Star Wars is a big deal. No matter what EA does with Battlefront, they will have fans buying Battlefront just to get another taste of the Star Wars universe. It looks like they’re actually doing some good work on the project, though, with the hype train going full steam ahead thanks to some social media excitement.
First up, if you like pretty pictures, you should probably follow the official Instagram account for EA Star Wars. Then you can see an even bigger, piecemeal version of the header image. Of course, there’s a whole lot more hype than just a picture cut into three pieces. Here are some DICE staffers showing how confident the team is in their upcoming gameplay reveal (thanks VG247):
I’m going to answer a question in advance: Yes, that is actually what the game looks like.

On the agenda next week: Break the Internet.

The destruction of the Internet: It will be as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in excitement. https://t.co/zmk1P9ANwD

And then, habtual industry insider, Tidux also made some pretty big claims about what he’d seen:
just can not believe what I have just seen #StarWarsBattlefront
— Tidux (@Tidux) April 13, 2015
Omfg, #StarWarsBattlefront gameplay is just ridiculous. the internet will frikkin break

Some of you may remember the “Amazing” phenomenon of E3 last year. Darryn and I had so many PR people using the word amazing when describing their games that it seemed to rub off on us a little in our Vlogs. I wonder if there was a conscious decision to go with “break the internet” as their hyping concept for Battlefront, or if someone said it and everyone else picked up on it and is using it on twitter. Either way, we didn’t need too much prodding to be excited for the gameplay reveal scheduled for this coming Friday night.

They can actually make a lot of money. Phase 1 Clonetrooper armour, different colour patterns, Phase 2 Clonetrooper Armour, all the different Stormtroopers……..
It is a goldmine I tell you.
I wonder if I should invest in some shares…..

This is going to be a DLC machine. I can’t wait to see how our friends at EA will approach it.

Sigh……I want to get hyped I seriously do….. But all I can think about is how much the season pass will cost on top of the game and how many microtransactions there will be for skins and what not….. and that spoils it for me even before Ive seen one screenshot 🙁

There’s just too many cool things they can exclude and add as DLC later on.

Tidux never said if it was good “amazing” or bad “amazing”.
I will wait without letting myself get hyped.
