LucasArts Developing Unannounced Project… Battlefront 3?
Some rumors have surfaced over the last few days as well as the fact that Ubisoft’s creative director Clint Hocking teamed up with LucasArts to start developing an un-named project! Another glimmer of hope for us Battlefront 3 fans as this could be the big moment that we are all waiting for!
There isn’t a whole lot of information available on this secret project, but hopefully we’ll be able to find some more out in the new future.
IGN had this to report:
“Former Ubisoft Montreal creative director Clint Hocking has joined LucasArts to develop an unannounced project, the company confirmed to IGN this morning.
Hocking spent the last nine years at Ubisoft heading development on Splinter Cell, Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory, and more recently Far Cry 2.
He resigned from the company abruptly in May citing the need for new opportunities.
LucasArts has seen plenty of turnover the past few months. Paul Meegan replaced Darrell Rodriguez as president of the company in June, and Force Unleashed II producer Haden Blackman resigned just last week.”
I am curious to hear all of your guys opinions one what this could be!

“XBOX’s official achievement site, www.xbox360achievements.org, features all games on the XBOX 360 with achievements, as well as upcoming games that will be receiving achievements in-game as well. It turns out Star Wars Battlefront 3 is on the games list, though no achievements have been shown yet. There are no signs of a release date for Battlefront 3 on this site, but it gives us hope that the game is still alive!”

“I heard a rumor (from a not-so-reliable source) that Battlefront 3 is still in production at Rebellion, but it’s being delayed because they wish to claim rights to the technology formerly owned by Free Radical allowing instant ground-to-space travel.”
A big thanks to everyone who sent me an email with rumors, especially vadersdemise and Ryan!

when this game comes out my ps3 or 360 will wish they were a snes well just for a year cuz after that i plan to play super mario all stars so keep us updated
well.. havnt eny of you played star wars battlefront elite squadron on psp and also looked at the star wars battlefront 3 leaked footage on the right of the page??
i did.. and i know exacly why swb3 is taking so long to be brought out.. its because whoever is now in charge of the rights is redesigning the story as x1 and x2 were in swb3 but after free radical went broke lucasarts turned to rebellion and gave them he rights to swb3 where they brought it out but under the title elite squadron..
this info i have gatherd from multible sites including this one and scottisalwaysright.com where i have came to that conclusion.. i hope this will help you fellow battlefront 3 fans..
also this is my first post so can i please get no abuse? thanks.
I’ve been saying the same thing on other articles. It makes sense because usually psp and ds games are designed by different studios. Free radical went under, rebellion didn’t Of course, they can’t make bf3 without a console version so they called it elite squadron.
Welcome to the club lol
Glad you got something at of the site(s). Feel free to sign up, we won’t bite, honest!
It would be awesome to see some new “What If” -stories, like Dark Kenobi. But I guess that’s dead project… :/
Imagine that if Anakin and Obi-Wan both went to the dark side?
Or Anakin never turns darth Vader and stays in a light side, taking care of Luke and Leai, and also tries to convert Obi-Wan back to the light`?
Farcry 2 is an awesome game. Simplinter Cell sucks.
I hope Lucasarts knows what it’s doing.
splinter cell conviction’s sweet but i still would trade in everygame i have for a bf3 unless it was nothing like the old ones.. if it had a story like cod it wouldn’t be battlefront
ok given but what if they are bringing the guy on because of his experience with things like SC I mean how better to make a game like RC2 than with a guy used to making games where sneaking around and killing quietly are the main themes. the more I look at it the more I think that he was brought on for that and not a BF3.
(I’ve been monitoring this site for a long time but never commented)
There is the possibility of another Jedi Knight game. It could be something completely different. I have confidence though that Battlefront 3 is drawing near….
(I’m just going to copy&paste what I said in the LA forums with some edits because no one likes bad jokes..right? lol).
Today I was scanning the Battlefront 3 petition and I found something.
There was this guy saying that Battlefront 3 is said to be developed in the OXM September 2010 issue. So keep an eye out for this issue, it should come out this month.
really?!?!?
Yea its on the highest page, or most recent page!
But I think this guy is right.
Because think of it, they show Battlefront 3 on http://www.xbox360achievements.org
And Battlefront 3 may be in the OXM September 2010 issue…
Coincidence? I don’t think so.
But if this much is true, I found some disturbing news, http://www.xbox360achievements.org sister site for PS3 achievements doesn’t list Battlefront 3 on their list.
So BF3, according to this info I stated, could mean that BF3 could be a Xbox 360 exclusive.
@ vader.
You can’t really compare much about the Xbox 360 to the PS3. This is no different. The PS3 doesn’t have achievements, it has trophies. So the sites wouldn’t matter much because the PS3 has a totally different gaming system. However, the fact that it would be showcased in the Xbox magazine may support the thought of a 360 exclusive. But I find this highly unlikely.
Yea my bad lol!
But http://www.ps3trophies.com doesn’t have BF3 listed.
Can’t believe I made that mistake of saying “PS3 achievements,” essentially the same thing but still… *BARF*
Well if you look at the latest news section on the BF3 page on that 360 achievements web site those are all from 2009 when the footage was leaked… my guess is that it was added then as a speculation thing, kind of like how BF3
wel eitha way i got a 360 so, awesome! =)
I think the info you are stating is completely wrong.How come battlefront 3 is an exclusive?I havent seen any Battlefront 3 on the xbox360 achievement site.
I don’t see it there either. The only two Star Wars games there are Republic Heroes and Force Unleashed. Force Unleashed II is still an upcoming there.
Where did you find Battlefront 3 on there exactly?
go to the website n manually search it. its there
But that still doesnt confirm that BF3 is an exclusive.Because the gamespy servers lists BF3 for several platforms.So there is hope that it will come out on both platforms.BTW,making battefront 3 as an exclusive is a total fake.
it is a coincidence because the 360 achievement site had the star wars battlefront 3 up since last year… it is rather old.
why would the bother making it exclusive? other big titles and things like CoD are made for other systems like the PC. makes no sense
banjo999 has a point there!
Free Radical has yet to give away their ground to space tech.
this is freakin awesome. hopefully itll be rc2 or bf3 o n if they make a limited edition i be preorderin =)
You kidding me, I check this website almost every day, I’m going to camp out for it, and trust me, I will miss school for Battlefront III.
hehe wel me to but i wont mis sku, wel maybe camp out. o n 4 all u my psn is agent_006_point5 and my gt is ROKSTAR303 ad me
If this guy is doing anything with Battlefront 3, It’ll have one heck of a campain.
Well this new guy they have has worked on alot of FPS’ so looking hopeful
awesome when i jumped on my PC this morning bored unexcited looked on this page what a do now and then and found out this i felt like jumping out of my chair for joy. that is a good rumor also what if was republic commando 2 ! while it may still be with rebellion and they mite be waiting for the space tech that well took a long time well what do i know i dont know how legal stuff works though. still they cant make a game that will fail ….hopefully
