Star Wars Battlefront III still in development, says actor

Battlefront3.net writes:

"So, I received some promising news this morning in my email, which may bring a couple smiles to a few Battlefront 3 fans. On December 10th, I came across a link on the LucasArts forums (Thanks: robpolman) which included a link to an actor (Chris Marazzo) who has recently done some work with LucasArts on the secretly rumored Battlefront 3.

I thought this was very interesting, so I took the liberty of sending Chris an email. Basically, I asked him if he had the time to discuss what he had done with LucasArts and if he could disclose some information on the Battlefront 3 project.

So, this morning, while checking my email, I had a glorious response from Chris.

Here's what he had to say:"

So, the game has changed titles.

Will it basically be like a Battlefront game or have they just scrapped the idea and started a new game titled Empire at War: Forces of Corruption. To me it seems unlikely that they would remove such a well-known name like Battlefront and call it that.

Still excited though.

It hasn't changed titles. I guess Empire at War: Forces of Corruption (which has been out for a few years now, its an RTS) was originally called Battlefront 3. But he also said that the 'real' Battlefront 3 is still in development. The actor must have worked as a voice actor on both titles

edit: his IMDB page says he was actually a casting director for Empire at War back in 2006. So he must be a casting director for Battlefront III, and not a voice actor.

Was hoping Free Radical was still making it (cus then it'd probably be on the CryEngine)

TheColbertinator5267d ago

SW battlefront 3 using the CRYengine would certainly make me a happy panda

cyguration5267d ago

is probably shuffling around the idea of trying to get the best bang for the buck from a dev that will give them good returns on a popular franchise.

Companies these days are concerned less with quality and more with $ quantity upon release.

I thoroughly enjoyed the first Star Wars:Battlefront, I hope this one turns out alright.

A Matter Of Trust: What The Game Industry Should Do To Win Gamers Back

Skewed and Reviewed have written an Opinion Piece covering issues in the gaming industry, how current issues were issues years ago, and what can be done to help restore consumer trust.

Nothing. It's up to the gamers to stop consuming content from companies that they don't agree with.

Garethvk2d ago

How do you know if you agree with it or not unless you play it? Which without conventions forces gamers to rely on trailers. Perhaps Demos should be made more frequently. But companies need to do better as well.

anast2d ago

Wait until release. Watch Gameplay. Exercise patience.

Garethvk2d ago

But is that not what they have now? Tons of gameplay or are you talking about watching actual gamers play it versus the trailers and streams? The big issue is that some companies pay streamers and influencers and they create content but for me; that is hardly a fair, unbiased, and factual look at a game.

Get rid of the suits in the industry and job done!!

Garethvk2d ago

They usually are attached to the money sadly. It would be nice to have gamers in charge but you have so much money invested that business people are needed. Hence the issue; you need people who know business but are also gamers who know have an eye to the community. It sounds simple in theory that if you give gamers quality games that they want to play; money will be made. But that is not always so.
