A big thanks goes out to “Wenis”, a member on our forums who has been relentless in digging up some XBOX 360 screenshots (originally posted by SWBF3.de) as well as some nice renders of Geonosis and a great little animation reel of the following:

“An animation reel, which shows various games including Battlefront III. You can even hear a little bit of the voice acting of that Shara bounty hunter, and some other guy.”

You can check out that animation at this link: click here.

Check out the shots of Geonosis here and here.

And last but not least, here are the XBOX 360 screenshots from Free Radical’s version of Battlefront 3.

“The Loading Screen of BFIII was a hyperspace sequence, which showed information about the planet you were about to do battle on. It featured animated ‘warp’ effects based on those seen in the Star Wars movies.”

“One of the most complex screens I concepted for the front-end of BFIII was the ‘Select Spawn Location’ screen, which was intended to illustrate the ‘Vertical Battlefield’ concept (encompassing ground, sky and space), across all 12 different planets.”

“‘Select Spawn Class’ was intended to allow the gamer to choose from a dynamic list of classes. This concept (with placeholder art) envisions a scenario with many class options for the ‘Heroes Vs Villians’ game mode.”

“The ‘Galactic Conquest’ game mode was one of the highly anticipated modes of BFIII. This concept illustrates the visual approach I defined to the main ‘chess board’ screen. The animated camera would zoom in on your planet selection.”

“Many of the front-end screens were projected as ‘holograms’ onto a battle table, which was situated on a Star Destroyer bridge. This ‘Control Configuration’ screen concept shows how we were planning on realising that goal.”

Star Wars: Battlefront III may not go next gen…

It’s been awhile since i’ve actually updated the website.. but there just hasn’t been any new Battlefront 3 news. Seems like there was a rush of information about the game and then wham! nothing for the last month or so.

But…

One of my forums members have dugg up a new rumor for us and some potentially bad news for some gamers. Apparently, if and when, Star Wars: Battlefront 3 gets developed, they may not be coming out for the PS3 or the XBOX 360.

According to PS3Center.net:

“It’s been known for quite a while now that LucasArts has been backing a new Star Wars: Battlefront game. Free Radical Design, the developer behind the critically acclaimed TimeSplitters franchise, was previously working on the game, evidenced by some assets leaked after they went into financial troubles late last year. However, since then, LucasArts has been relatively quiet about the game.

According to an industry insider, Rebellion Developments are currently working on Star Wars: Battlefront III. Rebellion worked on the 2007 Battlefront title for the PSP, and was funded to make the PSP and PS2 versions of Battlefront III, while Free Radical would work on the next gen versions. Apparently, however, Rebellion made LucasArts an offer to develop the next gen versions cheaper and more quickly than Free Radical, leading LucasArts to cut funding to Free Radical, resulting in the developer going under.

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.

Unfortunate news for Star Wars fans, especially after seeing Free Radical’s ground-to-space engine for their version of Battlefront III.”

Now again this is just a rumor and is not necessarily true.
