Star Wars Battlefront: 10 Things That Need To Happen
7. Diverse Locales
There's no shortage of battlegrounds to cherry pick from the massive Star Wars universe. Likewise, there's no excuse for DICE's forthcoming Battlefront entry to succumb to the horrible Brown And Grey Syndrome with which so many modern shooters are afflicted. Architecture, vegetation, water, lighting, precipitation: countless qualities distinguish the likes of Tatooine, Hoth, Felucia and Kashyyk. Each map and planet is able to achieve a unique style and presence by manipulating these and more to their liking, by employing otherwise unorthodox positioning, verticality and atmosphere to stunning effect. That's head and shoulders above the dingy, monochromatic fields that you have to trudge through already.
A freelance games writer, you say? Typically battling his current RPG addiction and ceaseless perfectionism? A fan of horror but too big a sissy to play for more than a couple of hours? Spends far too much time on JRPGs and gets way too angry with card games?
Well that doesn't sound anything like me.
