Star Wars Battlefront: 10 Tiny Details Hardcore Fans Will Love

10. Skywalker Sound Making Its Presence Known

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yjqqwZGNHPg Although tiresome by the time the third developer diary rolled around, DICE's diligence when it came to adapting a universe treasured by so many has certainly shown its worth, as their much-celebrated access to Skywalker Sound has really cranked Battlefront's level of immersion all the way up to 11. X-Wings, TIE-Fighters, lightsabers, blasters and much more all sound indistinguishable from their on-screen counterparts, which is a testament to the level of quality that DICE have managed to achieve with their sound work. The slow lumbering movements of Imperial Walkers appear increasingly more ominous when their stomps echo across the map area, and the screeching of TIEs buzzing overhead are equally sinister too. It's an element more often overlooked than admired in a fair amount of games, but the developers' much appreciated experience with their Battlefield series has probably done a lot to help make Battlefront sound as good as it does today.
Content Producer/Presenter

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.
