Star Wars Battlefront 3 speculation thread

[JVM]

I doubt it. I wish this game would either come out or just die already.

Necropost!

Well, more of a bump. New Rumors be a swirlin'

http://www.theforce.net/latestnews/story/Star_Wars_Battlefront_3_Rumors_Return_142765.asp

Yeah, I heard rumors that Gameinformer will announce it on January 5th.

I'm waiting for a star wars battlefront collection to be released. That would probably be the biggest indication of a battlefront 3 in the works. And it would be great to be able to play those games online again on the ps3 (or 360). Hell, they could even put the psp ones on there with the added ability to aim up or down.

[RedZillaKing]

Still no word on Battlefront 3, huh? Hey LucasArts.... F***********************************************k you.

But seriously, they need to limit or just scrap lightsaber throwing altogether. It makes no sense when fighting soldiers and only two Jedi ever even did it in the films.

Could this be the return?

I loved the first two, and I've got a couple of little cousins that would go apesh*t over this.

That video is from 2008.... Literally. That video got leaked a very long time ago, and was when Free Radical was still in business and was working on the game. They went bankrupt in 2009 and were bought by Crytek (the makers of Crysis 1 and 2). I have no idea if Crytek would thus own the rights to make one, and if they would still have those rights.

That's a different video there have been two video leaks now.

That video may have been from 2008 but it's not the big leak everyone was talking about.

[GojiFan]

I think you missed the point. That game, engine and everything, was trashed. It doesn't exist anymore. It adds about as much speculation as me posting a video of the Aliens:Colonial Marines game for PS2 that was cancelled. There really isn't a point, because that specific game shown will never be on the market.

Does it matter? The alpha footage from 2008 is using the same engine/tech as the newly leaked alpha footage. It's dead. I know it sucks because I've been waiting for a sequel for over half a decade, but it's dead.

Which is funny because Lucasarts continues to release mediocre titles like Force Unleashed as well as that awful-looking Kinect game. Even though there are tens of thousands of Battlefront fans who want BF3.

[Mothra Freak]

Well, you know how much Lucas cares for the fans.

[RedZillaKing]

Oh God. Why????? I saw this thread and thought there might be some news. Hey Lucas(arts).... F★★★★★★ck you!!

The Battlefront series is The single greatest love letter to Star Wars in video game history. How much do you want to bet we'll get The Force Unleashed IV (you heard me) before they even consider BF III? Either that or countless Lego SW sequels or hey... how about more made up Jedi shit?

[Kaiju-King42]

^ I agree. I dunno about the rest of you guys, but SW Battlefront 2 is in my personal top five favourite games of all time list. Not even kidding. I have some great memories from that game, like the great coffee break of Endor for example. Oh, how I can forget the great coffee break of Endor? That was perhaps one of my greatest victories in a video game. EVER.

[Godzilla 1995]

You know, as awesome as the Battlefron series is...I still want KOTOR III more.

[miguelnuva]

Lucasarts is officaly crazy

The game was finished when they canceled.

Top ten definitely. Are you talking about how Endor is rigged for the Rebels? Yeah, that's a pain.

I was playing Battle Front II today with my little cousin...I kicked his ass...

[TechnoForce]

1 and 2 were both great games. I hope they make the new one a little more tactical. I found the previous two a little shallow but still tremendously fun.

Oh no. Not even close.

I was playing on the Rebels side. I had modified the options so that each team had 500 reinforcements. Early on in the game, we captured all the command posts that the Imperials started out with... but the Imperials had captured all the command posts that we started out with, so the map was kinda flipped. So off i went through the trees, taking position near the end on one of those giant fallen logs, the hollow ones. On the other end was the nearest enemy command post.

Every single player on the Imperial team spawned from that one command post.

So it was me, just little old me, against 16 Imperials on the other side of the log. I managed to kill all of them, thanks to my award rifle and pistol. I took their ammo and health, and just before I began to head towards their command post on the other side of the log, all 16 players spawned again. I killed wave after wave without dying, although I did still have some close calls. After nearly half an hour of holding back the army, I was beginning to wonder one thing. Where on earth where all the other rebels? I was seriously the only one in combat, while everyone else was... somewhere. I managed to hold back the Imperials until the reinforcement meter had diminished from 400 something, to 30 something, miraculously, all without dying once. It was then, and only then that the rest of my team came to help me beat the remaining Imperials.

To this day, I maintain the belief that all the other Rebles and Ewoks were on a coffee break.

"The team had its highs (like its well-received TimeSplitters games) and lows (like Haze), but its darkest days were those preceding the cancellation of its heretofore unannounced last project: Star Wars: Battlefront 3."

Seems the studio had some tough times.

^ Damn. Battefront 2 has been one of the most fun games i have played of Star Wars (Playing in Assault mode with my cousins
and friends taking down Droids or been dicks and trying to push one another to the Rancor, Good times) I hope this gets made
Someday...
