1 - Well, now that that video was leaked
If the retail version of Star Wars Battlefront 3 doesn't look as good as what Free Radical had designed, gamers and media will crucify the game and it wont sell worth cr@p. Unfortunately, this "how can we do it for less money" attitude with publishers will continue to rear its ugly head. I call it the "Wii Effect" why make good, quality, hi-def, AAA titles when you can just push out shovelware that will make more money. Hell, even Nintendo does it now (Wii Music, anyone?)

1.1 - whatever, it couldn't have been as mediocre than Fracture...
I'd rather they'd release BF3 and get criticism, then release such boring dribble. That game was a pathetic attempt at beating the halo-clone cash cow, and it failed miserably. Fracture was a waste of resources and man-power, just like the remake (butchering) of Star Wars episodes IV-VI

2 - This is hilarous...
Instead of releasing guaranteed hit like Battlefront 3, the geniuses at Lucas Arts released Fracture? Some one put this company out of its misery.

They also released The Force Unleashed.
Fracture was rubbish, but back in the day Lucasarts were famous for great games that had nothing to do with Star Wars, so rather than blaming them for not just doing the "sure hit" thing (like they have been for ohhhh, I don't know, the last 15 years?), give them credit for not just milking the Star Wars universe.
Hopefully, fracture wont put them off and they'll actually make a decent game next time. One that isn't star wars.

4.1 - I don't think it would be a direct port...
I am sure the developer would have moved some assets from the PS2 project and just built upon it. Not just move the exact game over to the PS3/360... I think people are just trying to make this out to be something it isn't.

4.2 - Well according to the article
It seems like the game is going to land back at Pandemic where it started. This is of course rumors, but I'd rather they do it than Rebellion. Ideally the group that left Free Radical would continue to work on it but thats not gonnna happen so Pandemic is the next best thing.

Rebellion made Rouge Squadron for PSP. SUCH a let down. I pray they do not get their hands on SW:BF3. I know Pandemic can bring the magic back.

They never said port, they said basis. Just because it was on PS2 doesn't mean that some gameplay aspects weren't good or anything.

Rebellion did a real good job with starwars on the psp. So kudos to them. Also, this might mean that the ps3 will have the same quality as the 360 because of the close relationship between sony and Rebellion.

Now I think It`s a good Idea-
Battlefront was one of the best games the Ps2 offered(online)
with over 6 million copies sold, it`s a winner and has a large fan base-

My friends will drool when they hear this...

Depends on the games I know Zdeamon is one of the only doom ports keeping the classic DooM alive for people of the next generation.
