Visceral’s Star Wars Han Solo Game: 9 Things You Need To Know
4. Frostbite 3 Is The Go-To Engine Again
No matter your thoughts on DICE's reboot of the Battlefront franchise, there's no doubt that it looks absolutely incredible. DICE's designers spent months painstakingly recreating the objects, planets and characters from the galaxy far, far away, which had the intended result of creating a Star Wars adaption unrivalled in its authenticity. Everything from the look to the sound is wondrous, which is why it's so good to hear that Visceral's game will be using the same engine as EA's first foray into the franchise. This pretty much guarantees that whatever Visceral are getting up to, it's at least going to look special. Graphics are by no means the most important aspect of a game, but their role in furthering immersion in respect to all things Star Wars can't be understated. Combined with rumours indicating that this will be an open world game as well, the mind boggles at what we could potentially be seeing by the time we actually get to see some gameplay.
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.
