A Few Small Updates; LucasArts Domain & VGA’s
I hope all is well with all you Battlefrontians! It’s been a long, long time since my last post so I figured I would take the time tonight to do a quick post with a few updates. This is probably the longest drought for no news in a very long time… If Spark Unlimited is making Battlefront 3, then they are doing one hell of a job of keeping it secret and they deserve a round of applause for it.
To the news.. well.. more like information.. LucasArts have renewed their domain, starwarsbattlefront3.com until October 19, 2013. This, in my opinion, is great news.. at least it will keep our hopes up for at least another 2 years!
It’s that time again as well where the buzz for the 2011 VGA’s starts stirring, and whether you like it or not, they are fast approaching! Not much has been announced yet, but we will be definitely keeping tabs on any tidbits!
The Spike Video Game Awards 2011 will air on December 10, 2011

Sounds good but I will put up my hopes no more that high for this game… I will believe it if I see it.
Hello and I would like everyone to know that spark unlimmited is probobly the only company that is hiding a game develpoment so fucking secret it probaly the most secret develpoment in years.
2 what do you mean 2 years? there makeing it for the next gen consle that might be released next year (or alot of information about it).
3 ho do you contact lucas arts
4 there si no 4
Shadow,
2: Answer: It wil probally take that long to make the game, unless it is already in production, which a lot of us believe.
3: Answer: It is almost impossible. Their e-mail is kept secret, and I tried sending them a letter, it came back in an envelope, they did not even read because they can’t. Too much fan mail. You can try, this is what I did, went to lucasfilm address, sent a letter.

4: Answer: Haha, not funny.
>:(
It is definitley a very top secret project. I will continuously read GameInformer, since they keep up to date. I mean they gave Transformers: Fall of Cybertron a cover story, why not Battlefront 3. (I LOVE TRANSFORMERS BTW.)
VERY IMPORTANT PLEASE READ VERY IMPORTANT PLEASE READ!!!!!!
Sorry for all the posts but I just checked Spark’s twitter and awesome hint!
When asked if this game would be their best they said
“The project has been the best on all fronts. From the best we expect the best.”
Best on all fronts!!!! BesT on aLL FRONTs= BTLLFRONT!!!!!!!
YAY YAY YAY YAY MAY THE FORCE BE WITH US ALL HALLELUJAH!!!!!!!
That actually is pretty cheeky of them. I really do think they’re dying to tell us but are just giving out subtle little hints like “best on all fronts”.
Good to hear about the domain name being renewed. I’m thinking we’ll have to wait until next year for any news on Battlefront 3 rather than the VGA’s, but hey, you never know. By the way, I’m in college and I still play the Battlefronts. When a third one comes out, I’m definitely buying it no matter what.
I propose an experiment.
Several of us independently email LucasArts and Spark Unlimited asking about games that don’t exist.
If they say that the games we email about don’t exist, the it’ll give a bit of believability to the theory that by being quiet about BF3 they’re hiding something.
I don’t understand… by “games that don’t exist” do you mean bf3 and rc2 or “Elite Ninja-Robot-platypus action power (a name i just invented)? Although thier silence has been suspicious indeed.
i think they will have a big campaign for it this year and have a commerical to wet peoples whistles and release the game in fall of next year. That seems like the thing to do.
They wouldnt have to compete with sales of any video game i know besides halo. Forgot big timing it on halo 4! starwars battlefront im ordering the customized xbox 360 for my game if it has one. They will rule with their massive battles which get crazy sometimes. I also liked using AI as enemy fodder sometimes.
i know they have that r2 360 but i have a ps3 and it would be awesome if they made a ps3 in the likeness of darth vaders head. if they did that i’d buy 2 of them lol. but if they do come out with the game soon i’n definitely getting the r2 style 360. ever since they came out with that i’ve been wanting one but i need a real star wars game to play on it. no force unleashed, lego or kinect crap lol.
They usually update it 1 year at a time, so for them to do it for 2 years is a very good sign. I expect they’ll announce the game next year, doubtful for the VGAs.
