Free Radical Lucas Arts game still secret

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.

They actually let that happen? Wow. I'm hoping for somewhat limited customization. Something like the class customization in CoD4 would probably work. Having only one primary weapon and one secondary weapon selectable would keep things sensible, and by that I mean it should not have CoD4's Overkill perk, which is a perk that allows a second primary weapon in place of the secondary. Rocket launchers would, naturally, be a primary weapon, rather than a perk like the RPG, to keep the anti-armor class in. Things like jetpacks and stealth could be on the same perk tier (maybe limited based on the primary weapon?), so you could never have both, and so on.

Visual customization is something I'd really like to see, or at least some way to access a different model for the same class. Preferrably, I'd like to have it somewhat like the way you could make your own Jedi in JKA, within reason. You could pick from a variety of faction specific uniforms (or their individual pieces) for both genders, maybe with variable ranks, heads, headgear, hair, belts, and emblems as extra options. If not that, then I'd at least like to be able to click the class slot a second time and pull up say a Naval Trooper as an alternate to the Stormtrooper, and so on.


I'm in total agreement on system requirements. If someone wants something like Crysis' graphics, it should be purely optional. I don't know what the average system specs are now, or how quickly the new graphics cards are going to take over, but perhaps making DX10 graphics an option would be a good idea? It's an option in HellGate: London, so I'm throwing it out there.

Ok, here's my prediction:

BF3 will coincide with the release of the new Clone Wars movie
http://www.filmschoolrejects.com/news/s ... leaked.php

It'll feature all the battles and caharacter of the new movies, as well as the old. It's my prediction that this is what Free Radical is working on.

Well, that's a pretty good prediction, but if that's the case, then I certainly hope that the graphics aren't cartoon-ish like that movie.

I was thinking the exact same thing. It would make sense, that's the same thing they did with Battlefront II and Episode III.

I hope that it comes out with the next gen tech and does not stink. :)

I hope it ends up without RS customisation, but more like Battlefield 2142 customization. You go further, you get more. YOu can start as any unit, with basic weapons, and as you get beetter, you get better stuff, but its limited for each unit.

I'd actually prefer no customazation at all. The classes type of set-up from Battlefront I and II is good, although I do expect new units, of course.

Imagine the new engine! :shock: You could have 30 units per team.......

The sad thing is, however, we'll have to transfer all the BF2 mods and maps over, but since the engine will be better, we'll have to improve them! :runaway:

If SWBF3 is in development it's not being done by Pandemic, which means none of the maps will port over. They will have to be re-made from scratch. Which is why I probably won't mod SWBF3.

I just love the title of this thread:
