New Star Wars Battlefront III Pre-Alpha Footage Surfaces - Shows Just What Could Have Been

"This footage is also of the Xbox 360 build. It seems like a quick and dirty port, not optimized at all. This continues in all aspects of the game, as it continues to say "Exit to Desktop." Framerates are bad, AI is virtually non-existent, nothing has been bug tested, it isn't feature complete, the list goes on."

Argh! Game will never come out :(

SPAM-FRITTER-1234398d ago

they know we want it so im sure they will come up with something. im enjoying the old republic at the moment.

mep694398d ago

Atleast there is footage of this, not even a rumor exists of Jedi knight 4.

DeadlyFire4398d ago

I wouldn't say a rumor for Jedi Knight 3 doesn't exist. If you add up the Jedi Knight games you would get 5 instead of 3 or 4. The sequence goes without a 3 so far.

Spark Unlimited project was first rumored as a sword fighting game. So all the Battlefront 3 teases could just be for show. We don't really know. All that is for certain is Spark Unlimited are working with Lucasarts on a Star Wars title.

Funny thing is Rebellion started work on a new 3rd person shooter title. In past couple of months. Could just be a PS Vita Battlefront game, but likely that wouldn't release alone without a home edition for consoles/PC.

Kingdom Come4398d ago (Edited 4398d ago )

The game looks to have had massive potential, the sheer scope of the game, with transitions between ground and space battles being seamless and sublime (regardless of the footage being from an incredibly early stage of the games development). I hope this game'll release someday...

ginsunuva4398d ago

But then Starhawk happened...

modesign4398d ago

did they only make the medical frigate and the domes star destroyer models as the only fleet vessels. lol

this guy couldnt hit the broadside of a barn with a lightsaber.

wasnt there a battlefield for psp that is just like this,

TekoIie4398d ago

This is an early version so I assume things would be different. To how they WOULD have ended up for release.

arjman4398d ago

Apparently Battlefront Elite Squadron (or whatever its called) started out as the PS2/PSP version of Battlefront 3 but after Free Radical tanked they continued development using different assets, etc...

Laxman4398d ago

I never got to experince the Battlefront games online, but seeing as it was good enough with just bots, I imagine they would be amazing online titles!

TitanUp4398d ago

star wars battlefront 2 still has a strong online community on pc anyways i don't know about the other systems.

mayberry4398d ago

I can understand the massive lag and non-existant textures, but the horrible character animations are ps2 era! And when a pilot gets into a ship, he still walks up to one and just "pops" in? No cool entry animation? And I know the sound was recorded from speakers, but the blaster sound effects again, ps2 era! Also the flight animations were very last gen too! I am a huge swbf fan but after playing Killzone 2/3, I am very spoiled when it comes to shooters I guess.

TheGameFoxJTV4398d ago

Dude, this is barely even Alpha. Do you have any idea what that means?

mayberry4397d ago

I sure do know what "alpha" means.
my point is that as a gaming hobbyist for over
30 years now, and by researching the games that I've been interested in for most of that time, I have seen more "alpha" footage of games than problably a very high percentage of people that game as of now. And by looking closely at this "alpha" footage, to me it would have to be taken back to the drawing board for the points I stated to be significantly built up to be considered a title worthy of this gen's consoles. I will even go as far as to acknowlege this going multi-plat, i.e. the lowest build quality available.
Again... I am a huge fan of the series to the point that if this "alpha" build was released today at these specs, I'd still buy it for 60 u.s dollars right now.

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

shadowknight203126d ago

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

GoodGuy09713d ago

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

plmkoh712d 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_vulgaris810d ago

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

Urrakia34810d ago

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

Sciurus_vulgaris810d ago

Yes, Pandemic did indeed develop Mercenaries.

ZeekQuattro810d 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.
