Star Wars: Battlefront - 10 Shocking Moments From The E3 Demo
7. AT-ATs Are Playable
Conflicting with earlier reports from the reboot, AT-ATs really are playable and they look more fun than ever to mess around with - even if they crawl along at the pace of an over encumbered snail. Indeed, the Imperial Walker looks more intimidating than it ever did before - visibly making the ground shake as it inches closer towards the vulnerable shield generators of Echo Base. This also of course means that they will have to face the annoyance of Rebel Snowspeeders zipping in between their clunky legs - a pastime any Rebel ace will be all to familiar with by the time they get hands on with Battlefront's newly revamped flight controls. Those who get the chance to pilot these behemoths will be able to laugh with glee at the Rebels scurrying away beneath them - lest they aren't destroyed first by Echo Base's defences.
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
