Well too bad this has nothing to do with battlefield. It's star wars "battlefront." Timesplitters 4 would be amazing though.

I loved Battlefront and liked the sequel. Maybe some other competent developer with pick up the ball on this one. And yea Fracture is a POS, not Haze bad but bad nonetheless.

I miss the old battlefront games. They were so well done.

Heres to hoping that the game is picked up eventually.

I went to the studios and paid them 50 million dollars to cancel both games and shut the studio down for good.

Your dead to me. The next game of yours that enters my system will be Battlefront III, and it better have this seamless ground to space gameplay that was spoken of.

9 - Reading the story, it seems that UBI and game engine problems contributed to HAZE's downfall
which is quite sad, really.

But on the other hand about it...

an Evil Obi Wan?

Aw, cheez dudes... just stick to the script; not everyone appreciates non-canon tweaks. With all of the Jedis that existed in these stories, I'm sure you guys could have pulled dozens of interesting characters instead of bastardizing ones set in stone.

Star Wars games (and well, everything else) practically write themselves when you keep to the basics if you haven't noticed.

30+ years with the same theme song should have given you guys the first clue.

10 - Dang.
Well...I really hope Sony buys Free Radical up and allows them to make the gamees they want to make as opposed to Ubisoft telling them what to do. That's one thing a lot of devs say about Sony, they always let them have their own freedoms and support them whenever they need it. Heck I wouldn't mind if Microsoft bought it up, but I think they're a litle more strict and controlling. I have absolutely not clue about Timesplitters, so I don't really care about that, but from what I've heard it's really good.

LucasArts is so dumb. The Force Unleashed wasn't a bad game, it just had some bugs (which may have been fixed) so I can see why they might focus on that early on, but FRACTURE!? Haze was better than FRACTURE and I sold Haze on about the 3rd day I had it.

12 - WTF Why?
Why is it when IGN gets a good article like some huge game coming out soon; it would be linked to 360 main page but if there is some bad news like this ... it would be linked on the PS3 page. It always always happens! Like a bad review would be linked to PS3 page while a good review would so happen be linked on 360...