Its amazing how long these ppl from lucas arts are making us wait. I know some gamers digg the fuzz and the love the anticipation but we all gotta face the cold hard fact. This game may never come out or when it does it will be a pile if shit just like the force unleashed. I really dont understand the lucasarts management. What are they waiting for???
they’re waiting for TOR to come out
Exactly. They’re all waiting for the buzz and the post-buzz to die down a little while still being able to ride a little of it into Battlefront 3. I’d say Quarter 3 or 4 of 2012 is a good release date for it.
especially if they include TOR themed maps and eras, it would be wise to wait
Totally agree with you though. Announced Q1 or Q2, released late Q3 or Q4
I’m really hoping this silence in BF3 news is because SparkUnlimited is really making it. I remember last year and the year before that there was rumors everywhere about BF3. If they are making it then there will be no real new news until early next year. After TOR is released then we should hear something on this because of the way marketing works but until then its kind of just wait and see. It really sucks but I’m actually encouraged by the silence. If their game is announced before then then it will probably crush us as another failed emotional investment on or hearts. So lets hope that we actually hear no real news until next year. So here’s to the frustrating but encouraging silence. But if it isn’t Star Wars Battlefront 3 I might just loose my faith.
Don’t loose faith. We all get tired of this, but it happens. Just, at least, still play Battlefront 1 & 2. Just stay in faith. A guy in another blog lost faith in January, and I felt sorry for him, and so did a lot of others. I quote: “I am done. One day, I hope to be in a Game store, and stumble across a game called “Battlefront 3.” But now, I am finished with this. I will still play 1 & 2.” Don’t do what he did, OK.
Dont lose faith untill the last person does.
Don’t get me wrong, i’ll always hope for the game to come out but it will probably be easier on the mind to forget about it for awhile if this isn’t it. But me and my son play BF2 all the time. It’s still a fun game especially when i’m tearing through clones as Darth Maul. I just wish I had an updated gen console with new characters and smarter enemy AI. If this really is it then my wife might divorce me because me and my son will be on the game all day every day lol.
the fans have been waiting and keeping faith for the game for son long will be the ones to enjoy the game the most.
@Wowirock, True that.
We like to think that this is the calm before the storm…
Just a suggestion if you want smarter enemies play online? just an idea
BF1 was wonderful
BF2 had better vehicles and space combat
BF3 will be truly amazing, with each successive iteration going up in fun-ness at an exponential rate
@ Darth Anonymous, i’m not much of a ps2 online kinda of guy. i got my ps3 for online play and if they come out with the game i’m going to be all over the online aspect of it but i do like to play the story modes and on bf2 i run around with a pistol on elite and almost never die lol. plus not everyone has internet access all the time. i live in an area where they call 3 meg internet high speed which is a crock of $#!% and it runs off towers and i usually get poor reception when the other people in my house hold is on or my neighbors are on theirs. its one of the big down falls of living in the middle of nowhere but when i don’t have good internet i still will want to play the game, thats all. just want a challenge no matter what mode i’m playing ya know. but here’s to the hopes of all of us getting what we want in the game and to the hopes that we are right in thinking that SparkU is making our game.
I play it 24/7 too, and I love playing as Darth Maul on Polis Massa tearing through Clones like nobodys business (I killed 81 once, ah good times). It is still fun, but if they make it, I am going to go crazy. On September 24 at 8:00 there was supposed to be a commercial of it, a twitter account said it, I never had faith in him. But don’t loose faith. (And play Mos Eisley Hero & Villains (Assault) mode while you’re at it!
Do or Do not, there is no try.
I think you all know who said that, I just love that quote.
Qeustion why in the hell is lucas arts dumping money into the Old Republic? How come after years of unleashed more hasnt been accomplished? Now we all know SWBF3 was passed on to the PSP, A basic version of what was to be. But isnt it possible that there waiting to strike back with a better game engine and technology for the next gen for BF3. I hope so. I really do.
It’s been what… 5 years since Battlefront 2?? At this point in time most of the origonal fan base for this game (like myself) have jobs, finishing colledge, or in some cases a family to worry about over a game that should’ve come out in 2009. If it does come out, sure I’ll get it but it’s past the time when I’ll actually be able to enjoy it for hours on end like I did with the first 2. It’s a shame LucasArts let such a promising series go to waste by dumping the origonal Battlefront 3 off on the 2nd PSP release.
Don’t pretend that reboots never happen or that parents/college students don’t play games.
Actually 6 years now :/ But to be fair, it has been 5 years since Oblivion’s release and look at how Skyrim is turning out. I will definitely remain optimistic about this game
