Star Wars Battlefront: 10 Tiny Details Hardcore Fans Will Love
3. Level Design Ripped Straight From The Film Sets
This is as much a boon to Battlefront's quality as it is a negative, but just how amazing is it to see Echo Base brought to life in its entirety once again? Players wishing to explore the arena will only get a small timeframe to do so, but everything from the hangar to the intersecting tunnels rocking from the AT-AT's advance look immaculate - DICE really have been doing their research. It's a little irritating how players don't get the opportunity to see the base in its entirety (the command centre is absent and the hangar is the only open area found within the location), but everything is where it should be and the reboot's interpretation of the locale is a more than worthy successor to Pandemic's former level design.
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.
