Still No Battlefront 3… Your Comic-Con Opinion?

Well Battlefrontians.. another major event.. another major disappointment. At this point, I know that a lot of people are really starting to get frusterated and give up hope… but I am not. Until Lucasarts directly comes out and says that they are not making Battlefront 3, I will always have hope.

The “exciting” announcement from Lucasarts at Comic Con.. well.. wasn’t so exciting in my opinion. It’s pretty cool, but it’s not really what I had in mind.

The Limited Edition Kinect Star Wars Bundle:

starwars-kinect

Star Wars Kinect Bundle

“Limited Edition Kinect Star Wars Bundle

Get the Xbox 360 Limited Edition Kinect Star Wars bundle, with the first ever white Kinect Sensor and custom-designed console and controller based on popular Star Wars characters R2-D2 and C-3PO. Use the Force like a Jedi and immerse yourself in the Star Wars experience you’ve always dreamed of, in ways you never imagined possible

Our good friend Rainz also chimed in with some words of disappointment.

“Rainz here with some sad news,

Well, our hopes of LucasArts announcing BattleFront 3 at Comic-Con were shattered today. At the LucasArts panel, they revealed new information on their Star Wars Kinect title (Lightsaber functions, podracing etc.) They also hinted a realease date for this Chrtistmas. Now that was to be expected, but I held my breath waiting for the “Suprising announcement” to be shown as Battlefront 3, but no, they told attendees they were going to be bundling the game, Kinect, and XBOX together. Needless to say, I was devastated.

Now it only looks like any chance of BF3 getting announced is when the Blu-Ray is released, or when the 3D remakes of the original trilogy hit theatres. But for now, all we can do is wait.

~Rainz

People are still saying that Spark Unlimited will be revealing their secret unannounced game in the near future and they are still convinced that it is Battlefront 3. At least we still have some hope!

Thoughts welcomed!

    Yeah… I’m pretty much done. Damn you LucasArts… you know that no one likes the stupid BS you call the Clone Wars, right? I know that you’re just trying to get young girls involved, but SW is anathema to anyone but nerds. All that you’re doing is alienating your faithful fans while failing to get new ones. Way to go. Great marketing strategy.

    I’ll say it, since no one else seems to be able to. “No, George. That’s a terrible idea. You should never include (Jar Jar, Whiny Anakin, Padme Suckitala, Teenage Whiny Anakin, Slaughtering Younglings, ‘NOOOOOOOO’, Ahsoka Tano – you pick) in Star Wars. This is supposed to be a serious space opera, and you want to include a fart joke?”

    Guys, this game isn’t coming out. We’re done.

      I can understand your complaints on the Prequels, as time passes those movies will be much more appreciated than they are by many your age. I can’t understand why you’d think Battlefront 3 isn’t being worked on. http://www.youtube.com/user/TuggieGameReviews I for one believe that this YouTuber has some very good insights on to this game’s progress and he’s just as valid a source for information as any of us. You can sit and pout all day about LucasArts and Star Wars Prequels, but I’m sure you’d rather have’m as they are than not at all and I’m sure if you were nihilistic about Battlefront 3, you’d miss out on all the excitement anticipation brings, even if it LucasArts says they aren’t making the game.

      @James
      And I find your lack of maturity disturbing….

      People forget that the people at LucasArts don’t live in ivory towers. Watch any Star Wars video, Read any article about Star Wars, You will see comments about Battlefront 3. They’re going to make it. No matter what, They’re going to make it. The issuse is…. Will it be any good? If spark unlimited make it, Than the answer could easily be know. I know I’m going against quite a lot of other fans, But I wouldn’t mind it to change itself substantialally, Maybe into an FPS or Team BAsed Shooter. I used to always play two on first person mode, And it was one of the best FPS I’ve ever played.

      Also, Grow up james.

        I agree to you Cormac. On every sites there is about star wars games, or upcoming projects by any sci fi games there is talk about star wars battlefront 3. There are still servers on gamespy with gamekeys (dont know why nobody is talking about them) if im not wrong, and they pretty much say that the game is alive.

        Lucasarts know what is important… And I do not think they want to be known in the history as a high quality gaming company that went to child games…

        Also as I have stated before… The forum post that is most commented and viewed on the forum on Lucasarts.com is about Star Wars Battlefront 3!

