Want to know about a game? Should we buy that new upcoming release? Post your thoughts on new games and ones you have...so others can know whether to buy it or not! All non-SWBF, non-modding topics should go here.

Oh, I guess I should have been more clear. Those are just two links to articles/blogs with information/speculation I haven't seen posted here or heard about yet. I don't think or expect them to contain any official info.

If we were just keeping links in this topic to news about the leaks or other official info, oops sorry.

As far as I'm concerned, everything here is speculation.

Indeed. Since Free Radical is all but shut down it's entirely possible that all that stuff gets canned.

Oops myself, I thought you were stating that those had factual evidence, sorry.

EA acquired them at the same time they got Bioware, about a year ago.

Thanks for backing me up on that one. Anything that is not released or announced officially by Lucasarts is either speculation or someone looking for some desperate attention.

Well let's be honest, how easy is that to replicate for a video? I see why you would approach this with skepticism from a theoretical point of view, but realistically, I think we can take this to be certain.

The video isn't in question. It is a video of actual swbf3 game play. The problem is that the company who created that game and video went bankrupt. Now that entire swbf3 code base may be lost. If another company takes over, they may have to start from scratch.

Apparently it might very well be tossed back to Pandemic.

*Hold Breath* lets see if they can get close enough to what Free Radical had. The first Battlefront games were actually quite similar in a lot of ways besides the few enhancements (e.g. Space battles) but there was never a change in gameplay hopefully they will do better in SWBF3 if it is true they got it.

Yes that is true, the only real improvement was that you could play as the Jedi or hero, you had one more unit to unlock, space battles, and more vehicles. I hope that Pandemic will do as great a job with BF3 as they did with the two previous SWBFs and LotR: Conquest.

So has this been confirmed that Pandemic is now in control of BF3?

And by the way, the G4 video about Pandemic had already been posted.
