Watch Five Minutes of Leaked Off-Screen Star Wars Battlefront Fighter Squadron Gameplay

Now, if you didn’t like the prepared baked footage DICE showed on stage, then lucky for you that someone at gamescom just snagged over five minutes of off-screen Star Wars Battlefront Fighter Squadron gameplay — and yes, it’s being played on a PlayStation 4.

Looks weird

[venom06]

Sadly, folks are gonna jump on and be all negative cause you watching some random person play an immersive game with no sound....the immersion and feel on the game is what make it fun.... Hell, you put a video of Battlefield or CoD with no sound and it would be a bad representation of the overall experience... Don't judge anything but the visuals from this video..

[Erik7357]

To me the spaceships look to floaty and have weird movement to them...

[sinjonezp]

I have to agree with above. The x-wing movement looked very weird . It's like the screen has this focal point n the fighter moves in space around it. The visuals look incredible but I hope the sense of flight is tweaked substantially. I can't wait for this game so it's not hate, it's observation.

[nveenio]

The flight looks very similar to what's in the films, if you ask me. My biggest issue was flying through a big floating marker to repair your ship. I feel like you should have to land and take off again in order to get fixed up. But I imagine that's really not possible with how this is set up.

[Aery]

Can't wait for this game.

The matches will be epic !!!

[jb227]

I'm guessing all of the people who said the flight looks weird have never paid attention to a Star Wars film. In this regard the flight may be the most faithful to the films aspect from the game so far....looks just like a dogfight from the flicks to me.

Where have your imagination gone? These spaceships does not feel like current day fighter jets (I played in games)...

I have even seen people complaining about them having auto aim.

This does not logically match up!

Shouldn't future spaceships have auto aim when current day Swedish (like DICE) fighter jets have it?

"The internally mounted 27mm Mauser high-energy gun can operate in an automatic radar-guided aiming mode."

Who knows what properties a space capable fighter would have!

* Pick your favorite game ever, and let a bad person play it, with no sound, and tell me how good the game looks then.

Dat 30 second ad

[Palitera]

Looks fantastic!

[SuperbVillain]

what killstreak is that

[Syakinta]

They just replaced modern aircraft with starfighter?

[Tonykid]

and?

[Visualift]

They just replaced everything and replaced it with the Star Wars universe.... no biggie — such lazy developers. #sarcasm

[Peace_Love_and_FPS]

All these people saying it looks so floaty, well duuuuh you ever seen one fly in the movies?? The movement looks IDENTICAL. Also, no its not a copy paste, you have much more advanced mechanics than thrust and movement and the fighters have shields/more speed which can be used in moderation as well as a power system where you can either increase speed or increase the auto aim that was NOT there in BF4 meaning you actually have to fool your opponent not just randomly turn.

Handles nothing like a f****** modern day fighter, watch the video FFS

@Visualrift

Thank you for being reasonable

[Scatpants]

They replaced tetris blocks with spaceships, now it's completely different from Tetris.

[dreadz74]

excellent graphics wow real life. the player sucked though lol

[Kavorklestein]

I'm sure you've played it SO many times and you're SO much better...

Gfx were top notch tho. The clouds/smog looked so real. Looks great, and I'm sure it's super fun.

MOTHER OF YODA!!

[zeddy]

too many good games coming out in November. i know its an Xmas thing but they spread it out a little?

[abstractel]

I feel the latter half of this year is very light on games. 2016 looks to be overloaded. Especially if you don't have an Xbox One, but I feel even the Xbox One line up is overhyped. A Remaster, Halo, Rise of Tomb Raider and Forza. That's the best lineup in Xbox history? I'm tempted to get an XB1 for Halo because there hasn't been a Halo game I haven't played (only one I didn't finish was ODST). I'd rather play Tomb Raider on PC, but if I feel there aren't enough games I'll get Tomb Raider (assuming I get an XB1 for Halo).

Now 2016 Quantum Break is the game that will 100% sell me on an XB1. That game looks fantastic. Gears of War 4 as well even though the dialogue was dumb.. So there will be a time when I will buy an XB1, but that note aside, I don't feel there are too many games this year XB1 included or not.

[Scatpants]

I'm over Gears of War at least from the perspective of caring about any characters or anything that happens in the story. Multiplayer is still first rate though.

