Star Wars: Battlefront - 10 Shocking Moments From The E3 Demo
4. Greater Weapon Variety
One of the best things about Battlefront's E3 demo was the variety of weaponry on offer to players. Everything from blaster pistols to carbines, to even rockets and heavy blasters were shown off - with each one looking extremely authentic in their own unique way. The amount of detail packed onto these models is truly outstanding, and each blaster shot looks and sounds every bit as different and as iconic as their onscreen counterparts do. The Imperial blasters in particular sounded perfectly ripped from the films, and just adds that little bit extra of immersion to keep players embedded in this fantastical world that has won over so many in its almost 40 years of existence. EA haven't shown off every piece of weaponry yet, but expect each one to be ripped straight from Star Wars lore.
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.