        I was going to say one thing.
        I agree with you and…
        If we take a look at the history of Battlefront..
        We may realize the pattern.
        Maybe Battlefront 3 will be released with the Blu-Ray set.
        It will have a label saying which version it’s for.
        I will say one thing.
        If you lose faith it takes you forever and it never comes out. And it’s a bad game.
        If you have faith it doesn’t take forever and it does come out. And it’s a good game.
        Look at DNF.
        Nobody believed in it.
        When it was finally released it was a crappy game.
        Now if we believe in Battlefront 3.
        If we believe that it will be an awesome game…
        It will.
        It will not take forever.
        Read this comment everyone.
        And listen well.
        Amen.
        AND MAY THE SCHWARTZ BE WITH YOUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!
        WHAT A WORLD WHAT A WORLD!

        I am an older guy (46) and I know that SWBF2 was a game that my son and I just sat and enjoyed. It was something that was very helpful for us to continue to love just being in the same room with each other. I had just got separated on the road to divorce and it was tough on my son as well as myself. In our household money was very very tight for obvious reasons and this also provided inexpensive entertainment.

        Playing the game provided us the needed relaxation and appreciation time.

        So since then, our situation has improved greatly, he is off to college now and I have been able to get to a better place financially.

        SWBF3 is something that we both look forward to so we can play online and keep in touch while he is away. I will miss him big time.

        I hope they can create this game for all of us fan for a myriad of reasons…

        LucasArts…Either do or do not, there is no try…

      Actually! There has been reports on March 20 that there might be a SW:BF3. Free Radical is not making it though. Something called Sparks is! At least some one steeped up to the plate.

    Well, like you said. Until Spark announces the game. What doesn’t LucasArts understand though? I mean if they make, they have to know they will make so much money. But maybe it’s a good thing we are waiting. It might mean the game is even better

        @Jayson

        But those were games with more straight forward stories right? (I have never actually played them)And battlefront is more about the awesome epic battles in instant action, so perhaps it could be a could thing, ya know getting awesome technology to make one kick 25 v 25 star wars game? I don’t know about you but that sounds pretty sick to me. :)

    Man that really sucks. I kept looking for news about the “big announcement” but all it was was this xbox! I wish lucasarts could just say something already about the game…but i guess its a secret….all I can say is I’m really looking forward to the Spark Unlimited announcement. I have to say knights of the old republic looks awesome, not battlefront 3 awesome but awesome lol.

    Ok, that is really the last straw for me. Who really CARES about the kinect game. I am not going to get it, screw it. I thought that Battlefront 3 would be announced at Comic-con or E3. Nevermind then, I am just going to wait for The Old Republic…>=O

    This was a dissapoint when I saw them announce it, but hey Spark hasn’t announced their game yet! Therefore I will not loose hope until they announce their game.

    That hurt. Though the xbox itself and controller look cool, I really don’t care. If anyone has been following TuggieGameReviews on youtube, I have to stick to his opinion. I think we may have to wait for Battlefront 3 news until after The Old Republic comes out.

    A big disappointment indeed!
    We’ve waited so long for the annoucement and LucasArts knows that. Surely the understanding that everyone wants Battlefront 3 is enough to spawn some generation of that title.
    Battlefront was, without a doubt, if not one of, the biggest successful Star Wars video game title released. The Force Unleashed 1 and 2 were let-downs so in order for LucasArts to climb back up the board with great emphasis, Battlefront 3 must become a reality.

      i totally agree with you. Lucasarts have been making mostly crappy star wars games for the past 5 years. in order to get back on top they got to make a Star Wars Battlefront 3! Not these small side ones on the psp. although they were pretty good

      i rather ewnjoyed the first force unleashed, but force unleashed 2 was just rubbish, i remember watching the teaser years ago thinknig it will be awesome, it was nothing like it!
      Lucasarts, just do another BF3, obviousely it will sell well! ‘I find your lack of faith disturbing!’

          yeh it was the best selling satr wars sub-series, i loved battlefront 2 as much as the next person, i have it on PC and loved it for 2-3 years befor realising i could downlaod fan made maps and mods, sio it kept me happy for a long time! Lucas Arts just wasted money on Force Unleashed 2 probaley attempting to make it a series better then Battlefront, but it failed! I like the first force unleashed thoguh, but still when will LucasArts realise that what made the most money and what all the fans want are one and the same? Battlefront 3!
