I have. And there are no multiplayer bots in Battlefront 3. Battlefront 2 offered that.
Yes, splitscreen is confirmed.

I don't think it would be that far off even if it was bullshotted.
Doesn't look that different from The Forest, which was developed by 4 guys.
I... I honestly don't know. Probably couldn't say either, but I'm a 1P player myself, so don't know all the nitty gritty details of our 3P view

You can't play the multiplayer modes in splitscreen. It's limited to small missions they made.

There was very little development in that development diary.
50% was rehashed from the E3 2014 video
30% was footage from the trailer we just saw
Shots of developers actually doing development are use the same rotating 'light stage' previews superimposed over monitors again.
But we saw a 1st+3rd person screenshot, and x wing, some environment shots, so EA thinks it's all good.

Now this is a dev diary.

One 290x should perform between 2 and 3x the ps4.
That's a bit reactionary. I obviously am talking about the camera. Actually a better example would probably how Ratchet & Clank Future is handled. That is pretty much a perfect 1:1 mapping of what I would want to see in Battlefront.
The way I see this going, the camera will be slightly offset from the players back. You can't shoot unless you ADS and that will then directly place the camera over the shoulder.

Are there iron sights at all in first person [not scoped, ie holo / acog / reflex / red dot], and will there be a hardcore mode? Thats all I really need to know. Moneys already spent.

It's all well and nice that you went to the original filming locations of Tatooine, Hoth and Endor, but did you need to do that to get a feel for Hoth for example. I'm so disappointed we won't get to play with our other favourite Star Wars locations, like Dagobah, Bespin, Yavin, the Death Star or the Rebel Blockade Runner. Instead we just get Iceland and a second Tatooine as free DLC.
We don't know for sure if battlefront will look 100% like that, but MGS5 is a first gen ps4/xb1 game, and cross gen, which might limit how much they can push the newer hardware. and we don't know how U4 will end up looking, they still have a year to work on it.

So all you do in battlefont games is shooting at other players? What did darth vader do in the trailer then?

In Battlefront 2, depending on which side you were one player could become a famous Jedi or a Sith in battle.
Yeah, physically based rendering together with photogrammetry is going to be quite the one-two punch. Along with the lighting and other strengths of the Frostbite engine.

Heroes are back. You can take control of Vader or Boba Fett (only ones confirmed ATM) at some point in the game, but they didn't reveal how it will work just yet.

It's clearly two different characters in the scenario shown in that image.
