Battlefront III Tech May Die With Free Radical

Did you see the leaked alpha footage of Star Wars: Battlefront IIIover the weekend? Like me, you might have been impressed by the technology behind the game that allowed players to fly directly from the ground to outer space without any cutscenes. However, that technology will die with the end of developer Free Radicals involvement in the project, according to Spong.

The site supposedly carries word from a former Free Radical employee who says: "It's my understanding that the game's been passed to a new developer, but the tech that allowed you to fly from the ground, to air, to orbit, to space dies with Free Radical's involvement."

The employee added that the new developer will be making it a cut-scene every time you want to transition from ground to space.

Battlefront IIIs current home is yet to be confirmed, though rumors point to Pandemic, creators of the original title.
