DICE presumably gave lots of warnings to players taking part in the Star Wars: Battlefront closed Alpha that they were not to film and release any footage from their time with the game, under penalty of death by Stormtrooper firing squad.
Thus, inevitably, loads of new gameplay footage has emerged. All Games Beta has scraped together several clips of testers blasting each other to pieces on the game’s Tatooine and Hoth maps. It’s a nice opportunity to see what the game actually looks like in action, when it’s not being edited to within an inch of its life.
And it looks pretty damned solid, thankfully. Visuals are crisp, gameplay looks fun, and it all reeks of classic Star Wars. The game’s September 20 release date seems a long way away right now.
