Free Radical was bought by Crytek, but Lucas Arts still owns all the Battlefront stuff... so no, it isn't.

That's kind of ironic, though. Rebellion is indirectly responsible the FR went under. They made a cheaper offer to Lucas Arts for the PS360 version, and now turns out they can't handle it. ... Good job, guys!

It would be funny if game got flipped by around to Crytek to work on it. It will exist at some point though I hope and not turn into what KOTOR III turned into. It was canned and a new MMO is in its place. I hope BattleFront 3 does exist and with all classes in the game. Including Jedi/Sith class with limitations and upgrades.

Either way if BattleFront 3 fails then it proves that Lucasarts is a washed up company. After years of great games they can't even get someone to work on a new game for them. Indiana Jones and the promised great game engine that was on somehow vanished into vapor. Now it looks like it might happen again, but I know they want to make BattleFront 3.

What they do should is make this game a 360 exclusive and take advantage of the motion sensor Zcam imagine doing the force with your hands. No controller needed.

IT not an Eye toy clone look.www. 3dzcam.com and tell ps3 eye toy can do this.

they were great; it was the first game that captured the atmosphere of the Star Wars universe without having to get to know characters and locals that you never would care about in the first place.

People still play SWF I and II on the PS2 (including me).

The first two Battlefront games were great. I still play Battlefront II from time to time. I personally would love a next-gen version.

Battlefront 1 and 2 are to me two of the best shooters of the last generation.

A good balance of vehicles and classes. Pretty large maps, and space combat.

Battlefront 1 could not be beat though.

I think BF 1&2 were great, and I am eagerly waiting for a HD version. Doesn't even need to much of different game, as long as they get the same with pimped visuals, I am already sold.

It is my opinion then, sir, you do not like Star Wars or good 3rd person shoot em ups'.

Mooks, Starwars battlefront was on the PS2 and Xbox.

And they both ran off of dedicated Servers and they were both no Auto Aim. Not sure about the xbox but you could also run a Battlefront PS2 game server off your PC. those were some good times.

MS introduced the xbox with a built in Hard drive and Console online gaming was born. There were tons of clans and competitive Console gaming was born. Sonic Army was a gaming site that a lot of Starwars Battlefront clans went to join gaming ladders.

Did you look at the original source though? The blogger is obviously an insider at Lucas Arts, hes posted several assets that were never revealed anywhere else, like animation frames and back drops of the canceled PS3/360 Indy games...

Yeah I see what you mean, and I'm not saying there is'nt a posibility of truth, but in todays market this move of PS2 PSP only would be devistating to LA (sales wise). Even the writer of the original source says it's just a rumor and makes the statement

"So what will happen now? You will get a PS2 and PSP version later this year developed by Rebellion. Next-gen versions are in limbo. Will Rebellion be able to deliver them or will LucasArts look out for a new developer? Or might they even take the Indiana Jones route? It would not make me wonder if they asked for a cheap Wii port of Rebellion's PSP version."

I believe and it's just speculation that another developer (Pandemic) has the next-gen version. Although it may be true and another developer may be working on the SWBF4 while LA and Rebellion are going to push an already outdated title. Either way, I want to see a next-gen SWBF game announced in June at E3. It can be SWBF3 or 4 as long as it's something. We'll all find out soon enough.
