Yeah, it would have been an epic game. Free Radical made nothing but the best (except Haze, but that title was rushed).

Those are some cool animations. Nice find!

ok, now i lol'd at the hate.

Haha, that is pretty funny; And halfway through it article it says:

*Apparently some people have been accusing me of stealing the gamestop link from some german Battlefront 3 website, which I didn’t, it was posted on my forums by someone, go look for yourself*

Here’s a linkback to them anyway -> SWBF3.de

So I'm wondering; If they didn't steal the "GameStop" link from that website, why do they feel the need to link back? Seems to be a very trustworthy website.

Trustworthy in the sense that they don't want to make waves with other sites anyways. All I'm saying is that you should treat anything you hear there as a rumor or a joke - so far nothing solid regarding SWBF3 has been posted.

I think we will be seeing most of Free Rad's BF3 content in some way, shape, or form. Lucasarts Don't seem like the kind of people to let huge amounts of content like that go.

I personally think they bought up most of Free Rad's assets and finished up the game themselves. Then, they wouldn't need a middle man (ala Pandemic) for finishing up the game.

Again, this is just wishful thinking because I have loved every bit of stuff that has been leaked for the game, and I don't want to see it fall by the wayside. 'Cause chances are, if the stuff was remade, it wouldn't be as good as the first go around because it was rushed just to get it out in a hurry. Free Rad's quality of work looked excellent.

It would be good if TFU 2 was a bit more realistic and added blood and dismemberment, but I suppose George wouldn't allow that because then Lucasarts would have to put up the rating to 18 and lose a core part of their customers. I just feel all Lucasarts titles are too geared towards young kids, and there's nothing for the mature gamer in the vain of MWF2 for example.

Sabers cauterize the wounds, so blood is unnecessary, but dismemberment could be fun (Just like Jedi Knight II and Acadamy)

I remember one of the developers mentioning in a development wedoc or something that when they first implemented DMM, stormtroopers were literally blown apart by a strong force push. Needless to say, that's one reason they toned down DMM.

Although it is fun to run around slicing stormtroopers apart in the Jedi Knight games, I don't think it's necessary and doubt it will ever happen in today's games since a huge part of the audience for Star Wars games is younger in age.

Lucasarts would have already owned the assets anyway, as Lucas Ltd owns the Star Wars IP. The only thing Free Radical owned was the engine.

I was aware of that, but I chose the wrong word for "assets." By this I meant either license or buy the engine.

Still a huge stretch for them to do that. If they do make a new engine, I just hope it has seamless ground to space like it was shown in the leaked footage. That looked great.

Funny new thing just popped up on the Lucasarts Battlefront forums, somebody came into their little speculation chat on one of their random Battlefront 3 blogs and posted some info, and they are believing every word of it! What gullible little people, it really is sad.

I've seen that thread. It is funny how rumour gets out of hand and builds and builds... in the end it can only lead to disapointment. I won't believe anything until it's officially anounced by Lucasarts.

It is obvious that Elite Squadron is essentially SBF3 for the PSP and DS(?) since it has taken the plot of SWBF3 and mechanics, but did Free Radical have anything to do with Elite Squadron?

Nope, other than sharing the story line. That's happening pretty often anymore. Multiple development teams working on different versions of the game for different platforms.

What's the storyline?

The X1-X2 thing, they're twins cloned from a Jedi Master and one turns evil, pretty cliché but it's better than TFU with the uber-powerful Jedi thing they have going on.

X1- X2 thing.... Yeaah, right....

i hate the Elite Squadrons storyline . It takes the star wars story, rips it up, feed it to a wild animal and then put it on the sun to burn to cinders.

The whole story ruins the idea of star wars; the clone where made up of jango not of jedi, Other wise darth sidious should of ordered force sensitve clones instead of the normal clones. its just totally stupid. But the forceunleashed had a flowing story line and a cool idea of how the rebels started as that wasnt explored. yet the powerful jedi is kind of stupid but is a nice touch....

Still, cloning is a huge thing in Star Wars -- it's not just a Jango/Republic thing

i meant for the clone wars not the empire ect...

It was still huge. It's not like Jango Fett was the first person ever to be cloned.
