Star Wars™ Battlefront™ Skywalker Hero | Graveyard of Giants

(see below for video link)
Are you curious to know what it's like to be Luke Skywalker? Have you ever wanted to fight amidst the wreckage of Imperial Starships and AT-AT Walkers on the surface of the debris strewn deserts of Jakku? Then sit back and enjoy this three and a half minute uncut hero run from the widely popular Star Wars™ Battlefront™.

The "Graveyard of Giants" map on which this video was captured represents the setting of the Battle of Jakku. This infamous battle was reported to have occurred one year and four days after the Battle of Endor and was waged between the forces of the New Republic and the Galactic Empire.

Although the Rebels were victorious, Luke Skywalker payed the ultimate price and was killed by debris which fell from a destroyed AT-AT at the bitter end of the battle. Wait! What?! This must be footage from one of those J.J. Abrams alternate universes! It's just a game. It doesn't have to make sense. :-)

Star Wars™ Battlefront™ Drop Zone - Ice Caves - Full Uncut Match!

(see below for video link)
Please enjoy this fully unedited and uncut match of Drop Zone on the Star Wars™ Battlefront™ Ice Caves map!

Drop Zone has probably been my favorite game mode on Battlefront. It is almost certainly the one that I have played most often. For me, this mode brings out the most intense close-up and in-your-face action! I get my highest scores and greatest win ratios on Drop Zone.

Next to Drop Zone, I'd have to pick Walker Assault for those times when I feel like playing on a large map with full sized teams and access to powerful vehicles. I'll be posting some Walker Assault gameplay in upcoming videos.

This video was posted so that others may get a chance to take a closer look at Star Wars™ Battlefront™ on the PlayStation 4.

It should be noted that while these games are played at full 1080p on the PS4, the built in SHAREfactory tool only records games at 720p. YouTube will further compress the video to increase streaming efficiency. All of this tends to degrade the visual experience.

Even though the compressed 720p image stream is still very good on small screens, it simply does not do justice to the visual quality of this game when viewed on larger, full HD screens.

When played on an UltraHD 4K television, this game is truly stunning (the PS4's 1080p gets upscaled on my Samsung TV). EA and Lucas Arts truly worked their endless magic into this release. It has been one of the most enjoyable games I've ever played on a console!

Something to notice is the accumulation of snow and ice that build up on my Shadow Trooper's black uniform. It starts clean on each respawn but gradually builds up a snow pack in a fashion that depends upon what is happening in the game. If the player stays alive long enough, the snow and ice will slowly melt away. This is an example of the awesome attention to detail provided by the developers. Gotta love it!

So, if you are curious as to what a full match of Drop Zone is like then sit back and enjoy the next 10 minutes of gameplay.

I am especially fond of the firefight which takes place from about 0:50 to 1:05. Watch my character slide down the backside of a glacier and still take out the enemy!
