Star Wars: Battlefront III - Former Q&A Tester Shares New Details, Was Not Close To 99% Completion

DSOGaming writes: "Ah, we know that most of you will be cursing us. Why are you guys covering a title that was cancelled? Why, when you know that we wanted that title? But because we’ve got some new information about it, and we love retrospectives. In light of all those earlier SW:BF3 video leaks, a former Q&A tester decided to share some details about this scraped project on Reddit."

Obviously it wasn't. Was there ever a case where a game was 99% done before it even got officially announced?

Didn't think so.

Double_O_Revan4005d ago

Goldeneye HD came pretty close to that. It was reportedly almost done by the time it came out that Microsoft and Nintendo couldn't come to an agreement, and it got scrapped.

i still dont get why or how this game has been in developement hell for soooooo long. its a no brainer make it and we will buy it!

aliengmr4004d ago

While I do believe Free Radical takes a substantial share of the blame for BF3, in the end it was the absolute piss poor decision making in LucasArts that blew it.

Every publisher and developer needs a cash-cow they can milk, LucasArts spent way too much time getting fat and happy on the SW license that they forgot you have to actually make games to stay relevant.

They didn't, so they weren't, so they got the ax.

Jek_Porkins4005d ago

Well yea, I think along the lines of 75% done is plausible. Free Radical did say that they had the voice cast work done, which is really late stages.

Shame that now we'll probably see it switch to more of a Army Of Two style game if it ever gets made.

All this recent Battlefront 3 news makes me think the EA marketing movement is doing some undercover work.

Game companies are not mature enough to handle this concept without turning it into a casino.

The remakes of battlefront should have been more simular to the originals. CoD/battlefield reskinned as Star Wars was not the anwser.

Oh yea battlefront games were on the psp weren't they? And force unleashed as well. Great "handheld" versions those were.

plmkoh717d ago

Battlefront III in PSP is just Elite Squadron, was never cancelled. The start up menu is even the same same with X1 and X2.

After all these years, Free Radical's SWBF2 is still the best overall Star Wars game to me. It had everything you could want in big fun team battles, Jedi vs Sith and the space battles were extremely well done giving you the ability to land inside a capital ship's hangar to sabotage and take it down from within.

Sciurus_vulgaris815d ago

Free Radical didn’t make Star Wars Battlefront 2. The long defunct Pandemic Games developed the original Battlefront 2.

Urrakia34815d ago

Thank you sir, I appreciate the correction. Pandemic also developed Mercenaries I believe, right? That game too is a classic!

Sciurus_vulgaris815d ago

Yes, Pandemic did indeed develop Mercenaries.

ZeekQuattro814d ago

I wish that IP would make a return. The original was better but its the second one had its moments. You could pretty much level anything in those games if you had the right armaments.

This is just Battlefront Elite Squadron. Cancelling it was the right move, very few changes to Battlefront 3 except for a new forgettable campaign.
