Still we wait for some news or conformation of Battlefront 3.. The Spike VGA Awards 2010 are approaching rapidly and this has stirred up quite a bit of hope! I remember watching them last year with tons of hope for a Battlefront 3 announcement and I will eagerly do the same this year.

There hasn’t been a whole lot of information on this years upcoming Spike Video Game Awards but according to a tweet by Geoff Keighley (host of Spike TV’s GTTV) there will be some pretty exciting announcements!

“VGA rumors continue. We’ll share two world premiere announcements on Wednesday with many more to come over the next 4 weeks.”

The 2010 Awards will be held Saturday, December 11th in Los Angeles, CA at the L.A. Convention Center.

In other news ngmoco, Inc. has released Star Wars: Imperial Academy for the iPhone, it has been released in Canada (currently downloading) and will be released in the U.S. shortly.

Some info:

    The fires of hope burn wildly in the hearts of BF3 fans. but the question is, is it a cold fire? a false hope that makes us feels better without curing us? Or is it true? and our hopes and dreams will finally be given to us and our hunger sated? Perhaps. Perhaps we shall be blessed with such a gift. the VGA’s are our hope now. thats is all we can do it seems. Hope.

      Oh please, let it happen. please please. I’m still waiting for sw-bf3 since a long time ago. And after so many disappointments I expect an announcement of Star Wars Battlefront 3. I couldn’t hold another disappointment. My feelings say yes this year at the VGA 2010 it will become announced finally! But on the other hand I have a feeling who says it will become a new disappointing and I hope it will not.
      All I can say is please lucas arts give us our beloved sw-bf3.
      I’m afraid it could take a long time like Duke Nukem forever.

    Seems odd that the awards are already here again. Life goes by quick…

    Anyway, I have doubts about the VGA awards giving us any release hope, but I’d be glad to be proven wrong!

    On a related note, the releases have been a bit “meh” this year so I’m interested to see who takes the top prize away. Last year there was solid competition but this year, although good, did not have a defining title.

    IF they will announce new games:
    Lucidity 2, Force Unleashed 3 or Lego SW games.

      What makes it worse is that the post clarifies that the employees were working on an “Unannounced Project”. Man, what a way to kill the mood.

        I know that does stink. I think the project might be Battlefront 3, because I always thought it was a good bet it was being developed internally at LucasArts. If not BF3, then it might be that rumored Star Wars Starfighter game that is supposedly coming out next year

    interesting tidbit with the iphone shooter. I have to pick it up.
    With the VGAs, I honestly have no idea what Lucasarts might announce or if they even are appearing at the VGAs. I will be happy if its a console version of Battlefront or Rep Commando 2 would be good also
