I'll stick to Battlefront 2 Extreme V2 with the Conversion Pack 2.2 and patch V1.3

I'm no lawyer but I'm pretty sure you will get sued.

I'm going to play it safe and say my only fear is the legality of the whole ordeal.

[Gfunkymonkey]

no legal issues as long as it is not sold. so it has to be free to all

I think I saw that it was only for PC. I don't know a lot about videogame programming, so does anyone know if it would be hard to port a PC game to a console? Sorry if that's a stupid question, but again, I don't know a lot about videogame programming.

You'd have to buy a VERY expensive dev kit, and only if Sony or Microsoft deemed you worthy. You could use XNA for 360, but they're using Unreal, so I don't think that's possible.

Ok. Well, that sucks for me, because I'm a console owner. Thanks for the info though

This game is essentially just a project for people to learn about game development. Most forum members at gwtor.com are blowing it out of proportion. It's not going to be sold and it'll just be a very simple game based off the same style as the Battlefront games. There are similar mods/games attempted for related games, there will no be no legal issues unless they try to monetize it for some dumb reason which I will not endorse.
