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.“

I also all the time thought that most likely Battlefront III is on hold. After the announcement of Elite Squadron, I understood that we might not see Battlefront III still for a long long time. It’s clearly that Elite Squadron is Battlefront III’s PSP and DS versions only with different title. Why to delay that what is going on perfectly? LucasArts didn’t knew how long it would require them to finish BF3, that’s why they decided to release PSP and DS versions. And since PSP and DS Elite Squadron is going to have the same missions and storyline as BF3 was scheduled to have, then it might mean that BF3 is now re-built from ground up. But I do believe that we will see announcement of Battlefront III some day, because it’s one of the biggest grossing Star Wars games ever. It would be very very stupid if LucasArts wouldn’t. My bet is that it will be announced some time until or at E3 2010. Maybe Elite Squadron will announce Battlefront III, who knows. Renegade Squadron back in 2007 announced The Force Unleashed. So there is still hope.
Battlefront 3 is dead..the ‘battle front’ is going to be enclueded in biowares upcoming swtor mmo.
I think JD is right battlefront 3 will certainly surface with a starwars movie release and there has been some talk that george lucas is re releasing the starwars saga in HD 3d similiar to james camerons avatar.witch i think will be amazing especially after seeing the trailer for avatar in 3d myself.
Looks to me like battlefront 3 will be releasing in 3d also like avatar the game amazing.its definetly not dead .
And its more than likely we could be hearing the future title of this game as starwars Battlefront 3D.
Fingers crossed.
False Hope? http://www2b.abc.net.au/tmb/Client/Message.aspx?b=59&m=276517&dm=1&pd=2&am=276524 – Claims that SWBF3 have been confirmed – however I think someone has their wires crossed… maybe not.
Enough is enough, this bulls#_t has been going on for a long time now and Lucas arts don’t even have the curtouisy to tell it’s fans what is happening with the next gen battlefront title. We need to hear it from the horses mouth weather we are getting our next gen battlefront by December 2009. If we have not heard anything by then we need to start a partission and vow never to by a Lucas arts game again. They can stick lucudity up their big fat arse.
I totally agree with what you are talking about. There have been so many rumors going around and frankly im sick of them. Do i want a battlefront 3 game to come out? HELZ YEAH I DO!! but lets get real. rumors are rumors. Lucas arts has so many loyal fans who absolutely love the battle front series. But your right, they could at least have the curtouisy to give us a yes or no awnser. There are literally no reasons for not making this game. 1. You can make everybody on the planet happy.
2. They can make so much money its not even funny.
like im talkin biggest game of the year or even decade cause everyuthing that has came out is CRAP!!!
but seriously i think we should do something to let them know we are serious.
as long as they make it anywhere near as good as the others than i will get it hopefully it would be way better
I can’t wait for it to come out either. I’m sure it will have advanced features, but the ground to space thing is gone. Free Radical said that died with them.
The main series of Battlefront has always been released with a Star Wars movie release. So my guess is that we will have to wait for the saga to come out on blu ray.
Maybe it is still being made but they are incorporating the ps3 motion sensing and the xbox natal instead of having to patch them later on! Imagine online lightsaber fights with motion sensing that would be AMAZING!
I think the fact that there has been no flat out denial not official statement that the game has been cancelled is very telling. With all the rumours flying about, you would think that Lucas Games would like them to stop if the games truely was dead.
As far as I am concerned, it ain’t dead ’till the boss says it is. Or to put it another way, the Fat Lady hasn’t sung yet.
For those with face book, I have a group that has been running for while… http://www.facebook.com/Labrug#/group.php?gid=39831650751 – Drop by and let us know what you thinks.
Lastly, I would like to thank the guys behind this site. It has been great to see the support for SWBF3 and this site has been a brilliant read. Thanks for staying abreast of things.
