Kotaku: Star Wars: Battlefront III may have been binned, but we've heard from sources that the series lives on, in the form of currently-in-pre-production Battlefront Online.
The game, for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, is currently being worked on by both Lucasarts and Slant Six Games, the studio responsible for SOCOM Confrontation and SOCOM Fire Team Bravo 3.
Some games are decent enough that they receive a yearly sequel; Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed series, and Activision’s Call of Duty franchise to name a couple. Other games are just as good yet for whatever reason, due to underwhelming sales or internal development issues, fans might have to wait years, if ever to get a follow-up to a beloved game.
Despite being the best-selling Star Wars game of all time, Star Wars: Battlefront has yet to have a next-generation sequel. Isn't it worthy?
I have never understood the hype battlefront gets. I loved the original, but it gets boring easy. To boot, it didn't even really have a story.
Suppose I am in the minority when I say it is average. Nonetheless, I hope they do make a 'sequel' so people will finally stfu lol.
Siliconera: "The rumors are true, Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City developer Slant Six was working on a Star Wars game back in 2010. Lucasarts hired Slant Six to make Star Wars Battlefront Online for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360."
A job listing hints that Slant Six are starting work on the speculated Star Wars: Battlefront Online, again.
Battlefront keeps popping up at the mo. Played the original ages ago, and really liked it. Would love to see a new one happen.
Well, as much as it's likely cancelled completely, a part of me wishes, the Battlefront games are superb.
Oh god no, Slant Six ruined SOCOM, now there going (maybe) to ruin Battlefront to? Any publisher with a brain in there head would not let Slant Six go anywhere near a console game, and just let them stick to there PSP crap.
Love the Battlefront series.
I find this very hard to believe.
Socom devs? Oh god no!
This means that the PS3 won't get a sloppy port if Slant Six Games is working on it.
If its going to be on Xbox 360 then obviously not Zipper since Sony owns Zipper... >.>
Oh and if I were you, I wouldn't be looking forward to Battlefront judging on how buggy SOCOM: Confrontation was/is. Don't get me wrong, I loved Confrontation but I gotta admit, that game is glitchy like a motherf*cker and had one of the worst launch in history.
And because of my avatar, you may be thinking I'm trying to stealth troll. Well think again, http://n4g.com/NewsCom-3756...
