Sith sense
We've never been especially keen on the Darth Vader-themed Star Wars Battlefront PlayStation 4 console, but we must admit that it looks much better in the flesh.

Don't get cocky
Although we've gotten a beta and a couple of trailers, DICE has nevertheless been surprisingly low-key about showing gameplay of Star Wars Battlefront.
