Battlefront III in the making? – Again

LucasArts has hired an old friend, Tim Lingo. Lingo worked on previous Star Wars titles such as the Starfighter series, Jar Jar’s Revenge, and Republic Commando. He then left the studio and went off to help make the Tomb Raider games.

SWBF3 should use the cryengine 3, have bot battles, and no playable jedi's like battlefront 1.

[metsgaming]

if they do this they have to keep the game types from the past games. When i say that i mean the ability to play locol coop. Keep the set up of having a a number of troops in reserves etc. With the regualer mp im not sure it would work well that way. They definitly need to have online coop with the ability to play the way you could in the old ones.

[Wenis]

Jedi Assault was the best game mode IMO. Although it was only on Mos Eisley (the ps2 version at least), for some reason it just never got old for me.

[KDubyah]

No no, in my opinion, I prefer they keep Jedi's in the game ..
The Jedi's are cool, they add a new dimension to the games.

[antz1104]

a LOL, um...the Jedi's were from Battlefront 2, and the best level in the game was the Cantina on Tatooine where you could have JUST heroes as playable characters.

This would be awesome if its true, bring back my favorite Star Wars series!

[Jio]

I agree with most of what you said, though I really love playing as a jedi. If it uses new technology, it would be fun killing dozens of soldiers with a jedi.

[Eiffel]

I'd rather keep the Jedi, one addition that made SWBF2 so great.

[tigertron]

I agreed with what you said, but then you said no Jedi...I loved playing as the Jedi/Sith, except for the constant force grabbing.

[theonlylolking]

It is really fun playing as a jedi/sith but up against one is not fun.

[DeadlyFire]

They need to make Jedi more like Jedi in Moviebattles 2 mod. Balanced so they can take hits and die. What the modders have done with that mod is amazing.

[xyxzor]

The force choke was the worst lol

[CrimsonEngage]

Why use Cryengine 3? Why not Frostbite 2? :D

[KDubyah]

Ya know.. destruction in the Battlefront games would be awesome!
Or, so I think, anyway. Just imagine the possibilities!

Like, in Battlefront 2, when you could tie up those walkers..
I forget there names, but they are tall and walk on two legs ..
Imagine roping one up, having it fall over on a building, and..
It collapsing the building onto the heads of enemy soldiers! :D

[Vherostar]

I wonder if Crytek can still pick the deal up for this since they own FR now who were working on the game before they went bottom up.

[clarick01]

Doesn't sound too promising, but god I hope its true. Battlefront is one of my favorite Star Wars titles.

[xyxzor]

I think everyone knows it's being made. The question is whether it's all being developed in-house by Lucas Arts, or if Free Radical is still creating it. Hard to tell at this point.

[DarkSpawnClone]

"or if Free Radical is still creating it" free rad is no more,so no there not making it,not a chance..i just hope if they are making it they don't screw it up :/ i miss SWBF

[xyxzor]

Well they technically got bought out by Crytek. So your partially right.

[DarkSpawnClone]

nah man there gone,and the game that we seen the leaked footage was scrapped when Lucas arts pulled the project what was left of it went in to that psp game that rebellion made,it left a bad taste in there mouths so i don't think they will work together and when it was bought out most who worked there left or laid off apparently ,i wouldn't count on crytek picking it up but who knows,there are so many legal issues involved in that situation it would probably be easier for them to use a different dev personally it would be my dream for dice to pick it up Battlefield and battlefront are similar enough with vehicles and classes ect i think it would work out well imo.

[Mucudadada]

I am dying for some Battlefront 3, but he could be working on anything. I hope it is BF3, but it's far-fetched based on this information.

[xyxzor]

I wouldn't say it's far-fetched considering his history.

[Jio]

The story of Battlefront III just makes me angry at Lucasarts. How can they keep shelling out money on the Force Unleashed franchise when this game clearly deserves it more.

[Capt-FuzzyPants]

I hope so. Its one of my my favorite shooting games. It would be amazing with the new online capabilities of the current consoles.

[Firebird360]

This is the game we need! I would literally cry tears of joy if it comes out.

[KDubyah]

One could only imagine! And, I sure hope so!
I love the Battlefront games, awesome franchise.

[Raven_Nomad]

I loved SWBF2, I was really pissed off when the third games was cancelled because the company flopped after making the hated Haze title.

My Clan on SWBF2 was epic, still play with most of those guys now days but on other games, would love to see a third game made right.

[rezzah]

Those fools better not cancel it again.

[krazykombatant]

I would love BF3, would be the shit out of games like Black ops in my book. I will agree with a comment above on how for unleashed gets sequels and games like BF2 and KOTOR don't... I would love a game a star wars game with the story of ME and the gameplay of something like AC, a bit more challenging of course, and have something of the likes if you have a lightsaber you WILL kill people 1 in go. We just need George to die and hopefully star wars will get good sequels.

[polarbear]

If not BF3, I'd be completely fine with Republic Commando 2

[ERMAC_]

If they do, make sure to make the gunships playable on ground maps.

Sucked that only Hoth had aircraft.

[SageHonor]

People still play BF2.. Awesome game

[cyclonus007]

Wait, there was a game called Jar Jar's Revenge?

[Mutley416]

yah...I got wood...BF3 would change my non-life...lol

[Silentmerc3nary]

Much rather have Republic Commando 2. Badass!

[Emilio_Estevez]

OMG OMG OMG.....Hope this is true....BF is my fave.

[Kamin0]

Battlefront would be great, and I personally would LOVE a Battlefront 3. But, c'mon how many of us played and beat Republic Commando?? The end had me wanting more. But battlefront 3 would probably succeed more. On a count that every FPS and/or shooters is compared to CoD

[DarkSpawnClone]

yeah i hope it comes out some time in 2012 would be a good Christmas present ..i would also love a new republic commando hell give us kotor as well but the way Lucas arts has been lately I'm not getting my hopes up
