Battlefront 3 Leaked Footage = Elite Squadron?
Well, Star Wars Battlefront: Elite Squadron has been released and there have been some pretty poor reviews on it. Personally, I didn’t really enjoy the DS version that much, and I had higher expectations of it but I have heard some more decent reviews of the PSP version.
On the other hand, a lot of people are saying that the leaked footage of Battlefront 3 that we got wind of earlier in the year, turns out to be leaked footage of Elite Squadron. Doh!.. now that’s a big ass bummer. Even if this is true (which I would say it is, because of the similarities between the game play and the leaked footage video) I believe that they are still going to be working on Battlefront 3 eventually, and this site will always be here to follow the latest news and rumors!
Anyway, have a look for yourselves and draw your own conclusions, I’d love to hear your opinions.
There are quite a few similarities, especially in the left radar and top bar.

and at 4:00 you can see X1 fighting his father falcon grey
It’s the same just look at the SWBF3 traialer at 2:43 and it shows the same maps Cato Nemio’s cradle sides.
Alright, there’s more to say still.

“The troubled development of Star Wars: Battlefront 3 has taken another interesting twist. After jumping from the sinking ship Free Radical to Rebellion, who are currently hard at work on Aliens vs. Predator 3, it has now been handed back into the hands of the developer of the first two installments – Pandemic”
gamesradar.com March 9:
“The fate of Star Wars Battlefront III remains unknown, because according to Mathew Everett, Community Manager for all games at Pandemic Studios, Battlefront III is not at Pandemic Studios:
‘As of right now I can say Battlefront 3 is not currently at Pandemic. While I know the title seems to be up in the air from all the buzz around the web… Lucas Arts will be the only one knowing where the title is at right now.’”
gamesradar May 11, 2009:
“Further, it’s possible that, even after all this, we may not end up seeing a next gen version at all. The targets set by Rebellion for the PS3/360 version are allegedly “impossible” to meet. LucasArts may go the way the did with the new Indiana Jones game, and just not produce a high def version.”
gamesradar, Aug 18, 2009:
“If you remember about seven months ago Free Radical closed their doors, and arround the same time someone leaked gameplay footage of Star Wars Battlefront 3. The awesome footage left most of us felling much remorse for the revered Haze developer. Well, as it stands you may still get a taste of Star Wars Battlefront 3…”
That was gamesradar.com through the year, and as we can see, they were pretty much spot on.
P.S. The BF3 leaked footage was using one of the cryengines. Would’ve been sweet.
Told you so. But you know what this means… there might be substance to the BF4 leaks.
The way I see it is that once Lucasarts sent
BF3/Elite Squadron to rebellion, whoever started drawing BF4 may have gotten word that there would a PSP spin-off, but that they hadn’t changed the name from BF3.
So, bottom line, focus on BF4 rumors, it’s the new BF3.
plus, on the BF3 leaked footage, the end says “Battle Front III”
not “Battle Front: Elite Squadron” when you start designing a game, obviously you have the name of the game first, and then design, not design the game, and then think of the name. so i think the leaked game footage is BF3, and not elite squadron.
I just hope they announce something of it soon, and stop torturing us >:[
Yeah your right
Definatley not the same game
i agree with mitzfah….besides the trailer had free radical all over it..and if u look closely at the end you’ll see that it says available for the PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 – when it would’ve been released…
Elite squadron was developed by rebellion or someone…so sorry but they look similar but aren’t the same thing!
I agree, the gameplay looks “similar” but it is far smoother, better, and just a kickbutt game and a stupid game on another. Hopefully, they will stop keeping u sin the dark for so long and just spit out that BF3 is coming out!
The gameplay on the bf3 footage is far smoother than elite squadron to be the same game. they could of had references and stuff from it, but its not the same game. Also the graphics are far too superior. I’m a huge gamer and they are definitely not the same game.
I believe what Elite Squadron was going to be the Version of BT3 For Portable consoles because of it the similarities, good, it is what I think.
Congratulations for your page.