[Brooklynbully123]

Boring

[wakeNbake]

I dont know whether I should get this on PS4 or PC.

[falviousuk]

I know what you mean, I haven't decided on getting the xbox one or PC version yet.

[Peace_Love_and_FPS]

If it's in a booth its PC almost every time.

[jmc8888]

Usually it comes down to a few things.

1. Do you want to play multiplayer with a controller or m+kb?
2. Do you have a PC that can play it at a PS4 level? Above? Or is it low end where the PS4 can play it at higher settings/fps?
3. Friends?
4. Price? Can usually find it cheaper on PC, even for preorders. Like how on CDKeys you can get Mad Max for ~$23, on G2A weekly sale ~$29, and via the VIP section of Greenman you can get it for $35. So lots of times you can get preorders or recently released games for much cheaper.

Controller wins it for me, but I'll probably double dip when it's cheap and try the upcoming steam controller with it, my GTX 970 should be able to rock this game, but performance on Frostbite engine games are pretty good on PS4...though not 1080p/90-120 on ultra, and this game seems like it's going to have some great visuals on PC. There definitely is a visual difference on BF4, Hardline, even PvZ:Garden Warfare on PC over PS4, but PS4 does a good job too.

Really wondering how Steam controller changes things with FPS, but that won't be arriving until Nov 10 or so.

[falviousuk]

Same goes for the Xbox One version

[Vegamyster]

Well i guess that depends on two things, how good is your PC and where are your buddies playing it.

[headblackman]

you should get it and play it on a microsoft windows operated pc. why settle for less with a ps4 when you can have the most power? now if you say anything to negate that we'll all know what your question was designed to do.

[bryank75]

Cause some people don't like to use things made by anti-consumerist and anti-competitive companies who run a monopoly and had to be brought in front of a federal board to break them up... MS are scum.

[abstractel]

Not everyone has the cash to keep up in the PC game. I'm lucky in that I do, and I will get multiplatform games on PC 99% of the time, but people pretending like PC gaming is cheap are kidding themselves. Plus not everyone likes to fiddle with settings to get the right experience for them. I don't mind, but I know lots of casual hardcore gamers (you read that right) that want to play most games out there on their TV without worrying about all the rest.

The thing is also, in a multiplayer game, if you play on a gamepad you are almost certainly going to be at a disadvantage even though it's your preferred control method. I wish they had lobbies from people using gamepads (if they could stop M+K players from cheating their way in).

[DerekFlint007]

I hope we get the option to remove the gargantuan, yellow coloured immersion destroying, ghastly hud.

[Peace_Love_and_FPS]

You can on BF4 so yes, if you're on PC you can even scale it (not sure about consoles though, I have it for PS4 but never checked)

[DerekFlint007]

Cheers, thank-you for reply.

[Eonjay]

This looks excellent

[boodi]

HOLY SHIT Terminal Velocity which is a 10years ago game feels better then this ..

[Ipunchbabiesforfun]

you can feel through videos? impressive.

[boodi]

tnx

[windblowsagain]

Leaked, rofl.

Aint fking leaked. It's a gameshow. OMFG.

[A7XEric]

Come on DICE. Just rip off Rogue Squadron for the flight gameplay. It's what everyone wants for that portion of the game.

[iistuii]

Not for me. Seen plenty of vids on it & its just a mod of Battlefield where they replace all the Battlefield stuff with Star Wars. Conquest is the same instead of flags its coms to capture, but it's just the same. Just like Hardline seems like a mod, so does this.

[DEAGLETURK]

Fail of the year in coming

[corroios]

So cooolllll. I just want to play it!!!!

[bryank75]

That looks freekin incredible.... can't wait to play this, the diversity will stand to it and give some longevity. Will be so bad ass to be Darth Vader and just massacre everyone on the "Battlefront".

[ToonarmY]

Looks crap

[BRINGSOCOMBACK]

Graphically it looks amazing but what does the gameplay boil down to? Feels generic...

[MAULxx]

As nice looking as this is I think I'd rather play Disney Infinity SW. Looks more fun than BF Star Wars. Online battles! Whoopty dooo!
This "looks" like it'll get boring after the first session.
