I know, I know.. finally a post right? Sorry folks, but there hasn’t been a drop of anything to really post about lately. I was thinking about adding in some general Star Wars news or general Star Wars gaming news, what would everyone think about that?
Thanks to ‘persiana’ (from the LucasArts forums) for the heads up, some new information regarding Crytek UK (formally Free Radical) has surfaced. Apparently, they will be announcing something big com this years E3, which will take place June 7-9, 2011 at the Los Angeles Convention Center.
I am presuming this will most like be Timesplitters 4 but one never knows! According to vg247.com:
Speaking to Develop, Yerli said it had “ambitious plans” for the TimeSplitter developer that was once known as Free Radical.
“I think at E3 this year – or just after – we are going to make a big announcement that I think people will be happy about,” he said.
“They were very pleased with their contribution to Crysis 2 [Note: Crytek UK made the multiplayer component - JC], and we have very ambitious plans for Crytek UK. The studio is now up to 85 people, with nice new offices. The main thing is that the team are having a lot of fun – that’s the most important thing to us.”
Yerli added the “UK scene” would be “very pleased” with what Crytek UK was working on.
Crytek UK has said in the past it’ll start work on either a new IP or TimeSplitters 4, a project the studio worked on previously as Free Radical.
It could very well be Battlefront 3 as Free Radical was working on both Battlefront 3 and Timesplitters 4 before they shut down.
Opinions?



Its either Timesplitters 4 or Battlefront 3. Either possibility has me pumped. While I think Battlefront 3 is a longshot…I wonder if they still have their version of BF3 lying around? It was 2 years of work so maybe it was saved. You never know.
Even though LucasArts had no rights to have Free Radicals work, Crytek might have bought it instead. Interesting…
I hope that it is battlefront 3. I would much rather have Crytek UK than Sparks Unlimited
BF3 would wipe its with cod, and i love cod. if the game doesnt come out then that means someone needs to be fired and possibly executed by fire. and if the HUGE PROJECT being shown at E3 is unleashed 3 i will HATE lucas arts
I believe if its been around Crytek for two years Battlefront 3 is likely been rebuilt from scratch on CryEngine 3.0
I am in for TS 4 or BF 3 though.
Lets face it, BF3 will NEVER come out. LucasArts has waited too long and we (the fans) have waited and waited for one game to come out! LucasArts has wasted 5-6 years (and according to the rumors 2-3 Developers) to make one game that could possibly beat Battlefront 1 and Battlefront 2 put together in sales. Sounds like LucasArts had given up the BF series (The Best selling Star Wars game) along time ago.
Although I don’t think BF3 will ever come out. It doesn’t mean I don’t want it to come out and it doesn’t mean that I won’t be looking on this site anymore and it sure as h*** doesn’t mean I won’t stop hoping that one day Battlefront 3 will come out. When will LucasArts will get their a**es in gear and make BF3, I don’t know but what I do know is. I want Battlefront 3 to be on GameStop’s shelfs this year.
you and your negativity can go affect someone else i am being optomistic and saying battlefront 3 will be revealed but not by crytek by spark while crytek will unveil timesplitters. So you and your poopy attitude can leave my optomisim alone!!! oh Nitro thanks for posting i got scared something happened to you or your computer or something whatev thanks dude!!!
That’s the spirit
no I think BF3 is done too its over, I mean look we are holding on to little bitty rumors that aren’t ever going to be true!
go away
Thank you…
i understand that but think about it people hold onto little rumors for games like cod and they get thrown out there and end up being crappy, while bf3 has no info on it, we would be alot better off with it taking along time. I’ve been waiting for doom 4 for along time but i realized that doom would be alot better off if more time was put into it like doom 3 for instance took 9 years to be released i still to this day play that because they put so much effort into it! Anyway i’m saying this because i would rather enjoy the best mother f***ing game to date when i turn 25 in about 10 years(lol) than waste the title to get it out faster!
You have no idea what your talking about. I bet you LucasArts are secretly making it with Spark Unlimited. When the game gets released, sales will go through the roof. You should study business or something.
complety agree!!!
That would be smart cuz BATTLEFRONT WAS THE BEST SELLING STAR WARS GAME EVER AND IF THEY IMPROVED IT, THEY WOULD LITERALLY MAKE MILLIONS POSSABLY BILLIONS!!!!!!!!!
But they wont do that cuz thier Complete morons!!!!
exactly
agreed
I have no idea what I’m talking about? Ha maybe you should look in the mirror sometime.
The thing is LA HASN’T released BF3 after 5 years since BF2 came out. What makes you think they’ll do it now? If LA has enough money to make those horrible Star Wars Lego games why aren’t they making BF3?
As I said I want it to come out but I just don’t see it happening. LA is too greedy to make a game that is worth anything.
And if you don’t agree with me then thats fine, I never asked anyone to. I thought this is where you can share your thoughts not get Trolled and Flamed like hell.
Go QQ to your mom and play the old BF2 game I have better games and stuff to do.
Unfortunately I think he’s right with five years gone by I really think it’s gone it is a real shame but these things do just happen sometimes
Alot of game sequels took quite a while for them to be released. One notable one being StarCraft II which took around 10 years I believe.
