DICE on Star Wars: Battlefront's Destruction System

Star Wars: Battlefront will have just the right amount of destruction.

In a new interview with Engadget, DICE general manager Patrick Bach spoke about the destruction system for the developer's upcoming Star Wars: Battlefront shooter. Bach argued that even though destruction has been a hallmark of the developer's Battlefield games, Battlefront will be different.

"Star Wars, as an [intellectual property], is shaping what we're doing," he said. "So we won't do excessive destruction just because we can. It's more about 'what do you need and what you want' in a Battlefieldgame versus a Battlefrontgame."

Bach went on to say that massive destruction wouldn't be very faithful to the Star Wars franchise's tastes.

"We're using destruction where it make sense but also working to create something that is authentic to the universe," reads a recent tweet from the official Star Wars: Battlefront Twitter account on the subject.

Battlefront is scheduled for launch on November 17 for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC.
