Who Thinks Star Wars: Battlefront 3 is Dead? I don’t…
Well for the last couple weeks, it’s been all quite on the western battlefront.. ever since that interview with LucasArts president via Gametrailers, it seemed to silence everything that has been going on with Battlefront 3 over the last few months.. which of course were just rumors as far as most people are concerned.
This brings me to the question… is Battlefront 3 really dead? To be honest.. who knows, there are so many rumors flying around, no one has any idea what to believe. I believe that right at the moment, the game is on hold for now but I do think that it will be developed some day. I still believe they would be very silly not to release a next generation Battlefront.
So give me your opinion.. is Battlefront 3 dead?
Here’s what IGN.com thinks about the subject.
“The death of Star Wars Battlefront III alongside its developer Free Radical at the beginning of 2009 was painful to watch. We’d seen the impressive leaked video (since pulled) of what appeared to be an alpha build of the game. We’d heard from trustworthy sources that the game was nearly complete. And then, like a TIE fighter nailed by a proton torpedo, Free Radical went into a tailspin, eventually crashing and burning. Just like shooting womp rats, eh LucasArts? In an in-depth interview with a former Free Radical employee , we learned that Battlefront III is dead and gone, along with some impressive tech that was apparently rivaled only by that of Free Radical’s other project, Timesplitters 4 (see its status below). The rumor was that Pandemic (now part of EA) picked up the rights. If so, they’re not talking. If ever a game deserved the status ‘flatlined,’ this is it. May the Force be with you, Battlefront III.“

The original project is too good. It can’t be trashed and it can’t be rushed. The least we need is a Developer who will take it on and I think this is the problem. Aborting the Technology is something you don’t want to do with this kind of project but the majority of Developers don’t sound like they will risk it. The problem is Free Radical were equipped so why not let those who went to Crytek finish it? Maybe they are teaching Crytek the technology and then they may announce this and Timesplitters 4 when they’re ready?
I really hope that they make this game because i will buy it the second its on the shelves, and i cant even imagine them not continuing what i think to be the best star wars game franchise. although i am content with playing bf2 cause its awesome anyways, i want more! More! MORE!
i hope this comes out any time now to march i expect to see it soon anyway just to know its coming out for sure would be awesome , i have a friend from England and he sounds like a clone trooper hahaha be fun to play this game on our ps3s haha. oh man i cant wait for this its one of the reasons i got a next gen console so it has to come out why did they release a shitty republic hero’s game and not SWBF3, George needs to stop playing 007 with all his secrets and release the game already!!! i can see why his secrets are so well kept who wouldn’t be afraid of the man lol imagine him yelling at you…. haha
BF3 better come out because the BF2 kicked ass. i heard that there would be diffrent terrain and worlds.
P.S. my online name is Darth Bane
there’s something a little too suspicious about all the secrecy and rumors circulating around battlefront 3. IF it does exist, perhaps there is something special about it, something never before seen in any other battlefront game, which is the cause for all the confusion and hush-hush going on…
It would be the biggest mistake lucas arts would ever make if they did not make BF3. I have been waiting a long time for the game. I don’t mind waiting as long as BF3 turns out to be freaking awesome.But I do hope they will release it soon.
P.S. When BF3 comes out look for me on online play my online name will be Darth Kaszer.
They have to.
BF2 didn’t even take full control of the orginial xbox’s power, imagine what a BF3 will look like on a 360…. :O
Who wants dual weapons?
I agree, they would be crazy not to put out a BF3. I think the “on hold” idea is on track. They have just put out a couple of new titles and dont want to spoil their sales. I also agree with the take all the time they need to make it right. As long as I get to fly up through the atmosphere and then blast people on the ground with a turbo laser, I’ll be happy.
I’m about 100% positive that it is not dead. Like you said I just don’t have the slightest idea where it is at right now, whether LucasArts decided to start all over with making the game via a new developer, whether they found a new developer and are using what Free Radical did to finish the rest of the game, or if it is just completely on hold right now, not being developed by anybody. Still have to play the waiting game I guess… something we’ve been doing for just under 4 years now. SWBF2′s fourth birthday is coming up in just over a month, since then we’ve seen 2 handheld Battlefront announcements but no console or pc.. disappointing.
I think that battle front
3 also is on hold, but will be released.
So there is still hope, but no one is certain.
If anything,they can take as long as they
want,as long as it will be released besides,
it will take time for a game with advanced
features such as the space to ground feature.
They can take as long as they want as long
as I can get an awesome copy of battle front 3,
I’m game.
