LucasArts confirmed at PAX 2010…
Well after months upon months of some serious hardcore let downs (especially at E3 and Celebration V) , we have another fresh breath of hope.. and that my friends is PAX 2010.
What exactly is PAX:
“PAX is a three-day game festival for tabletop, videogame, and PC gamers. We call it a festival because in addition to dedicated tournaments and freeplay areas we’ve got nerdcore concerts, panel discussions, the weekend-long Omegathon event, and an exhibitor hall filled with booths displaying the latest from top game publishers and developers. Even with all this amazing content the best part of PAX is hanging out with other people who know their shit when it comes to games.”
LucasArts has been confirmed to be at PAX 2010 but what exactly is on their agenda? Hopefully a Battlefront 3 announcement, but as of right now they have been confirmed to be showing a first look on the new Force Unleashed 2 trailer and an exclusive in depth look at The Old Republic.
“Saturday, 5:00 PM – 6:15 PM, Main Theatre
Star Wars Games – REVEALED!
LucasArts and BioWare unite on stage once again to give PAX attendees an exclusive in-depth look at Star Wars: The Old Republic! Don’t miss your chance to be the first to hear and see new details about the MMORPG that everyone is talking about. As an added bonus, attendees will also get an explosive look at a demo of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II, the sequel to 2008′s blockbuster best-seller. LucasArts will demonstrate now fugitive Starkiller’s devastating force powers in an exclusive look at this galaxy-altering game. “
Now of course this doesn’t necessarily mean that they won’t be showing anything else but we can always hope! I will definitely keep you updated if I hear anything else on what LucasArts has in store for us at PAX 2010.
PAX 2010 will be held September 3 – 5, 2010 in Seattle, Washington.. I hope everyone has already got their tickets, because they are sold out!
A special thanks to Rainz for sending in his Battlefront 3 Hope email. Keep them coming fans!
“Rainz here with a message concerning all fans of the Battlefront series:
Battlefront 3 has faced some trouble over the past few weeks, with no announcement at E3 or at the Celebration V convention. I’m sure that after the latter, most of you had given up hope, believing our dream game would never see the light of day. However, I advise you not to do so.
With Lucasarts hiring a new President, there’s already been changes made. The Force Unleashed 3 has been cancelled, and no more games will be developed internally at Lucasarts.
And what about this “unnamed project” that has been supposedly put on hold? There’s certainly a high chance that it is Battlefront 3, seeing as there are no more games in the LEGO series, a sequel to Monkey Island has already been announced and is in the works, and Lucidity received such poor reviews from the experts that there is little to no chance a sequel is even being THOUGHT of!
There are many great video game conventions and wards shows out there, I am SURE Battlefront 3 will show up at at least one of them. Don’t forget, P.A.X. 2010 is coming in the next couple of days, so we’d better keep a VERY close eye on it, as wells all the other conventions coming in the future.
Just remember, Star Wars fans, if you believe in it, it will come.”

Maybe if it wasn’t cause of the Video we might have BF3?
just hope to god that L.A. Annoucese BF3 this time.
(i know i had some Typo’s feel free to Correct me)
Kinda doubt it guys. I dont think they would go in depth into TOR and show gamplay of TFU2 and Then be like “Oh by the way were making BF3″
No I think that announcement will be a very big to do, not a side item.
You guys. If they announce BF3 the world is going to become a better place. The handheld games have been okay, but the plotline for elite squadron was worse than trying to make a video of Gungans doing a Jane Austin novel, or, worse yet, Twilight… with Ewoks. The point is, if they are going to announce BF3 I hope that it is a LONG way off, so as to avoid half baked plotlines, cut scenes between ground to space flights and havin to “create it specifically for a handheld” (putting those two games on psp was effing stupid. Honestly). As for the TFU franchise, they effed it when they gave to possible endings (not to mention repetitive gameplay, and now they’re making a sequal to the canon ending which made the entire plot pointless anyways (for anyone who doesn’t know, darth vader had a secret apprentice… And he died just before anyone could really give a f**k about him). Anyways, it’s screwed.
But back to BF3. When it does come out I’m buying it even if it ends up sucking, because it deserves to be honoured as it’s forerunners were. Doubtless, it will end up being one of the gratest games of all time … If they do it right
(sorry about the rant guys)
Although this has nothing to do with PAX and I have pressed the reply button. I just watched an interview with Sam Witwer (The Apprentice) and he said that he was going to be included in a series most people know and have been waiting for. Now my idea is if it is swbf3 then he may be a hero/villain to play as in game. The interview is on inside xbox, check it out and see what you think
Did he mention it was a game? He’s slated to appear in the Star Wars live action series coming in 2012.
not specifically…but based on his context he was talking about a game. He seemed like he really wanted to tell the interviewer but couldn’t. He said: “I’m going this weekend to shoot something and i can’t tell you what it is, and in fact you wont know what it is until….laaater…and i was promised by…..i promised the executive producer i wouldn’t say what i was doing and in fact it’s going to be uncredited until later so…cant say anything about that. But your gonna love the series and in fact you’ve probably already heard of it and your waiting for it. Its gonna be awesome. Theeeeen i might be doing some thing else and i can’t talk about that either… Sorry. ” he then goes on to say that we will see a little bit of him in the next year or two “who knows” he said.
BF3 IMO could be either referenced project but more likely the live action is the latter of the two..i cant see them being to far along with that to release in the next year or two. But BF3 could be released well into that timeline.
@admin, u want me to upload a video of this to youtube and give u a link so u can maybe feature it in a story or something?
Why not share the link via comment? : )
At the end of it

It’s fine. You have a right to your opinion. There was some recent talk about Rebellion possibly buying back the technology for grond to space combat from Free Radical. And when you take away the 2 new force powers, new locations, and the dual lightsasbers, TFU 2 is basically the same game as the original.
Talk? Where exactly was there “talk” of Rebellion buying Free Radical’s tech? Why do people constantly make stuff up around here?
Sorry, “Talk” was the wrong word. “Rumour” is what I meant so say.
well I will have to say that I did read from some were that L.A. has or had putt SWB3 on hold until they got the tech from free radical for the “ground to space combat” system that they developed but now how true that is I do not know but that is the what I have heard.
Sorry, I messed up the email. I meant to say no more games will not be developed internally at LucasArts. Anyways, it’s nice to see my message have given all you guys hope!
Yes, TY!
PAX never heard of it and wil it be aired on tv ? now back to bf3 ive had numerous dreams about geoarge announcing it his self at some convention will this be it / our most awated moment in life neh doubt it im just gonna play bfrs because elite squadron dosent work anymore
I am sure that it will be announced big time,because they started making real servers.
Sorry if I misread the previous article, but i thought the big shange in LucasArts was that they would no longer be developing project EXTERNALLY. I think I just misunderstood.
And is it just me, or is LucasArts making a ton of CG trailers. It’s like their budget goes into the trailers rather than the games.
It is a matter of coincidental manipulation, my friends. “I’m bored of waiting. I hope they don’t bring out BF3 now because I’ve played it so much in my head It’s gotten repetitive.”
And now watch the announcments fly in…
me too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Man, I doubt they will show it, but all the changes are GOOD. But even though TFU2 is not what we wanted, I still feel bad for the team, they were so optimistic with the first one, its sad to see their doom coming. I’m betting TFU2 will be a flop due to low moral and productivity. But god it would make my week if they announce BF3
