    So way back in January we had a leaked video and some crazy information about Battlefront 3..... but it has been a long time since I heard any new information.

    Put it in the OP, but I haven't seen that and it looks cool. I don't know how it could be faked so lets be hopeful.

    edit: wikipedia page
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Wars_Battlefront_III

    It seems as if free radical lost the rights to the game and lucasarts really doesn't want word to get out.

    It has been scrapped until a new publisher can be found. There were almost done too.

    Yeah I wish this would come out. Both of the earlier Battle Fronts were amazing, me and a few friends would all just go hero and play KOTH. And I like pissing one of my friends off by keep force pushing him then we get into a fight.

    Wow, that was a HUGE leak, and I don't know if it was even by Free Radical. To me, it looked like a behind doors screening, and someone did not catch the guy with the camera. But, LucasArts appear to be morons because that game was close to completion from the looks of things, and they fired the developer. The ones making the game! Not just that, they fired the developers that were really innovating with the franchise in a good way (seamless ground to space? priceless for the game). Free Radical may have lost the rights, but Lucas Arts basically just lost the game itself. Don't fire your developer, fire some people. Hell, if anyone deserves to be fired, its the idiot who fired the developer.

    I had forgotten about SWBF 3, I didn't think it was going to be made. I see the footage, am totally blown away, only to learn that it isn't going to happen now. Uberextremesadfaic.

    Ugh... How could they stop working on the game! I loved Battlefront 2 so much but it kinda died for me when the 360 came out. I hope they will find someone to start making the game again, just seeing from the leaked footage.

    I'm not sure how many of you listen to 1up Yours, now Listen Up!, but they talked about this back in January. They said that Free Radical was almost done with the game, but had some disagreement with the developer, so they pulled the plug and the rights to make Star Wars games from Free Radical. On the other side, LucasArts lost access to a lot of proprietary technology that Free Radical had developed just for the game (such as the new three-tier level design, whereby the epic space battles happen at the same time as ground battles on a map that is supposed to be an entire planet).

    I was really looking forward to the game, but oh well.

    Well, i don't know all of the specifics, but that is in fact real game-play, and the company that was making [not sure about the name] had to cut a lot of its members due to the econ, or maybe they shut down all together. I'm not completely sure, but i remember reading about it along time ago, in a galaxy far, far away.

    Also, i think Pandemic picked this one up, i will try to find that old article, and i will edit my post.

    The gameplay is a Star Wars: Battlefront 2 computer mod. I'm sure the next installment to the series will be coming sometime this or next year though.

    the video seems kind of comical.
    all the characters are running but it rapidly changes between the chars and setting.
    idk just looks funny.

    But yeah BF2 is one of my fave games of all time. Shame it has to end like this.

    I don't know, if the game would be ready this year we definitely would of seen, or heard of it at E3. That 'leaked' footage looks legitimate, but seeing all the issues, I just want the game published. It was such a great game, and genre in itself, they should put their problems aside, and produce a game for the money us consumers will obviously supply them with. It's a huge disappointment that alot of rumors have been scrapped due to these silly issues, and I just want the god damn game to get rolling again. I still even find myself playing the second one with friends after halo becomes repetitive. It was a great franchise, and I hope it will still be.

    OMG! I forgotten all about SW:BF. I totally did not know there was going to be a third installment. I've play SW:BF2 on xbox, and I had lots of playing conquest and assault with just all the hero/villain characters. If this game comes out for Xbox 360, i just can't wait to see what i'll be like...
