I hope all is well with all you Battlefrontians! It’s been a long, long time since my last post so I figured I would take the time tonight to do a quick post with a few updates. This is probably the longest drought for no news in a very long time… If Spark Unlimited is making Battlefront 3, then they are doing one hell of a job of keeping it secret and they deserve a round of applause for it.
To the news.. well.. more like information.. LucasArts have renewed their domain, starwarsbattlefront3.com until October 19, 2013. This, in my opinion, is great news.. at least it will keep our hopes up for at least another 2 years!
It’s that time again as well where the buzz for the 2011 VGA’s starts stirring, and whether you like it or not, they are fast approaching! Not much has been announced yet, but we will be definitely keeping tabs on any tidbits!
The Spike Video Game Awards 2011 will air on December 10, 2011
A Few Small Updates; LucasArts Domain & VGA's,
Does anyone know if SW Battlefronts I and II will be remastered for HD release on the PS3 or Xbox 360?
I hope so… This would be the least Lucasarts could do. Fix the bugs in SWBF I & II, and release them on the PSN and XBLA.
well, I think I did see battlefront 2 on PSN before, but I don’t know if its for the ps3, but if it is, then you can only get it on PSN. I know nothing of the 360 battlefront 2 (if there is one)
p.s. long live battlefront!
Yeh, I checked that out, its only for the PSP…
Coincidence!
SW: Battlefront and SW: BF2 HD ‘remasters’ were things in the works for roughly 6 or 7 months about 2 years ago, or so, if I recall correctly.
This was right around (if not a little before) the time LucasArts re-started their huge managerial overhaul/project cancelation cluster process that lead to things like TFU II, the ending of the LEGO Star Wars series, the ending of outsourced collaborations after The Old Republic, etc. I think the studio they’d tapped to handle the PSN/XBLA ports has even been shut down.
Not sure if they’ll be picked back up (again, there was only a bare minimum of early pre-production work started), so keep hope alive. I’d love to play these again, too!
Their is no difference between HD and “normal.”
All I want is battlefront 3
dudes! i really want this game to come out! all this time waiting i’ve been coming up with different story modes they could put in this like: Knights of the old republic battles, command wars, wars that take place after the movies and even the jedi bounty hunter wars! the psp games r ok wen kill the time…but i want a real SWBF to come out! i dont think i can wait any longer man! >.<
Indeed, they could even improve the galactic conquest so that it becomes a true strategy game: f.e. Not only having to conquer the planets and commanding ships, but ground troops to move over the planet itself as well. This would make it even more epic and grand-scaled galactic conquests. I’d like to see the heroes improved as well, differ the gameplay for them a bit, Star wars Episode 3 (PS2) of The Force Unleashed style. Making (for as far as possible) the heroes a little more realistic in their moves and abilities would be nice as well (no more 1000 force jumps anymore and not as much force energy, put a separate force meter instead of ONLY a stamina-meter). These were only some ideas, so any comment is appreciated and not taken personally.
I’m sure this has been thought of, but I’d like to see a creative element that involves the PSN. Something similar to the user created worlds of LittleBigPlanet. That way we could entertain ourselves and each other with fresh battles (and perhaps even campaigns) that will keep us going for the half a dozen years it’ll take to see BF4.
Everyone keeps your hopes up. SWBF3 has way too much $$$ potential to be ped up on. Especially since the gameplay was already very seamless. It’ll happen.
Hey, just to let you know you left out the ‘keep’ in “at least it will…our hopes up”
-sorry, it was bugging me; otherwise great article!
I’m startin to really lose my patience…
Like someone stated, this is the calm before the storm. I would stay tuned to the VGA’s, as Spark has been working on their game hopefully enough to have a trailer, maybe a little gameplay. They can at least announce it. And announcing it before TOR can also be a good idea too. TOR hasn’t had much publicity, and if people see BF3 is coming, they’ll be like “hell, I forgot how fun Star Wars was! I’ll buy both!”
I expect the VGA’s to be an announcement. And the last secret project that was announced as a surprise was Twisted Metal PS3. It was announced at the last second at E3 2010. There were few hints, but never a solid announcement.
While we appreciate your optimism, GeneralChaz, Spark themselves have said that their “secret project” (a.k.a. Battlefront 3) will not be announced till 2012. While they could be simply attempting to throw us off, we probably won’t see an announcement until then.
Keep up hope, Battlefrontians!
OMG GOOD NEWS!!!!
If any of you watch the Clone Wars, or any latest productions by Star Wars, you will know Dave Filoni. He is a huge SW Fan. He is a producer and engineer on the characters in The Clone Wars TV Series, on Cartoon Network. And they say he is an engineer, “Dave F.” (Hint Hint), but they did not give his last name away, probally because it would show what they are working on. So they are trying to hide it.
“We welcome another engineer, Dave F., to the ranks today. (Time to order more workstations for the next batch of hires coming Nov 1.)”
(I think we have it. “On many fronts” — Thanks Kal Skirata, may the force be with you., and more like the job openings on their site. Everyone, buy your Ps3s, we have Battlefront 3!
Thank you for thanking me! May the force be with you as well.
However, (and this is just me thinking here) wouldn’t Filoni be kinda busy with Clone Wars being in the middle of Season 4? If it is actually him though I am happy that they have someone skilled as an engineer, and partly sad because that opens up the possibility of Battlefront being Clone-wars (animated)0 themed, something almost no-one wants.
Anyway, we can all hope for the best
MTFBWY! <(may the force…)
Good news! On twitter spark was asked if their employees have played previous games in the series of the game spark is working on. They answered “I would say all key people have played previous versions of the game. Not much playing of them now” They say “Versions” and “them” which means their was more than one predecessor to their game and Battlefront fits that criteria with BF1, BF2, and BFE!!!!
…This sounds good…However I am getting bored of Battlefront II so They better make it soon before I Lose interest in the Game D: and they better have something thats improved(HINT: More Factions, Maps and More Modes)
Mods mods mods. Some new maps can help spice it up, if you want a whole new game download the Convo pack 2.0 from filefront. There are plenty of youtube vids of it online. (It adds a whole KOTOR era and like 60 new heroes).
Keep the faith, ner vod! Spark will pull through for us.
Also if you have BF1 it is pretty fun to play as well
Yep, I have that one, it’s awesome!
-_- I DO have the Conversion pack, but still Im finding the Game boring…I Also have Battlefront Xtreme…But not enough Servers have those maps(Offline is boring FYI
Hell yeah I remmebr playing that like 3 years ago it was my first mod and I was like WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Anyway, anyone whose getting bored with swbf2, give battlefron files a look.
till i collapse i’ll be waiting for battlefront 3
