Sony gets marketing rights for Star Wars: Battlefront

Extremely quick and smart move by Sony as they have acquired the marketing rights for Star Wars: Battlefront releasing this holiday season ( note the biggest movie of the holiday season will be Star Wars episode 7 )

You like Star Wars, finalstar?

Like? heh funny.... i LOVE Star Wars!

Battlefront on PS2 was mega fun

Do you like star wars, freedom?

Gotta have something to fill in that holiday drought.

Lol who fucking cares?

But the movies? You like those?

Obviously you do since you clicked, looked at the post AND posted.

Duh!

one does not simply like the games and not the movies... looking forward to it this December

eh, doesn't sway my purchase

@finalstar2007: Which is your favorite movie?

Does this mean BS exclusive DLC or whatever?

Now if they throw in Star Wars: The Force Awaken movie Tickets just for me to preorder PS4 version, I be down with this in a heartbeat cause them Tickets are gonna be hard to get, not to mention, Christmas day is gonna be a bitch.

All of them!

( you're getting a little off topic btw just sayin :P )

not possible

@Salt_The_Fries

@finalstar2007: Star Wars thread talking about Star Wars. No going off-topic here, son.

So, you like every single one equally? That's good. Few have that viewpoint, so good on you.

You as well as the millions who love Star Wars

Do you like the one where..

Luke travels back in time to get the ultimate Light Saber?

Those light sabers are really big if they are that size compared to the Death Star. Or all of it is really small compared to the PS4.

I'm confused. And this whole exclusive marketing thing that appears to be happening this gen is interesting.

Yeah, sure, make it easy on him by listing the best moment in Star Wars history. ****'s sake, Conan.

Are you serious bout the light saber comment? -__-

@finalstar2007: dumb logic is dumb. Also, you liked the prequels? Fucking gross

Good Game

microsoft its over man when ppl see commcercial there gonna some slick white darth vader ps4 and its gonna say PS4 the way to play star wars

im more hyped for battlefront than halo 5 so microsoft u didnt do anything ppl love star wars this game has been wanted for years halo 5 barely anone cares

pretty sure it happened last gen as well

@Douevenlift_bro: Xbone gets the game earlier. MS still wins. Salty cows are salty

You better be talking about the Star Wars Holiday Special

if you pay for stupid EA early access

It's good, but I always preferred the...

Showdown between Han Solo and Captain Picard. The 2nd one when the wormhole opens between Borg space and Sky City. Sooo epic!

Anyways, just wanted to check Finalstar on his fandom, seems like he doesn't know much after all. :(

Edit: Picard shot first btw.

... No comment.

...

Before I typed out my comment I was trying to think if it did last gen and I couldn't think of any examples. It probably did. The whole strategy is just more recently on my mind because it seems to be happening with Arkham Knight and now Battlefront.

Wow finalstar is the biggest sw fan ive seen! He even likes all the movies! Impressive

@ConanTheStoner: Have you seen the Parks and Rec clip where Patton Oswalt is filibustering so he outlines his idea for Episode 7 in which he draws the Marvel Universe into the Star Wars Universe?

@lostrib: Haha no, but that sounds awesome! Gonna watch it now.

@lostrib: how is that show? I remember watching like 2 episodes and thought it was too much like the office

Makes sense since SONY is trailblazing and leading this gen.

If Sony added some nice artwork on the PS4 i would have bought it for sure.

What's so stupid about it?

Many people i know seem to like it, but I have trouble getting through episodes so I haven't watched a whole lot of it. I've heard it's recommended to actually start at like the 2nd season

I like many of the secondary characters, but I Amy Poehler's character is kind of hard to watch

@ConanTheStoner: You liked that part? I kinda like the part where Admiral Ackbar told Han Solo that Leia was a trap. Isn't the reason why the Ackbar meme started in the first place?

I also liked the part when Revan learned he was a Sith and not just a Sith he was a Sith Lord and his partner the one that usually says meatbag when referring humans was actually his best robot invention. This part was so dramatic in the 4th movie, right?

Guess Sony offered more money.

I don't think Microsoft offered any money, too packed anyway for them

This is what I live for. News on exclusive marketing deals for multi platform games.

I think that was a smart move...this game looks like it will be a blockbuster. MS should have secured this along with the EA Access advantage. I think MS missed the boat on this one.

That is the only thing you can do when you have no games....................pretend exclusives are all yours, and market them that way.

Odd considering ps4 won't even have remotely the best version.

Now we get FUCKING BRAGGING RIGHTS OVER MARKETING RIGHTS.

And I thought timed exclusived indies were the NEW FUCKING LOW.

Times'a'changin.

It's a big dollar sign, not a game.

It'll probably be in 1080p and the Xbone version will be 900p as well.

I like that poster that's actually genious matching the death star, star destroyer and light sabers with the PS buttons.

@arkephonic: probably 900p on PS4

Let me guess, they're also paying to have content cut from other versions? #4thegamers
