Star Wars Battlefront 3

Shreddhead · 12-16-2011, 04:25 AM

So i know this thread is kind of coming out of know where, but ive wanted to know this for a long time...

Why don't they release a Star Wars Battlefront 3 game??

SWBf2 is one of my all time favorite ps2 games, and imo one of, if not the best star wars game. There is just something so awesome about mounting a rebel assault on land or in space, or storming a rebel stronghold with legions of stormtroopers. And when you throw jedi and sith lords into the mix the game gets even better!

I cannot, for the life of me, understand why there has not been a second sequel for this franchise. With the updated graphics and technology, practically every aspect of the first two could be improved upon. bigger battles, smarted ai, improved online play...

If anyone here feels the same way, or has any ideas or thoughts as to why there has not been a release, please share.

I loved both Battlefront games and I'd kill for a new one, but I'm still not getting my hopes up.

After all the bullsh*t over the Free Radical leaks and layoffs and Rebellion getting the game and having it pulled as well, I feel like Lucasarts may have just canned the project, at least for now. At least we know it was well into development when it all fell apart, so the idea of a 3rd game isn't out of the question. However, all that sh*t went down in like 2008. That's a long time without an announcement, then again, a lot of the FRD layoffs took their propriety engine work with them when they left, including that super impressive sounding ground to space combat stuff, so maybe there just wasn't a ton left when they got pulled off the project.

ya i remember seeing a little trailer from some con and hearing about that land to space stuff. but ya, i just cant believe it hasnt been resurrected in the last 3 years. I cant say i know how well the first two games actually sold, but almost all of my "star wars fan" friends loved them, the ones who didnt were more geared towards the jedi knight games.

well heres to hoping that the project may one day live again, i know they'll have my money if they do.

This is literally the only Star Wars news I get excited about.

*TigerClaw* · 04-17-2015, 02:23 PM

They are also gonna release a Free DLC, That ties into Star Wars: The Force Awakens, It's called The Battle of Jakku, It explains why we see that downed Star Destroyer in the new trailer.

There's a lot more than that. There's the downed Imperial Star Destroyer, but then what looks absolutely like an upside down Executor-class Super Star Destroyer... it's what Han is flying the Millennium Falcon into. Also there's behind the scenes shots of a downed AT-AT Walker being used as some kind of bazaar on presumably the same world.

The hubbub is that that's where Luke had his big "moment" before he went into hiding. Like, pulled a whole bunch of Star Destroyers down from the sky and such.

Well this new canon Expanded Universe is going to get really messy very quickly. It just started and you already need a guide to understand it. Kind of cool that the DLC ties in to the movies but this isn't the first time it ever happens; Shadows of the Empire tells the story between ESB and RotJ and let's not forget the Clone Wars initiative where all of the Clone Wars was explained through different media including various video games between the releases of AotC and RotS. This whole "the old EU doesn't count at all" does bring some problems with things that are referenced in the actual movies, sure they'll be small details but they're there.

*TigerClaw* · 10-07-2015, 11:56 AM

The beta for Star Wars Battlefront is available on the PS4 through PSN+ right now

The PC version of the beta can be pre-loaded through Origin right now, and will unlock on Oct 8 around 1pm.
https://www.origin.com/en-us/store/f...gsite=starwars

The beta ends on Oct 12.

*CyberCubed* · 10-12-2015, 12:40 PM

The beta is OK but I doubt I'll be buying the game. Its also getting a $50 season pass so to hell with this.

*TigerClaw* · 10-12-2015, 12:44 PM

They extended the beta til Tuesday.

Waaaah! Everything should be free! I'm entitled to everything! Waaaaah!

*Redeemer* · 10-12-2015, 08:15 PM

Honestly not too impressed with the beta. I doubt I get it, unless my friends convince me.

*Cure* · 10-12-2015, 08:19 PM

I had tons of fun in the beta. Definitely getting it.

*TigerClaw* · 10-20-2015, 01:23 PM

Han Solo, Leia and Emperor Palpatine has been confirmed as playable characters.

The game has a $50 season pass. I get the feeling we're getting a bare bones release and everything else is being held behind a DLC paywall.

So to get the full experience you have to pay $110 for the game with the $59.99 base game, the $50 season pass, and don't forget you have to pay for online too via either PSN or Xbox Live.

God I miss the days when games were released complete back in the early 2000's.

Peanut · 10-20-2015, 10:58 PM

Battlefield is known to have really good season passes, so...maybe wait and see before sh*tting out your awful opinions?

We're not talking WB's Batman season passes here.

Check out this new live action ad for Battlefront, it plays on our nostalgia for Star Wars.

Gross.

The most groan inducing commercial I've seen in a long time. Nothing but pandering bullsh*t "Feels" for man children.

Peanut · 10-21-2015, 05:30 PM

Sony is the new king of pandering trash, unfortunately.