Yea! I mean, look at the Red Alert games! (They were alright, but i used to love them!)
It was Eight years I believe inbetween #2 and #3.
I see I’m the only optimistic one here! I think Bf3 will come out this year, probably September. All the rumors are pointing towards a reveal at E3. If this game is really in the later stages of development, then why wouldn’t LucasArts finish it. But I’m not saying Crytek UK has it. It seems much more likely that Spark Unlimited is finishing it. They’ve already said that they’re working on a high profiled game. Anyway, can’t wait for E3! Until then, it’s back to playing BF2 on my PS2.
what rumors are pointing towards and E3 reveal if there aren’t any rumors floating around?
If you are the only optimistic one here, I’m a peanut.
(FYI, Im allergic!)
BF3 will come out. HAVE HOPE YOUNG ONES! Although, I’m not sure i should call any of you young ones… look at me! You cant… oh well!
Proof of Star Wars: Battlefront III…………. 2011 PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE WATCH THIS VIDEO!!!!! ( on youtube ) IT IS ACTUAL PROOF OF STAR WARS BATTLEFRONT 3!!!! THIS VID WAS MADE BY…TuggieGameReviews…..IT IS LEGIT!!!! ITS NOT ONE OF THOSE FAKE TERRIBLE VIDEOS WITH THE TERRIBLE POP MUSIC… THIS IS REAL!!!!! BY THE WAY VISIT SPARK UNLIMITED WEBSITE FOR MORE INFO!!!!! they say they are working on a SCIENCE FICTION GAME! visit their site
Meh.. not a bad video, but it’s mostly old news.. nothing we didn’t already know.
lol i thaught i was gunna get rick rolled bro!!!! but like nitro said i kinda knew all that
using mostly caps makes me not want to trust you. no offence, its only a tip
Huh… Did I get Flamed enough?
And no I won’t leave cause as I said,
“Although I don’t think BF3 will ever come out. It doesn’t mean I don’t want it to come out and it doesn’t mean that I won’t be looking on this site anymore and it sure as h*** doesn’t mean I won’t stop hoping that one day Battlefront 3 will come out. When will LucasArts will get their a**es in gear and make BF3, I don’t know but what I do know is. I want Battlefront 3 to be on GameStop’s shelfs this year.”
So take your Trolling self else where or actually agree with me.
you mad bro?
Obvious troll is obvious…
HAY SABOTEUR
WHAT ABOUT DUKE NUKEM? It was 12 years since the last one came out, and the new one will be releasing on June 14. So unleast its 12 years (2018) i wouldn’t be talking.
I’ve given up hope on Battlefront 3, I would love to see it on the Xbox 360, but I heard micrsoft is hiring people to work on the next console and to be honest, we wont see another battlefront for a long time, I’ve checked this website every week since I favorited it for battlefront news, only to be let down again and again. Battlefront was Lucas Art’s best game, maybe tied in with the force unleashed, or maybe behind it.
well honestly i can say that it has ignited a little spark… lol no not really. This could mean lots of things… We have had some crazy posts in the past that looked like BF3 for sure and i would have bet my life on it… but this is really just a toss up.. But who knows.. we have been wrong on all the others so far so maybe if we think its a hoax then this will be the real deal.. idk.. but swtor looks good right now.. so i suggest everyone get busy with other games and worrying about real possibilities and BF3 will suprise us all one day and we will rejoice and play the game forever and ever. And then ill marry Jessica Alba on a mountian side and we will have children.. Then we will form a family band and roam the country side. hahahahaha Anchorman anyone? no?…. No?… lol anyways.. Just keep prayin for the best
cool story bro
And there’s going to be flutes playing and trombones and flowers and garlands of fresh herbs, and we will dance until the sun rises and our children will form a family band, and you won’t be invited!
Best. Movie. Ever.
am i invited!!! :]
Meh, we’ll see
oh yeah… best movie ever. I have watched it maybe a 1000 times and a laugh harder ever time.
99% chance it is Timesplitters 4 and 1% chance it is Battlefront 3
unfortunately true,i have no confidence at all that the game Crytek are going to announce is Star Wars Battlefront 3
Why is the site still up?
umm cuz its awsome!!!
Why do you ask stupid questions?
Why were your parents stupid enough to have you?
Better yet…
Why was anyone stupid enough to have your parents? O_o
Seriously, All u pessimists can go die in a hole and ,d***it, go to hell for all i care. My optimism is twenty times stronger than any of you idiots negativity. BF3 FOREVER!
WOOOOO YEAH
Oh and Nitro I would be interested if you posted things about Star wars gaming.
whaaa….?
Didn’t you read what Nitro Said????
oh he was refering to the article!!!! im special
Well I dont care what most of you think. I think that this is gonna be either Battlefront III
Or the Force Unleashed III Which we all know is already coming out ;(
Or someother Lame Game
I’ll be one of the people that’s “please”d if they make Battlefront III.
And “the most important thing to” me is Battlefront III.
Damn straight I’m pulling these from their own words. I want my game!
The UK game development scene is well known for producing excellent racing games…
are you hinting the battlefront 3 is going to become a kart racing game or something?
