Star Wars Battlefront: 10 Things We Can't Wait To See
2. Returning Game Modes
Arguably the best thing about the original Battlefront titles was their variety of game modes in particular the ability to hop instantly into your own choice of maps through Instant Action with a buddy was just a brilliant thing to do something hard to come by in many other titles today. Whilst couch co-op probably wont be making an appearance in the reboot, Galactic Conquest, Hunt, and Instant Action are all fan favourites of old that deserve an inclusion of some sort. Hunt (a bonus to players who bought Battlefronts sequel) was an enjoyable little distraction that involved taking on the role of a planets local indigenous creatures and pitted them against each other or one of the regular factions from the games core mode. It really goes without saying that shocking Tusken Raiders as a Jawa is just as fun as it sounds, and who could forget the spear-throwing Ewoks either? With a fanbase as passionate as Battlefronts, itd be a serious misstep by DICE to do away with some of the modes that helped make the series such a hit in the first place. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZK5R23yDH0
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.
