TSR Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 More umming and arring over BF3. If this is indeed true, and there is a time in the future when BF3 is released, it had better not be cr*p after all this drama.
GeneralPloKoon Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 A bummer? That is amazing knews, Pandemic wont be able to ruin the third one! Hopefully Free Radical(Crytek UK) will pick it up again. I'm afraid of Rebellion getting their slimy hands on the game.
LordJhredmo Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 http://darkzero.co.uk/game-news/star-wars-battlefront-3-no-longer-with-rebellion/ Thank God for Rebellion not getting it. Maybe Activision will get it?... http://www.lucasarts.com/company/release/news20090306.html
jawathehutt Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 If pandemic and rebellion arent doing it and its still being developed, than there just may be hope that it wont totally blow.
LordJhredmo Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 Well, I'm glad to have helped provide some info. Let's hope for the best...
Bokken Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 So Rebellion and Pandemic, the two who seemed most likely, aren't doing it. Are there any other really decent developers who won't butcher it?
Bokken Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 Free Radical went under. They're probably not doing it anymore.

Bokken Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 True, but I don't have my hopes up. FR actually had a good game in development, but there's no telling what might happen now.
GeneralPloKoon Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 I wonder how much different Star Wars games would be WITHOUT Lucasarts in control.

shukkoku Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 I think our best bet is if Free radical took the project back, with crytech and all
LordJhredmo Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 TSR said: Quote It is LA -LordJhredmo With that in mind, let's think. To TSR/shukkoku: Agreed, considering the circumstances.
Bokken Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 If that's true, then the hope of a good game might not be completely lost. Maybe we'll also get back the land-to-space tech.
joesdomain Posted March 20, 2009 Posted March 20, 2009 I had no problems with Pandemic other than Battlefront II added to much new stuff that was not in the 6 movies. Those Republic and Empire Tanks were a stupid addition. Almost starting to look like a military/futuristic sci-fiction war game with those. Definitely ruined it. I was expecting AT-AT, AT-ST, Probots, Imperial Speeder Bikes, etc. for ground battles. PS2 graphics were about what I was expecting. I would think any new battlefront series game for PS3 would have superior graphics similar or better than The Force Unleashed.

What is Star Wars and Star Wars themed games other than a military/futuristic sci-fi war game/genre?... They had what you wanted, other than Probots, which wouldn't really be that great, unless they somehow called in a Probot instead of recon droid? It still doesn't work. What you said, joe, is what they did... so... what are you saying? -Evix

After all, the movies did take place Quote A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. If you think that they can actually make a series of games using the original content only, then maybe you should do a little research. If they do what you say, then we'll just end up with a repeat of SWBFI & II with better graphics. Thanks, but no thanks.

You're saying the movies aren't military/futuristic? Okay... in appearance. You know the only time they compare times is during the intro, but other than that, it's completely ahead of us in technology, so it is, for lack of a better word, futuristic. I think we can handle just using that term, unless you have a better alternative. You don't need to correct me. I've seen a couple of the movies... (I'm so sorry I used the word futuristic. I'll just say ancient. Does that work better for you, bokken?) Also, who is your last two sentences directed at? If it's me, you've lost me there. Though I think you're talking about/to joe, I agree, regardless.
Bokken Posted March 20, 2009 Posted March 20, 2009 lol the Long time Ago quote was kind of a joke, and the last 2 sentences were @ Joe.
LordJhredmo Posted March 20, 2009 Posted March 20, 2009 Then what do you mean by, "I've got it (w)all wrong" ?
joesdomain Posted March 21, 2009 Posted March 21, 2009 I meant the vehicles and starships that were designed for the previous battlefront games that were not in the movies were terrible looking and did not look like star wars vehicles in my opnion. They look like vehicles of today in design. The whole Republic and Empire tanks is what tees me off especially replacing the AT-ST Walkers that were in Yavin 4 maps in Battlefront 1 with Tanks in Battlefront 2. At least the AT-XT and AT-PT Walkers from other EU material looked star wars style and design.
