Star Wars Battlefront III surfaces on Amazon

Online shopping megalith Amazon.com has added listings for Star Wars Battlefront III ... for no less than six platforms. The game is available for pre-order and has what we can only imagine is a tentative March 15, 2009 release date.

Shoots up my most wanted list. I wonder who is making it

[LostChild]

The last I heard, Free Radical was the Devs on this one.

[supahbad]

sure hope not, they'll turn it into a lame FPS. march 15 is pretty soon, don't trust amazon but i wonder if they will show it at e3

[GametimeUK]

this news has given me a boner... whats that other star wars game on the horizon called again?

Star Wars Force Unle...../CARE!!!!!! >.< roffle WTF!!!

[BigBaehr]

Holy sh!t! Hope its true.

[Storm23]

First ones were awesome. Hope this one turns out to be incredible.

[ThatCanadianGuy]

Number two was awesome,the "galactic conquest" i think it was called
Got kind of boring and repetetive,but DAMN!! number three surely wont dissapoint.

[grantps3]

yeah golactic concuest was cool but the need to make vehicles and gernades more powerful like in number 1. and i doubt they will get rid of them but i did not like heros...they made everything too easy

[alxramos]

let's see what scenarios they put into it also.. the other two have had very good one..

[kewlkat007]

.....

[supahbad]

yeah i loved the huge battles and all the stuff you could do. i hope they make online a major feature and include galactic conquest as an online mode

[kingme71]

I actually didn't like Renegade Squadron on the PSP. It might have more to do with playing it on a handheld. The controls just didn't feel good to me. I might have a totally different opinion on a console though.

[Appo]

I loved the first and second!!! Hopefully Pandemic makes the game. (Will only be possible if EA and LucasArts make some kinda deal)

[Mcrmarcher]

Sweet i loved the first two games even got it for the psp =) Its very rare i enjoy a starwars game, battlefront and rouge squadron on the n64 are the only ones i really enjoyed, That and the phantom menace on the ps1, good times.

[Appo]

I didn't really enjoy the PSP one. I got it for Christmas. (I got the Star Wars PSP bundle)

I Just didn't like the controls, though.

[ROFLCOPTER]

Well, there's another E3 surprise ruined.

[monkey602]

I'm going to be p!ssed if this isnt shown soon

[eddierivera]

You guys dont know what your talking about,freagin children I tell you, anyways, I love the battlefront series, and if this release is true, then you better believe this game will have online, thats what made the psp version so cool,, why wouldn't they beable to implement that on a next gen console? DE DE DE

Battlefront is the best selling game in the whole Star Wars series of games. Honestly, I wish Lucas Arts would have made this instead of Force Unleased. I think that is just retarded on their part. I dont understand why all these Publishers make brand new ip's. Devs should stick with formulas that work,,, maybe if they kept making next gen ps2 and xbox games the Wii wouldnt be winning the format war.

Everyone likes playing games that they loved on the older systems. People want new,, but they also want things they know. For isnstance, WTF is up with Free Radical making Haze? What they should have done is made a new Timesplitters. Another one, Heavenly Sword. Why would Sony make that game when they could have just made a new God of War? It would be out by now , and PS3 sales would be selling faster than they could stock them on shelves. I could go on and on,, There are so many freaking games that suck. Gaming would be so much better and profitable if Devs took their time to make the older Ip's with better graphics and up to date gameplay. What do you guys think?

[El Antagonista]

As much as I love established IPs like God of War and Timesplitters, I think it's great that developers are taking chances with these new titles because it allows them to try out new things and see whether or not it's worth doing again or as a one-time venture. I think it'd be a tragedy if the games market just went the way of the Madden series, but thankfully most have common sense to not just release the same thing over and over without improving a few things.

I thought Heavenly Sword was great, it had good graphics and great characters; Haze is worth checking out too...it flopped because it didn't meet expectations, sure, but I wouldn't write off the game just because of that reason. It's definitely better than some other shooters i've played this year *cough*Turok*Cough*.

In short, i'm in favor of new ideas, but I definitely wouldn't mind seeing all my older games on current-gen platforms.

[DFresh]

Sounds cool and next gen too.
6 platforms?
PS3
PS2
PSP
PC
360
DS

[grantps3]

ds version would be a discrace same as wii

[Peow]

Battlefront was great, I love the full scale battles. I'd always play that one map... with all the wookies... and sit on those big platforms as a storm trooper sniper and pick em all off. It was a blast(battlefront II btw). And nothing beat the music in Mos Eisley while owning it up with Chewy's guided missile.

And I'll never forget laughing so hard after the cyborg general guy said "Your screams are like music to my audio receptors!" Cracked me up.

Anyhow, can't wait to see this game. Hopefully it's being made by Pandemic. Err... wait.. EA bought them didn't they? :[ EA has ruined gaming for me...

[El Antagonista]

I loved playing the older SWBF games on my PS2, I have fond memories of playing Battlefront II online as the Dark trooper and frying people with the lightning gun. I haven't played Renegade Squadron as i've lost my PSP, but I imagine it's as good as the previous games in the series.

On another note, you think this game is Free Radical's Top Secret LucasArts project? If it is, I wonder what they have in store for this one!

[TitanUp]

awesome i still play the 2cnd one.

[caffman]

its been taken off the site

[staub91]

I really want Pandemic to make it... There LotR game is looking BA

If Free Radical does make this and it blows.... I'll kill them.

Sorry for the violence but I love SWBF...

My friend and I were just talking about if there was going to be a SWBF yesterday....lol

[big shadow]

battlefront 1 and 2 were really fun. I hope the third one is fun too.

[coxyefc]

this will be amazing hopefully, especially over PSN and Xbox Live. I hope they keep the 3rd person view, i am sick and tired of first person shooters.
