I just saw the leaked footage of this game on Youtube, in addition to the leaked concept art, and I have to say this game looks freakin' sweet. The graphics look very next-ten, and the addition of an actual story mode (putting aside BFII's 501st campaign), complete with a light or dark side choice, is pretty awesome. It's too bad the seamless land-air-space maps shown in the footage won't be in there, since Free Radical owned the rights to the code, and they just went under. Good thing Lucasarts changed it's developers over to Pandemic and Rebellion.

Anyway, has anyone else here heard about this? What do you guys think of it?

I won't be, BFII was addicting enough. I learned my lesson last time.

Well, IGN has declared this game dead, and seeing how Free Radical did go under, I was going to believe them, at least until I saw this:

Is there hope yet for this game? Perhaps. December 12 will be an interesting day.

Have you heard of Star Wars Battlefront Elite Squadron, maybe thats the game,just watered down,I'm sure it will be great but not as great as it could've been since SW:Battlefront always seemed to work better on the consoles and PC.

Yeah,it's not very good. PSP Battlefront games usually aren't.

True I feel the game developers should know better.

Well, you have to think about it from a profit-earning point of view. Slapping the name Battlefront on a mediocre game is sure to get you some quick cash.

I've done some digging, and it appears Crytek, the developers of the 2007 Game of the Year Crysis, purchased Free Radical, and currently has control over all its properties, intellectual or otherwise. This means Crytek, one of the greatest up and coming game studios in the world, could actually be producing Battlefront 3! This is just an inference, mind you, but it is an exciting possibility nonetheless.

EDIT: Never mind. I spoke with a Crytek representative, and he confirmed that BF3 is not being produced by Crytek.

Of course it will, but these days business rarely cares about the long term. It's sad, really. Still, there is hope for this game, and knowing how big Battlefront is, I don't think Lucasarts will deprive gamers of a big release for too long.

But that is mainly how they fall from grace

True, but again, businesses rarely care about the long term. BF3's only hope is the Spike VGAs on December 12. If it's announced, then we will finally have another really cool Star Wars game.

If not Lucas will have to deal with a big wave of disappointment.

Yes, but Lucasarts has faced disappointment many times before. I don't think they're too concerned about what gamers want, or they wouldn't have made Star Wars Galaxies so dull, or they would have polished BF2 more. Again, it's really all about profits.

Longtail is ALWAYS watching!

Despite if they make the game or not isn't a big deal for me...it all depends on the amount of time and content they put into it. If they make this game bigger and better than BFII then, I'll probably babble on for weeks about the game before it hits store (When a date is announced that is). However if they drop the ball and make it less than worth my time then it will be quickly forgotten.

But nothing is set in stone yet and I am looking forward to the VGA on December 12 without a doubt hoping that they have some news on this potential gaming gem.
