Subject: Why Battlefront 3 was cancelled.

Proud Spartan II, COG soldier, Hero of time, and crowbar wielding scientist.

Star Wars: Battlefront III has long been the subject of great rumor and speculation. Despite numerous and detailed attestments to its existence and development, LucasArts never confirmed the game was in fact in production. The most recent claim about the project came from Free Radical Design cofounder Steve Ellis, who said last week that Battlefront III was 99 percent complete at the time of its cancellation. But this claim has been contested.


"This 99 percent complete stuff is just bull-blam!-," a former LucasArts employee who wished to remain nameless told GameSpot. "A generous estimate would be 75 percent of a mediocre game."

The source also took issue with Free Radical cofounder David Doak and audio director Graeme Norgate's claims this summer that LucasArts effectively sabotaged development of Battlefront III. "There are two sides to every story," the source said.

And an OP edit, because everybody's missing the point.

ME2 was known for stupidity and being retarded

That's just what LucasArts wants you to think.

What house has a rocket pod, has legs, and has a long narrow barrel that probably shoots something powerful?

Sounds like you're describing the lower half of my body, actually.

How many threads are going to be made about this?

note he's a former employee. therefore he's just mad he was fired and is hating on the game's awesomeness.

Break the windowsill

Whatever the story is, screw LucasArts for not making BF3 and Rogue Squadron 4 and making crap games like Force unleashed

Funny story.

I'd be more responsive to this if we didn't have many other reasons to think that LucasArts just doesn't care.

Nobody cares about anyone else's opinion - be it mine, yours, or a cult of angry star wars nerds - when they are enjoying what they enjoy.

Everyone cares about opinions, that's why we socialize on a forum with strangers.

I don't believe it. Of course LucasArts would try to cover its own ass.

Please stop complaining about the 'death of a loved one' it's my job. They probably deserved it anyways. Here's a warning, if you keep making pentagrams out of the neighbors livestock I will personally come to your house and kill everyone you love. Now leave me alone, I got to get back to work.

Looks like Battlefront 3, was never meant to be.

First: This is old

OT: I doubt it was "99%" cause if so they would have announced the game and whatnot, since publishers go up to 4-6 weeks polishing the game before shipping out to retailers for release. Like someone already said in here, probably just a former employee that's mad.

  • 12.03.2012 5:32 PM PDT

Oh, the game was only mostly completed. Well, never mind then!

That's the point.
This thread is about how IT WASN'T DONE.

Well LucasArts alienated their fan base, so I'm gonna go with the guys from Free Radical's point of view.

If LucasArts cared about Star Wars fans and money, then we'd have sequels to Battlefront 2, KotoR2, and Republic Commando. Instead, we get the Force Unleashed, Lego Star Wars, and crappy Kinect games.

Can you imagine if Activision owned the Battlefront IP? We'd be on Battlefront 6 by now...
