GamesIndustry.biz reports that the highly secretive Star Wars Battlefront 3 has been shipped for continued development into the hands of Rebellion, the developer behind PSP hit Star Wars Battlefront: Renegade Squadron following the closure today of UK based developer Free Radical.
Is Star Wars Battlefront 3 coming? Well, the correct answer is yes, no and maybe. It’s been six years since the second instalment, and fans are still waiting for confirmation of another sequel.
Game companies are not mature enough to handle this concept without turning it into a casino.
The remakes of battlefront should have been more simular to the originals. CoD/battlefield reskinned as Star Wars was not the anwser.
Someone has just revealed images proving that there was supposed to be a Star Wars Battlefront III for PSP.
Oh yea battlefront games were on the psp weren't they? And force unleashed as well. Great "handheld" versions those were.
Battlefront III in PSP is just Elite Squadron, was never cancelled. The start up menu is even the same same with X1 and X2.
Clever Star Wars fans have uncovered yet another piece of Free Radical's Star Wars: Battlefront 3, exploring the game's tutorial level.
After all these years, Free Radical's SWBF2 is still the best overall Star Wars game to me. It had everything you could want in big fun team battles, Jedi vs Sith and the space battles were extremely well done giving you the ability to land inside a capital ship's hangar to sabotage and take it down from within.
Free Radical didn’t make Star Wars Battlefront 2. The long defunct Pandemic Games developed the original Battlefront 2.
Thank you sir, I appreciate the correction. Pandemic also developed Mercenaries I believe, right? That game too is a classic!
I wish that IP would make a return. The original was better but its the second one had its moments. You could pretty much level anything in those games if you had the right armaments.
This is just Battlefront Elite Squadron. Cancelling it was the right move, very few changes to Battlefront 3 except for a new forgettable campaign.
They should have been working on Star Wars Battlefront a long time ago. I cant believe they wasted their time on Haze. They should have been half way done with BF by now. Freakin idiot devs.
This game is gonna be awesome. I loved the first two. This game is gonna have a massive online community.
Free Radical closed?
That's ashame as there was alot of potential and talent in that developer.
As for Battle Front 3: I dont know how far the game was in development at Free Radical, but I wonder what in the game would be effected by that switch.
I'm personally hoping for a more in depth unit custimization feature.
I hope all the staff at "Free Radical" manage to land on their feet with new jobs within the industry. It's a shame to see any company have to close their doors. Haze was a bit of a let down, but that was about it, a good developer has been lost in these hard economic times, shame.
I hope SW BF3 gets a 2009 release, its about time for a sequel to come along.
I really want SWB3 i still play 1 & 2.
