the top notch worldbuilding that has made for so many exciting “Instant Action” games in the past, and that’s coming to Battlefront 2…2. Kamino, Naboo, Coruscant, Geonosis, Kashyyyk, Mustafar, and Utapau are all such sick places for battle, most of them (dare I say) better than most OT locations for video games purposes. Is this due to the fact that they were basically video game levels in those flicks? Maybe, but the past is the past and I’m not here to dwell on the CGI improvements those three films could’ve saw. I’m here to do two things. Demolish everyone in the world as Kylo Ren and chew bubblegum…and I’m all outta bubblegum.

Everyone is in agreement with Battlefront II, it seems, that this is the game we should’ve gotten a few years ago. Story mode, everything spanning all three era of the Wars, all of it. It’s got everything everyone ever wanted, and Clem and I are gonna play the FUCK out of it on Barstool Gametime when it drops. Might even have to go back to my roots, hitting up the midnight release at GameStop and having Mountain Dew/Doritos on deck at home, playing through the night.
