This product is like new. At NexWave Games, like new means:
Additionally, all discs at NexWave Games are carefully inspected and assessed for quality. When discs arrive, we do not accept any that are so badly damaged that they are unlikely to work. We only accept discs with light scratches at most. Discs with scratches are then treated in our professional disc repair machine. By warming the disc and polishing it with soft brushes, these machines can remove a very thin layer from the disc. This removes the layer containing surface scratches and improves the disc’s readability. This ensures the disc works properly, even on consoles with ageing lasers that have difficulty reading games! Great news for the player.
Star Wars Battlefront for PlayStation 4
Star Wars Battlefront for PlayStation 4 is the team-based shooter from 2004 that places you as a soldier in the middle of a large battle. You choose the Republic, Separatists, Rebels or Empire and try to capture important command posts. These give your army control of the terrain and places to respawn. On maps such as Hoth and Endor, open ground, cover and access routes determine how best to approach the enemy.
Different soldier classes have their own weapons and duties. A sniper guards a distant route, while another unit is better at taking on vehicles. You can also man a turret or enter a ground or air vehicle. A battle therefore changes when someone blocks an important passage with heavy equipment. Simply defeating enemies is not enough: an unguarded command post can change hands behind your back.
Play individual battles, follow the historical campaigns or conquer planets in Galactic Conquest. Against computer-controlled armies you can play alone, cooperate with another player in split screen or fight each other. Each player then needs a DualShock 2 controller. The original PlayStation 4 network service is not promised to work. This is neither the 2015 DICE game nor the later Battlefront Classic Collection.
Region and language
Our PlayStation 4 games are PAL editions and come with a Dutch or English box, unless stated otherwise. By default, you receive the version for the European market. We note it in the product details if the region is different or the box is in another language. In almost all cases, the game is playable at least in English, and often in the other five common European languages too.
Manual
Star Wars Battlefront for PlayStation 4 was originally released without a printed manual. This edition therefore does not come with a separate instruction booklet. Its absence does not mean that an item from the original packaging is missing.
Instructions for the controls and rules are provided in the game. Any additional leaflets or advertising inserts are not manuals and are only included if stated in the product details. We use the label “No Manual” for copies missing a manual that was originally supplied. You should therefore not expect a printed booklet with this game unless a special edition explicitly states otherwise.
The history of Star Wars Battlefront
Pandemic Studios developed Star Wars Battlefront and LucasArts released it in September 2004 for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 4 and PC. Its release was tied to the original film trilogy's DVD release. Rather than following one famous Jedi through a fixed storyline, the idea was to make the player an ordinary participant in a battle. Armies from both the classic and prequel eras offered different sides of that conflict.
Command posts, reinforcements and vehicles gave battles a shared structure. Your soldier could fall while the fight for territory continued. Choosing another class or respawning elsewhere therefore became tactical choices. Galactic Conquest linked individual battles to a struggle for planets. The PlayStation 4 version added local participation for two players on one split screen, alongside the network options available at the time.
Battlefront received a sequel in 2005, while other developers reused the name much later. The title alone therefore does not identify the version. This original PlayStation 4 disc contains Pandemic's first Battlefront, not the added heroes, space battles or collection content of later releases. Discontinued network facilities belong to the product's history; local battles and play against the computer are the basis described here.
