NowGamer: Battlefront III was '99% finished' according to Free Radical Design co-founder Steve Ellis, who says the project was shut down due to 'financial reasons'.
Is Star Wars Battlefront 3 coming? Well, the correct answer is yes, no and maybe. It’s been six years since the second instalment, and fans are still waiting for confirmation of another sequel.
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.
Someone has just revealed images proving that there was supposed to be a Star Wars Battlefront III for PSP.
Oh yea battlefront games were on the psp weren't they? And force unleashed as well. Great "handheld" versions those were.
Battlefront III in PSP is just Elite Squadron, was never cancelled. The start up menu is even the same same with X1 and X2.
Clever Star Wars fans have uncovered yet another piece of Free Radical's Star Wars: Battlefront 3, exploring the game's tutorial level.
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.
This is just Battlefront Elite Squadron. Cancelling it was the right move, very few changes to Battlefront 3 except for a new forgettable campaign.
Oh that is SERIOUSLY bound to piss some people off... I'd never played the games, but I know they had a rather devoted following. :\
This is good... Now that Disney owns Lucas Art's and Star Wars, they might revive the project for a quick finish...
I did really love Battlefront series, but LOTR Conquest made me sad.
There's gotta be more than that. You can't shut something down that's 1% away from being able to make tons of money since there was tons of money that was put into it in the first place. That's just stupid.
Instead we got force unleashed...
