DICE: Star Wars: Battlefront will run at 60fps across all three platforms, aims for photo-realism
According to McLeod, “We’re making sure, first and foremost, to ensure it runs at 60 frames per second on everything because that’s what delivers the best gameplay experience.” Alongside the game running at 60fps, it’s clear that graphical fidelity and photo-realism is high on the agenda for DICE.

Would be nice to see some actual gameplay rather than this cinematic shit.

Cheers for the news Spec .  A bit of a niche title though, can't see this being big.....  It does look really, really good .

[Saintsy]

All that and the forest isn't even a little bit on fire?
I call bullshit.

What bothers me more is the rock that grows slightly bigger at 1:28.

I'm trying to get my head around this game.
Is it just BF4 in a galaxy far, far away?

I'm thinking that is exactly what it is, don't underestimate the value of a new skin.

^Its a continuation of the StarWars Battlefront series, it has been almost 10 years since 2 released.
Its not called Battlefront 3 because they probably don't want any confusion with the Starwars Battlefront 3 that was in production but died and
Niklas Fegraeus @DICEfigge · Apr 17

It is both different and similar in many ways. This is why we have done a reboot instead of calling it Battlefront 3

Game will follow previous Starwars BattleFront games and offer both first and third person perspective.
Niklas Fegraeus @DICEfigge · Apr 17
When playing as a soldier, you can freely choose between 1st and 3rd person views whenever you want
Niklas Fegraeus @DICEfigge · Apr 17
Yes, it is a shooter (with both first and third person), and it will be out on PC as well as PS4 and XB1

Info on maps
Niklas Fegraeus @DICEfigge · Apr 17
We have 4 iconic planets & on those many maps to play on. We're going to take you places you've never been before.
Niklas Fegraeus @DICEfigge · Apr 17
There will be more maps than 8, and more than two per planet at launch.
Niklas Fegraeus @DICEfigge · Apr 17
We have varying map sizes, from large to small, to cater to different experiences and different modes

Spiltscreen is local play only, so no local splitscreen and online play.
Niklas Fegraeus @DICEfigge · Apr 17
Split-screen is for local play only, so it is for when you play Missions with a friend

So hopefully they'll actually do a fanfuckingtastic job making this.
Doubtful, but hopeful lol.

[Axe99]

You could even call it 'A New Hope'

Boom boom .  There was some talk on the interwebs I think I remember seeing with one of the devs talking about how they were trying to minimise DLC, but obviously take with grain of salt.
