GamesCom 2009 Interview: Star Wars Battlefront: Elite Squadron.

6 Comments Posted August 27, 2009 - By Stephen Johnson

At GamesCom 2009, G4 caught up with Chris Cook from LucasArts, and he showed us around upcoming PSP and DS title Star Wars Battlefront: Elite Squadron. This handheld edition of the popular series brings gamers right back to the Star Wars Universe, and it's on the DS for the first time ever! Along with showing off the game,

Cook explained how Elite Squadron fits into the progression of the series:

"The first game was all about letting players take part in the epic battles from the Star Wars movies, like Hoth and Endor... Battlefront 2 added space combat, so some levels had you flying around in a tie fighter or X-wing... For Renegade Squadron, we added customization. For Elite Squadron we’re taking all of those ideas from the first games and blowing them out like never before. It’s the biggest Battlefront game we’ve ever made, and Elite Squadron offers some really cool new features we're really excited about."

Check out the video below, and let us know what you think.

Sweet! I love Star Wars, and I need a good multiplayer game for the PSP. It's perfect!

Some pretty cool ideas. Integrating the whole space and ground battle is a cool idea, I've always like that. They did it a bit with Battlefront 2, and I saw it a bit along those same lines in battlefield 1943 with the air and sea battles as well. I'd like to see something on a bit of a bigger scale, that could be a cool idea if done right. I just wouldn't be able to see myself getting into multiplayer on a portable system. I'd take a look at this game on the consoles, but I'm not the portable gamer I used to be. As for the clone trooper with force powers thing, could be a cool story line but Battlefront has never really been a game about storylines. 2 was a bit, but you play battlefront for it's gameplay.
