Try hating 'Star Wars Battlefront' now that you've seen it

Star Wars Battlefront invades PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4 on November 17th with large-scale multiplayer gameplay and a lot of classic series trimmings. We're talking lightsabers, X-Wings, AT-STs and more. You can see a lot of those in the gameplay video below, in a battle inspired by the Hoth sequence from The Empire Strikes Back, captured on PlayStation 4. It's pre-alpha gameplay (meaning incredibly early), but it looks bombastic with a sense of scale I haven't seen in a Star Wars game to date. The AT-AT feels like a monstrous, multi-story death contraption that could kill you underfoot if you walk too close to it.

Oh, and you can pilot one. The gameplay demo switches between Empire and Rebel forces and shows off the danger of controlling these: a snowspeeder tripping you with its tow cable. I don't want to spoil the end for you, but a familiar man in black makes an appearance. Good luck waiting until November 17th.
